What is the basis of a movie? Well, You need a protagonist, an antagonist to go head to head with the protagonist. You also need to put them in a situation were the protagonist must stop the antagonist from eather doing something evil, stealing the leading lady, world domenation ect. That is called the plot. You can also throw one of your characters into other situations or put them in one the audiance would never expect, that is called the side plot and plot twist. That is what makes a movie the form of entertaiment it is today, and since the dawn of moving pictures.

Baccano! takes that concept and twisted and turns its guts out.
The Story is pretty much about a train ride in 1933 abord the Flying Pussyfoot, and all the terror and blood shed that occured there on its fateful ride. Meanwhile in New York, we get a whole cast of diffrent mafia characters, and we even go back to 1777 abord a ship were the ship crew learn of immortality.
You think you know whats going on from that little sum up plot? well, you won't. Baccano has a full 18 character cast. Everybody is diffrent in their own way, whether it be good or bad. But they are all a joy to watch, all the interactions they have at diffrent places and diffrent years helps unfold the story as it slowly moves along with each episode getting longer then the next.
Baccano! is something all movie, music and anime lovers will enjoy, and if payed close attention or on a second viewing (trust me you will watch it again) you will learn it is much more then just a watching experiance, its an experican in art, story telling and plot design that is truly unique and 100% original.

Take care everyone.
