| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- HOLY JESUS! This episode was so intence. I was prepared for some of the violence and gore and shit. Buy Mayu's backstory holy crap that just shocked the hell out of me. I was not prepared for the emotinoal roller coaster this series takes you on. I can tell you this. I will not be watching this series twice, despite the fact it is a masterpiece. |
 |
| It never emotionally affected me until the last episode... watching the dub was a really bad idea I guess. |
| I dunno the sences of what Mayu Chan really affected me. |
|
| I'm finally convinced to score this a 10, a score that I've only given to two other series in my list. I don't think I've ever seen an anime brave enough to use pedophilia in a backstory like that before. But I now definitely know how it makes me feel. I fully believe that Elfen Lied is a work of art. |
 |
| Seeing Professor Kakuzawa's head fly was the highlight for me in the manga so far. Seeing it animated was just as good. And Mayu's backstory left me just as depressed. I don't think I'll ever give this anime a 10 (manga is way better, and it'll be on a ten at the way it's going), but this show definitely deserves a 9. |
| What a story development with Mayu's history. It sure explains quite a lot and fits the overall plot nicely I think. Tsk tsk, serves you right you preverted fool. |
   |
| This series can hit home at times, but that is what makes it so enjoyable. So, there are male Diclonius? I wonder if they have any powers like those 'vectors'? |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| Lucy has got awesome power. *____* I like her relation to world. Lucy rule <333 |

kanaka said: Tsk tsk, serves you right you preverted fool. LMAO!! I could'nt agree more with you! Too bad Mayu-chan didn't possessed any Vectors... I would really want for Lucy and Mayu's foster dad to get acquainted sometime. ^_^ So does this means that guy's father(pressident) just wanted Lucy to bear his children too? ~Nyu... Both Lucy and Nyu are awesome! xD S3ph said: asandari said: It never emotionally affected me until the last episode... watching the dub was a really bad idea I guess. I watched the dub too! XD I liked Kohta's voice and Nyu's but the rest were crap... That's why most dubs in the industry suck! xD |
| Meh, I didn't feel all that sorry for Mayu. The story could have been told better I suppose in my opinion, but yes it sucks. The best part was Lucy's real self, shes's great. Kouta or whatever is lame, can't stand him. |
 |
| Good GOD, this episode was awesome. And man, I'd want to beat the crap out of both Mayu's mom and her stepdad. Her stepdad of course, but her mom's no Mother of the year either. She didn't even care. |
 |
| Very touching episode. |
 |
| Loved the Mayu backstory. It was awesome how Lucy killed the teacher without a moments hesitation. Completely badass! |
     |
| At first I was like "hey, this is bo-o-oring...", but head exlopding all of a sudden shocked the sh*t out of me. |
 |
| LOL The head exploding was so random and surprising! I didn't even see it coming. |
 |
| mayu's background story.... that's something i didn't expect. and talking about non-expectant. that guy's head exploded. sugoi |
| Mayu's the only character I honestly care for atm, but her story wasn't conveyed very well...it could have been much more touching. And I loathed how that dog's owner had to be the absolute epitome of evil - what kind of person wouldn't even say thank you? It seemed like someone thought there were some dumb viewers who wouldn't get the tragic situation otherwise...Seriously. Way over the top. And erm...does someone care about Wanta? o.O Is he just waiting in front of the door for ages or what? |
| A bit shocking. and controversial too. certainly not for younger viewers. I'm shocked myself. |
 |
| Yeah, just started this series and got to this episode in one sitting and I can safely say I'm royally freaked out. Good episode, emotional rollercoaster, and even MORE flying body parts! I just wish the ending song wasn't so happy, jeeze. :P |
 |
| Whoa, pretty in your face with Mayu's past. I feel really sorry for her. Head flying ftw. |

GeForce said: wolfsrainXD said: i lawled when he took off his wig xD served him right... wait... did he make love with the sleeping lucy?! Yeah, i was wondering about the same thing. But i guess he wasn't fast enough, or atleast i hope he wasn't... This was also on my mind lol, but i think he was still unbuttoning his shirt when the real lucy awoke. *goes back to rewatch* Yep, almost positive he was unbuttoning his shirt, not buttoning it up. So i don't think the deed was done :P |
 |
| LOL So does anyone agree with me on this? Head exploding leading to a cheerful ending song just doesn't really work for me. XD |
| Wow. Mayu's had a really messed up life. And I lol'd at.....*splat* XD |
| lol headshot. |
Wetpantsu said: i lawled when he took off his wig xD I was like; OMG! He's..BALD! :'D |
 |
| Mayo's background story....so sad her father is one sick bastard >=( and her mom is so stupid! |
 |
| POOR MIYU!!! i cant believe her father would do that!!! and her mother didnt even care!!! hmm i thought her puppy was taken away... but then she had it??? im confused haha X3 anyway poor Myu got taken... hmm i wish she would stay Myu!!! stupid Lucy!!! and YAY HAPPY B-DAY MIYU!!! |
 |
| lol she killed that asshole professor so fast xd,and then the happy ed song started :) i know that i'm going to give this a 10,but i'm going to wait and see how it will turn out... PS:i hope nyu kills mayu's father,and her mother two,what sick assholes parents 5/5 |

| OMG!! I think I cried through the entire first half of the show. Mayu-chan's back story was SO sad...and her mother's a bitch! I can't believe that she just signed over guardianship of her daughter to someone that she didn't even know!! Did that husband of her's really mean more to her than her own daughter? I just can't say enough how much I love Lucy! Rip head off first...ask questions later!  |
 |
| 1st half = sad 2nd half = badass with that flying head... :D |
| wow. talk about emotions... rape and torture of helpless things (children/animals) makes me physically sick... I didn't cry (like i did in Clannad ~after story~), but I felt ill. Fuck that step-dad, and the mother. Also, I <3 lucy... it's official. |
  |
| Khota in my language means chiken.... xD Maybe they took it from that cause Khota IS a chiken?! :P just a thought... lol Also the only reason i'm raising it's score is first.. that i LOLED so epicly hard each time i heard Khota repeated 10 times in a row and then cause Lucy kicked ass! ^.^ |

| I wish I could rate this anime 11. Otherwise I need to change my 10's to 9's, because they don't even compare to Elfen Lied. |
| "Let's have sex" -head flys- "Stfu dickhead." |
| Don't walk with a crowd. You will be bitten to death. |
| bwahahah head-explosion at the end was AWESOME! That's how we should handle all negotiations. Kouta and his cousin annoy me with their mutual misunderstanding. Sometimes Youka (Yuka? Uka? Yuuka? gosh...) reminds me Lucy with her gloomy face-expression. Hope she'll go mad too! |

| Wow....just wow. I really want to see Mayu's father get his head blown off. That was just so fucked up. A 10 for sure. |
| ya, that father was sick, poor mayu :( i lol'd so hard at that guy's head blowing up XD, guess thats one way to turn some1 down, go nyu >:D |
| I was shocked with Mayu backstory. She was a strong girl, how could she deal with that and yet be a normal happy girl? That Kakusawa.. I'm glad he died quickly, I could stand that ridiculous speech, he looked really creep when he took the wig off, yuck. And there was Lucy, naked again.. |
