Summary:
Each of the stories in the series involves several unrelated plots intersecting and crossing each other as events spiral farther and farther out of control. Immortal alchemists, mafia operated speakeasies, and many other elements of pulp fiction mashed together for a world straight out of the movies.
Baccano! is a gritty, violent, flashy, fast-paced series. Events flash by out of order, main characters are so numerous you'd probably need both hands and feet to count them and...it was all done very well. Baccano! is very cleverly executed and will constantly keep the audience on the edge. The confusing presentation of the events is key to the enjoyment of the finale as all these, seemingly random and out-of-place events and characters all collide to produce a gigantic explosion of chaos and excitement!
The characters all have their quirks that distinguish them from one another and the audience will have no problem remembering all of the main characters. This is quite a feat because some anime with less characters cannot even get the audience to remember half of them.
What I LIKE about Baccano!:
-Excellent presentation
-Great voice acting
-Appropriate background and Opening and Closing music
-Memorable, large cast of colourful characters
-Conclusive conclusion, all sub plots tied together neatly
What I DISLIKE about Baccano!:
-Can be a bit too violent in some instances but does not detract from the overall enjoyment
