Truly a work of art! An anime series that made me finished for 3 days (Or 1 and half if I don't count sleeping and eating and waiting for it to buff.. XD) straight! It's that good!

Love every scene - the action, the gore, drama! The best of all are the characters! Gotta love each one of them! They're all unique from psycho to immortals! Pretty cool! I really like Firo, Luck, Ladd, and Vino!

The pacing of the story is ingenious! I'm really amazed how it all came to light at the last ep! Genius! This anime became my top 10 immediately! I don't why this is underrated?! >.<

I actually cried at Czes's scenes with Isaac and Miria... And how he cried so hard when Maiza showed him kindness! Poor boy! My heart goes out for him! Nyuuuu~!

Isaac and Miria are the best comedy action couple duo that had grazed the scene of anime! They're AWESOME! Hilarious! To not realize that they're immortal for like 70 years?! Ignorance is bliss! Sigh!

Hands down! A easy perfect 10/10 for me! XD

I just loved the timeline they used to tell the story, just perfect.It's the first anime I've seen that tells the story like that so i'll definitely be re-watching this someday.

Issac and Miria for the win!! Woot, woot!!

Kinda like Haruhi, but I like Haruhi better. Glad the old guy got eaten.

As a fan of Haruhi, I had the same thought in earlier episodes.

This show should have a decent rewatch value, with all that time jumps. However, they do get very excessive at times, which certainly doesn't help in explaining the story.
In terms of sound, IMO it was weird watched the subbed version, with accented English pronunciations.
The insane amount of gore and torture was awesome though ~ HAHAHA
Will be looking forward to the OVA since the ending still had unfinished plot.

OMGOSH, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END?! WHY?! WHY?! :OOO

Oh well, great series ended in an amazing way. And unique series like Baccano! ended in an amazingly twisted way. Now we know a lot more about Jacuzzi, and the answers of our questions from the very start of the series. First of all, I definitely must love the pairing; Claire x Chane <333
They are perfect for each other, and it was so sweet of him to propose her on top of the train while still covered in blood. If I were her, I would say YES! in an instant :3

Second, it was amazing and purely sweet of Ladd to sacrifice his hand/arm for Lua. Seriously, he was just far too sweet and seriously madly in love with her.

The story with Ennis/Firo and the Gandors are amazing as well. It's funny how Isac and Miria accidentally made them immortal after they asked the couple to join them xD Gah, I just couldn't get enough of them xD And Firo is such a gentlemen, to tackle Ennis onto the ground like that xD I was kinda shocked as well to find that Dallas Genoard was treated like... that. I mean, he was made into a statue for God's sake and ran away? How? It's really... confusing.

And then we're on to Jacuzzi and Nice. How brave of him to face the Rail Tracer like that, even though he was badly wounded and almost die. Nice didn't try to stop him as well and seemed to dare to fight alongside him when she has no fireworks left :/

Seriously, a very great and amazing ending, which makes me wonder why people called it a failure or disappointment. I like the unique plot and the twisted characters, which is why I gave it a ten instead of 9 :3

All hail to Narita Ryogo! <3

Such a great ending to the series. Everything was wrapped up nicely.

This Vino and Chane pairing seems odd yet cool. I wonder what's this Vino's remaining obligation to the Gandors.

The scenes of Firo , Ennis , the duo and the Gandors were done nicely.

I was really laughing when Szilard has his head flaring. Also liked the Firo and Ennis pairing. :D

Czeslaw learned to trust again his coimmortals. Jacuzzi and Nice in the train did also great.

Dallas certainly got his eternal drowning lol. That explains what he looks in the OP.

And lastly, the duo still made their last minute to be hilarious as ever. For 70 years, they're still epic. :D

What can I say. This is the first series I've marathoned just because it's awesome.

I'll probably rewatch again the first ep to confirm some scenes.

Definitely gets a 10/10 from me. Wanted to have another season of this. Now back to DRRR!! and oh yeah, have to watch also the OVA's.

It's a good series but I still think it had too many characters for it's own good. Hard to tell who was good/bad, who was immortal/mortal, and who was in what time period.

Was very enjoyable, but it probably could have been a bit tighter narrative-wise.

