----------------------------------------
Finally we learn some specifics on the immortality potion. Another fantastic ep. So there's basically two generations of immortals floating around, the olde timey ones from this ep and the new generation, which is most of the people on the train. Can't wait for next ep, Issac and Miria all over the place.

Really interesting to see some background info on the immortals. Good episode. I especially loved the scene where Szilard was crawling towards the one that got on deck first.

Thats right, finally we get to see some background on what the immortals are like from the past and how they became one, but too bad no MiriaxIsaac this ep, but next will be awesome with them back in action.

Yeah, things are beginning to make sense now. Really interesting episode. I'd like to know more about this "demon". And I also missed Issac and Miria in this episode but seems they'll be back full strength on the next :) looking forward to it.

I was wondering, anyone has any idea why Elmer was so focused on "saving" Szilard?

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...

Ditto. this show finally makes sense to me. Now I want to see how each faction is somehow related to one another.

Glad to have a bit of backstory, how certain characters came to be. Not as wildly entertaining as previous episodes, but still good (and necessary). Such a great cast!

...Except Elmer. He seriously got on my nerves.

Bleach would be so awesome with Russo. He could defeat Ichigo in a snap.

Now everything's clicking into place. ^_^ I'm a bit interested in the 'demon' as well, and curious if he's going to play a part in latter episodes.^^

Can't wait to see Isaac and Miria 'spread happiness'. ^_^

This show is fantastic. This ep was incredible, but I wonder how Firo and the others gained immortality.

This is actually one of my favorite episodes, although the lack of Firo, Issac and Miria was distressing. I don't know. This episode cleared so many things up and made so much sense that I'm waiting for the next episode to make no sense at all just to throw me for a loop all over again. We'll see.

Poor Gerd. Poor Sylvie. ;;

I think this was my favorite episode yet. Love how it played out. Elmer, his wish. Fermet and what his connection was to Czes I'm really dieing to know more about.

Szilard seriously freaked me the fuck out when he ate that guy on deck. It was like fatal frame 3 all over again, omfg.

Nice nice nice. So that's what happened 300 years ago. We finally get to see some information about the immortals and the immortality elixir. I wonder who was the one who gave the elixir to the alchemist.

It's not suprising to see Slivard being the bad guy because everyone went against him so he felt a little sad inside, lol. Now I know how alchemist kill immortals, by using their right hand. So Sylvia didn't drink the elixir. I would assume she's dead now, right? or she might drank it later on.

The ending also made me surprised. I know that one guy was Maiza, but who was the other one? Was that Lucky? If so, then does that mean that he was the demon 300 years ago? The voices were very suprisingly similar so I was shocked, lol.

I'm guessing she drank it, because she was shown singing in the future.

Nah, it wasn't Luck; He looked different and had another voice. It was definitely the demon though, same voice and he used the same expression, "Maa, ii. (But all right)".

Great episode! It cleared a lot of things up. Now we know how the immortals started and why there was someone developing the elixir later on (because Szilard only has half of the knowledge about how to make it). Now I want to know how the other characters got immortal and if they have the "complete product" or if they still age.

Huey seemed a great character to me... But that Elmer guy was just annoying. Still, I wonder what his wish was. Besides, it seems like the demon is playing some kind of game. Using humans' greedy and competitive nature along with the fear of death to amuse himself by throwing in something so valuable to them - an eternal youth elixir - and just adding a set of fitting rules.
