Funimation announced, in a streaming update, that it has acquired Aniplex's anime adaptation of Ryohgo Narita's light novel, Baccano!. The anime, set in early 1930s America, is collection of stories about immortal alchemists, mafia, reporters, and thieves.

The first episode, subbed in English, will be available online and can be viewed with the password "Flying Pussyfoot" (A train that is a key setting to one of the stories).

I've heard good things about this show, I'll definitely be checking it out, and I do hope they don't take as long as they did with Ouran.

I hope Funimation gives it a great dub since it actually takes place in America it seems like an english dub would work well. This was my second favorite show from last year after TTGL. I can't wait to buy this and show it to all my friends!!!

That's what I hope as well. Baccano! is an anime that should do better with an English Dub, because it's set in America. ^_^

I'll most definitely buy it when it gets cheap enough. And yes, I would actually be willing to try out a dub for once if they find good enough VAs.

Nonsense. The JP voice work was top caliber. I can't imagine any other voice over matching it.

although they'll never beat the voices for Isaac & Miria.
still that anime is pretty damn awesome, it would've only been a matter of time before it got licenced, even though theres quite some gore.
