I remember doing this exact same thing during the summer. Only exceptions are that I wasn't anywhere near as elaborate with my writeups and even though I have a limited experience with anime as well, I have seen more than you

Yeah, I guess the write-ups are a tad long. They help me remember the little subtleties, though.

Episode 11 Cont.

Back on top of the train, Vino talks to Chane. He asks her a question, but she doesn’t answer, because she’s kinda mute. Vino walks past Ladd and declares that he’ll stay out of their fight for now, and he’ll kill whoever wins. This pisses off Ladd, who attacks him, but Vino dodges with some ridiculous gymnastics flip. Vino starts to lean towards Chane’s side, since he overheard Ladd talking about how Chane was opposed to the hijacking in the first place. Everything about Vino infuriates Ladd. Vino claims that only the truly strong possess mercy and compassion (…), and Ladd throws a tantrum. An intense standoff between all three participants, but of course, we’re gonna have to wait to see what happens.

Firo mad. He wants to know why Ennis won’t let him go help out his friends. He pins Ennis against the wall and asks who she is. Before she can answer, he peers in through one of the bullet holes in the wall and sees Szilard and Maiza talking. He demands that Ennis tells him who the old man is, even though there isn’t really anything that implies that Ennis knows who Szilard is. Maybe she was just concerned for Firo’s safety? Well anyways, Szilard tells Maiza that all of this bloodshed could have been avoided had Maiza just shared his secret a long time ago.

Downstairs, (where everybody else is chillin’) the 3 Gandors tell the head Martello guy that they want to go investigate all of the commotion, because they suspect that it’s their fault. Meanwhile, Szilard is trying to absorb Maiza and stuff. They’re talking about Szilard’s motivations. Just outside, apparently Ennis spilled the beans about the immortality stuff to Firo, who actually believes her. He attempts to rush in, but Ennis tackles him again. Again, Firo manages to get the upper hand, so Ennis tells him that Szilard created her, and can even destroy her with a simple thought. She lives to serve him. This makes Firo mad. How can somebody be so selfish? Sometime during this exchange, Maiza and Szilard manage to make it to a warehouse. Szilard is actually giving Maiza a pretty thorough ass whooping, a result of the skills he obtained by absorbing people. He discovers the box that should have had the immortality potion in it, and is disappointed to find it empty. Maiza has no idea what’s going on.

Ennis compares herself to Szilard’s daughter, and Firo tells her that fathers don’t kill their daughters, which is a valid point. Firo’s anger isn’t directed at Ennis though, so he helps her up. Dallas and immortal friends are standing behind them, which confuses everybody. Back on the train, we’re back to the scene with Vino choking Cole. He kills him, but surprise, surprise, he’s not actually dead. Cole smiles and tells Vino that he’s immortal. Vino is intrigued, and comments that that means that he can torture Cole in any way he wants to. Cole isn’t afraid though. He goes on to describe all of the types of pains he’s experienced before. Red hot fire tongs placed in his eyes. A nice cool dip in an acid bath. Being tossed into a fireplace and being burned alive. Oh….goodness. Wow. All of these were inflicted upon him by his father. That’s so rude. Apparently his father killed him on a daily basis for several years. What a twisted ****. That’s like, thousands of counts of murder. Jerk.

Anyways, to make Cole feel better, Vino describes a bunch of new types of pain that he’s sure Cole has never experienced before. You see, you learn a lot about these things when you’re an assassin and all. Whoa! Vino just bit Cole’s fingers off. Vino says he want to make Cole suffer so much that eventually he’ll never want to come back to life. You know, ever since I even heard about the idea of Immortals, I had thought of some scenario like this. What if somebody discovers you’re immortal? What’re they gonna do? Kill you over and over again? Apparently, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

Two whitesuits are holding up one of the passenger cars. They have an awesome plan. They pull out their guns.
Whitesuit 1: “Give us all of ya money!”
Whitesuit 2: “And show us your ****, too!” (rhymes with grits)
Unfortunately, Donny walks in and knocks ‘em out, ruining the awesomeness. Jacuzzi picks up one of their guns and nervously declares that they’re in charge of the train now. The bartender welcomes him happily, and Jacuzzi looks a bit relieved.

In 1932, Eve is still shocked that Luck is immortal and Gustavo is knocked out (or dead, I can’t tell). The head Runorada (his name is Don) walks in and receives a surprisingly warm reception. He offers Luck to join the Runoradas, but he declines. He then demands to know where Dallas is. Nobody says anything, and Eve looks on. The episode ends.

