Baccano!
#225 Most Rated#266 Most Popular#2 Most Rated · Summer 2007
Baccano interleaves a dozen storylines across three decades and four cities, and trusts the viewer to assemble them. There is the alchemist circle in 1711 that drinks an elixir of immortality and gets more than it bargained for. There is the Flying Pussyfoot, a Chicago-bound express train in 1931 that catches a mob assault, a cult assault, and a serial killer in the same overnight run. There is a New York mafia war and a missing bottle of the same elixir. And there is the thief couple Isaac and Miria, whose enthusiastic incompetence runs through every storyline and somehow holds the whole thing together.

"Baccano is Highlander meets The Godfather plus a battle royal on a train as directed by Quentin Tarantino"
Now THIS is the anime that Quentin Tarrantino would make
So Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan walk into a bar and talk about making an anime...

A wonderful piece of work with a mind-blowing plot.
It says the fun comes from that what which never ends...

Baccano! is a highly recommended hugely popular 2000s anime, but it underdelivers in the worst ways possible.

Baccano is a decent watch, but it was just not made for me, and that’s fine.

An overconvoluted mess
