| Poor dog... He doesn't deserve to be abused in this way and even less to die like that. |
| This episode felt like it was written by an edgy 15 year old |

| Yeah, this world need less people like Bandoh. The fact that they bother to censor the dog's murder after the show have shown numerous decapitated human's limbs and heads, prove that the director of this episode care more about dog than human. I'm feeling there's someone pulling the strings behind to set up this scene to Lucy. Well, it seems that Diclonius was not artificially made by human. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| People defending those brats, lol. I don´t even like dogs, but those kids totally deserved it. |
| :v |
| Wow, those kids were so over the top evil they should become Jojo villains. Seriously, at this point this just a comedy. |

You say that and yet, it isn't like children torturing and killing animals including pets and even other children isn't something which hasn't happened in real life many times. There are actually children and people from all walks of life who are that vicious and belligerently unstable and actual history and the case files of many gruesome crimes, including those committed by youth offenders, is testament to that, so I question anyone's logic when I see it commented upon as if it's something so unrealistic that could never happen. Just because you are not a certain way and you've been fortunate enough in your life and upbringing not to encounter anyone at least on the surface or in their interactions with you that was that way, it doesn't negate the fact that they very much exist. It can and does actually happen. There are a lot more bullies in the world and homicidal ones than people care to admit or recognize, perhaps. Maybe an overly optimistic or rose-colored view toward human nature. |

You must not be smart enough to comprehend the actual reality of the world accurately portrayed in Elfen Lied. I would go far enough to say that Elfen Lied has the most well written characters in any anime ever. I firmly believe that it's one of the best anime to come out in the 2000s only behind the best anime of all time School Days. Anybody badmouthing this masterpiece will not tolerated. Bow before this work of art. Tl;dr Elfen Lied 10/10 |
| This anime shit is addictive |

In real life there people who are bland and have no personality, doesn't change the fact that having a bland character in a story is bad. |
extralie said: Ok, I'm tired of this argument. From one post? extralie said: Realistic does not equal good character. In real life there people who are bland and have no personality, doesn't change the fact that having a bland character in a story is bad. That is true, but the reason I took issue with the phrasing in your previous post above is down to referring to the characters in question as "over the top evil" and there is basically no context in which anyone describes anyone or anything in a show as "over the top ____" without the implication that it's somehow unrealistic. It's a phrase meaning too extreme and comical or off-putting for not being realistic. And I don't think this particular criticism of the show holds any water when these types of grisly crimes have been committed in real life by minors throughout history so it's not as far-fetched at all as a lot of people seem to want to believe. This episode and scene of the show is always criticized in the same way for the same reason and yet people act and describe it like it's something unfathomable that could never happen in real life even though it already has countless times. |
| This is the first time I got affected by the episode. Poor dog :( |
| Lucy you did the right thing by killing those bitches. R.I.P precious puppy >< That probably explains why she didn't kill Mayu's puppy earlier too though :o |

| Okay, that was Lucy's childhood Really tho, the writing is pretty hilarious 😂 Those kids are crazy for killing the dog like that |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| sooooooo kohta met lucy as a child |
| Yall seen the girl who snitched smile a little? Evil. |
| I was so angry at the kids who were annoying Lucy. I was also very sad in the scene where the dog dies |

| Poor dog, i think I'm going to take a break from it for a while... |
| I know your PTW list is bigger than your completed list. |
| I thought the dog scene was gonna get more graphic, I would have preferred something like what happened in Shoujo Tsubaki |
| Horrible. I think the worst part(besides the obvious dog murder) is that fact that her supposed "friend" smiled like that. True psycho |
| Very nice, thought that little girl was innocent and such but after that smile, I no longer can say that. They all deserved it. Way to go, Lucy. |

| yes. |
| I've never been so happy to see children being brutally slaughtered. I wish they would have been made to suffer, though. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| That scene made me cry. I'm absolutely lost for words. Brilliant backstory though. I really feel for Lucy. And when I saw Kouta at the end, it's like a surge of relief knowing she's about to be with someone who's actually human. |
| jesus fucking christ. as much as i hate dogs that hurt to watch |
