But before you watch it, I would suggest keeping a close eye on the years that appear during the anime because they are what makes up the story.
The whole anime is based on American mafia, gangs and thugs. You can say it's got the kind of Mafia feel to it. With Tommy Guns, clubs, gang wars etc. So, don't expect anything japanese here. It's all-round american mafia. But there are still good people and bad people in it.
Story 9/10:
I really can't explain it well since it's quite messed up. But here's a brief summary. The anime links the events occuring during these years; 1930,1931,1932 with a few scenes for some past years to give a better storyline. These are not in order and one episode may start at 1932 and then show 1930 and in the end show 1931. But, as you progress towards the end, the story fixes itself together and the whole picture can be seen at the end. So don't worry if you don't get it during the show. I left it in between quite a few times because I got confused but it's pretty clear in the end.
I'll summarize the years here according to a main event:
1930: Before departure of the Flying PussyFoot
1931: During the travel of the Flying PussyFoot
1932: After arrival of the Flying PussyFoot
Characters 8/10:
This show has a lot of main characters. Almost everyone plays an important role in the story. Each year shows the characters and what they were doing. Some characters are straight up comedy shows while others are psychotic killers. All the characters have something unique to them and it's pretty interesting.
Enjoyment 8/10:
This anime is really enjoyable for people who like anime with a good, twisty story. Many will be turned away due to the confusing storyline or mediocre animation but it's an anime worth watching.
Overall, I liked it. It's a good watch. It's based a little of alchemy (the concept, not action like in FMAB). So, give it a try. It's a nice anime.
