Episode 2 did not go how I expected it, he's kicking off his revenge a lot quicker than I thought. Can't wait for next week.

Though I'm kinda sad Vanno was one of his targets, I really liked him. Angelo's gonna be after Nero, too, who I also like. I was hoping it'd just be the dad and some other goons.

lol'd at Fango
he came off as generic in episode 1 but now I see that he's just af ahaha

I didn't expect Angelo to act this quickly... but then that post-credit scene and now I can't predict what will happen with all of this.

We'll be doing good if it keeps up like this.

Fantastic, fantastic. Absolutely adored this episode, might be my favorite episode of the season so far. Great atmosphere, sharp dialogue, and engaging characters. I'm impressed by how much they humanized the killers of Angelo's family, complicating the situation so that it isn't just him seeking revenge against one-dimensional evil monsters. That alone elevates the storytelling here beyond most of the anime currently airing. This has so much potential, hoping it continues delivering on it.

Also, the OP is amazing. Actually got me hyped before I even watched most of the episode.

Already perfect!

First, the OP is emo and it's suitable, fitting the conflict within the families and Avilio's goal.

Then we have everything within a mafia drama. Friend revenge, bullcrap family alliances that's questioned, kink (WE GOT KINK! Not Game of Thrones but we got kink!), emphasis on selling booze, family war, Avilio's decision making and interacting with Vanno...

Thought they were going to shoot up the wedding...

and then that cliffhanger. Crap! Now what?

What did the Don say, "Don't rush ahead? Or you'll trip." OTTO!

Speaking of Vinciente, looks like his health is bad. Maybe he'll die anyway but not by Avilio's hand? Maybe even the Orca.

Pretty awesome episode here. The ending was a little 'meh' because even though it was a nice twist the revenge thing is so old.

Fango being a masochist somehow didn't surprise me 乁( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ㄏ

Kind of meh animation, had higher expectations since they made baccano. The Fango gunfight looked pretty awkward (missing shots from point-blank, but that was the point probably because it looks like the mc isn't looking to kill anyone else than the killers of his family). Op fluidity and song were great though. Many references to godfather series but this doesn't make the anime any better for me, kind of feels cheap tbh.

Ending also caught me off guard.

Ok episode.

Pretty amazing episode xD

I personally thought they could have left more to it but this was pretty fine and dandy.

Fango is a fucking piece of shit right now Lel, at the same time the animation got better than before, at the same time it was pretty unexpected for Avilio to do that shit. Now that I think about it, Corteo got a pretty fucked up reaction so it was rather subtle af about it. In some way.

WOW great episode. OP song is really good. All that gun fire. ED song is real chill.
Vanno is such a cool character. Poor Tronco.
Ronaldo going to be a real jerk now he's joined the family.

Fango is a massive masochist. Just managing to escape. What a jerk for using that woman as a shield.

Vanno getting some revenge, but that ending was unexpected.
Avilio shooting Vanno. The revenge has began.

Well I'll be damned I thought shuka was formed by the people who previously worked at brain's base. If not that then I don't know how they got the baccano art style so well.

You aren't wrong on that one, it was a studio formed by the previous people that worked on Brain's Base, at least as far as I'm concerned in the entire staff department, but I don't think animator wise would be Baccano, but I'll check for a moment.

That was a good episode. Liked it much more than the first one.

I thought Angelo was already experienced in killing, Surprised when he said this was gonna be his first.
Lol at Fango's 'fun' .

Quite crafty of Angelo to carry out his revenge by joining the family himself, Not sure if Fango really escaped or if Angelo had planned to let him go in order to draw out Vano.

That post credit scene :o, Clearly there's a much more elaborate plan at work here.
Interesting that Angelo's dad's best friend is helping him out, Going so far as to give him the list of names. He might have been set up, Show is getting real interesting now.

A little modern, compared to the Harlem jazz within the show.

I thought it was OK, but it was so melancholy that I agreed with it, ESPECIALLY with those scenes. Avilio stroking that gun!

I'm not so keen on animation staffs, but I think may be we don't have to take the art director into account. He isn't a Shuka staff and just cooperating with the studio for this anime series.

I am really loving this show in it's early moments and that there might be a proper mafia anime as I feel anime hasn't had a great mafia series.

This is easily the best show of the season so far for me.

A wedding scene.. where the Don sits in his office... and it also happens to be a political marriage... There is no way this show wasn't inspired by 'The Godfather'.

The OP was very fitting with the revenge theme, tbh. I don't really like TK, but it's still good.
A lot of Godfather references. Great episode, no complain.
But damn Angelo, why did you kill Vanno? He is my favorite character in this anime so far.
So, will Serpente get out of the mafia after this? XD

Pretty slow and samey episode till near the end.
Props for the show keeping it un-anime in terms of tropes tho. Its still a mafia movie through and through.

The problem is that I don't find that much reason to care about characters and what they are going through. Not only the MC does not seem to have much beyond revenge, but the setting feels dry - the showrunners clearly do not have that much interest in the flavour of the setting.

Both are the shows with similar aesthetics that tried to accomplish somewhat realistic narrative.

Joker Game ended up being a boring asspully bore with good deal of japanese nationalism propaganda.
This so far manages to do what it set out to do decently.

Love the OP by TK. Fango being still alive. Avilio is really out for revenge, he's now ready to kill. So Nero and Vanno are the one who killed or just connected to the one's who killed Avilio's family. Vanno was alive or someone took his body, that cliffhanger scene of Nero and Avilio will decide there fate. Looking forward for the next episode.
