There's plenty of humor, suspense, action, and none of it ever feels out of place. The story is a bit hard to follow at first, but that only adds to the re-watch value this anime already has in spades. The visuals and the music are almost perfect, always keeping the right tone and mood. That is what it's like to watch this anime this anime.

Finally, you're finished, and while you're a bit sad that it's over, you know deep down that any more would have been too much. Vanilla ice cream it's served with give you a multitude of marvelous textures as you continue. The warm chocolate syrup drizzle and the side of Every bite is a rich, glorious masterpiece that enhances and surpasses the last. You pick up your fork, and can barely feel any resistance as you cut out your first bite.


Its aroma, its plating, everything about this dish is sublime. You decide to go with the chocolate lava cake, and as it's brought out, you know you've chosen well. The waiter comes by and offers you and your friends dessert, an offer you readily accept. You're sitting in a nice restaurant, having just finished a wonderful high-class meal. Still this is a damn good show, that every anime fan needs to watch at some point in time. Baccano! Is leagues above other anime in ambition and is able to deliver a lot of the time, but there are a couple minor problems in the show, that make me not view it as the masterpiece that it is often heralded as. There is a bit of a fantastical element to Baccano!, mainly the immortality storyline, and while being able to take a gunshot to the head and survive is an engaging concept, it really ruins the audience's suspension of disbelief, sucking the viewer out of this world due to the impossibility of the idea in an otherwise reasonably realistic world. It is often very obvious when the show is switching between the timelines, and sometimes it is bit too much, and that the jumbled and complex story structure could at points stay linear without losing much steam in terms of the story telling style, but this style of storytelling defines the along with the jazzy OP and group of badass characters define the coolness that Baccano! contains in spades. While there are an abundance of characters, a number of them are a joy to behold especially the thieves Isaac and Miria who are delightfully idiotic, and persistently optimistic. The constant saxophone and repeated themes heard throughout the song are delight and fit the snazzy and entertaining tone of most episodes very well. The cast is quite large, and the marvelous jazz opening Guns and Roses doesĪ fantastic job of reminding the viewer in a visually eye catching way of each character's name and personality even though each character gets barely any screen time in the opening.

Baccano! intertwines three different stories into one series with no real congruent beginning or ending, but as the puzzle pieces start to fall in place you're able to understand and appreciate where the story is headed and the different motivations and actions characters make make more and more sense.
