ep3 started like the writers went completely crazy... i have no idea what went on.

after that... why were Miria and Isaac in the hat shop? i'm confused (and highly entertained!)

This is one crazy series. Temporal linearity is an unknown concept to the script, and even though they do seem to randomly drop those 1930 and 1931 year marks on the screen, still it's half the time impossible to know if the things being displayed were in the past or the present. And the number of characters is of course daunting. Though at the same time, because it's such a crazy series, it's remarkable how you still can, kind of, keep track of all of them. After all, if you can't expect any clearly advancing story of clear main characters, it's useless to even try to, which alleviates the viewer's situation considerably.

Just watched the first 3 episodes. This series is fucked up... that's all I'll say for now. So who's the lead character?

[Chaos]

Yeah, Munsu took the words right out of my mouth, this series is pretty fucked up. I think the main character is Firo...they indicated that he was an "ideal" main character in the first episode and in episode 3 Firo saved Szilard Quates(the scientist who made the immortality potion). Its been good so far though and Ayu is subbing the series at a good pace, though I'll probably archive Solar's version.

No main character. I think what this mode of storytelling is trying to do is a Bokurano style of narration. The story is being told from many POVs, and there is no single character truly standing out. Everyone is practically sharing the spotlight equally as of now.
