Half of them are immortal. Their stories will never finish, ever. That's simply the premise, and if you're dissatisfied with that you're never going to be satisfied with any kind of ending short of killing everyone off.

Edit: Huey wasn't part of the group on the train. He was related to them, but had nothing to do with the plan itself. He's much more patient than that, obviously.

Edit edit: Graham isn't important. At some point you're going to have to distinguish between who's a main character and who's a side character. Graham falls squarely into the latter category.

Nonsense. There are plenty of character based stories out there they manage to have a satisfying ending without killing them all off.

It shouldn't matter how important somebody is to the overall story; every character, ideally, every character, no matter how minor should be been some kind of resolution. And it's especially unforgivable to not give a character who was just introduced two episodes ago and was a major driving force in those episodes any kind of resolution.

Does the fact that I'm watching this automatically mean I've watched Baccano! or something?

Changing subject, I think I know why Celty is afraid of the Greys.

What's known about them is that they kidnap people, open them up with sharp instruments and do experiments on them.

I think we can agree that Celty has bad experiences with that sort of things.

So, I have a question after watching episode 16- how likely is it that Anri is a Self-Made Orphan? This seems to be strongly implied, but I wonder if there's a further twist.

^Don't highlight if you don't want the above question answered. She's not. It was more or less a double-suicide (mother killed father in self defense, then killed herself) as a result of Saika. Then Anri became Saika's host

Can't imagine it would, though I don't know whether to place it above or below "making your kid dissect a naked, struggling Dullahan" on the scale of horriffic childhood trauma.

Just watched episode 17.

So... how did Haruna get cut a Saika spawn? And it looks like things are headed towards a three way war; though I'm really not sure how the Yellow scarves are supposed to compare, given that they have no supernatural help or named characters beyond their leader and maybe Saki.

Well's that's certainly the oddest trio dynamic I've seen in a while...

But I agree with Gilphon...

Anyway, woohoo! Next episode looks like it'll explain more Kida backstory.

Looking forward to some very interesting Living with the Villain antics. Three separate faction's leaders... go to the same high school. Y'know, that could probably be a series in and of itself.

Thanks for that link - I was watching on crunchyroll and was always a week behind.

Uh, so the Chessmaster is trying to start a 3 way with the gangs led by Two Guys and a Girl Plus the blue squares as a random element. If those 3 every learn the truth, head explodey time.

^ Pretty much.

Though I am sad that we'll probably not get to volume 4-6, because then we'd get to throw in the Russians and the Yakuza for a real Thirty Xanatos Pileup.

Are you averse to learning that new characters/groups are introduced in the later novels? If so, don't highlight.

^^It's nothing on the level of the recent Reveals, but I spoilered in just to be safe.
