During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis, are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. In addition, a war between the mafia groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality. Based on the award winning light novels of the same name, this anime adaptation follows several events that initially seem unrelated, both in time and place, but are part of a much bigger story—one of alchemy, survival and immortality. Merging these events together are the kindhearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people, all of them with their own hidden ambitions and agendas, and creating lifelong bonds and consequences for everyone involved.

~~~I originally wrote a much longer review for Baccano! back in 2019 on MAL, but here's an edited and far more organised review, because I’m forever eager to talk about my favourite anime to anyone who’ll listen. Also, this is my first review posted to Anilist, so I’m very excited to share my though…
Read full review on AniList →__Spoiler Free:__ The title of the show Baccano! means ruckus or chaos in a certain language, and it is executed perfectly throughout the show. The concept of "Six Degrees of Separation" says that any two individuals on Earth can be related to each other through less than or equal to six connections…

There are few things quite like Baccano. Or rather, Baccano is like many things combined together in a ridiculous gory romp. Baccano is perhaps best described as Highlander meets The Godfather plus a battle royal on a train as directed by Quentin Tarantino. The basic plot is such: there is a newspa…
Baccano is a highly acclaimed anime and you will see a lot of people saying how its confusing story makes perfect sense by the end. If I didn’t see those comments I would have dropped this anime before finishing the first episode. After finishing it, I can say that Baccano’s is told in an incomprehe…

Read full review on AniList →Some shows just radiate this powerful air of being insanely cool, and Baccano, with its interweaving mafia storylines tied to urban legends, wacky thieves and the secret of immortality, is definitely one such series that I got this vibe from. It's all of course helped along by the groovy, jazzy soun…

Read full review on AniList →Baccano is one of the most refreshing Anime I have watched in a long time. The entire style just separates itself from traditional anime; from the art, narrative structure, setting, and really the feel of Baccano just do not feel like traditional Japanese anime. And because I watched it in the Dub t…
Read full review on AniList →Anachronic storytelling. This narrative is a highly confusing, yet if you use it correctly, can be a highly successful way to tell a story. Baccano! is an anime that decided to use this narrative and does it right. An anime adaptation of the light novel of the same name by Ryogo Narita, who is the…
Read full review on AniList →*Spoilers* This is my first review on anilist so bear with me. Baccano! Is adored and praised by fans who somehow see past the fact that the show isn't coherent in any way! The first episode is an amalgamation of nothingness, as it starts off with two narrators who would seem to be protagonists, b…

There was Yuru Yuri, which, while not the most exciting, still was somewhat fun for me cause it was CGDCT. But Baccano I just never under…
Read full review on AniList →I still have no idea what the heck a "Baccano" is, lol. [ __be wary of possible spoilers__] What sells Baccano! for me, was its ensemble cast.
