Despite some critics here, I really enjoyed this. It's good to see that there's a little "introduction" before the real action starts. (Though the Graham vs Ladd fight was quite cool already!)

Plus, I think it's great we get a bit more character background, at least that's just what I expected from the OVAs, not a real continuation of the anime, storywise. =D

PLUS, it features one of my favourite seiyuus, Tomokazu Sugita!! :3 Couldn't believe it. This makes me really happy~ Looking forward to the other two.

Awesome, I didn't think this was gonna have much to do with the story, but it does, so far anyways. OMG...Giant Crescent-Wrenches FTW!!!! When he dismantled the car into a million pieces, without it even touching the ground.....@_@!!! I can't wait to see him fight with those things, I mean more of a fight than with Boss Ladd, Russo just pretty much pwnd him, I wanna see a grittier fight with him! Baccano was one of my fav series, and I'm enjoying the OVA just as much. My only Bitch is as always....NEEDS MOAR FIRO!!! Urahara Out!!

Lol, Graham Is alright but Sugita Is awesome as always. 'Love and peace!' had me in tears, had to pause It for a few.

For the roles I've heard, Gin, Yuuichi and now this guy are the best. I think It's more like each time I hear Sugita I Just remember Gin.

So-so episode, nothing different from the show really. Same average feel.

Wtf, that new Graham Scepter guy sure was crazy. Heck, he was like Ladd. They're both crazy, lol. I loved their showdown. Too bad Graham lost. Ladd is just too strong for you.

Loved to see the old characters back, especially Miria and Isaac. Also loved the domino part. Even the "devil" Ronnie was participating on it, lmfao.

I wonder if their plan to kidnap Eve to draw out Jacuzzi will work. Also, young Chane sure was hot. So, she was just a lab rat. I didn't expect that at all. I thought she's really the daughter of Huey. ALSO, WHERE'S RAIL TRACER MAN?!

Maybe it's just me, but from what I've seen so far, the OVAs seem to be a somewhat lacklustre continuation of the original series. Hopefully things will improve in the next two installments!

... Maybe there's something wrong with me. D: I only thought this episode was just "okay"... though I absolutely adored the actual series! Oh well, I'll finish it off~ Baccano! didn't let me down before, so I'm holding out that it won't this time either. :)

But I guess I understand that it appeals specifically to otakus, that may be why it works. Not for me unfortunately.


Oh wow. No. Baccano is really NOT an otakubait anime. Less so than most really.

Too American for Otakus. Literally.

Especially when the Dub is infinity better for someone who speaks English as their first language.

I would also like to echo the opinions of others.

As an anime episode, this was probably an 8/10.

As a Baccano episode it's easily the worst so far with a 6/10.
Nothing special, not enough character variation (Even though it did explain back-story, which I like), and the funny moments just seemed...a let down.

Critics need to understand that this is an OVA and not a continuation of the anime. I mean it continues it but the story isn't going to be all crazy murder and all that. The point of this OVA is just to close up loose ends. That said stop your whining that it's not as good as the anime.

Graham was awesome with dismantling the car. I hecka recognized Sugita from the crazy fast rant he did. God his voice rocks among seiyuus.

Did we really need another psycho in this series? xD Graham is kind of annoying but his use of th wrench is surely awesome.

This episode was actually very good in my opinion because of Chane's backstory. I actually thought that Huey might love her but it seems she's just a "lab rat" and the only feeling he has for her is pity. That's the way it sounded to me. I hope things develop nicely next episode. Especially as Claire appears in the preview^^

But Graham's plan was a little wired... Kidnapping Eve to draw out Jacuzzi? During the series they never even met... I guess.

Love it! Ennis and Firo are cute together! ^o^

My guess is that the girl with short silvery white hair at the booth is actually Sylvie... Hmm.. let see...

I still vote Claire as the most badass of the two, Ladd or Specter!

Now we know Chane's back-story but this guy with the wrench doesn't really deserve his time on screen. Sure Ladd is...somewhere, but we could say he's the next Ladd the second (with a wrench...-_-')

this one. <333

Graham, you're the most amazing (after Claire) person ever~! <333 x'3

The first one is so so great~! It was funny at first, with Firo and the other immortals playing domino and then continued with Graham's crazinessawesomeness <3 I especially like the part when he and Ladd met for the first time, and he started smashing things and talked non-stop like there's no tomorrow. Hahaha xDDD

I had to take a nap in the middle of it.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in not liking this new character. It feels like a character a fan of Baccano would create to compete with Ladd and Claire. I'm glad they kept him out of the TV series.

Yeah for me it was boring. Graham is the first character I don't like in Baccano.

But it was good to see Elmer finally. Mister Happy End lol. Seems like some loose ends are going to be tied in after all.

lol the dominoes was a bit random to start with but i pretty much liked this episode it seems like a lot more will be explained and looks like some interesting things are about to happen also it seems like a continuation of the anime.

The reason the OVAs feel differently then the other part of the anime is that they aren't mixing storylines from multiple books like the main anime did. The OVAs are literally the first few chapters of "The Slash (1933)".

(ok, after more through inspection, most of the OVAs are from book 17, Another Junk Railroad. Which detailed where Graham Spector came from (he was a big player in earlier books that just seemed to come out no where other then a few minor details here and there), as well as filling in more details about before, during, and after the Flying Pussyfoot incident from some new perspectives not covered in Grand Punk Railroad Local and express.

(one of the biggest being from Who, the tall thug who was guarding Lua on the train, who due to his long friendship with Ladd gives a HUGE amount of insight on why Ladd is the way he is).

The domino scene and Gustav/Carol is from the The Slash.

I was horribly disappointed when they ended suddenly after just 3 episodes (even the VP and Carol are part of the book, Carol would've gotten held hostage shortly after their scene if the episode hadn't ended). I thought they were actually going all the way and at least adapt that book, since that mysterious scene in the very first episode of anime is from one of the big climax parts of "The Slash (1933)". And is the final part of the "Eve looking for her brother plotline" (you can see Dallas KO'd on the floor behind Adele).

Love the psycho bonding between Ladd and Graham(speaking of which Tomokazu Sugita did an absolutely brilliant job voicing him).

Yes!!!More Jacuzzi is always good.
