The revelation. The knowledge was shared and Szilard already absorbed the first half. Interesting!


and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'|

things are getting more interesting and at least a episode that wasn't as confusing as the others where.

is this so called demon maybe the rail tracer it sure seemed that way.

for a moment the demon reminded me of Allucard from hellsing and hellsing ultimate cause he was immortal to and the way they both act are almost the same also they both can transform them selves in other things.

i sure wonder why the demon was saying he and this dude on the ship ( don't know his name i find it hard to remember names in this show ) will be together for a some time and why they both observing must be something more interesting coming.

that demons voice reminds me of another anime character from a different anime but i don't know who but it sure sounds familiar and it has to be something i have seen it recently i think. i was thinking it might have been from Jigoku Shoujo but not sure anymore.

well up to the next episode i would say but got to go work again sigh.

So I'm guessing Szilard is hunting down all the semi-immortals & specifically wants Maiza to learn how to make the immortality elixir.

I wonder how the semi-immortals came to be though?

It's amazing how one immortality potion can break up a group of people completely, to the point where they are killing each other for just knowledge.
Honestly can't say I'm surprised,people will do anything for their own selfish desires.

Technically Szilard was the only one to go completely nuts. (the Quates family had a long history of plumbing the depths of Alchemical mystery (by any means necessary), except for the rumored secret of immortality which none of them had been able to discover and he wanted it's secrets. He also couldn't tolerate that some young street thug was the only one was the only one who knew it's secrets).

Out of the 1700's immortals, he is the only one to actually devour another immortal, aside from Czes who only did so once in self-defense.

Finally we get to see some info on the "making" of the immortality potion. owo

So, it turns out....that one old guy who sucked up most of the people on the ship is like....the main bad guy? I guess? x3

Anyways, still a good episode. :3

Well that explained everything about being immortal and their backstory, but what about the main character from the previous episodes.

I think I understand the series now when it comes to this backstory episode and those train arc scenes. Still there are lots of characters in here that I might forget, probably my main issue in the series

Summoning the devil is stupid and bad nothing will come out of it...oh I'm immortal...ooh this is good! Now I want to know how to make the panacea...no? Ok I'll kill everyone.

If Szilard isn't devoured in the end, I'm going to be mad.

Finally we get the information how it all has begun. It's hard to order every character right but man such a nice story. Szilard so greedy he wants everything (true nature of most humans).

Seems next episode we get back to the train.

So...many...characters...

With the ones on that ship, i swear, there's over 100 characters now. The only main ones on that ship though would be Maiza, Szilard and I think i spotted Chezlaw too. Whether characters like Huey or Sylvie appear again, that's another side-story altogether...


I think Huey was mentioned before. He's the one that's in jail, right? The black clothed musician ppl are trying to get him release. I think...might have gotten the names confused. :)

Loved this episode. I think that the kid was Czes. Also, I wonder if Sylvie is going to come back into the story. And next episode seems to have a lot of Isaac and Miria! ^_^

DAMN, that was an Awesome episode.

Such a great backstory to the immortality potion, as well as introducing some of the current characters. That blonde guy (the one who fell of the ship) and Sylvia are very intriguing; wonder if they lived up until 1930/1931 (the current time of the main plot).

Also, now im curious to know about that guy Huey in the 1930/1931 year, because the guys in the black suits have been talking about him.

Really looking forward to the next episode *.*

Ok, so these guys are the original people who made a deal with a demon to gain immortality. That's clear enough. What I don't really get is why they started killing each other. Some of them wanted to share immortality with the world and others didn't or something? And one of them wants to keep the secret of how to make the elixir to himself because it's dangerous? I'm not clear on the politics involved here.

Well that's how everyone became immortal, thanks to a certain devil. Svezil or whatever his name was, wanted the information about the elixer.. which he didn't get cause it would be better if only one person had the information about it.
That led him to devouring some of them.. rip

Man I love Miria's sugggooii!!! scream xD

So back in 1711 Maiza summons a demon to obtain the Cure-all-elixir which makes you immortal. Everyone except Sylvie drinks it, and it's a good thing that she did, because otherwise she would've been "devoured" by Slizard. Wonder what Elmer wished for whilst drowning.