Episode 12: Firo and the Three Gandor Brothers Are Felled by Assassins’ Bullets
Link:


Yikes, that episode title.

In 1932, Mr. President asks about Rachel’s leg, so we’re already back in 1931. Mary is sleeping on Natalie’s lap. They’re being watched by a single guard. Suddenly, Rachel smashes in through the window like a ninja, kicking the guard’s face off in the process. Rachel said she was there to rescue them. The president is confused by the story, stating that that wasn’t her job, her job was to collect information. Rachel justifies her action by saying that she didn’t want to sit back and do nothing while everyone else ran amok. Rachel leads Natalie and Mary to the roof, and gives them directions to go where they’ll be safe.

Rachel climbs down and peaks through a window. She realizes that Nick and Nice have been taken hostage as well, but they’re being watched by a blacksuit. Another blacksuit walks in and tells him that the broad and the kid escaped, so they leave Nick and Nice unattended. After they leave, Rachel busts in and unties them. But a blacksuit suddenly busts in! Rachel slams the door, allowing Nick and Nice enough time to hide in the closet. She then dashes out the window and on to the train roof using her ninja skills. The blacksuit manages to shoot her in the leg, though. Rachel tells the president that there’s only one part of the story she has left to tell. She looks at her hand, which looks like it’s been cut or burned or something.

The blacksuit is disappointed that Rachel managed to escape, but now he turns to the closet. He demands that Nick and Nice get out of there. He hears a sizzling and notices there’s a bomb behind him, and he looks terrified. In the dining car, Jacuzzi hears an explosion, and that’s apparently “the signal”. He leaves Donny and the bartender guy in charge and go the find “that package”. Shady Jacuzzi motivation is shady. He tells the bartender that he’s really afraid, but he’s not going to cry, he swears.

In 1930, Dallas tells Firo and Ennis that he doesn’t work for the old geezer anymore, since he’s so immortal and whatnot. As him and his dudes are about to shoot Firo, the 3 Gandors show up and hold guns to Dallas and his people’s heads. Dallas tries to concoct a story to frame Firo for something, but Luck doesn’t believe him, so he kills him while Berga and Keith kill the others. Firo thanks them and says that he has to go help Maiza. Ennis blurts out that they need to tie up Dallas, since he’s immortal. Dallas revives.

Berga: “Why the hell would we tie up some dead guys? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!”

Anyways, Szilard is about to devour Maiza, but he suddenly hears gunshots. This provides enough of a distraction for Maiza to smash through the window. Instead of doing the logical thing and following Maiza out the same window, Szilard feels the need to smash through a different one. On his way out, he gets hit by a car.

Vino is going on some philosophical rant thing. Cole is tied to the bottom of the train. He wonders if this is all punishment for devouring “him”. I’m gonna assume the “him” is his father. Flashback to Cole’s past. He’s tied up. His father just took some sharp things out of the fire, and then he jammed them in Cole's eyes. Cole screams. His father then washes his cleaver. An eyeless Cole manages to get his one arm untied. When his father approaches him, he manages to get his hand on his father’s forehead and devour him. Actually, he says the dude’s name, so I’m not sure that it’s his father, that’s just the assumption I made. Well anyways, Cole says he’ll never be able to trust anyone again.

Miria sees Cole’s arm underneath the train and screams, and it's time for commercial.

Chapter 12 Cont.

Cole’s having a weird little monologue while he can hear Isaac and Miria screaming for him. Isaac is dangling off the side of the train attempting to help Cole. Cole notices that Isaac has a cut, but his blood suddenly disappears. He’s a mother****ing immortal! Haha, Isaac being an Immortal is just fantastic. Cole is freaking out. He yells at Isaac and tells him to back off. He kicks him off, and he flies through the air, but he still manages to grab Cole. Since Miria was holding onto him to make sure he didn’t fall, she flies through the air. They embrace as time slows down dramatically.

On the top of the train, Ladd’s still mad. Vino just infuriates him. Using his acrobatic stuff, Vino manages to get the upper hand and shoots Ladd in the ear, making him even angrier. Vino says shooting him wouldn’t be very satisfying, so he’ll make Ladd throw himself off the train. When Ladd asks how (angrily, of course), Vino looks at the other end of the train, where Lua is dangling off. Vino has a part in this obviously, I just don’t know how.

