| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy Jesus does this series not touch on a emotional topic? First Murder and Gore, Then Sexual Child Abuse, Now animal Torture and Murder... I have said it before, this series is effecting me so much. Its hard to even continue on...Im probly a wuss compared to most people but...yeah these series is good...but damn. |
 |
| agreed... Sandy and I are watching this together... and the emotions it's stirring up... I've been shocked, saddened, and filled with hatred... I've cried... I've laughed... I've gasped in surprise... no end to the emotional roller coaster this series has got me on... but I must keep watching... I need to know how it all ends... As of now, this series is getting a 10/10 from me, but like Sandy said, I'll never watch this again. =/ |
Yeah Chelle you are right: "but like Sandy said, I'll never watch this again. =/" Ill maybe show it to a friend, but i won't ever watch it by myself again... omg... |
| I knew that scene was coming, I knew what they'd do, but yet when the scene came, It still managed to cling to my emotions inside. OMG.... it's just... I really like this show, but, I also doubt I'll rewatch a few episodes of it. This scene being one of them. |
| Man, the dog's death left me speechless. At least it only got hit once in the manga. x_x This scene went too far in my opinion. I'm glad Lucy's past didn't just suddenly start at the beginning of the episode. I can't get enough of Nana either. She's my fav. That female professor bled quite a lot from a single bullet wound in the shoulder. 0_0 |

| Yeah I was so sad when the dog died... but happy when she killed them kids >.> |
| "Death... I am Death" |
| I think Chapter 60. At the moment though I still haven't finished the anime or reached Chapter 60 of the manga, but one thing's for sure; the manga is infinitely better. |
| This episode was so touching. Lucy's past and the death of her dog. :( |
 |
| Once again another backstory that explains a lot of things. Like above, I think I know whats coming from the last scene :o) |
   |
| yeah agreed. i will finish this series, but my re-watch value of it is definitely quite low. i used to think higurashi no naku koro ni was gross because of all the blood, but it pales in comparison to elfen lied.... |
 |
| Whoa, she gave the walls of that classroom a new coat of paint! This series isn't afraid to pull any punches with regards to sensitive topics, eh? |
| 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 |
| I'm re-watching elfenlied now and I was at this episode. Killing the kids was cool, well deserved, should be like that in real life too, assholes need to die. |
| how do I put this... yes I too wanted those kids to die when they killed the dog, however they seem to be around 9-10 years old. i'm not sure that they deserve to die for their horrible actions. maybe i'm being to realistic for an anime series. in real life i would want them to go to ridiculous amounts of therapy and definitely 'juvi', but in they fictional anime world they needed to die. shit. |
    |
| i never will watch this again.....its too bad and sad and too pain....i little cried when these idiots killed a puppy....i really dont like it :( and i think lucy is good girl in wrong world :( |
 |
| Lucy introduces an interesting way to deal with bullies, by exploding them O_O The dog scene was so depressing, I agree with you guys about not watching again, but i still think it's great, even though it is so violent and deals with child abuse and animal abuse. |

GeForce said: i was alsowolfsrainXD said: Kotori said: should be like that in real life too, assholes need to die. "...by then we'll be the only fucked up people in the world" lol i remember light and ryuk from that x3 i feel sorry for those kids... but i feel more sorry for that pup T_T oh well, i guess it was the right time for them to die... who knows what they'll become when they would be adults! Yea, i felt the same way. It was realy sad that lucy had to see how they torture the puppy. :( surprised and speechless by this event....seriously what tha deuce. |
 |
| Man the dog part got me angry. By looking into Lucy's past no one can just call her a cold hearted killer anymore. Humans like those little boys have made her into what she is in her future self, so I think its pretty natural for her to seek revenge. |
     last.fm ╢ My CG AMV ╢ Otaku Test ╢ |
| man i was waiting for those dam kids to get wasted, im just happy kids don't do that stuff in real life......... i hope they don't lol. im really enjoying elfen lied so far and im looking forward to more, very few anime make you feel this many emotions in a short amount of time |
 |
| Those boys filled me with hatred. I was screaming in my head "KILL THEM KILL THEM!" I dont think i've ever felt that way before. I wasnt satified with how quickly they died though, it needed to be slow and painful. Make regret being born. i.am.angry. |
    |
| That's some pretty fucked up kids... |
| When I saw what happened to the dog I felt sick. I couldn't believe it. I don't know what it is but if it was a person being beaten up I wouldn't care but the fact it was the dog made me feel angry and pyschically sick. |
 |
| Dang, mosy powerful ep yet. It was nice to see some Lucy backstory but damm! |
     |
| There is something unnatural about this anime wich makes emotions'n'stuff not to be accepted by my mind. Something so simple and childish. I vote 3/5 as I did for several more episodes of this anime. |
 |
| Those kids were psychotic! How could they do that to a puppy? So messed up! |

