The story is about, well a lot, but it begin with the after match of a accident on a train headed for New York in 1931. After, we get to know what happen on board the train, the famous "Flying Pussy Foot"; yes that's it's name; who it's happening to and why it's happening. While we get told the story of the train, we also get the back story to most of the main characters, set one year prior in 1930. There we get a mafia story viewed from all sides. These are the main time points but there are more of them, all small things who escalate to bigger things later on.
But the flaw with the story lie with it's story structure. The story takes place in four different points in time, 1930-1932 and 1711. With all these stories and their connection to each other it's telling the viewer, it can be hard to follow. They do explain why the story isn't linear, but if you're one who doesn't follow a story closely you may get lost.

All the characters for enjoyable and most imported fun to watch.
I believe the two the steal the show and run around with it are "Issac Dian" and "Maria Harvent", the comical relief characters of the show. The are people who just enjoy every part of their live to it's fullest and almost never is in a bad mood. Whatever the situation, be it digger for gold in a abandon mine in their underwear, to watching a room filled with blood from floor to ceiling, they keep up their carefree nature. When ever they are on screen, they always make me laugh, even when the place they are filled with tension.

The animation is good and the characters are great designed, nothing to write home about. But the music is really good. As a fan of jazz and saxophone, this music it just right down my ally.

Overall it's a great show with only a few points off. I would recommend the show to any anime watcher.
Even with the nonlinear story it's more than worth a watch.
