I don’t give an overall 10/10 easily or without giving it a good night of sleep and reflection.
It’s not just about the story, or the incredibly funny Isaac and Miria or the other absurd (in a good way) characters - the greatness in this series is in the way the story is told.
Story (9/10)
Life isn’t simple, time isn’t simple – they only move forward. Baccano! gives you a story out of chrnological or spatial order, with comedy, action and supernatural elements (very well developed and mixed with mystery). The specials are even crazier (again, in a good way), and those 2 special episodes, finish the story very well.
Character (8/10)
The characters won’t develop or progress, and in this particular case is enjoyable, because is as if they exist in a bubble of time, where the lucky viewer can just see a bit. You’ll learn more about them with the progress of the story, and that hooked me.
Enjoyment (10/10)
How I miss the energy and Isaac/Miria excitment. The narrative is quite free-style, I mean don’t expect a beginnig, a climax and an end, at least in this super convencional order.
Art (10/10)
Both the designs and the action scenes, are very well made.
Sound (10/10)
The jazzy soundtrack is wonderful - mysterius, seductive and fast-paced when it needs to.
Watch it!
Hope you enjoyed reading my review.
