Cousin relationship, such a stereotypical love story.

@Harout - Are you referring to the ending scene with Nana's new legs and arms? They're probably bionical like Bando's or perhaps new sciences have regrown them. Continue on to next episode -->

Well, Nana is alive, and it looks like she'll be the next one to kick Bando's arse!

r u confused about the 'nana'/'number seven' difference? otherwise it should be obvious. other than that, that was the best so far imo.

Incest stuff in anime is not new. However, in this case, I don't like Yuka.
Heh? So this director actually has some feelings... he let Nana-chan escape. But from the looks of the preview, she goes berserk. What a pity.
Lucy's a better character than I had thought. Up until now, I thought she was psychotic killer, with no human emotions in her. This episode changed my perception of her alot.
My perception on Nyu's still the same. A cute and naive person. ^^
After having watched episode 1, is hard to imagine that this anime would had turned into a nice romance story. I love plot-twists!

You people need to stfu about the incest, in most countries relationships between cousins are not considered as incest. It didn't even cross my mind until you started yelling "OMG INCEST INCEST"...

I'm glad Nana's alive her relationship with her 'papa' is weird nice to see the human sides of the director and of Lucy and of the usually evil asassin guy.

Overall good epispode.

Nana being alive definitely changed my views of this show. Her death was just so brutal and harsh that it wasn't fair for her to die. Lucy scares the shit out of me. It's like at any moment she could go psyco freak killing Kouta and Yuka in the blink of an eye. It was nice to see Lucy cry though. Makes her more of a human instead of a heartless killer.

Good stuff how Mayu pulls Bandou's "get out of jail free" card on Bandou himself after he starts roughing her up.

Also, don't you just love the whole inter-family sexual relationship that's starting to take place between Yuka and Kouta?

Kouta and Yuka are weird. Not because they're cousins. But they're just so boring, and Yuka is so annoying. Their ~romance~ is so cliche.

The badass guy is still a magnificent ass. I hope he doesn't kill Nana after she just got a second chance.

I hope Bando stays dead this time. If Nana has bullet stopping power Bandos screwed.. even if she doesnt want to kill, can easily disable him like Lucy did lol.

Im finding it hard to marathon this show lol, feel like i need a break after almost every episode, gonna push to finish it though.

It's like the makers try to put every single sexual sin in this story from pedophilia to incest to what's next. It's like they have a bet going on; to make every episode more shocking.

Though obviously some of it does make the story stronger, they could have left a bigger part of all the nudity... (or is that just because I'm a non lesbian girl?) But I mean Kouta squeesing Nyu's boob...? COME ON! What does that add?
And though a cousin relasionship may not be fround upon in some countries, the writers must have known it's not considered to be normal in most countries? Ah well that's just the story, so it'll be forgiven.

As far as the violence goes, thank youknowwho it's not as bad as I imagined. Did people actually throw up because of it? ...Or should I finish the serie before wondering over that? 0:) Well the violence definetly supports the story and I think it's very well done. ...And adding more details would probably have minored the viewer rate. ^^ (Though most people do have the sick habit to watch the things that one shouldn't watch - including me).

My god Yuki is annoying. And honestly I don't like Kouta that much either. Lucy/Nyu, and most of the others, do a great job making up for them. But it's really the "mystery" that makes me continue watching it (and a little because it's a much heard of anime (Yeah I'm still a noob at this)). ....Though I do think that I already can gues most, if not all, of it.

Well I think I like it so far.

First off, everybody's complaining how Kouta's and Yuka's romance is cliche and all that which it is, but if you don't like it then don't complain. After what I would guess to be hundreds of romance scenarios, it's a lil hard to keep the creative juices flowing. If you don't like it make your own romance scenario.

Second, wow really? Just because it's an incestual relationship everybody gets all "Ewwy" and "Bleh!" Incest happens all the time and all over the world. Just because it's not your definition of normal gives you no right to criticize it.

Well whatever, my point is grow up and stop being narrow-minded.

Anyways, Lucy is actually emotional this episode. I was expecting her to kill Yuka in a jealous rampage, but oh wells.

I see they have a thing with the name Yuka... they name like that all the most hated characters. This Yuka is no exception.
I want to thank my friend Niki for watching this together with me, laughing and discussing how silly it is, otherwise i couldn't have watched the "famous" Elfen Lied after episode 2...

As much as I hate incest in other animes I've seen (Angel Sanctuary, Akane iro ni somaro saka, ...) Elfen Lied is the first time that I feel it actually works (it does't even feel like incest to me!). This anime has so far been the most visually and emotionally touching anime I've ever seen. The Kouta-Yuka relationship is a part of the emotional drama in the series. I hope everyone will get over their 'ewww!!!' attitude towards the incest - it's one of the ways the creator connects more of our emotion to the main characters. Remember Elfen Lied is meant to have a strong emotional theme and not just be a mindless gore & boobfest.

What's happening to Kouta is so simple. The reason why he can't remember anything is Lucy. Mind you I have not seen past the fifth episode, I predict that Lucy killed Kouta's father and sister and started to attack Kouta. He stood up for the people which Lucy has never seen before and fell in love with him. The shock still sent Kouta into memory loss which is why he can't remember anything and is the reason why he keeps getting visions of the past when he sees what Lucy did.

I don't like the incest here just because of how unnecessary it is to the story for them to be related in the first place.
I mean, you never see any of their parents, so why not just have them be childhood friends or something?
It might also be in part because I just really don't like Yuka.

As for the dog, I think it's meant to be assumed that it ran away from it's bitch of an owner.