A firefight in the hallway. The blacksuits are losing. It appears that Nice is the opposing party. She’s chucking bombs left and right, and the blacksuits retreat. She looks like she’s enjoying herself a little too much. Anyways, Nick says they have to go meet up with Jacuzzi, so he opens up the window. As he does so, Goose swings down from the top of the train through the window, kicking Nick and knocking him into Nice. He points a gun at them, which is something Nick and Nice must be pretty used to. Of course, Jacuzzi busts in and saves the day! He almost manages to shoot Goose, but Goose ninja rolls into another room and then starts to blather about some Huey nonsense.

HOLY ****! Dallas and Co. managed to kill Firo and the Gandors and Ennis! Not that that was a surprise or anything, since, you know, it was in the episode title, but still. They’re walking down a narrow alleyway, when suddenly they see a car coming out of nowhere! Who’s driving the car? Why, Isaac and Miria of course! They stole it, of course. Since there’s nowhere to run, they all get run over. However, at that very instance, Szilard jumps out the window and smashes until the windshield. Isaac freaks out, and puts the car into reverse, running over Dallas a second time. Good. The jerk deserved it.

On the top of the train, Ladd yells at Lua, who is now in Vino’s clutches. Just an observation: Lua sounds dramatically different when she’s yelling. Anyways, Vino ties one end of a rope to a stationary tree, and the other end of the rope around Lua’s neck. Ladd manages to save her, but only by, surprise surprise, throwing himself and Lua off of the train. Somehow, his fingers fall off during this scene, and I’m not even going to explain how, because I don’t even know. Ladd and Lua have a weird intimate moment before crashing into a wooden tower or something.

Jacuzzi tells Nice and Nick to meet up with Donny in the baggage car, while he picks a fight. Nice takes off her eyepatch and pulls out a cherry bomb, and she gives it to Jacuzzi. Nasty. Anyways, Jacuzzi climbs to the roof (what is with everybody and going to the roof?) and yells for Goose to come and join him for a fight. Goose climbs up there, but you know what? He has a ****ing flamethrower. Like, that’s not even fair.

Hey, Isaac and Miria are falling through midair, remember? Isaac tosses a lasso in the hopes of it hooking onto the train and saving them. It misses, but fortunately, Rachel manages to grab it, even though she herself is hanging off of the train with a broken leg. Rachel can’t hold the rope anymore, and lets go, but Vino does some weird flippy **** and manages to grab the rope. Elsewhere, Jacuzzi drops his gun and hightails it out of there while dodging fireballs.

In the dining car, the blacksuits attempt to make their way to the next car, but it’s locked. When they turn around they see all of the passengers have pulled out guns. It appears that the bartender has the situation under control. Jacuzzi is desperately running from Goose. His only hope is the cherry bomb, but he has no way to light it (I wonder where this is going?). Vino busts into the baggage car, and tells a confused Donny to hold onto the rope as hard as he can. He says that the people at the end of the rope are good people, except for the kid. The kid is not a good person.

Hey look, Ennis revived. She runs to track down Dallas, but she sees Maiza running towards her, and behind him, Szilard getting hit by the car. Szilard grabs Isaac and yells at him, since apparently it was his car that they stole. Isaac and Miria see Ennis at the end of alleyway and ask for her assistance. Szilard is perplexed by this, since theoretically, nobody should really know Ennis’s name. He jumps off the car and hands Ennis a knife to deal with Isaac and Miria while he deals with Maiza. He shoots Maiza in the arm. Isaac and Miria scream, hoping that Ennis is just joking. Szilard explains that Ennis is just his creation, so she’s a worthless piece of garbage. Wow, not that he wasn’t a dick before, but now Szilard is really going into maximum dick mode. He's just chucking out insults at Ennis for no real reason.The episode ends, leaving us to question whether or not Ennis will remain loyal to Szilard (prediction: she won’t).

Episode 13: Both the Immortals and Those Who Aren’t Sing the Praises of Life Equally
Link:


Ladd appears to be bleeding and unconscious while the train passes him and Lua by. Vino tells Chane that he was gonna kill whoever survived the fight, but since he doesn’t know whether or not Ladd is alive, he supposes he’ll let Chane live. He then starts asking her what her motivations are. When he starts to ask about Huey and immortality, she gets very tense and gets into her fighting stance. Vino says he has an idea: he wants Chane to marry him. Well…..what? That seems pretty out of nowhere. He promises her that he’ll never betray her like the blacksuits did. I… guess I don’t understand his motivations here, but whatever. He says that she doesn’t have to worry; he doesn’t need the immortality secret, since he fully believes that he’s never going to die anyways. Right as he says that, a bullet whizzes by. On the other side of the train, we see that it was a bleeding blacksuit (I can’t tell if it’s Goose or not) who fired the shot. Before going to deal with the blacksuit, Vino tells Chane that there’s a bridge coming up, so if she doesn’t want to get caught by the police, she should jump into the river. Before she does that, though, he wants her to carve her answer to his proposal into the roof of the train. Then he does some unnecessary flippy **** as he charges towards the blacksuit with the gun.

