Synopsis

Having been accepted into the Kaede Inn, Nana struggles to find some way to contribute, though she inadvertently brings more trouble than assistance. However, Nana's worries are directed more towards fellow resident Nyu, whom she had only known as Lucy, the violent Diclonius. Fearful that Nyu will unleash the same horrific savagery—violence that scars Nana to this day—upon those close to her, Nana faces a dilemma: attempt to live peacefully alongside Lucy with all the uncertainty that that entails or dispose of the source of her worries, shattering the relationships she has formed at the inn. As Nana struggles to come to a decision, Nyu recalls a painful memory of one of her dearest friends and one of her greatest rivals.

I never really finmd myself enjoying OVAs very much. They never really add much. I love Elfen Lied and well this one does add a little to the over all story in explaining how Lucy was caught and locked away. Beyond that there really isnt much going on besides Nana trying to find her place at the house with the others.

While I enjoy the character sand especially Nana as she is probably one of only two Anime characters I felt so bad for as she has had such a horrible life and been through so much and still tries to keep a positive outlook ...

An even six for this episode, yet I gave the full series an 8? What is this madness? If I were to describe it in one sentence I'd say "I see why it was cut from the series in the dubbed version." While it provides a tiny bit more information about Lucy, its an unnecessary episode. I guess they felt they needed to pad it out or something. The bulk of the episode is just Nana doing chores and being suspicious of Nyu. I thought it was fine, but definitely skippable. The episode is, dare I say it, filler. Throughout the series they've touched on ...
