Ahahah Isaac and Miria are hillarious XD

Story is still a bit confusing, because there's a lot or characters and all that, but I guess that's the way it's intended to be XD.
Looking forward to the next episode, that ghost "army" thing looks interesting.

Hmm. Isaac and Miria are funny, but the confusing story of this anime is really turning me off Dx idk if I should keep trying and wait it out to see if this pieces together slowly or drop it and find something else more entertaining :/

The storytelling really is similar to Durarara!. Watching it subbed, but I feel like Miria and Isaac's voices match their characters well. I tried comparing it to the dubbed, but I might be one of the few who like the original more than dubbed.

Really loved this episode, easy enough to follow, I m guessing this train ride will be a huge part of the season, and I can already see some forehadowing here and there, also really interesting and diverse casting!

I can't stand Miria's voice, she's so freaking annoying.


it's way too high pitched for me, like nails to a chalkboard.

Completly fine for me, they are a dumb but enjoyable to watch couple.
Question is, are they also immortals?

This episode was like a roller coaster, there were scenes which I desperately wanted to end because they were really quite annoying, while in others the suspense and darkness were so good that I didn't want them to end.

A bit unpopular opinion... I find Isaac and Miria not funny, as I said before, there were times when I just wanted to sleep and the scenes of this pair were some of them.

The previous chapter wasn't that great and I was expecting the first half of this one to be a lot better, but it wasn't. The first half was very upsetting for me. It's supposed to be comedy and I know where the joke is supposed to be but it just doesn't make me laugh. It's not funny.

I was grateful enough not to wear headphones to not hear Miria's irritating, high-pitched voice, in more detail. As for Isaac, I'm neutral with him, but it's a definite yes that he's my favorite of this duo.

When Miria was reading the letter I was listening to angels since that 'funny' scene was finally over and I managed to see a bit of seriousness. I am patiently waiting to see both of them in action instead of seeing more scenes as this one.

Do I have something against comedy? No, if it is well used.

The only thing I can save from this is the fact that they seem pretty healthy despite mining for what seems like ... a year? Immortals.

Well, I already wrote a lot of paragraphs where I only dedicated myself to throwing sh*t at that nefarious comedy, so let’s just go to the other half of this episode that was for sure better.

A roller coaster ... when the characters were already on the train everything started to improve a lot (although even on the train Isaac and Miria were still annoying, I should stop hating them, but I can’t).

Although the mixed scenes where the train conductor told his partner that 'horror' story that the circus duo told Jacuzzi at the same time were not to my liking either, they managed to cause me a bit of expectation and curiosity.

The music went faster and faster the more Jacuzzi ran and it was what I liked the most about this episode, the intrigue, the fear. The question that all this generates ... What will happen?

The ending makes you believe that you will reach the climax of that moment but in reality it will only continue in the next episode. I have this hope that everything is going to get better but at the same time I can feel that I will be disappointed.

In few words: I have mixed feelings with this episode, I hated it at times but for others I liked it (but not love it). Even though I have a hard time for minutes it is an ok since that ending saved everything. And I'll definitely see what's next, miraculously, after the mess in the first chapter and the 'comedy' of this one, I'm still curious.

Definitely very interested in the plot now. I take about one hour to watch each episode because I have to constantly pause and think (And because I am having trouble understanding the accent of some characters in the English dub). But it is worth it.

Isaac and Miria were awesome in this episode, just one of the most enjoyable and entertaining duos I've seen in anime. Top tier couple there. And Nice was dope as hell too. This was definitely a lot better of an episode as the show now enters more into the story regarding what happened in the past as everyone gets onboard The Flying Pussyfoot (best name for anything ever).

Much better than the chaotic first episode. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent are a bit annoying at first but I could like them later...I just need more time! Jacuzzi is annoying but I can ignore that with more interesting characters like Ladd Russo.

Seems like the story is focused on the train for now. I love the eccentric duo, they're kinda funny. The scaredy-cat Jaccuzi seems nice, a bit of a pussy but still a nice guy ig. It's time for a train massacre..

absolutely loving Isaac and Miria, really entertaining characters but everyone else seems cool too.
I'm still kinda confused but eh way better than last episode. and, oh god, just realised the ED is awesome.
I might just check out the dub for this, considering its set in the US.

Damn Isaac and Miria are so gung ho about everything. That gold digging scene was funny XD

So I guess this episode is set before the "disappearance" of the train and the one's behind this incident are the henchmen of Sir Huey, an Immortal. And most of the people aboard the Flying Pussyfoot are going to die but some people will survive and become an Immortal. I wanna know what's up with that black-haired kid.

Another crazy episode following on from the last one. Isaac and Miria were hilarious throughout the episode, with their overly condifent, energetic and excited personalities making for a joy to watch. The story of the Rail Tracer, despite initially sounding like a simple ghost story, clearly must have some truth hidden in it as both the conductor and gang in the train prepare to offer up the passengers as sacrifices for some grander, as of yet unknown purposes.

I'll never get over the train's name, whenever it's mentioned, I burst out laughing.

So, all of the characters from the first episode are on the same train. It's the beginning of the end.

I adore Isaac and Miria, they're a hilarious couple.

Ladd Russo is a very attractive guy. The poor driver just wanted to retire, and it appears Ladd stole his outfit to infiltrate the train’s cabin.

The plot continues to confuse me, but I'm getting there. I'm seeing a lot of familiar characters from the first episode, which is quite helpful. The immortals play a critical role in this story.

last episode was more so focused on the mafia, now we learn more about the train. i still can't with the train being called the flying pussyfoot, i mean come on.
more characters are being connected to each other which is pretty awesome. there's still some questions left which i can't wait to learn. i wonder what ladd's deal is. dude is crazy here and in the last episode.
i really like nice and jacuzzi here so far! their names are goofy as hell but they're really interesting characters.

Ah, so it was only that first episode that a whole bunch of plot lines jumbled up, and clears up considerably (definitely not completely tho lol) already by this second episode. Still isn't totally clear what's going on; but again, it's only the second episode.

Usually, stupid characters tend to be boring but Isaac and Mira were amusing. I like their chemistry.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!
