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?

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

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

Man Kouta is a total idiot. He doesn't say the right things to women. Seriously though if a woman asks you "would you cry if i disappeared" you say "hell yes I would, what's all that silly talk about?" But in all reality he's a moron. Oh and I really can't stand Lucy's dumb side. However her violent side is totally badass!

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!

Ok, so I just watched this episode. Just random thoughts:
Lucy and Nyu are sooo different!
Does Lucy have any purpose, a goal? Ok, she escaped, but now what? She will kill all the humans?
That headcutting really scared me the first time. It was so unexpected :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! ^.^

agreed
there is definately a very interesting plot but i think some of it is pretty lame.
like Mayu's mother just slapping her instead of doing something about it. how totally lame and over the top. like that would actually happen.

even the way the dog owner acted and Kotas reaction at the end was idiocy.

all in all, Poor writing of lines

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!

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..

A little too convenient that the son of the leader of the whole organization just happened to be their homeroom teacher. Lazy writing on their part.

Kouta has once again proven to be an annoying idiot - as expected.
Why the hell would he leave a young girl with memory loss who can't even talk with a man he just met without even checking up on what he said or even ask a single question about it?

But no, he just swallows the shit and walks the hell out while she is crying out to him for help. I mean what the fuck?! Especially when he knows the girl was being hunted by everyone and has frickin' horns sticking out of her head!

Oh, and the ED feels reeeaaaally out of place in this show. Why didn't they go with something similar to the OP?

I agree that this is more hilarious than interesting.
Kohta is an idiot as usual, not just for Yuka, but for letting Lucy go so easily with a man he doesn't even know without even asking a question or a proof whether what he says is true or not.
And while Mayu's backstory was sad I was like "Okay. That's sad. But what the hell does that have got to do with anything." It was way too over-the-top, like they really tried to choose the worst possible situation for running away from home. Also, of course the owner of the dog had to be a jerk...

first time pedophilia has been used in an anime that i have seen, was certainly shocking to say the least, but i do love a show that has impact!

when the guy took of his wig im sorry but couldn't help myself from laughing, but when his head went splat i literally went WOOOOOOOAH!!! so yeah definitely the ending and mayu's backstory made this one!
