A little too convenient that the son of the leader of the whole organization just happened to be their homeroom teacher. Lazy writing on their part.

Kouta has once again proven to be an annoying idiot - as expected.
Why the hell would he leave a young girl with memory loss who can't even talk with a man he just met without even checking up on what he said or even ask a single question about it?

But no, he just swallows the shit and walks the hell out while she is crying out to him for help. I mean what the fuck?! Especially when he knows the girl was being hunted by everyone and has frickin' horns sticking out of her head!

Oh, and the ED feels reeeaaaally out of place in this show. Why didn't they go with something similar to the OP?

And i liked when the professor died. Boom! Headshot!!! :)

Well, this episode had...about two minutes of optimism. That's good for this show's standards.

I can't seem to watch more than one episode at once. It's just too depressing.

I agree that this is more hilarious than interesting.
Kohta is an idiot as usual, not just for Yuka, but for letting Lucy go so easily with a man he doesn't even know without even asking a question or a proof whether what he says is true or not.
And while Mayu's backstory was sad I was like "Okay. That's sad. But what the hell does that have got to do with anything." It was way too over-the-top, like they really tried to choose the worst possible situation for running away from home. Also, of course the owner of the dog had to be a jerk...

first time pedophilia has been used in an anime that i have seen, was certainly shocking to say the least, but i do love a show that has impact!

when the guy took of his wig im sorry but couldn't help myself from laughing, but when his head went splat i literally went WOOOOOOOAH!!! so yeah definitely the ending and mayu's backstory made this one!

I felt so sorry for Mayu that she was abused.

And whats with this ridiculous idea of this people trying to create a new race -_-

The way Lucy chop the professors head off was merciless. But still those people kinda deserve it.

I bet that Lucy is going to turn back to Nyu and end up coming back home again.

Suppressed memories and the mechanisms he uses to keep them back may mean Kouta's mind is not firing on all cylinders.

I'll just assume all three of Mayu's villains (Mom, Pedo, Rude Witch) met with nasty ends off-screen. In neither version do you ever hear from them again. Prolly the Step-pedo married her Mom to get at Mayu, and promptly left her when she no longer had anything he wanted.

I hate the characters so much.... They are so freaking annoying and it hampers the show. So what they have backstories? They are just so.... boring and why the heck didn't the homeless girl talk about how she saw Lucy tear a young girl apart? I am pretty sure that is important, it isn't like you want to stay at their place, so why care about their feelings towards you. It won't hurt them to know the truth. This show is bad, just read the manga.

Good GOD, this episode was awesome.

And man, I'd want to beat the crap out of both Mayu's mom and her stepdad. Her stepdad of course, but her mom's no Mother of the year either. She didn't even care.


For real! I'm not really a big fan of Yuka though. It's like she's trying to push her relationship on Kouta when there's bigger things involved.

"Hey gurl, I'm just like you! So let's do what they do on the Discovery Chan--" SPLAT! Damn, that was great, last thing I wanted to see was another rapist at work in this series. Really felt for Mayu, was shocked they'd show that much and not just hint at it. She really did deserve a break. Kohta and Yuka are like the real parents for both Mayu and Lucy.

But good god Yuka, get off Kohta's nuts. Like seriously you're going to ask him another harem question while he's struggling over losing Nyu? Next thing you know "Oh hey I know we're watching Mayu get killed in front of us but would you touch my bottom the same way you did to Nyu? You won't answer me?? JERK, YOU'RE A JERK!"

Don't get Lucy... She didn't kill Nana and she also said that she never killed a "person" yet (diclonius or wtv), but then BAM she explodes the guy's head like it was no big deal for her even though it seemed somewhat relevant to her not kill her own species.

wat

ANYWAY

This was a good episode. It was nice to know Mayu's back story even though it was awful. Her mother is just terrible human being for not protecting her child from the pedophile stepdad. Also good that Wanta came back to Mayu.

Even though I'm not a big fan of Lucy she was totally badass here and I was glad when he killed that teacher. Because eww... Stupid rapist! And omg, when he took that wig off I almost died for laughter. *facepalm*

I'd like to know what this Lucy really wants. I'm so confused about her motives. It will be fun to see what she will do know. Hopefully she wont go back as Nuy and go straight back to Kohta. Because Nuy has started to annoy me as well. She isn't taking the story anywhere and I just want to know what Lucy is planning to do.

Kohta and Yuka are such an endearingly realistic pair. They aren't idealistic or perfected for cartoony standards, they're just two normal young adults who can't decide whether they love each other or not.

This guy was such a douchebag. I wonder who, in full control of their mental faculties, would capture and force Lucy into such bizarre ideas, knowing she can easily tear them limb from limb...?

Poor Mayu geez her back story was super dark, and her family doesn't even want her! D: Good thing Kohta and Yuka were willing to take her in.

Oh dear, I can't believe that Kakuzawa guy was gonna try and make babies with Lucy! I didn't know he was a diclonius as well. But good thing she ripped his head off...I guess!

Ugh but Yuka is still jealous... :/

Mayu's backstory... It's sad that that kind of stuff happens in real life, but here, it just felt like it had no real purpose other than getting sympathy points from the audience.

And then, at the end, it almost turns into a weirdo hentai. For Christ's sake.

"Okay, Mayu... take your clothes off... yes... now, bend over... good girl... ahah! At last!
Finally! I've been waiting all day: now I can stare at your asshole! Mwahahahahah!!"
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.

Oh man. I almost thought that Wanta the dog was going to be taken away for good. That owner seriously came out of nowhere. I was like, "What the hell? WANTA!!!" He's the best character of this show.

And those horns on that professor dude looked so weird. I kinda doubt they'll explain this, but perhaps they were fake?
Either way, glad he's dead.

So, nudity, implied rape, and/or attempted rape counts as an "almost hentai"? Why are anime fans so sensitive to anything sexual?
This show is more gore porn than it is hentai, but even that's a stretch.
