One day a light descends from the sky and splits into the ideal girls of Takeru and Ryou. That is where this gentle and vaguely romantic story about our ugly and beautiful world begins. Soon enough the story plummets into the secrets of global extinction and the meaning of life. Everything in this world that is beautiful has something ugly in it, and that ugliness is part of the secret of its beauty. Even for romance this is true...

For Kouta and Yuka, finding the bloody naked young girl on the beach would change their lives forever, for better or for worse. Unable to speak or function as a normal human being, she is named Nyuu by the duo, and taken into their home in an effort to save her. But what neither teenager knows is that this innocent young girl is actually a killing machine -- an experiment gone terribly wrong -- and it is only a matter of time before the murderer in her awakens again...
Imagine an anime that is very similar to This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (the story, characters, and ecchi), but include indescribable gore; that's exactly what Elfen Lied is. Watch it if you dare. ;)
P.S. Oh I almost forgot, both of these shows have very nice and catchy OP songs. ^^
Both of the series has cute girls with power to destroy, they are both amzing and im sure you'll enjoy both of them if you enjoy naked women, super powers, and total badassery.
Both of these fantastic anime start off with similar story lines. The girl who forgot her past, for whatever reason, now must depend on the kind hearted man with the troubled past to take care of her until all the secrets from her past are revealed. However, each anime has enough of a unique twist that it is worth investing in them both.
Elfen Lied and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World are a perfect pair. In both we have non-human female characters with a dual personality and a potential for being highly destructive that suddenly find themselves surrounded by humans. With no memory of the past, these girls provide the drama with plenty of nudity along the way. This Ugly Yet Beautiful World had many comic moments that eventually give way to deeper reflections while Elfen Lied is known for its violent content and emotional tragedy.
They both deal with girls that are not human and how the human guy they love interacts with them. They also both have a cousin that other cousin. They are more than similar and if you have only seen 1 your missing out on the other.
These shows are much alike and very entertaining in different ways. Both girls have split personalties that want to cause harm and destruction and other side to them is they are nice and sweet. Lucy/Nyuu from Elfen Lied is a mass murder and Hikari is an outer space being wanting to destroy the earth.
Elfen lied is very violent show a lot blood shed in it some hot shots in the show.
This Ugly Yet Beautiful world is very funny show (thats my opinion) it also has hot shots in their and it has a good romance story. (Thanks for reading my recommendation MegaB)
In these animes you have the main female characters that have the potential to bring about the destruction of the human race. However, to help you see the main male protagonist has the potential to influence her to fall to either the good or the bad. Both of these shows are about the emotional interaction between the characters.
As the series progresses you get to see the up and downs of the relationship as well as the beauty of love.
Both of these anime evolve around a young man who stumbles upon a loli-character who is frequently naked, doesn't understand human habits, and has amnesia. As the anime progresses, the loli-character is shown to have a destructive alter ego. While Elfen Lied has a a focus on bloodshed, the animes have similar character dynamics and relationships.
This similarities between This Ugly Yet Beautiful World and Elfen Lied are astounding. Both star a "different from the rest" heroine who has lost her memory from trauma; both girls also have two distinct personalities: one being sweet and naiive, the other bloodthirsty and vengeful. These animes are about human nature and the question of whether or not humans are inherently evil and incapable of redemption. They also feature a similar cast, from the clueless male to the male's friend (who happens to be a girl and has a secret crush on him). If you enjoyed one, you should try out the other!
She cooks, she cleans, and is a lethal fighting machine. Mahoromatic, former Vesper battle android, has chosen to give up her weapons, extending her remaining life from 37 to 398 days. As Misato Suguru's maid, she fights battles of another sort, fending off an amorous teacher on one hand, ecchi magazines on the other. Can Mahoro save Suguru's innocence?
Both of these shows have characters that fill very similar archetypes/roles as well as similar themes. If you liked either of these anime, Mahoromatic or This Ugly, then it is more than likely that the similarities in the other will appeal to you. Also both of these anime have virtually the same crew working on them.
Morisato Keiichi has always had bad luck. No matter what he does or how he acts, nothing seems to go his way.

Belldandy grants Keiichi one wish to make up for all of his bad luck, but when Keiichi wishes for Belldandy to stay by his side forever... the trouble begins. Can Keiichi keep Belldandy by his side, or will outside elements force her to return to heaven?
Both series involve a young man who encounter due to chance very mysterious girls that come in on a celestial bandwagon. They both also center around a hastily made on the spot decision during these encounters that causes the young man and the girl to find themselves living together and becoming companions. There is a nice balance of action, love, and even some funny moments or two. So what you get are some feel good stories with just enough slices of despair to keep you hooked. If you liked one, You'll surely enjoy the other.
Both of these anime have an "innocent love" quality to the main relationship. The main character is a young man with a passion for motorcycles and isn't great with women. He suddenly finds himself living with a "goddess" character after a split-second decision. Hikari and Belldandy share a similar quality that they are very naive in the beginning. (They even rally for their romantic rivals!) The feel of these anime are quiet similar, and if you liked one, you'll probably like the other.

Both of these anime focus mostly on a love story that is torn by darkness and potential tradgey. While the reason for the sadness in the love stories is drastically different you do find yourself at the climax of both anime being torn at the heart because you want things to end on a good note. The animation is both is excellent and they do both center mostly around beautiful girls. They are very different in plot and development but still mange to leave the viewer with similar feelings.
Both of these anime have similar character designs. The animes follow a young man's relationship with a naive young woman. The anime also introduces a bunch of cute girls who play into the story. There is a mixture of adventure and tragedy in both anime.