In the baggage car, Nick and Nice are talking about Jacuzzi as they chuck luggage off of the train for some reason. On the top of the train, Jacuzzi is at the end of his rope with Goose. Out of options, he recklessly charges at Goose. Goose scoffs, but then he realizes that his flamethrower got jammed when he was tripped by Isaac and Miria’s rope. Jacuzzi headbutts Goose. Hard. And what’s this? Are we finally getting some face tattoo/eyepatch backstory in the form of a flashback? Yes! Oh, wait no, false alarm. Just a young Jacuzzi telling a young Nice why he cries all the time. Laaaaaame. Anyways, Nice hears gunshots, so she goes to check up on Jacuzzi. Apparently, he’s been shot (not fatally, of course). Goose has a glove that shoots a bullet every time he closes his hand to make a fist. I know I’m supposed to be on Jacuzzi’s side here, but holy damn that gun glove is so badass. Like, for real. Anyways, Jacuzzi turns around and sees a puddle of violently bubbling blood. He thinks that it’s the Rail Tracer.

In 1930, Ennis thanks Isaac and Miria, and asks them to remember her. She then charges at Szilard, who is about to devour Maiza. On the train, Goose’s flamethrower has little effect on the weird ass blood monster thingy. With tons of fire on the roof, Jacuzzi takes this opportunity to chuck his bomb at Goose which blows him to the end of the train, but doesn’t kill him. Isaac and Miria try to revive Cole on the roof, and Cole asks why they didn’t devour him, much to their confusion. They see the explosion on the roof in the distance. Jacuzzi charges Goose again. Goose pulls a knife (instead of using his glove gun) and asks what Jacuzzi’s gonna do unarmed.

Jacuzzi: “I’ve got a gun! IN MY HEEEEEEEART!”

Jacuzzi takes a knife in the forearm, but he manages to tackle Goose off of the train. Goose lands on his gas tank, which blows him up for real this time. At this point, Jacuzzi’s fate is unknown. Oh yeah, and Nick jumped off the train at the bridge, so he saw all of the explosions while floating in the river. The blood monster of mysteriousness starts to envelop Cole, so Isaac and Miria start to scream. Oh, it turns out that Jacuzzi somehow managed to grab onto the edge of the train. Nice helps him up onto the roof. She says they have to stop his bleeding right away. After all, he has a bullet hole in his knee and in his side, as well as a knife wound (the knife is still sticking out of his arm, by the way). While they embrace, Jacuzzi sees a bright light behind Nice. The sun is starting to rise, and Jacuzzi sees Vino and prepares himself for a fight.

With a knife in his back, Szilard says that he knew all along that Ennis would betray him, since all puppets do. Just by thinking, he manages to make her pass out. He menacingly tells her that he’s going to make her understand suffering, but before he can, Isaac and Miria start throwing rocks at him. Szilard starts getting mad. Just then, Firo, the Gandors, and all of the men who Szilard presumably killed walk out from around the corner, much to everybody’s shock and stuff. Szilard yells at Maiza, claiming that they didn’t deserve the secret of immortality! One of the guys pops up out of nowhere and douses Szilard with gasoline, while another guy throws a match at him. Szilard runs around screaming. Ennis yells at Firo to put his right hand on Szilard. He charges Szilard (who is still on fire), so Szilard reaches out his right hand to try to devour Firo first. Firo’s like “lolnope” and pulls out a knife and cuts right through his hand (because this show has a vendetta against fingers). He gets his hand on Szilard’s head, and Ennis tells him to think about eating. Szilard is all like “no!” but Firo starts to devour him As this happens, Firo looks shocked and disgusted, and then the episode went to commercial.

Episode 13 Cont.

All of the red stuff that had enveloped Cole is gone, leaving Isaac and Miria even more shocked than before. Jacuzzi is about to run at Vino, but Vino puts up his finger and waggles it with authority. Then he runs away. Um…okay. He appears just to look menacing, and then he leaves. Whatever, man. Jacuzzi looks relieved, and then Donny pops his head up onto the roof. Cole starts to wake up, and he wants Isaac to lower his head a little bit more so that he can devour him. Just before he can, Isaac grabs Cole’s hand, and he and Miria tell Cole how happy they are that he’s alive. Whew, dodged a bullet there. Cole almost singlehandedly ruined the show.

