 If you liked Elfen Lied |  ...then you might like Darling in the FranXX |
Both shows center on the somewhat tragic love story of a voilent, pink haired girl with horns and a kind black haired guy. In both she is the product of experimentation, and this is a serious cause of her voilence. Also, as we go on we find out they are more connected than we realise, and in both shows memory loss is a significant factor in their respective journeys. Very similar shows indeed once you get into it.
Though one is a mecha anime and the other takes place in the present day, both are love stories about an ordinary young man and a mysterious pink-haired girl with horns. Both girls are formidable monsters from a research facility who are a threat to humanity. As the series go on, the main characters' backstories seem more and more similar.

While they share little in terms of genre there ways that these two shows have plenty of comparisons to one another. In fact while Darling in the FranXX has obviously taken inspiration from the Evangelion franchise, if you were to tell me that some inspiration had taken place Elfen Lied i would most certainly believe it The main comparison that comes to mind is that of our female protagonists, and to some extent that of their darling. while i wont go into spoilers, believe me when i say they sure more than just having pink hair and horns In another way that they do share inspiration is
