THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool episode, it's good to have no killing real drama or anything, yet still related to the story. Pretty relaxed and laid back. Nice. |

Not terrible, but not brilliant either.  |

I thought it was shitty. At that point in Lucy's life, it was a given that she had pretty much forsaken humanity, so she wouldn't have had another friend that she cared for like that. It was completely not her character. |

At least we got to see the characters we all enjoyed seeing again. Also explains why she spares Director Kurama's life so... meh its alright.    |

It doesn't seem to have any connection with the main story line...though it was a very funny yet sad episode. |

The flashback sequence was good, rest was rather sucky.  |

There was very little psychological value compared with Elfen Lied, but I suppose that actually distinguishes the OVA from the series. The OVA's setting seems quite random though. Good that it was short enough to be bearable.  |

Good that it was short enough to be bearable. My thoughts exactly. The OVA was a bit out there, but I was glad that there wasn't any violent gorey killings in this one episode and instead of bit of comic relief was added in :) Other than that, the OVA wasn't brilliant, but it was relaxing and a breather from the very fast-paced series. |

The flashback saved the OVA from being totally shitty, it's story taken out of nowhere... And btw, the flashback's story is taken from the manga, yet in the manga it was waaaay more complex and interesting (the little girl who got shot murdered her family members before, that's way she had blood on her clothing, and the relation between she and Lucy was deeper). Actually, I would prefer it if the entire OVA was about that story, instead of some stupid house chores... And humorous stuff like this doesn't fit Elfen Lied's atmosphere at all. I'm really disappointed by this OVA. |

Too bad they made this into an OVA. They should had aired it with the original show. Anyway, they show more of Lucy's past, as well as how she was captured. Also, the reason why she let Kurama live is shown. I don't think it would be smart of Nana to talk about this "daddy" of hers in front of either "Nyu" or Lucy. ~Nyu! I swear that's the cutest pet phrase I have seen in my anime career so far! ~Nyuuu.... Good OVA. They should get on with it and finish the rest of the manga with a new season or two. It's been almost 5 years already! ¦3 |

Nice OVA. It was interesting to see how Lucy was captured. Nana was funny too.      |
