| Do they really need all those weird time change to make the show? The story itself is interesting but all those time changes are confusing and complicated for absolutely nothing. This is one big flaw for this serie :/ |
 |
| HUEY <3 ELMER <3 SYLVIE <3 I'm sorry Maiza. Even though this episode was focused on you and you only, I just couldn't stop myself from seeing those hotties <3 |
 |
| So this ep answered my questions about the immortality thing and explained why Maiza's bloodstain in his hand suddenly disappeared after being cut by Firo during their knife fight. Szilard ate Gerd, means that half of the knowledge of the elixir is in him. So all he need to do is to eat Maiza. I'm still confused as to Elmer's actions. I wonder what was his wish. Great ep, once again. |

| Man, that scene where Szilard's head was cut off. I loved it. I hate Szilard. |

| It's interesting how the middle episode in the series is the one that ties in everything (well almost) taking into account this series is everything, but linear! Anyway, nice info about the past and origin of the immortals. Although I had some trouble identifying the characters in the present. |
 |
| good episode. probably one of my faves so far... it explains how the potion was made... damn demon! lol |
  |
| Best part was the deck crawling. That scene was was really cool. |
| Wow. They all used to be together on that ship. 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. |
TowardsTheStars said: Best part was the deck crawling. That scene was was really cool. What is your forum icon? I keep thinking 5 centimeters per second because of the background but I'm really curious.. |
| Nice episode and a what is so far been a very exciting and interesting show, becomes a lot clearer. |

| Finally some background |
| That was best episode yet, up until now series has only been vaguely interesting and i was majorly disappointed. See where it goes from here. |
| At last some explanations. 5/5 |
  |
| Is was nice to see how they got immortality. 4/5 |

BlueYoshi said: So...many...characters.... This is why I'm finding this anime so hard to follow at times... Fye_DX said: I liked the backstory and all, but I felt sommething was missing... Issac? Miria? Russo? I just can't figure out who... My feels exactly. |
 |
| Man oh man I'm loving this show. I love a show that asks tons of questions in the beginning, sets up the plot, and then reveals little by little each episode. It reminds me of the first time I watched through NGE, so many questions that I just had to keep watching to figure out what was going on! I'm really liking this though and man is Zilliard scary, talk about drunk with power. You had to figure somebody was going to go off the deep end with power after the demon explained everything. So now that the first generation of immortals has been discovered we'll soon find out how the rest of them got the power. Also, wonder how Maiza and co all lost their accents? |
| I hate that Szilard! But I really liked the episode. Some very interesting new fellas at that ship... |
| Woo, they finally cleared things up. I wonder about Isaac & Miria though.. |
| amazing episode :D definitely explained alot about the immortals. though isn't kinda random on how the shadow just appears out of nowhere and gave them immortality just like that O__O Gretto was absorbed by Szilard? fucking bastard, it's a good thing Sylvie didn't drink it at first. knew it was Maiza as soon as i saw those glasses of his :P i have a feeling Huey could be the devil since the devil wanted to spend time with him for a long time. but Luck really looks alot like Huey, could it be him? but Huey could be Firo as well O___O though Elmer was a fucking annoying shit in the past he seems to have made a deal with the devil when he fell in the water so it's a strong possibility that the devil is inside of him now. plus he sounded like the devil in his future self :P i hope someone kills that fucker Szilard. Gretto dying like that :( poor Sylvie :( so she became a singer in the future? hope we get run into her in the next episodes! though i thought she was Chane at first, guess the color of the hair and face is way different :P next episode is gonna be ace!!!! |
| 5/5 The narrative is taking on a human, and all qualify for them, starting with the sanity of those who benefit the vision! XD Last but not least also the understanding! LOL Plot with a good dose of topics greedy and involvement grows significantly, on my part. Unfortunately there are too many dark scenes and speech understanding will be a little difficult, but in earlier years there is some deep thinking mind! Beautiful design, good animations! Pleasantly pleased with the new characters! With so many delicious morsels, the vote can not be that the max! |
 |
| It's starting to get even harder to follow who is who, especially in the dub where there are no subtitles. |
| anyone else's brain hurting? can't keep up with this lol |
 |
| Nicely done backstory on Szilard and the elixir. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| The revelation. The knowledge was shared and Szilard already absorbed the first half. Interesting! |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv 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. |

| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| 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? fishergirl16 said: Honestly can't say I'm surprised,people will do anything for their own selfish desires.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. |
| Szilard went nuts huh,ok they have explained his past now for the others. |
  |
| Starting to make sense. |

| 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 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I'm still confused. |
 |
| 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 |
| This episode won me for the anime, it was of great quality and now the show seems a bit less random. Elmer's great. Reminded me of FMA so much *o* |
  |
| so supernatural totally seems to be a thing |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| 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. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Intersesting we learn the story behind those elixers and the secret behind immortality. Yep the moment they became immortal is also the moment where Szilard starts taking out their lifes yep i got two words for ya Szilard FUCK YOU. You made me pissed right now I hope you die you old bastard. |
| Darkness cannot drive out darkness; Only light can do that, Hate cannot drive out hate; Only love can do that. |
| And so we learn the origin of the situations. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Great episode, finally we got whole background. Now I only want to count the number of people living up to 1931 and see comparison of their looks :) I have the feeling I will have to rewatch at least first half of this series :D |
| Keeping track of all the characters is hard, but its still fun to watch. So immortality made that old man even more of a jackass. |
 |
| Interesting episode. Seeing how the elixers came to be, how quickly the group split up. |
