Baccano! is a fun romp that combines an intricate plot with interesting characters and an excellent English voice cast. Baccano! Is basically an anime that takes place over many decades. Where this anime triumphs is the satisfying blend of realism and fantasy. The story while very weird due to the time-skips, is detailed,fun,and frankly just ridiculous in the best possible way. The characters are all well developed and interesting with my favorites being Jacuzzi Splot and Firo Prochainezzo. The whole set of subjects this anime tackles go from the mafia,demons, and even immortality(which plays a major part in the plot). The setting is also great being in the prohibition era and the English voice work definitely captures the raw essence of the time period and was generally a nice touch. This anime definitely won't appeal to everyone it's subject matter,plot structure, and massive cast of characters might not float everyone's boat. But if you want something with good plot depth, great characters, exceptional music,and subliminal voice work,give this one a shot you won't be disappointed.
