The one word I can say about this anime is: FUN. This anime is pure fun. This is a very different anime than most people are use to, but it will grow on you immediately. For starters, it takes place in 1930's New York, unlike most anime which is based in japan. Everything from the accents in the dub (trust me the dub is awesome) to the smooth, jazz music in the anime and theme (which sounds so fun I never skip it) all has an excellent 30's look and feel. The story is written in a very odd way, in that the order is all over the place. Thus, you will need to pay attention or you may miss something. However, this doesn't bring the anime down, because it is done in a way that keeps you interested, and excited to see what happens next. It's not that the story is complex, it's just that the order is everywhere, so you don't need to worry about deep analysis or anything, but you still won't wanna miss anything. All the stories and order do tie into each other, and the payoff is worth it. The strongest aspect of the anime is the characters, they are all so much fun to watch. Most of the characters are criminals: Mafioso, thieves, killers, but they all have such likable and enjoyable personalities that you can't help but love them. The anime is also only 16 episodes, which is a good length, so if you have a day where you don't want to do anything all day but chill out in bed and watch some anime, check out Baccano! for a wild ride.