Great ending for an awesome series! <3 Loved how they were able to wrap everything up in this episode. Now I can't wait to watch the OVA. *A*

Love the fact that it was Firo who devoured Szilard. Serves that bastard right. >:) And I'm totally shipping Firo/Ennis. Much love! *w*

Rooting for Vino/Chane as well. They should totally get married nao. =)))

And Czes-kun! <3 Loved the moment where he started crying as Maiza placed his left hand on his head. Then he went to hug him. Aww. ;w;

10/10! ♥

Amazing series! Everything ended up pretty nicely, though I'll root for a better understanding about the whole plot after a re-watch.

I'd like to see all the immortals in the 21st century assembled, that would be so epic. Also to see if Chane and Vino ever found each other, since I assume they're immortal too, though I'm not quite sure.

Nontheless a great series, just splendid.

Very good anime. My main issue is how difficult the storyline is to follow until the second half of the season.

In all other fields, however, Baccano excels. Animation is fantastic. The fight scenes are brutal yet detailed. The English dub (the version I watched) cast some excellent voice actors who brought personality to their characters.

Average Cumulative Score: 8.65/10

I will watch the last three episodes and give my thoughts on them tomorrow.

That was pretty damn awesome. The way the timeline worked was genius, and the plot and action kept me on the edge of my seat.

This is a unique and odd anime that I'll never forget. A solid 9/10.

I'll def pick up the OVA after this... I wanna see more of RT and his lady ;)

Holy mother of god was that epic! i was going to drop it cause it didn't make any sense, then the episode revealing the Rail Tracer started clearing everything up!

I watched Durarara first, but Baccano! easily is alot better even though it only had 1/2 the episodes Durarara had, everything made more sense with Baccano. Characters were all fucking awesome, the music was pitch-perfect.

10/10. Favorited. Onwards to the OVAs!

I never really understood what the story was about, the relations between the characters or their motives. Or maybe I'm just too stupid for this show. I don't know. :/ Anyway, I feel that I can't rate this higher than a 5.

Uriel1988 did a good review of the series, which can be found on this page: http://myanimelist.net/anime/2251/Baccano!/reviews&p=5 He shares many of my thoughts.

But I still feel that I maybe missed something since there are so many who give this series 9s and 10s.

Am I the only one who knows that 13 wasn't the last episode...? It went to episode 16, not just 13. It showed mainly what happens with Vino and Chane's relationship, and it kind of helps make more sense of the anime. UGH. WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK 13 WAS THE LAST EPISODE? :/
Did no one else realize that Carol didn't show up either? She came back in the actual last episode..

That was a pretty good ending to a great anime. I loved seeing Ennis all happy, and the ending scene with Isaac and Maria. Took them a while to figure that out.

Great series and well worth a 9 (wish there was a 9.5 and on reviewing my scores I may have to bump down a couple of previous series I watched). I'm already zipping through the specials and will have to pick up the source novels when my Japanese is more fluent.

I agree with a lot of his points in that review. I'm way less critical of Baccano, though, and I am happy to sit back and enjoy the ride.

I do think that watching it a second time might be more enjoyable than the first, though. The number of characters alone makes it overwhelming (unless you have an excellent memory). Then to jumble the plot around just adds to the confusion.

Wow. Great anime. In an age were there's so much moe and slice of life repetitive garbage, it's great to see such an ambitious and unique show, that's not afraid to be original.

A solid 9/10 from me.

1930s. Tommy Guns. Awesome menswear. Unforgettable accents. Crazy action. Wild jazz.

10/10. The best anime I have ever watched in terms of art, sound, and plot.

The best part though, was the voices. And I watched it dubbed.

Awesome show! I must admit, I felt like dropping it after watching the first episode, since it was really so confusing and weird for an anime, but seeing all the positive reviews made me reconsider my decision. Boy am I glad I did!

An anime I with high rewatch value. Will eventually watch it with english dub next time.
I gave it a 9/10, because at times I found the duo not funny at all... also the ending was a bit.. cheesy xD And I somehow didn't enjoy the first 2 episodes much (mainly because I didn't know what the heck was going on..)
But other than that, nothing to complain about.. Really great anime and I absolutely love the OP - never skipped it, which I usually always do ^^
