Plots(1)

Hot off the 'Roaring Twenties' and headfirst into the uncertain volatility of the 'Dirty Thirties', criminal syndicates stormed into power by bootlegging alcohol during the Prohibition Era, but the most notorious 'liquor' of all time is about to set off a violent chain reaction within the mafia underworld! Each of the gritty stories in Baccano! involves an eclectic cast of innocent and not-so-innocent, turbulent characters in several unrelated plots intersecting and crossing each other as events spiral further and further out of control. Immortal alchemists, Mafia-operated speakeasies, and many other elements of pulp fiction are brutally mashed together for a explosive massacre straight out of crime noir movies. (Anime Ltd)

Baccano! (2007) 

English Baccano! is a brilliant mix of fun, action, suspense, mystery, and romance. In addition, you get a perfect show when you add amazing characters, a great atmosphere, and really interesting processing, which requires a lot of attention so that the viewer does not miss the individual connections. Almost everything has already been said on FilmBooster by other reviewers, so I am just going to confirm that Isaac and Miria are a brilliant duo. Besides them, I liked Firo, Ennis, Ladd, and Rail Tracer. However, the other characters were great, and even Jacuzzi, who was a bit of a pain in the ass for the first three episodes, showed what he was made of. I also have to say that this was an anime series where I never once skipped the opening, not only because almost all the characters are introduced for the sake of orientation, but mainly because I just liked the music.
