Tokkou

TOKKO I have previously started to watch. In comparison with Elfen Lied they both have pink haired kick ass chicks that seem to be good at blood shed for one reason or another. And both have a race of demons or new species (diclonius) trying to eliminate mankind. Both seem to follow a good story and have nice art and characters.

So similar they look like ripoffs.
- Prominent themes of revenge, sacrifice and rage, linked to a tragic past and a romantic subtext;
- Dark atmosphere and deadly fights against non-human creatures;
- Splatter and gore scenes, with mild/severe nudity;
- Secrets, investigations and lots of flashbacks;
- Same character backgrounds and tropes: male lead lost his parents years before the story's beginning, met pink-haired female lead when they were young, they reunite in present time;
- Majority of female characters;
- Same lenght and similar animation;
- Akin endings, leaving most to the viewer's imagination.

Although Tokko is slightly more of a male aimed show than Elfen Lied it felt like almost the same thing. There is the whole 'boy who met girl as a child and then never saw her again until x many years later' cliche in this series too. Hell, the chick, Sakura if I remember right, even looks like an older Lucy. Tons of blood and violence as well as the sentimental lovy dovy stuff as well. Not quite as emotional as Elfen Lied but enthralling all the same. Check it out.
Memorable openings are important and both of these series has done that. Both of these anime(s) have very memorable opening episodes/scenes where most people will remember it for a long time.
The similarity in these two series involves the action, gore, and emotional tragedy that the main characters suffers through. The protagonist of both series meets other characters and shares the pain as episodes progresses. Additionally, there is sadness, bloody background, and dark mood that fills the atmosphere of both of these anime(s). There is also romance, drama, and even little comedy filled in these thriller-coaster ride.
