Err... I don't think Elfen Lied resembles reality much, and IMO that's exactly why it isn't really that disturbing. It's kinda hard to relate to the thought process of some superhuman mutants, actually I can't really relate to any character in EL, those kind of characters just feels so... out of reality... That's why I think series like Infinite Ryvius, Narutaru, MONSTER, Now and Then Here and There, etc. are much more disturbing, the characters in those series are much more... "normal-human-like" I guess, which are much easier to relate to. The EL characters are more or less going extremes...