izmaelis said: There is something unnatural about this anime wich makes emotions'n'stuff not to be accepted by my mind. Something so simple and childish. I vote 3/5 as I did for several more episodes of this anime. Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I find this to be the best episode so far because it's the first time I've been genuinely touched. But then again I'm mad that it's because of puppy torture & murder. Come on, honestly, there's nobody who wouldn't be affected by this and that is exactly what's getting on my nerves. Any show could use such horrid animal killing and everybody would be touched. So - no big deal. All of this is too overkill-ish for me, but in a clumsy way. Lucy being bullied by kids in her childhood? I'm surprised!...not. Children beating a dog to death? Seriously, all the "bad people" are real epitomes of hatred and violence in this show, purely evil so that the audience HAS to loathe them. That's so tiring. But I still think it's worth to keep watching it, so we'll see. Maybe the end will make up for all of that to me. |
| Yeah, that girl is a bitch. She betrayed Lucy by acting like her best friend, but the truth is, she isn't. |
Manifest said: Man the dog part got me angry. By looking into Lucy's past no one can just call her a cold hearted killer anymore. Humans like those little boys have made her into what she is in her future self, so I think its pretty natural for her to seek revenge. Kinda what i'm thinking now. That dog scene was a bit shocking, almost seems far-fetched/unreal, some average freaking kids like that getting that kind of crazy look in their eye and beating a puppy to death with a vase? wtf mang lol. Actually, thinking about it alot in this anime seems too unreal, even for anime o.O After this i'm kinda put off from the show, finishing it anyway as i just want to get it over with at this point. |
 |
| The dog scene shocked me beyond belief. I can't stand animal abuse. Those children were screwed up in the head, clearly. How evil. |
| I'm marathoning this series, and buh. This one got me big time, as just about EVERYONE has been saying. LOL. I was so happy when the kids 'sploded. Serves them right! The bloody classroom made me smile. |
| Damn it they didnt show us the part where the bully got frigten !@#@#$%1!! i want to see lucy kill them one by one and last one is the girl who betray lucy.They all deserve it. |
| AMG, I never thought kids could KILL a dog. That's, insane... This made me cry, seeing them kill that dog... Seriously... |
| Friggen hell D: I cried in that dog scene... Like for ages. That went a bit toooo far in my opinion :'( Or maybe its just me, but animal abuse gets to me every time. I had to go hug my chihuahua Dx |
| These kids took what they deserved.Although, i would prefer they had a slowest death with more suffering. |
| Jesus christ. What the hell is wrong with those kids? |
| Wow, just wow. Glad Lucy didn't rip Nana's head off at the beginning. I'm still holding out hope that they'll be friends at the end :P . Glad to hear Nyuu seems to speak okay on her own now. This is a rough anime, Im handling better because Im older, I think. I wouldn't recommend for anyone under 18. No tears, just shock & horror. Poor puppy but damn I wanted to beat them kids too. Where were the adults when all this was happening? |
| Such junk... |
| Those are some fucked up kids. |
| Poor Doggy! :| What the heck is wrong with those kids? |
 |
| THEY KILLED THE PUPPY!!! the SOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo deserved to DIE!!! it was really EPIC 2!!! X3 that was AMAZING!!! how could that girl do that though!!! she told them even though she was the 1 who said the would be cruel 2 the puppy!!! grr... anyway i dont think Nana did anything wrong... hehe omg so thats how they met!!! cant WAIT 4 the next epi!!! =D |
 |
| That episode affected me. Poor, poor dog. Damn kids! |
 |
I'm kind of confused, was it Lucy or Nana who saw the torturing of the puppy?? Anyways, I'm waiting to see Diclonius Number 35. Interesting, I wonder how many dicloni are held captive anyways. Also I almost had to look away when they were killing the dog. I realized it was coming about 2 min before they did it because of Llama_Guy's review on Elfen Lied: " Just remember that it doesn't have the R+ rating for no reason - events ranging from a man watching his naked daughter ~~~~~to a dog being bludgeoned to death with a vase~~~~~ and live dismemberment takes place." - Quote Llama_Guy I liked the episode because it was very emotional. I loved it when Nana/Lucy?? made the evil bullies explode. They exploded. :) Edit: Nevermind, I get it now: It was Lucy as a child. |
