    Yep it was a great episode. A lot of things get revealed. But damnit, only 3 more episodes... that sucks. Here's hoping for an extension or for another season. So many great characters and few episodes to get to know them.

    yea... this show has a lot of ways it could go for a season two.

    but, amazingly enough, they can end a story with so many characters in only 13 eps explaining everything!

    Yeah. It seems more and more, unsurprisingly, that the story is winding around the train incident, so in that sense it could very well end within the 13 episodes unhurriedly. Not that I'd wish for such a thing, but it's reasonable.

    The fact that this series is only 13 episodes just breaks my heart.

    I honestly think this is a work of pure genius, and many will agree with me soon enough.

    man, only 3 more episodes? that makes me a sad panda...

    but seriously, this episode was awesome. Although I can't seem to remember where exactly Vino / Claire came from... They could so do at least another season... maybe more around the boat voyage and the 200 years in between?

    It feels like a perfect length to me. Keeps the storyline fresh and the vignette format can get a little confusing the longer it goes on.

    I really don't think there's any fear of this series not being confusing, short or long...

    Nevertheless, Isaac and Miria are in a pinch!

    wow, this episode was so freaking awesome.

    The conversation between Ladd and Csez was something wicked. Csez, as wicked and evil as he is, simply fears the true immortal (the Shadow) and those who he might ally with. He's still weak physically, and knows he's naturally at a disadvantage going up against almost every other Immortal... A kid still, but really fucked up...

    Also, Huey is the man. That scene with him and Chane was something else. I suppose that ability has something to do with the "gift" he recieved from the Entity at the end of the 1700 boat voyage.

    I've already said how the strange cohesion of brutal gore (kid getting shotgunned in the face!, all the blood) and the cutesy, whimsical foppery (the guy faking getting tied up, Nice and Jacuzzi's first kiss) make this show something special. But the other thing that gets to me is the sheer vast amount of unaccounted for time, unaccounted for events, between things. I mean, you could fill a dozen series just connecting the dots between the boat voyage where Maiza summoned the Entity and the 1900s crime family drama. Some characters haven't even had their origins explained, and the ones who have origins have huge missing gaps that could be a twelve episode series unto itself for each of them!

    In short, I WANT MOAR!!!

    Finally, did anyone else think it was weird when Eve Genoard was running away from the Runorata family, and the black guy working for the newspaper pulled her into the car? I mean, they both disappered offscreen for almost a full minute, and when they got back up in frame it was like a football player's prom night had just went down... I thought that was really strange...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    If I didn't know any better I could almost believe people paid no heed to the release of the 11th episode. But of course such a thing would be impossible.

    PAIN, Pain, pain?!?!? Well being immortal mean you have to have no fear to pain but to what degree? Oh and don't touch ground with your hand when you are on a moving train (I LOVED that moment!).

    After episode 12 I can only nominate Vino for the biggest douchebag in history award. Seriously, I've not hated a character so strongly in ages. The dude is just a prick beyond the act of prickery. I can't even find a word to accurately describe how fucking vile that guy is. Imagine the worst douchebag protagonist out there ( Kira from Gundam fame comes to mind ) then strip him of all conventional ethics and morals and add a God complex. Needless to say, this guy is nasty... yet I can't help but watch with a giggle.

    Major props to Ryohgo Narita for creating such a deplorable motherfucker. The Fermet scene was made out of pure awesome too. So twisted yet so beautiful.

    Considering she only lives because Szilard wills her to live I sincerely doubt she can revolt.

    ... And I hope she doesn't as it would just be so cliché.

    Argh. It's over. Much too soon.

    Episode 13 Final - Ayu




    - - - - - -





    Edit: The ingredients of this show were very simple: 100% win.

    I have to say, though, that it probably would take another view to really connect every detail, but even so after this last episode it doesn't feel so confused at all anymore. In the end there weren't that many separate timelines and you more or less got to know the people present in all or just some of them.

    A very nice and happy ending. It suits this show well. Also having Isaac and Miria in the very last scene and as witless as ever was a fine closure indeed.
