Baccano!.... Overall, it was a very enjoyable anime, with my enjoyment being 9/10. Because I don't have much to say beforehand, I will start with the more detailed review regarding each aspect of the anime.

Plot: 9/10
The plot for the anime is probably the highest factor overall, and I would have given it a 10/10 except for the fact that I never give 10/10 to any animes (even if it does indeed deserve it). Now, the plot is not a single linear storyline, in fact; the plot has three stories that focus upon: the mafia, the situation aboard the train, and the immortals. The best thing about the plot, is probably that even though the three main stories are quite diverse, they manage to connect them all in ways I cannot say, due to spoilers. The plot manages to shift through time and different stories in a way that makes it all the more interesting, as while it does that, viewers are able to connect each story to each other piece by piece; and being such that the story is extremely fast paced, it is more enjoyable to the viewers. As the show progresses, you will learn more and more about the characters and the plot itself, making you think during the process.

Characters: 8/10
The next best thing about the anime, is the character design. Although the anime dosn't have a main character, the characters still never fail to impress, each character is very unique and has their own background and story. While the show progresses, new things will be revealed about the characters. The characters can range from being funny, to being a psychotic killer, and that is mainly one of the aspects to why this anime is amazing. The characters are also connected to each other, just as the plot is. finally, the most enjoyable part of the characters is that they all have an important role to play, and the choices and actions they make can create a large effect upon the plot of the story.

Cinematography: 7/10
The cinematography was pretty good, although it could have been better. Buuuut... then again it was made during 2007... Anyways, regarding the animations and art, I think it was OK, as it very smooth and the art had a very 1930's feel to it. The animations got through and during action scenes, it managed to feel very "refreshing". Now, the main part of the cinematography in the anime was the sound. The sound had a very 1930's feel to it, and managed to give appropriate sounds during appropriate moments; ranging from sad to ecstatic type of music.

Overall, my enjoyment of the anime was quite well and my final "grade" for it is a 9/10. This anime was an instant classic and it deserves to be watched by many.
I hope you enjoyed my review, thanks for your time! :)
