[ Episode 5: Jacuzzi Splot cries and is scared and shows reckless courage ] Jacuzzi, Nice, and the rest of their crew are SO AWESOME! I don’t know what their deal is but they can be a very scary bunch if they have to. It makes me wonder what Jacuzzi himself can do though since he [...]

[ Episode 4: Ladd Russo enjoys talking a lot and killing a lot ] Ladd is friggin crazy. The guy killed a man by literally punching his face in! This guy doesn’t even think twice about killing a person. He REALLY loves to kill people. He’s one of the more interesting characters in this show and [...]

[ Episode 3: Randy and Pezzo are busy with the preparations for the party ] This episode shifts betweent he years 1930, 1931, and 1932. Lua is either insane or the bravest woman I’ve ever seen. Not even Ladd can trump her in my opinion. Isaac and Miria continue to be two of my favorites. Honestly, they [...]

Synopsis: In 1711, Maiza and other alchemists summoned a demon, thus, obtaining immortality. In 1711, aboard the ship Advena Avis, a woman with glasses asks a man named Gerd if he is worried about his brother. Gerd says he is scared. He asks if alchemists are permitted to summon demons. He also asks if such things as immortality are necessary. The woman says she doesn't know the answers but if it will lead to them discovering the panacea then they'll have to deal with it. Gerd says he doesn't think immortality would be beautiful. He'd rather have a limited life spent together with the woman, Sylvie. The woman says even if she has to give up immortality, as long as she can be with Gerd, she won't be afraid. [ This is only an excerpt for the post!

Hmm, not as good as the previous episodes, but that’s probably because this episode spent most of its time building up for the finales of all the different storylines that have yet to be resolved, apart from Isaac and Miria’s role on the Flying Pussyfoot (after all, Isaac still has to be stabbed in the [...]

While waiting for Ghost Hound and Moyashimon, I’ve been watching Baccano! Four episodes in I’m beginning to get some idea of the story. The series could be first-rate, or it could be a massive trainwreck (in more than one sense). We’ll see. It’s set in Prohibition-era America. The characters cover a wide ethnic range — can [...]

Synopsis: Dallas asks the Gandors to help him exact his revenge on Firo but is denied, Eve is kidnapped by Gustavo, and Ennis finds Dallas. Nicholas and Elean, the guy who attended to Eve, are in the director's office. Word of how Nicholas appeased Gustavo by telling him of Dallas' sister has reached the director. He doesn't seem pleased. Nicholas explains that he was threatened and Gustavo Bagetta's power would be too much for him. Afraid that he'd be killed, Nicholas says he accidentally told Gustavo of Eve (It didn't look accidental to me though). Elean tells Nicholas that it's no reason to say things that would put Eve in danger. Nicholas says he understands that it's no excuse. He says he has taken the proper measures. The director tells him that even if he thinks his life may be in danger, he doesn't agree with the idea of using the little girl to get out of the situation. He says, like Elean, he can't sympathize with Nicholas. He then tells Nicholas to take... [ This is only an excerpt for the post! Go the the website for the full content + pictures + links. ]

Oh my god, this was such a fun episode! THIS is exactly the power of a good mystery-series: and this episode continues to deliver revelation after revelation and everything keeps coming more and more together! I kept wondering how Firo and Isaac would be linked together, and I can’t believe that we were already shown [...]
