That's because of the curses placed upon him. If those can be lifted, he should heal normally, or at least with the help of magic.

Episode 8
- - - - - - -
Did they say at some point the leprechaun girls are created by binding some ancient Emnetwiht ghosts to be able to use the Emnetwiht weapons? I can't remember anymore. If that was it, it seems like Chtholly is slowly being overwritten by the original spirit. I can't see the military being too happy about it, should such a thing happen. Otherwise she's nicely outgoing, hammering her way through the dude's skull. Too bad it might end in a tragedy, but that wouldn't be too surprising considering these girls were designed to be expendable weapons.
Looks like episode 9 is out, but I've only watched up to episode 8 so far.
Not sure how I feel about the series yet, I've liked watching it, but it seems like a lot of "rinse and repeat" scenes, and not much focus on the action which I wanted to see or into the political aspect, which has been quite glossed over other than for an episode... and not much at that.
Episode 10
- - - - - --
Did they create the Beasts by sacrificing whole towns of humans? That's quite a bioweapon: First it gets rid of a large amount of targets, then it uses their life force to create a monster than kills even more enemies. Or who knows if they were even enemies and not just random people. It feels like whoever created those weapons in the beginning wasn't particularly interested in making his own country win but just killing the whole humanity, a la the super villains of doomsday stories. It's the Emnetwiht's fault, yeah, but they were also the biggest victims of it.
I might be wrong, but I think the ghost inside of Chtholly is Willem's past girlfriend. Quite a combo.
Episode 11
- - - - - -
So, according to Elq's story, aliens led by Elq tried to stop humans from destroying the world by wiping humans out, but instead humans managed to kill Elq, stopping the alien horde's attack. After that humans turned into beasts and destroyed the world. It feels like there's something super essential missing in this story. Were humans originally simply following the mundane path of industrialisation and such, basically slowly destroying the environment, and starmen tried to save the planet like in an old scifi movie? To oppose those aliens, humans created monsters, but eventually those monsters turned against humans themselves, like in the second old scifi movie.
It seems a little unfair to blame the Emnetwiht for what happened because they would have died nonetheless even if they had done nothing, eradicated by the Engineers. Too bad for Willem nobody knows this whole story. Instead everybody blames the humans who simply didn't have a choice.
Canīt really talk a lot, because this anime went rather random, too. What I didnīt understand: Does the red haired girl intend to make Cotorri vanish? It wasnt clear to me because of how cheerful she talked about it. "Oh, so youīre still you, even though most of what makes you you has already vanished". Ok ... ?
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
So from what I understand all of the Leprechaun's are Elq. What about that catgirl? She obviously isn't. Her hair didn't turn red.
No, Leps are children who died without fully realizing it. Elq is just one of those and serves as Chtholly's base.
Peace.
Regarding the whole humans turning to beasts thing, it felt to me it spread like some zombie virus, probably with many vectors like air/water/contact and probably affecting many animals too:
Humans become beasts, and animals somehow get some human traits...
So you're either infected or get killed and the spread is exponentially faster each minute/hour/day
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It still has to tie in somehow with what the alien girl was talking about. It wouldn't be much of a story otherwise.Originally Posted by David75
They were busy trying to find weapons to fight the gods/aliens. They did succeed in finding some biological mods, but these hybrids started to develop on their own with exponential growth. So the human won with a weapon that also killed them.
And I added a digression to explain why we now have so many human/animal hybrids because I do not think we've been told any background stories about them.

Is that seriously the end? Wtf did I just watch?
Another mediocre series reach its end. Glad itīs over.

So...Leprachauns are reborn in another world after their death? That's all I can make out from this weird ending.
What actually happened and what comes after.
And duh, this contains spoilers. duh.
Peace.
This was still a better show than many others. At least the world building, the characters, and the general atmosphere had a bit more effort put into it than in an average series these days. Of course it's only my personal opinion, but I quite liked this, as tragic and forlorn as it was. One big factor was that the characters weren't all the time doing stupid shit and acting against their personality only to serve the plot, like happens in too many shows.
Pointless anime,
yet still a pretty good show
odd.
"Life's a bitch, and then you die" anime...

glimpsing through that reddit thread, it seems like this story is pretty fleshed out in terms of world building.
Pretty nice to read some of these spoilers, even though I can't truely make anything out of them (and don't want to because there is a chance that I'll bother reading it).
Now, it's a little bit sad that you don't get to understand *any* of that in the anime... they could at least have explained Elq a little bit more, not necessarily reveal what she is, but hint at things a bit more.
I enjoyed this show. It could have used a bit more episodes or another season (one of many shows that could have). I am starting the LN in hopes it goes a bit further into the story. I would like to know more about the visitors, the beasts, eboncandle, elq etc. Actually I am left with more questions then answers at this point.
