3. Quick Review

I. Story and Characters

Baccano! has a very unique way of story-telling. It links three stories that are totally out of sync at the beginning of the series and quickly shows the audience how they were all a part of a bigger picture.

The show is fast-paced, violent, funny. It accomplishes something so complex in just 13 episodes, and that’s the sign of a true masterpiece.

The characters of Baccano! are one of the best set of characters in all of anime. They have unique quirks, and every one of them is equally fleshed out. Their development is commendable, and even they are over-the-top, it never gets dull.

II. Animation and Sound

The animation is smooth as heck! The fast-paced action, the blunt comedic moments, the perfectly timed pauses, every single animated panel of Baccano is full of energy and life!

The soundtrack is equally good as other aspects of the anime. You’d feel the suspense, the intense light-hearted comedy, and the non-serious violence through the entirety of the soundtrack!
