What a pleasure to see the expression on Ladd's face when Czeslaw suggested that he kill all the people in the dining car! ("WTF is this coming from a kid?")
So now we know who the Rail Tracer is...a lot of blood in this episode but I still liked it anyway.

What the fuck? I am kinda confused but at the same time starting to know more and more informations about the events that are happening. This episode has a lot of blood. I just can't wait for the next episode. Also, wtf is with that kid telling Ladd to kill the people on the train?! Damn, didn't think he's also bad.

Okay so the Rail Tracer is Vino all along. It was the conductor of the train. You just have to love his skills. The funny thing was when he told the free lancer girl "Where's your ticket please." in the bottom of the train, lmfao. Also, when the free lancer girl was telling that information to the daily days boss and the other guy started laughing really made me crack up, lol.

Okay so I can't wait to see Ladd and Vino fight. Wonder who's going to win. Also, Dallas and the gang seems to be immortal now. Damn they're all showing all the hot things. I don't know what will happen, aah.

Yay some answers! Though, at the same time episode 9 felt pretty far away from episode 8. I had to double check I didn't skip an episode.

Veno....might just be my new favorite assassin.

It doesn't matter how crazy you are about killing, you get surprised when a 10 year old boy asks you for a massacre. I guess... I'm obviously not talking from experience. xD

"Ticket, please." - Amazing. I just loved it. Claire/Vino is awesome. I wonder who he was referring to when he said he was looking for someone with whom there was a possibility for him to get married.

So, lots of gore but the story also moves on. The pacing of this anime is excellent.

Brilliant!! XD Gore at its finest! I had to cringe in spite of myself when he placed the guy's hand and face on the rail tracks! First time I saw torture like that! O.O

All in all, great ep! Right amount of action and suspense! And a lot of blood spattering! Awesome! hahaha! Ladd is the best sadist I have ever known! And Vino hands down being the killer machine! Gosh!

OMG I LOVE LADD RUSSO.

Great ep...and I'm glad Claire/Vino/RT wasn't killed off in the beginning like we were led to believe. He seemed too sweet to die, but being an insane killer is even better. X)


This, pretty much... though I think I like Claire/Vino more than Ladd, if anything else because of that twist I was falsely led into in the beginning and asking Rachel for her ticket underneath of the train. But I seriously lol'd when Ladd was jumping up and down in the blood like a happy, excited child splashing in rain puddles.

I'm really falling in love with everybody here... and while I wince ever so slightly at the more gory scenes, OH HOW I LOVE THEM SO. <3 Huzzah, blood bath!!

Ladd dancing over Dune's bloody body is just awesome.

Can't wait to see Czeslaw's role in the plot.

So, maybe Czeslaw wanted Ladd to kill everyone in the dining car so he could find out who was immortal afterwards. Is Czeslaw from the 1700s too? and is Ladd immortal? Im still curious as to how some of the others became immortal...
I'm so glad we finally find out Vino was the Rail Tracer, and that it wasn't a random monster, because that wouldnt fit very well. Off to the next episode

THIS. I wanna know more about about how all these people became immortal...

RAIL TRACER was WIN. I <3 claire/vino/rail tracer. badass. I like how he thinks he's doing everything out of justice, and how he really was sad when found out the old conductor was ambushed and killed...

twisted & awesome. great episode.

Thus far all of the people Rail Tracer has killed have deserved it in one way or another. It's possible the high body count can be generated from just the Lemures and Ladd's gang.

I cringed so hard during the torture.. (I don't mind gore, but when it's so evil-like it just kinda traumatizes me)

But this episode was awesome. A lot of clearing up on Dallas and the Gandor Family and Vino..

I was asking myself, 'If the first 2 discs of the Baccano box set are rated 15, why is the 3rd one 18?" Now I know! Deliciously gory episode.

Each step further in history, brings new mysteries in the plot. Finally come to the surface as the various characters glimpsed in the previous installments. Beautiful, intriguing and well crafted this episode, I am very involved with this anime. Vote more than fair!
