Summary:
Each of the stories in the series involves several unrelated plots intersecting and crossing each other as events spiral farther and farther out of control. Immortal alchemists, mafia operated speakeasies, and many other elements of pulp fiction mashed together for a world straight out of the movies.
A show that rewards me with genuine good plot for sticking with it? And it doesn't take 500 plus episodes to do it? BLASPHEMY.
Baccano! has plenty of different plot lines, that at first will seem to have very little to do with each other but as the series moves forward you find little bread crumbs that hint at a larger picture. And when you finally get to see how all of it connects into a massive plot, it doesn't much get much better than that.
Unlike some anime series that just drag on FOREVER, Baccano! is a quick paced series that packs one of the best stories I've seen a very long time.
