egoplant said: *knocks down* hey get out of my way, stupid kid! No offence, but things like this just don't happen in real life. The whole series has moments like this that are just unrealistically sad, which makes them take you out. Yeah I could understand Lucy being mistreated back when she was in the orphanage, but I thought it was a bit silly how they're trying to make it where everyone is out to get her. The women gossiping about her was really off as well. @ Episode - Lucy at the zoo was cute, showing some tsundere towards Kohta there. But wowow, she's gone full out yandere at the festival. It's conflicting to see her kill civilians like the family in the house, because although it's disturbing it's not like I can hate her because of that, considering her warped view of humanity and how natural killing feels to her. I'm not going to lie though, I might smile a bit if Yuka dies....or maybe more than a bit. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Lilium <3 I liked them humming the melody. Surprisingly for myself I seem to understand things going on in Nyucy's mind, though most of the things she did are undoubtedly cruel even considering what she had to go through. This episode's unveiled a lot, though not everything. :3 Looking forward to watching the next one. |

| I wish Lucy would die. |
 |
| I hate Lucy even more now. It is heavily hinted that Lucy killed Kohta's sister and father. Im hoping Im wrong. |

| D'AWWWWWWWWW young Lucy and Kohta were kawaii as fuck, then the end of the flashback rolls around and makes everything all gruesome and exciting again. You can't defend Lucy killing random people; anybody here knows you don't get by with that in real life. Lucy is an anime version of a messed up kid who goes on a school shooting pretty much - kid gets bullied, goes crazy, kills people. Nobody thinks it's okay for school shootings to happen, nor do they believe the perpetrator had a good reason to do so, no matter what happened to him. Lucy's purpose in the anime isn't to make you build sympathy for her; it's to show the drastic consequences of what can happen to someone who's prejudiced against or harshly mistreated. That said, I do have sympathy for Lucy and feel bad for her, the same way I have sympathy for the offenders of these crimes that happen in real life. But having sympathy for them doesn't excuse, condone, or defend them. On the other hand, you can't say Lucy's reactions in this episode were unrealistic, because, as I said, these events do, sadly, happen in real life. Just not with the fancy vectors and other shit to make it more interesting 'cause it's anime. |

| Good story. Lucy's reasoning is perfectly orchestrated. |
| Sure, Lucy had a bad previous experience, but to go crazy(for it to be a trigger) because Kohta was with another girl, ahhh, they could incorporate something else. And I hate stupid love triangles, this is such a let down. Fall of a such good series, *sigh*. So much potential lost *sigh*. |
| Such an adorable episode. I love young Lucy, she is really cute, is just like any other girl at that age. ..Apart from the psychopathic side of her.. Anyway, This one was my favourite episode so far, really enjoyed it, yeah, even the ending part. Even though I didn't read the manga, it looks pretty obvious that Lucy has something to do with Kohta's past. |
| Yeah, Lucy decided to go full on crazy then... This episode didn't get me like Lucy any more than I previously did. On the contrary. She was killing families even before that crazy Lucy took over. And to turn into psychotic killer just cause Kohta told her a little lie. Nope, no sympathy here. And the good damn love triangle. I feared for this to happen. Why Lucy, why? I really hope Nana will be all right after round two with a meeting with Lucy. |
| "Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it." |
| That's a terrible past... |
| lol Yuka is his cousin dats nasty |
 |
| I hope Lucy somehow ends up being the nice girl she should be :/ |
| That was a long flashback. But I'm still not certain about the connection between Nana being born in the laboratory and then having met Kohta back when she was a child... it's like some important link is missing in all of this. |
| sad bg story :/ |

| Yay they had a lot of fun at the zoo! The splash fight was funny. "Haha, got you!" *shoves into water as retaliation* xD Although it was pretty disturbing when Lucy started strangling Kohta o.o And then he was just like: "Yo what's gotten into you? You surprised me there! Silly girl!" Which was a pretty mild reaction imo. That person talking in Lucy's head is creepy o.o And it's really weird how Lucy's just like: "I need somewhere to stay tonight...I'll just kill a family and use their home!" Tf??? And the festival incident was pretty scary. |

| Now they started having naked children. Goddamn it. I don't know what it is with these shows, but the backstories serve to make the characters even more unlikable. 2/5 |

