The Elfen Lied watch order is short but has one wrinkle: 13 television episodes plus a single OVA that belongs in the middle rather than at the end. Begin with Episodes 1-10, then watch the Elfen Lied OVA — often numbered as episode 10.5 — before finishing with Episodes 11-13. Slotting the OVA into that gap is the correct order, since it falls chronologically between the tenth and eleventh episodes rather than after the finale. This 2004 Arms production blends horror, drama and psychological tension as the Diclonius Lucy cuts a bloody path while a gentler side of her forms bonds with the people who take her in. There are no movies to track down and nothing else to route around, so the complete viewing is simply the ten episodes, the OVA, then the final three. Start at Episode 1 and remember to pause for the OVA before the last stretch.

## The order

1. Season 1: Episodes 1-10
2. Elfen Lied OVA (OVA) — optional
3. Season 1 cont.: Episodes 11-13
