Story
I honestly feel that Baccono has a highly unique way of portraying and moving its plot. That result of the events you see is shown to you by episode one however this is one of those shows where you have zero context into the world and a better part of the show is spent getting your feet grounded. But its in this feet grounding that you come to enjoy the show. You spend so long trying to figure out whats happening that you cna become kind of lost. This blast of fun is also Baccono showing you its greatest weakness. It has no clue how its pacing can hurt a viewers interest. If you are like me you really become swept up in the madness and as such your suspension of disbelief is there to begin with. However if you don't buy into this same strength the show really does die to begin with as it drags you through its thirteen episode series. However when the plot really kicks in it difficult not to feel the fun and wacky characters as they manipulate the plot. Baccono simply is the character driven narrative done well.
Chraracters
As a memtioned beofre Baccano is about characters driving the story. Plot doesn't really happen to our characters but the characters create the plot. With no real main protagonist we really get to watch as our countless characters really take over and live within the setting. The 20s were a wild time and out characters fit that. From mob bosses to immortals we really get to see a truly dynamic cast. Its characters relationships that drive the narrative. This creates a issue becuase if you don't care for these characters then the plot is ridiculous and the story flounders. Baccano is quite simply a show that hopes that you buy in because it really has no other place but to shine if that happens.
Sound/ Animation
Im not really a big sound amd animation guy. In all honestly ua long as it isn't terrible i cna put up with it. But Baccano shines here as well with clean character desgins that a farly memorable and smooth fantastic animation. The dub is probably one of the best dubs i have ever heard and if you like dub this is the prefered way of watching. If you don't its still solid. Nothing to complain about here
Enjoyment
Personal enjoyment can only be a score up two because its clouds the objective reality of how strong the show is outside of me asa person. And because i was caught up in the world of Baccano (Firo is my bae). This passes with flying colors.
Quite simply Baccano is fantastically fun and fanatically exicting hence why i would give it a 9/10
