abstract
| - This transcript will be of the English language dub for the anime, with the subtitles in English as well. "Stage directions" will be noted in brackets. Subtitle dialogue, where it differs from the English dub text, will be marked off by parentheses next to the English version. The absence of a subbed dialogue marker simply means that the dialogue is the same in both versions. Translation and transliteration issues will be discussed in the section after the transcript is done. To clear up confusion, the DVD edition of Elfen Lied recently released by ADV's subsidiaries will be used, so the subtitles listed are the official ADV translation. Please keep this in mind regarding any translations, as both the dub dialogue and English subtitles will be written as they are spoken/written on screen. In ADV's translations, some characters names are romanized as Nyu, Kohta, Bandoh, etc. These transcripts (in the form of the spoken English language dub dialogue) originated from: and the debt to that site is freely and gratefully acknowledged. As each transcript is finalized, it will be resubmitted to the original site in its completed form. NOTE: From this transcript onward, character names will not be linked back to the character's specific article unless the character has not been introduced before the episode or was only introduced briefly at the end of the episode prior.
