Loving "Baccano!"

Things I love about it.
  • The characters are colorful -- "Yeah, that was impossible. At least we did the next best thing, stealing the entrance!" "Guns? Guns? I hear guns! This is getting exciting! This is getting exciting!"
  • The dialog is a blast -- "YesYesYesYesYesNoNoNo, Still no, Hell No!"
  • The animation is excellent -- See Ladd Russo's initial fight in the dining car.
  • The story presentation is a blast -- Three stories presented concurrently, containing some common characters. Many scenes get revisited from different characters' perspectives. Most of the story is presented out of chronological order; if it weren't different parts of the stories would spoil parts of other stories.
Other notable components:
  • Set in the late 1920s/early 1930s.
  • There's a lot of violence. You may or may not enjoy it.
