Stop making me feel bad about Higurashi B8 :((
Elfen Leid Episode 6
Quick aside: the title theme for this anime is really ****ing good.
So much juicy stuff going on in this episode! Finally get some backstory on the Director. I'm gleaning from what little info we got that his child was born with characteristics of the Lucy species, yeah? Would explain why he killed his daughter.
The sexual tension between the two cousins finally reaches a conclusion, so I guess they're a thing now. Lucy doesn't like this, and almost pushes the protagonist into non-oblivious mode, but alas, it's fleeting. Apparently she knew the cousins as kids, though. Intrigue! And me oh my, does it warm my heart to see that Seven made it through alright.
Notable lack of violence, especially by this show's standards, but this was by far the best episode yet.
10/10
