I don't understand all this love for Baccano honestly. I have seen tons of animes in my life and this one is just your average anime, nothing more. The animation/art is pretty bad, some characters highly annoy me (like this new Graham which is as disturbing as he is unnecessary for the show), some others are more to my taste, but overall I find the cast to be too big and not that great.

On the bright side, the script is pretty damn good despite being a huge mess (I know it's stylish but honestly the series would gain to be a little more "normal") and the music is perfect for the show. I'm always torn between the idea of a brilliant show and of a truly uninteresting and cheap one when I think about Baccano, so I never really know how to rate it, but for sure it doesn't deserve all those praises I believe.

In fact, before I became a MAL member, I didn't really follow the opinions and thoughts of fellow anime fans on forums, so I would never have imagined that this anime was known and loved (8.75, 18th best rated anime on MAL, I mean COME ON, it's only Baccano, not a great masterpiece...), as I always considered it to be a minor anime, not deserving to be watched by a large audience, and it was such a niche anime that no one would ever want to watch it (a niche among a niche, leaves room for a lot of dogs ;)). But I guess I understand that it appeals specifically to otakus, that may be why it works. Not for me unfortunately.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Well the wait was so worth it!!!

Graham is great, and Tomokazu Sugita has done a brilliant job.
'Amazing! I'm a genius!
Sorry, I just wanted to use the word "genius".'

Well I think he is... I mean, dismantling a car in mid air?
Ok a handsome psychotic genius..
Love and peace!!!!!!!!!

From the preveiw looks like Claire and Chane meet next episode!

Awesome episode. I almost forgot how awesome Baccano was. The characters are great as always and... that wrench guy is pure awesomeness and his encounter with Ladd was EPIC. Hopefully the other two episodes will be subbed soon.

@Jacut:
If you don't like Baccano, why did you watch all of it and why are you starting to watch the OVA?
Then you say you think Baccano is average/bad, but you gave it a high rating (8/10). What's up with that? You're making no sense at all.

Mean: 7.6
Jacut's scores average about 0.01 points higher than the average scores posted by other members.
Based on his average I think it's easy to conclude that he finds it slightly above average but overrated. An opinion many in this thread would disagree with of course :P

Graham was damn awesome. Tomokazu Sugita did a real good job coming out of his normal sarcastic roles. It was great to see Isaac and Miria again too xD

Fuck yeah, awesome! Graham went right into my favorite charaters after this episode. I've been too long without Baccano now, so I loved seeing Isaac and Miria again too. <3

And yes, Tomokazu did a great job, made Graham even more awesome.

Ladd and Graham fight was awesome, Firo is still the cutest thing, Huey is a god of bishies, Rachel is back ( (((: ), and that Ennis/Chez hand-in-hand walk way just way too kawai. And the beginning with dominoes... just pure win.

Next episode Chane and Vino together... and probably Eve, too. Yay.

I really wish more novels were translated...

O god this brings back memories...of 6 months ago when i finished Baccano. ;-;

Anyway, solid start, but not up to the regular anime series' glory quite yet. I like how they seem to have kept the jumping around between time periods. Also love that there are so many plots, though Graham Spector's looks to be the main one in this OVA.

Little Chane made me *-* srsly.

EDIT: Chane, Vino, Jacuzzi and Ladd are listed as main characters. woot there. But Ennis is only supporting? boo.

I didn't like this very much. Aside from OH GOD LADD <3 and Isaac & Miria it was pretty mediocre. Graham is a spastic inferior version of Ladd and I'm really damn sick of hearing Sugita doing his Gintoki-type voice everywhere (deliberately lame voice-acting is hilariously appropriate in Gintama, but for fuck's sake please keep it there) . And then there's the typical disjointed feel of OVA/movies that come out after a series is done.

I agree. It was fun for a short time, but it became a bit repetitive. And Graham is far less GAR than Ladd is anyway.
Hopefully Sugita will tone it down a bit and we'll get more Claire and Ladd in the upcoming OVA's.

It was a decent watch, but it didn't measure up to the real Baccano!

Graham is....wow....I can't really describe him well other than being a maniac with world views even more twisted than Vino's. The domino part was pretty funny. You would think Czes had abandoned his dark side after meeting up with Maiza, but I guess it's good that he's still himself. To conclude, this looks promising. True, it's not as good as the main anime series (whatever happened to the animation here), but hey that's sad,sad,sad,sad talk. It's time for some fun and sad talk with the critics being sad and the fans having fun, eh?
