THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Lesson number one - don't go asking for trouble in an information shop.


Lesson number two - don't underestimate "kids" with hats.


Lesson number three - try not to hijack a railway car if it's already being hijacked, specially if you only have a knife :P


Anyway, nice ep. Yet another very interesting character - Ladd Russo. Can't wait to see more of him in the next ep. We get to see the scientist who developed the "elixir of immortality". If he only saved 2 bottles I wonder why are there so many immortal people, and what event made them be so.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. Where do I start with this ep? This was the best ep yet and that's saying somethnig with how great the last one was. The writers have their heads on their shoulders, because tyhis series knows exactly where it wants to go. Every frame is used perfectly it seems. It's noly the third eps, but alot of loose ends have already been tied together. There were just so many awsome moments; Firo's fight, Issac and Miria again, 3 way hold up, Ladd Russo's still crazy.

One of the biggest things to look out for is how the three different years are linked, more specifically 1931 and 1932. I was hooked on the first ep and now I can't wait for next one, staring my favorite charecter so far, "Ladd Russo talks alot and kills alot".

Why Ladd Russo is so crazy.

Always bring a knife to a gun fight. Just remember to make a quick exit afterwards.

That newspaper staff leader reminds me of Joker from R.O.D for some unknown reason.

That was a great episode, Kay has already summed up my highlights. The Daily Days (what a name) bit was great, and Firo's fight looked cool. Also had a good laugh when everyone started storming into the Dining Car. Can't wait for more.

This was a great episode and I really can't wait for the next (Ladd has to kill or he will go boom). I like how they name the episodes. It's kind of like how they do it with Gintama except they make more sense.

On agreement with everyone here. Awesome episode. Everyone's story is so interesting. I love the pacing of the episodes, it's fast yet it doesn't make it confusing. I just love how they swtich between the years. I can't wait for the next epsiode.

Very interesting series so far and the slew of awesome characters is just overwhelming at the moment. This is probably the only anime I've given a 9 to after only 3 episodes, but it is definitely deserved I think.

On another note, I usually dislike over the top goofy ass characters, but Isaac and Miria are just hilarious.

I just gave Baccano a 9 just right now! This episode was even better than the last one, and that's saying something. If they can keep this pace up, Baccano might replace Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei as my fav summer anime.

I want to see Ladd Russo go nuts. Hopefully Lua can stay alive though. I still find it strange that someone shares the same last name as me in an anime.

Another great episode. I can't stop watching it!

My favorite part was with the guns and the one guy with the knife.

Again, even though Miria and Isaac were in the episode for a short time, they still pulled out a joke towards the end.

Lol what the fuck? What an intense episode. So, the way they tell the story sure was unique. It was like they tell you the story in different time periods like the first time it was 1932 and then and it came back to 1930, and then 1931. That information shop sure is one heck of a shop. Everyone has a gun, rofl.

Okay so what the fuck? Immortality drinks? Never heard about that before. That old man sure succeeded into making an immortality drink. I thought at first that he was dead for sure, but then he ressurrected by himself. Also, that red-haired girl pretty much knows the immortality drinks too.

Firo sure was a bad ass in this episode but the guy that he beat up got the potions. I wonder what's going to happen. Also in the train, I loved it when the cousin of that girl with a scar in the face came in at the same time the "ghosts" were taking everyone as a hostage, lmfao. Also, Miria and Isaac! <3

Okay now we're cooking with gas. I'm hooked :) . Firo rocks!

So currently my take on this: something terrible happens on this train yet we back track a few times to introduce all the characters on the train before we find out how things turn out after the events on the train. Cool idea.
Such junk...

The mice is immortal, too. I wonder what happened to it after the fire.

Then, i thought the old man alchemist died.

It was great^^ The story is starting to make more sense each episode. I'm just wondering: With only 2 bottles, how did all those people become immortal?

Firo's fight was amazing. Specially because he never let go of the hat. The last part with the triple train hijack was also hilarious as no one would know what to do with so many orders given at the same time. Isaac and Miria got it right though xD And the guy with the knife: "Sorry for disturbing you..." - amazing xD

Anyway, I'm not really sure what happened in the rear of the train. I mean, one of the guys supposedly shot the other since he was one of the "Lemures" but when Jaccuzi got there I couldn't tell if there was one or two bodies. If they were both dead, maybe the "Rail Tracer" story is actually true. Also, since that scene with the policeman looking at that body and stating that the passengers of the Flying Pussyfoot were dropped dead along the rail line, it probably is.
