Aboard a ship in 1711, a group of alchemists summoned a “demon” that gave them an immortality elixir, but they quickly realized that they posed a threat to one another and dispersed across the world. In Depression-era New York City the immortals gradually gather together again over attempts by some to replicate the original immortality formula, in the process accidentally either directly or indirectly involving numerous other individuals, including robbers, made men, Mafia bosses, cultists, psychopaths, and the female homunculus servant of one of the original alchemists.


Even then, the sense of compelling adventure is strangely absent, due to the aspects of the show that make it difficult to follow. Futuristic military and technical terms pop in without explanation, characters casually refer to events and ideas that won't make sense until later on, and people do things with unclear motivations. Brushing up on Northern European culture might help, though, as everything is named after Norse and Germanic legends (i.e., anything that appeared in Wagner's Ring cycle), but the world of Fafner is still a tough one to get into.
