Elmer - Mister Happy End. I really like the guy, too bad he re-appeared so late.
And that scene where Czes run away terrified screaming was priceless.

I enjoyed the ending, this anime was fun.

Great episode, the scene where Vino was asking Rachel for love advice was too funny xD
I also liked the conversation between Carrrrooll~ and the Vice-chief; it really helped to bring a nice close to the series.

Agreed. Spooky way the Vice-chief kept saying Carrrroooollll though ^_^

well as expected the fight was easy and Graham was no match at all for Vino.

i liked to see Chane smile a bit and i wonder where Dallas was he didn't seem to be in that but the cards where so does mean he escaped somehow:O

over all i liked this specials a lot it was really showing the things i missed in the anime such as background on what happened after the events in the anime + they explained a lot of things more clear so i can only say i love this specials.

i would hope for another seasons but i don't think it will be happening since still no new season and its pretty long ago already since this came out. they where talking about it yeah but as they said it has no start and it has no end could also be implying to that they won't make another season or leaving it open not planning to go on but they can if they feel like it.

This one kind of bugged me actually.

It looked like they were gearing up to do the 1933 arc, which is the final part of the Eve looking for her brother plotline (among other things), and was teased in the very first episode of the series...but then...it just cuts off.

The 3 OVAs were literally just the start of "The Slash (1933)"..and then it ends before anything of real importance happens. Literally not 10 minutes after the VP and Carol finish talking she would've been pulled into that mess with The Lamia.


Well that, and the fact that they actually left out A LOT of stuff. The railroad arc could've been a 26 episode anime by itself, and was only about 45-50% adapted. (the loss of 97% of Claire's story, and 75% of Rachel's, about 30% of Czes's, 20% of Ladd's, 95% of Lua's, a bunch of stuff involving the Lemures, and all of "The Magician's" involvement actually did hurt the story somewhat).

I enjoyed most of the characters execpt for firo and I was happy he wasint shown as much since he was so boring and bland.I would like a second seaoson to see what everyone is up to espciall of course Jacuzzi and his gang.Though im assuming the second season would be about that rat and his journeys.....:p

Nah, Jacuzzi, Graham, Chane, and Claire fans would be rejoicing, as 1933 is basically a straight continuation of the specials, with Huey's non-human organization The Lamia coming on the scene, as well as the introduction of Chane's little sister Leeza. It would also probably include the Gandor/Runorata war in 1932 as well, since they'd have to introduce Maria (the brown katana wielding chick in that blink and you'll miss it scene in the first episode) who plays a big role in the Lamia fights (which includes Adele, the blonde chick with the spear).

1934 is mostly about Ladd, Jacuzzi, Huey, Firo, and Issac in prison.


On the other hand, they might skip 1933/1934 and instead do the 1705-1711 arcs, since the Advenna Avis immortals didn't get much screen time, though that series is mostly about Huey and Elmer, with occasional cameos of other future immortals, eventually culminating with why they all ended up on the ship in the first place. In some ways it's a more interesting series since immortals play almost no part in it (aside from the headmaster and teacher of the Alchemy school, who actually don't do much at all aside from intimidating some officials with a demonstration of their immortality)

Or they may do the 2001 or 2002 arcs, which are all awesome but ends on cliff hanger (like most of the books do).


Though I can totally agree that Firo is pretty boring, he gets 1 single arc to give him some depth as he angsts over whether Szilard's memories could eventually turn him evil, but goes back to his old self once it's resolved. I mean, he does have a decent amount of back-story, but none of it really changes that he's still this wide-eyed idealistic kid at heart and never really grows out of it.

It's funny that despite being "main character-ish" he really is the most one dimensional of all the Baccano characters.

Even his wife has 10x the depth he does.

Hell, Keith Gandor (the leader of the Gandors) has more depth and he talks a grand total 7 very brief times in the whole series (and never utters a word in the anime).

Yep a happy ending YEEES!!!!

The fighting scene between Claire and Graham was epic.

Look at Elmer spreading smilies everywhere lol.

Yey a happy ending lol, look at how Chane was blushing after she accepted the proposal and that Graham boy had a good heart after all XD.

Obviously, it didn't really "end", but overall, really fun series and I enjoyed it.

Well, at least the ending episode was nice and we finally got some closure. Although as a whole, I would recommend watching only this episode of OVA because other two were pretty sub-par.

As for Baccano as whole, I would say this episode made it worth it. But as I said before - as this is being highly episodic series, your enjoyment of it depends on which character you like the most, some episodes would be better for one part of target audience and others for another one (while the rest would be bored by it). Little more effort put into toning down those slapstick parts and it would be a lot better.

Great specials overall. Loved the way Claire fought against Graham and professed his love for Chane again lol

And of course, the comedy from the idiot couple was awesome as well. I wanted to see more Nice action though. I've recently started the novels so I hope the some of the remaining volumes will be adapted in the future. One can hope right?

Ok, but the Vice President and Carol knowing about the mouse makes no sense at all. The mouse was such an inconsequential detail in the story so there's no way they would know about it, let alone recognize it. I understand the intent was that they're overarching narrators so they can break the fourth wall, but breaking the fourth wall like that needs to be done carefully, especially in a show that takes itself seriously while doing it. Otherwise it just breaks the show's universe. Like this one did.

Good show, but it really stumbled with its ending. The climax was nowhere near as effective as its build-up (which was masterful), the 3 OVA episodes suffer from a pacing completely inconsistent with the entire show before it (much due to Graham Specter's scenes, which dragged like crazy and could have been made much shorter, resulting in a better pace and a much less annoying character), and the attempted bookend with the Vice President and Carol was mishandled.

What hurts about it is that before the last chunk of episodes (12 and onward), this was the closest thing to a perfect show I've ever seen. It was so close to perfection. So painfully close.

This was revelations and conclusion to the fullest!
  • Humanization of Claire (Rail Tracer), well, he's still a psycho xD
  • We know that Dallas broke free from the concrete and escaped from the Hudson!
  • We know the identity of the demon! He was there all along!
  • The girl from the 1711 ship appeared! The girlfriend of Maiza's brother!
  • All that and many more details!

What a fantastic story!
Fantastic!
I'm so glad I could watch this anime.

I'll rewatch this anime rather soon so I can connect better all the plot and points since I had trouble recalling names and some faces that are alike or didn't have much screen time.

Ah what a satisfying watch this has been. Not only did we get conclusion after the anime, we got to know more about the characters which were on loose ends in the anime.

Chane and Claire <3

The faces of those guys when sugar cube got to see Daily Days's president's face XD

The moment when Claire tells about himself to Rachel, and instead of Rachel screaming in the flashback, Czes runs off in the real with the scream lol

I found myself giggling when the music start for the ending and Ladd put on a sinister smile XD

And definitely what a way to end series with Issac and Miria's antics again haha

I loved it when vice president told CAROOOOOOOOLLLLL XD that there's no beginning or end to a story. Just people interacting with each other and moving on in life.

Glad everyone is happy in the series. Well except for Eve. She's still on run after her brother, Dallas XD
Everyone has something to look forward to and thus the story never ends :')

I dont think i could have said it any better.

Also, my godness, this anime is just outstanding. These specials were just as good as the main show.
Every scene fits perfect, soundtrack is breathtaking, characters are awesome.
The scene when the old guy is telling Carol that the story doesn't have an end nor a beggining actually gave me chills *.* *.* *.*
