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! ^_^

I wonder who is the demon who granted them immortality and if he's available to grant it to me too.
Szilard was right to be angry, but he shouldn't go around eating others.

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.

Ikr this episode was confusing. So they are already immortal then wth are they doing in the present timeline? Did their immortality expire or wut. Hope that gets explained soon.

An entire episode dedicated to the immortality potion and a few characters origins like Szilard. Pretty good episode.

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.

ohhh this episode is quite different! we learn that maiza, czeslaw (i think thats the kid's name) and some other characters are immortals that have been alive for a few centuries. that's really cool! i can't wait to learn how ennis was created since they are a homunculus.
the alchemy in the baccano universe is very interesting and different than what i'm used to. but it is extremely interesting nonetheless!

Best episode so far! Now we have some ideas!

I think Sylvie drank the potion in order to one day eat Szilard. It's the only way to kill him after all.

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

Dang they just became immortal and learned about their one out, yet so quickly did things get violent. That's greed for you I suppose. How far that guy came from being an alchemist aboard a ship to an American mobster.
