Plot Summary - During the late 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis, are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, a war between the mafia groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality.
My First Impression - This series was just... Wow! I'm at a loss of words! While it was completely confusing just as littlepooch warned me, I was completely sucked into the story. The transitions are kind of iffy, but the lack of an explanation and set in stone plot are interesting and unique. I really liked the drawings in this anime--they weren't fantastic but very appealing. Each character was unique in his own way, and I loved the designs. Somewhat gory, but the immortal element in this series was a very nice touch. I really recommend this to you guys, and I know I will be continuing to watch this series!