Anyways, Miria says that she’s happy, but she doesn’t know how all of his injuries have healed. Using his…quick wit, Isaac says that it’s because the Rail Tracer gobbles up naughty children, so he let Cole go once he realized that Cole isn’t naughty. Cole gets mad, and says that he actually is a naughty boy. He lied; he isn’t actually going to see his family in New York because he doesn’t actually have a family. Of course, Isaac and Miria start to tear up, and Isaac declares that Cole should just leave everything to Uncle Isaac. Being a touching moment and all, Cole starts to cry. Jacuzzi screams Isaac’s name, and then Jacuzzi and friends wave to Isaac and friends. Yay, everybody’s happy.

Firo walks over to Ennis. Ennis is very weak, so she asks him to devour her just like he devoured Szilard. Since he devoured Szilard and now has all of his knowledge, he knows exactly how to restore Ennis. By poking her on the forehead. Yeah, it was pretty complicated. Anyways, Firo and Ennis then formally introduce themselves, in another touching moment. All of the mob guys start whistling and hollering at Firo. Never late to the party, Isaac and Miria rush up and start whistling too.

At the Gandor hideout in 1932, Gustavo’s boss guy (whose name escapes me) asks Luck what happened to Dallas Genoard. Apparently, Dallas and his cohorts were shoved into barrels, which were then filled with concrete and thrown into the Hudson River. Eve, of course, is upset. Luck says he doesn’t apologize for what he did (Dallas did kill a bunch of his dudes, after all), but he does offer Eve his condolences. I really do feel bad for Eve here. She’s just a sweet little girl. Anyways, Gustavo’s boss guy (GBG) asks Luck if it’d be alright if he picked Dallas up, and Luck agrees. GBG also gives Eve his word that she’ll be allowed to see him. Gustavo wakes up. He’s so happy to see his boss! GBG lulzily shoots Gustavo. Why? Just because. Eve and GBG depart, leaving Elean with the Gandors.

Hey, Isaac and Miria are getting off of the train. They greet Firo, Isaac, and Ennis, who’re waiting for them on the platform. Maiza smiles as he sees Cole. Isaac and Miria introduce Cole to everyone. They say they brought him as a gift for Ennis, so that he could be her little brother. That way, they could both have someone important in their lives. That’s sweet…in a disturbing kind of way. Maiza approaches Cole. In his head, Cole reveals that Maiza was the man he was sent to devour. With Maiza standing over him, Cole accepts his fate. When Maiza doesn’t devour him, Cole collapses into Maiza’s arms, saying how much he’s missed him. Sure, okay then.

In the alleyway, Maiza apologizes to Firo for thrusting the curse of Immortality onto them. Firo says it’s okay, living forever isn’t that bad. Everybody in the alley agrees, so they start to party, and the credits start to roll early. On top of the train, Vino finally reads Chane’s message. She says she’ll wait for him forever in Manhattan.

Series Fin.

Final thoughts:
Wow, that was a good anime. I mean, that was really good. I can’t believe they managed to squeeze such an elaborate and well thought out plot into only 13 episodes. That’s incredibly impressive. The concepts were great, the characters were great, everything was just great. Isaac and Miria are amazing. I think it’s impossible to dislike them. They just make everything better. I’ve only watched two animes so far, and they’ve both been really good. I have a feeling that a lot of anime that I watch after Baccano! are just going to feel inferior. I can see why so many people recommended it.

Yeah, I'll get on that. I don't feel like writing them up though. >.>

Okay, so I watched the last 3 episodes.

My thoughts:
- My respect points for Jacuzzi's crew shot up by a lot.
- It's about time we got some eyepatch/tattoo back story. I would have never thought that Jacuzzi got the tattoo voluntarily. The part where he first showed his tattoo to Nice was incredibly touching. It made me smile. =')
- I didn't like Graham. Probably my least favorite main character in the series.
- Glad they tied up the loose ends about Silvie.
- Rachel is a boss.
- Luck being the devil was.....wow, didn't expect that at all. The devil is a pretty cool guy.

One question, though. If Luck is the devil, then does that mean that Keith and Berga are also extensions of the devil?

No, no, no >_>. The devil is Ronnie. They just look kind of similar.

Oh. Hehe, I'm dumb. They shouldn't look so damn similar. >_>
