「SYNOPSIS]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, a war between the mafia groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality.
Based on the award-winning light novels of the same name, Baccano! follows several events that initially seem unrelated, both in time and place, but are part of a much bigger story—one of alchemy, survival and immortality. Merging these events together are the kindhearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people, all of them with their own hidden ambitions and agendas, and creating lifelong bonds and consequences for everyone involved.

「CHARACTERS」
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I really like every character in Baccano! "- That was the first statement that I threw on my journey with this series. The characterization of them, the way they come to life and become downright unique, that's what makes the cast of this anime a gem. finally they are the ones that move the plot and who make every intimate scenes. Explain why we love the exuberant and extravagant pair of thieves, Isaac and Miria; the sadistic murderer, Ladd Russo, the new and skillful member of the Hammer family, Firo Prochainezo; the crybaby but capable bandleader, Jacuzzi Splot; the moneyed but determined Genoard Eve, which only wants to find his brother; among several other characters full of mystery and interesting twists in the story, it is difficult. Why? Because you have to see them to really understand the great presence they have on the screen, this captivating presence that will only make you enjoy your presence on screen. I think everyone fell in love with Isaac and Miria (because they are the great icon of this series) but each of the other characters are a universe in itself and there is no doubt that you will find more than one of his stories of your special delight.

「MUSIC」
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
" Guns N Roses" Paradise Lunch is one of the OP more iconic we will be able to find the middle, who never cease to be mentioned so perfect for the history it is, with that touch the years 30, the presentation of characters, the small synopsis of the episode in the middle of OP, all is configured to make this OP one of the most classic we can find in this industry. The ED is "Calling" Oda Kaori loses impact when compared to the ED, is a nice ballad, however does not have any visual appeal or emotional impact that engages the series. We can not say the same for the lovely soundtrack created by Makoto Yoshimori (Durarara !!, Hotarubi no Mori e, Natsume's Book of Friends, Kuragehime) and especially one of the best cast of voice actors that you will find in the industry ( really! the gem that are in this anime seiyuu is undeniable).
The spectacular way as each of the characters has a unique interpretation and A-1 is simply hard to ignore in this anime. I dedicate hours to appoint each of them, because there is no seiyuu that failed to interpret the thousand and one wonders in this anime.

「PERSONAL」
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Baccano! It is many things: It's pure style is synonymous with doing things right in every aspect it's to risk something different and triumphs, is the anime you should not miss or stop seeing. The big names who are responsible for this work are Takahiro Omori Noboru Takagi in the position of director and composer respectively. They are also important names in the studio Brains Base as they have been responsible for greatest hits including Natsume Yuujinchou, Hotarubi no Mori e, Durarara !! or Kuragehime. The anime will take care of the writer's work Ryohgo Narita, also known for being who subsequently wrote Durarara !!, which was also adapted to animation enjoying great success. However, it is with Baccano !! who became known after winning the Gold Award of the 9th edition of Dengeki Shosetsu Taishō, one of the literary prize focused on more important light novels in Japan and which has served to uncover important authors and works tale as Hataraku Maou-sama or Spice and Wolf. It's amazing how it is an anime that envelops and captivates almost immediately, so it is impossible to detach it. This anime is Baccano! With a narrative completely unusual, this will encourage you poses a puzzle. How do you tell a story? Where do you start? Where did you end it? Who is the main character? Baccano teaches you that there is no straight answer to all these questions and to tell a story is much more complex than one would imagine. Therefore what Baccano! made in 2007 is telling a story from several different perspectives and in disarray. From narrate an event from the point of view of each of the characters, which have a past, present and future only to tell, which are added one after another to begin forming a sharp image at the end of the voyage. With a clear message, this series show us the beginning, end or development of a story is relative and depends on the point of view of anyone who decides to tell it. Unforgettable characters, mysteries and unexpected twists, a charming narrative form, a soundtrack of luxury, one of the most iconic OP in the industry. Baccano! It is one of those acclaimed anime that perhaps has not been as widespread as their counterparts. After seeing it I dare say that I consider it a "Must" and even a classic in the industry. One of those animes that anyone who comes to this world of entertainment should dare to see. In 13 episodes, and 3 OVAs that do nothing but add more to the fun, Baccano! It is a work that always dazzles so strong it is and how well it performs in all aspects.

It's a great story with great characters and excellent technical section. Overall, I think it's one of those animes you can not miss because there are very few like this anime in the market. With an interesting narrative form, great moments and revelations, awesome characters, I think Baccano! It is indeed a classic that I hope everyone can see.
[–]CONS
I read that can be confusing, because of its narrative form that does not follow a chronological order, but I personally think that while it may bewilder quickly that obstacle is passed and the story does nothing but get better with each chapter and revelation.
