Elfen Lied

[thundrakkon]

Umm... wow... another disturbing ep alright. I want more! I can't believe I'll have to wait another week.

**Episode 8 Spoilers**


I know they had to make you hate those kids so much, but wow, they really deserved it. I don't know about the little girl, though.

Since Mayu now knows about Lucy, does that mean that she is the next to go? It looks like Lucy is apparently loosening up. She might eventually be good? Though I bet if something ever happened to Kouta, the world will end soon after. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

It looks like we'll get to see what happened between Kouta and Lucy next week. Happiness!

**End Spoilers**

thundrakkon, u and i share the same thoughts. i can't believe i hafta wait another week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***************************spoiler**************** *******
u know, i watched epi 8 during the day during lunch. i went to buy a nice Chipotle carnitas fajita and i was all excited to watch anime and eat it. yes....i couldn't finish it when i saw that room....SHOCK!!! i was SHOCKED!!!!!

from the preview at the end of 7 on epi 8, i thought that was nana but it turned out to be lil lucy. they have the same hair cut...how cute!

and that dude's head. wtf. they gotta stop showing it. cuz he died really ugly.

YAH!!! i can't wait to see lil Kouta and lil Lucy. love at such a young age...how sweet. i guess now we know why lucy doesn't hurt kouta. NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! AW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
************************************************** ********

**************SPOILERS************* (though this thread is like 95% spoilers anyway [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img])

Not wanting to make the thread seem like its in a loop, but I gotta say, those kids deserved MORE than they got! Seems like they got a quicker and easier death than the dog (yeah they got ripped apart but at least it was quick!). It was obvious what was going to happen but that was harsh!

I wonder if number 35 will turn out to be Kouta's sister or something like that.

***************END SPOILERS****************************************

The only problem with this series is that its so short (I forget if its 11 or 13 eps), and its rushed through without enough (for my liking) having been established!! These half-season (whatever you call them) series can be pretty painful when they end so suddenly...I can see this being similar...

[Eurasian]

yah, it's like 13 episodes. i wish it was 26 or something. 13 more episodes of lucy!!

r u saying it's similar to konomini? CUZ IT'S NOT!!!!! man, i was so glad when it was over cuz konomini wasn't that good.

[Munsu]

I wonder if what Kouta calls his sister is in fact Lucy... maybe his family adopted her or something... If not im pretty sure that Lucy did something to Kouta's sister...

Damn that poor dog... getting clubbered to death... I think that's the most disturbing scene of the whole series at the moment

[Eurasian]

HEY! i was thinking that too. that lucy might be kouta's "lil sister." cuz the flashback from the beginning epi showed a pink haired girl as kouta's sister. but u would think kouta remembers how lucy looked liked.

[Munsu]

I dont know what the deal with this series is... but everyone seems to have memory problems...

Lucy, Kouta, Mayu... etc...etc...

[Eurasian]

HAHAHAHA!!! that's so true now that u pointed it out!

maybe kouta was really shocked from something and it caused him to forget. like he's to traumatized. remember lucy tried to attack him and she saw a horrified kouta? that's what i think...

[Munsu]

Yeah that's a given that it is all caused because of the shock...

But not everyone that has a shock has to lose their memory...

But it's all good...

[Aeon]

Just watched the ep, that girl deserved to get killed for telling on the poor dog and then laughing about it while she was pretending to cry. At the end of the ep was the boy that walked up to her Kouta?

[Elessar]

I think he is. And as I interpret the other posts, I am not alone with that opinion.
Anyway, good ep.

@Swallow Your Soul:
Think about it: a year has 52 weeks and 4 seasons (normally called spring, summer, autumn and winter).
52 / 4 = 13.
So a series with 13 eps and 1ep/week isn't half a season (for that would be 6.5 eps) but a whole season and a 26 ep series a double-season.

[thundrakkon]

Yeah, that kid in the end is Kouta. He looks like the same kid in the flashbacks, and he has that box, although I can't remember the significance of that box.

In TV terms, a season is usually 22 episodes in the US, and in Japan, I think 26 episodes is considered a season series, too.

I don't think that Lucy is Kouta's little sister. Kouta's sister had brown hair and a different haircut. I still think Lucy killed Kouta's sister. Lucy and Nana looks similar. I wonder if they were clones in some way?

Swallow Your Soul may be right. That is an intriguing idea that number 35 could end up being Kouta's sister.

Anyway, I can't wait until the next episode, and 13 episodes is way too short. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

[Eurasian]

WHAT?!?! kouta's sister had brown hair. i coulda sworn she had pink hair...my memory is failing me.

yah, i can't wait to see who 35 is! ah...another week...

my fajita is still there...unfinished...

oh, has anyone read the manga??

Yeah like thundrakkon said, I meant a television season rather than a calendar one...

As for the manga, only one chapter (and a small section of the second chapter) seem to have been released by Fuon - so I haven't bothered to read it yet (I can't read stuff in small chunks, I like to read a lot at a time). If anyone knows another place that has released more then for gods sake let me know! http://abate.veritynet.net/~wacko/downloads.html - this is the only place I know of...

I love this series, very few shows leave you wanting more so badly as this one does like at the ends of episodes 4 and 5, also Im glad Nana came back too. And my fav part was when shes talks with Mayu and Mayu thinks back to when she first saw Nana and thinks to herself "legs dont just fly off like that" and that it must have been a bad dream and then Nene's fake leg just plops off... Mayu just flat out passes out, that was priceless.

Also Ive seen the manga (un translated so I only know whats going on by the anime) but it seems to follow pretty close with a few "extra juicy bits" thrown in. But Ive got volumes 1-7 if somebody wants to translate them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[DraGunZer0]
