Elfen Lied: Tooriame nite Arui wa, Shoujo wa Ikani Shite Sono Shinjou ni Itatta ka? - Regenschauer

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.

Well, I guess this episode was supposed to clear things up a bit, but for me it didn't even get close to doing that.
In my opinion, this episode is pretty much useless.But since it's Elfen Lied, it's good.
I was really expecting it to be a continuing of the ending, since it left so many unanswered questions. I'm hoping there will be a second season sometime, but that seems improbable.

Mixed Feelings

The "Elfen Lied" DVD special feels like an attempt to do a "quick fix" on the story that they botched up in the original series. This attempt resulted in somewhat mixed results. On one hand it does succeed in shedding some much needed light on certain events, such as the capturing of Lucy, however on the other vector, the explanations feel like they've been shoehorned in, resulting in inconsistencies in areas such as character development, and raising almost more questions than it answers. This is inline with what I would expect from "Elfen Lied" though, given its track record of throwing in large scale twists ... and backstories without carefully considering their impact on a wider scale. This isn't going to change your opinion on the series either way though. People who liked what they saw in the series will want to check this out because of the extra background it provides, and people who did not aren't likely to have their minds changed by this offering, given it has pretty much all the flaws of the original.

This OVA made clear again how each cell of those beings called characters is full of stupitidy.
This OVA made clear again how each cell of my body is filled up with hatred when watching EL.

Ones are cool. I like to rate this one time. One, hahaha. Did you get it?
*smashes head onto the table, multiple times, until bleeding

1/10 would rate again.


(This is just a little joke review which wants to tell that a hated the show. Please don´t judge me just by reading this BS. :) )
...
Now I have to write a bit more because JavaScript tells me to do so. Okay here I go:

Some facts about Elfen Lied:

- The outcome is god. Nothing, NO event at all occurs to make the developent of the story a bit more "realistic" or "spontaneously happening". Everything is determined before it even begins.

- Kohta has probably an IQ equal to 50. No ok, let´s say 51.

- His friends have an IQ of 40. Kohta´s incest cousin has an IQ of 80. But because the story tells her to keep quiet, so that even more people can die, because this is cool you know, she keeps quiet.

- Watching Elfen Lied at 1,5x speed is approximately 12,5% of the speed you should watch the show when you don´t want to waste your precious lifetime.

- Watching only the opening and the ending of each episode is probably better than skipping the OPs and EDs, because they´re more fun to watch.

- Forgiving the killer of your whole family in 2 seconds of thinking just because the killer´s a cute horned pink-haired girl is totally O.K. and makes sense.

- The policemen are, in reality, just clones. Because of the intellectual drawbacks dued to the massproduction of human, the policemen aren´t even able to activate their cerebellum, an important part of the brain, which has i.a. the function of activating the vital survival instinct of the living being. That leads to the ineluctable fact that policemen in this anime can´t even draw back when they see their colleagues being slaughtered one by one, not even when they are explictly told not to draw closer to the slaughterer than 3 meters.

So JavaScript, do you want to let me pass now?
*quits wasting his time writing about time wasting shows
