Elfen Lied: Episode 2






Ok, so there was a lot less gore and guts in this one, but still enough to satisfy the common slasher fanatic. In this episode, Kouta finds the lost Lucy/Nyuu at the beach, apparently looking for a shell to replace the one she broke. He then finds Mr. Ima Asshole at the beach with a huge machine gun and an idiot partner. Kouta gets smashed in the face and they take Nyuu away from him.

Mr. Ima Asshole really showed his true assholeness in this episode. He starts beating up and innocent Nyuu, saying that he's waiting for the "fun part" but doesn't get it...Until Nyuu is hit in the head and Lucy comes out. Skipping forward a bit, Lucy kills the idiot parnter, and slowly rips off Mr. Ima Asshole's limbs (he got it comin'). It wasn't until she saw the shell that she was going to give Kouta that she turned  back to Nyuu. As she runs away, a young girl approaches him, ties up his arms, and calls an ambulance.

After being released from the hospital, Kouta finds Nyuu at the Inn, and the most hilarious scene goes down: Kouta is forced to dress Nyuu, head to toe with his eyes closed. His cousin then walks in on them in the most awkward manner.

So, it looks like Nyuu seems to have a split personality that comes out only when she's hit on the head or in danger. That'll add some fun to the anime! And I'm pretty statisfied with the asshole's fight scene. I'm positive that he won't be gone, but for now we'll just enjoy the sight of his limbless body. It's said that she's the only Diclonious who can reproduce, and that she's the "Eve of a new species." By that, it kind of sounds like they want her alive...I'm also curious to see how the next episode is going to begin, seeing as how it left off with Kouta taking off Nyuu's pants and Yuka walking in on them. Oh ya, and I think Yuka may have feelings for Kouta...even though they're cousins. I find that pretty weird, but who knows! It is Japan!
