God that show was such a 10 until the gay flashback arcs.

The flashbacks were alright
It's the gay Nyuu and moeshit scenes that made me question my sanity
Seriously the first scene where Lucy murdered her way out of the facility got me hooked but then it was just gay slice of life faggotry with occasional action scenes

Lucy is awesome, but Nana is Best Girl. We must protect her and feed her ice-cream.

The funny thing is, in the anime, even the way they played Bando as totally evil, I always had a soft spot for him. Then I checked the manga, and indeed, he finally turns out to be Best Guy, even though it's only in his final seconds :(

>gets tortured with no end in a facility with barely any human contact ever since her birth
>still helps them without a question
Nana's a retard. She can't even cook or clean
She's useless

The Nyuu stuff made the violence better imo. It makes sense that the next stage of evolution would be simultaneously more childish and more violent at the same time. Casting her violent tendencies as the result of trauma instead of biological imperative made the show lame.

He really needed more screen time in the anime
For a guy who was an unlikable killing machine he really started to become a good guy in the end
I haven't read the manga yet, but since it the anime ended in a cliffhanger I will definitely read the last few chapters

Nyu is OK in herself. The problem is that Kouta is so lame and gay that he ruins anything he goes near, which includes all the stuff in the house, as well as half the flashbacks.
Also the coincidence of Lucy washing up on the beach and being discovered by K. was lame plot construction.

She's a sweetheart. But you can't have her. She's mine.

You know how it is
Every anime needs a blank male protag so the kids watching it can relate to him

I don't care. Enjoy your glorified paperweight
Ever since the first scene I was only interested in Lucy

kinda mad this mangaka only does ecchi shit now.

I found elfenlied and bryhildr to be pretty entertaining

The fact that he's the one normal guy that actually puts up a decent fight against the Diclonius is endearing. The fact that he deliberately seeks Lucy out again after losing to her once is badass. Overall, an asshole, but one you like to see on screen I'd say.

All mangakas grow out of their edgy phases sadly

Yes you're right about seeking out Lucy. His main virtue is courage, and that makes up for a lot of sins. Well, "makes up for" might be putting it a bit strongly, but it makes it easier to sympathize with him.

That's Zerotwo, right?

I'd tell them BOTH to strip and bend over!

Humanity really does need to be eliminated...

I wonder if there's anyone who finds Mariko attractive.
Pro tip: if you do, it's time to open the bottles under your sink and drink the contents.

Why man? She's the BOMB

Thats also the entire manga in a nutshell
>Tons of gore
>No, wait, lets have a SOL chapter
>And then a drama chapter
>Eventually:
>Lucy is destined for great things
>Random dies instead of replacing Homo Sapiens with Homo Diconus

She is double retard.
Basically she thinks that being a Moeblob is superior, which creates her infant stupid personality.
So she can have sex with the MC, which she never ends up doing anyhow.
And yet she dies a virgin. WTF