Scribbly said: Possibly the best episode so far... the trip to the zoo was unbearably cute, especially considering what came next :O Amazingness all round, only 4 episodes left. Hate the ED. So out of place. I'm just gonna listen to the OP again instead :) Lol I love the ED. I think it's probably one of my favorites I've seen so far. |
| After seeing this episode i just want kill people xD |
 If you watched 13 Reasons Why in 13 hours in a row (like me) you got my respect ! |
| na na naaaa na naa , this theme.. |
| Wow this anime is awesome! I'm am hooked I can't wait to see how this ends. This will easily get a 9 for me and if it's a good ending it would be a 10. |
What is this interior design? So unique! |
WTF? what is the problem ? is this make any sense ? that idiot girl end up killing everyone.. but when we met Kouta he didn't killed ! OK , cool . maybe Lucy liked him because Kouta kind to Her.. but can anyone explain me she killed everyone like she don't care .. she act like professional killer.. but if she is pro in killing why she stop kill Kouta.. ok maybe she liked that's why she couldn't do it... but still it not feel right.. i don't think it was that much good... and please someone tell why every episode that some how show us neck girl.. almost look like Hentai anime.. because of that i couldn't watch in front of my family ///\\\ fuck that.....  |
| And so, the bad writing continues... |
| should've killed that annoying ass cousin instead |

| Hmm... I wonder the reason why Kohta LIED to Lucy, I guess he wants to keep both girl for himself, lol. I just realized that nobody called her Lucy in her childhood, I guess Lucy is the name given by that facility. Well it seems they're reserving the dark past of Kohta for later episode. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| how can anyone justify her at this point lmao, she definitely should be killed, the only good Diclonius is Nana |
| honestly i have to give this anime credit. this has to be one of the few anime that actually wanted me to watch more. it's just so addicting, yet disgusting and bloody at the same time. even with all the things gone wrong with this anime... still on lucy's side though ~ |

| Lmao the writing, Kohta doesn't question why she chokes him and goes on like it's normal She's gonna kill everybody isn't she |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Not sure why this Thread is actually alive after all those years. But 1/5, I hated it. Not only this Episode, but the entire Anime. But this was actually before I thought the manga was better and tried to read him. So I had to realize, the Anime was ACTUALLY better than the Manga, who was close to be a disgusting softporn full of.. what do I call it.. naked child and piss. Yes, actually piss. If you are interested to know what I mean and didn't read the manga, just write me. |
literaturenerd said: @TeamAlex The thread is active because Elfen Lied is an old, cult series with a small but passionate following and some new people who want to see the weirdness that made it a cult series. I understand why you hate the series, but why are you here? There are tons of cult classic anime that I don't personally think are that amazing, but I don't go over to the Armored Trooper Votoms threads just to say, "Hey, why are you guys talking about this old ass giant robot shit?! I didn't like it all that much, so nobody is allowed to like it!" Why not actually? It took me around 60 Seconds to write this Comment and I wanted to share my thought about this. There is no real Plot behind it. I would never count Elfenlied as one of the "Cult Classics" since even the Manga is still to young for it. Cult Classics are below 2000. Elfenlied Anime ist still on the ground of this generation. Well I am not sure if you read the Manga or watched only the Anime. But if you read the manga like I did, you would understand why I have to comment in the first place, to save people of reading this. It killed of my braincells, while I watched naked girls, girls peeing on each other and a mental 8 year old girl kissing an adult which almost had an orgasm. <- Yes that's my suffering after reading the manga. |
| so the flashback is over and lucy got ntr'd the story is so trash i love it |
| Lucy's childhood was very painful, they always treated her badly and irritated her for having horns. It was possible to see in this episode the great importance that Kouta had for her when she was younger. |

| This series has a good rewatch potential. Might rewatch this sometime in the future. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Credit to the writer(s) for making you actually sympathise with a mass-murderer. I shouldn't like Lucy, but I do, having seen her past experiences. Despite her killing innocent people for no reason, I feel nothing but sadness for her. I have no idea how this will end, but I'm loving the ride. |
