So, nudity, implied rape, and/or attempted rape counts as an "almost hentai"? Why are anime fans so sensitive to anything sexual?

No, because it literally looks like something from a hentai.

Same as some scenes from the Berserk manga. And that's one of the best stories I've ever read.

So much drama. So many emotions. Mayu's story is so sad.

The professor apparently had some plans of his own concerning Lucy/Nyu. Can't say I feel sorry for him. But I am sorry for Nyu being taken away from Kohta and Yuko. I really liked watching them taking care of her.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Dubbed anime is the best because you can wank without reading ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You obviously have never seen hentai.. That thought never even crossed my mind. Hentai has no story line and almost no dialogue. Bible Black is the closest thing I can even think of that is similar to an anime yet even then there is not much of a story. Hentai is not a form of anime, it is a form of porn. Saying Elfen Lied is even %0.00001 similar to a hentai is a disgrace to Elfen Lied fans and ecchi lovers in general! There is a difference between nudity and pornography which is completely different markets where one is considered high-class art that signifies innocence and is void of perversion while the other is a tasteless form of lewd entertainment.

That scene with Mayu's backstory always makes me tear up, the piano music really adds to the emotion as well. It makes me so incredibly sad whenever I see that scene. Poor Mayu.

The story just fell apart in the second half. The first half had the backstory of the biology professor/homeless girl's dad. But the second half just wasn't that much enjoyable.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Poor Yuka and her feelings...feeling jealous all the time. I'm happy Lucy killed that bastard at the end, even though he didn't seem that bad.

I know the protagonists don't know about Mayu's past but did the scriptwriter think it would be funny to make a joke about Kouta taking advantage of the poor girl?... Oh dear, this show...

As a whole, it was such an awful episode full of nonsensical/dumb decisions made by the characters (right, let's take the girl who can barely understand things nor talk to fucking school... like if there weren't other alternatives to introduced the creepy teacher's character). Now I remember the reason of why I almost drop this anime a few years ago...

I think Mayu is going to drown herself in that ocean.

Lol, a cake with a bowl of rice..... surely that will satisfy your hunger.

And....what? They easily brought Nyu to college, as if there's no entrance exam required, Nyu doesn't even introduce herself in that college (maybe they skipped it, but I wonder).

Yeah..Lucy doesn't need that professor because she already had what she need.

Mayu’s backstory is sad and disgusting. But there’s just something lacking in terms of the delivery of that story. Anyway, I'd want to beat the crap out of both Mayu's mom and her stepdad.

And I can’t help but laugh when that Professor takes of his wig lol. Thankfully his head got blown off hahaha.

Mayu's backstory is very shocking... She didn't have anyone she could trust, not even her own mother.
Kouta was wrong a lot, how could he deliver Nyu to a person without even knowing if she is really her family?!

Seeing Mayu's backstory was as refreshing as it was repulsive. That, coupled with Lucy exploding the professor's head mid-speech shows how well this anime goes against the usual "rules". Incredibly heartbreaking episode, but at least Mayu got Wanta back!

Lol Sorry, I had to. I know it's implied that she was raped, but they could have showed a bit more lmao Like, showing him unzip his pants or reach his hand toward her. Or, start to remove his clothes like the professor freak guy at the end of the episode.



So you're saying you wanted to see the rape of a child more explicitly?? A scene where a child is forced to undress and then get on her knees, completely naked, was not enough for you?

The sudden beheadings do suprise me, still the sound and the way the heads are cut is hilarious.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

This anime really never stops getting more and more fucked up, does it? It's also rather incredible how half of the people in that town seem to be assholes.
