Baccano: even the Shinji is awesome.

(He won me in the scene where it turns out he's crying for the guys threatening him, cause'a how hard his badass crew of hoodlums is about to fuck them up).

Just started reading the novels. It looks like in the novels the story is being told to a Japanese tourist in New York by Maiza , but I'm not 100% sure it's him.

Also, I love the demon in this.

Quote:

“Did you call me a ‘demon’? Ah, it’s all right. But have any of you have seen God or angels? A word such as ‘evil’ only exists from the contrast of comparison for the first time. Ah, never mind; 103 years have passed since I have been specially summoned. It would have been wonderful if this happened 3 years earlier, but ...ah, never mind. Ah, ‘ah, never mind’ is my pet phrase. Don’t pay it too much mind... I am directly transmitting my voice into your brains, so this thing about pet phrases is a little strange. Ah, never mind.”

Why didn't anyone tell me Baccano! was so awesome? I mean really really awesome.
I mean it's like they took a bunch of great movies and then put them all together and made this show.

Also has anyone else noticed that a lot of the best things ever have trains involved or take place on trains or mention a train or just have something to do with trains in general. I mean Baccano!, Full Metal Alchemist, The Untouchables, The Fugitive, The first Matrix movie (subways count as trains), Hellboy, Blues music, I mean the list goes on and on and on...just pointing that out...wondering if anyone else saw that pattern

Fifth had a whole thread about how awesome it was not too long ago, and I hardly think that was the first mention this forum had seen of it. We can't be blamed that you don't pay attention.

To be fair it's not like anyone listens to Fifth...

I watched this show after the last thread you guys spent recommending it, and I've got to admit that it's freakin' fantastic.

It's probably the first time I've seen a really disjointed storyline pulled off well, and I'm still amazed at how easily they made me relate to over a dozen characters in only sixteen episodes.

Also, Ladd Russo is pretty much my new favourite homicidal maniac.

Just got through Episode 8, "Isaac and Miria Unintentionally Spread Happiness Around Them". I'm sold on Baccano! being my favorite show of everything I've seen this year, and I haven't even finished it yet.

Everyone is great for the most part, but my god Jacuzzi, I can't like you because of that voice.

And I totally take back this Jacuzzi hate I threw around before. Jacuzzi Splot's VA is totally awesome, though it takes a few episodes to like him. The only character I'm honestly not caring about is Lua, and that's just because she hasn't been prominent yet. Hoping that'll change so I can see what the hell her deal is >.>

Her deal is she is in no way a hidden badass and we never learn shit about her . Weakest part of the show imo.

So after re-watching the first episode, I realize there is one scene that I can't quite place.

At 18:30 into the first episode, you can see a woman attack Issac with a spear. In the background, you can see Jacuzzi, Nice, Ennis, Chane, along with several others.

So, what the heck is with all those extra people and when is that scene supposed to take place? (After they become immortal obviously, but that's not much to go on.)

My best guess is this is something from one of the later novels that the anime doesn't cover.

Also, it is MUCH easier to follow the second time through. Shame there isn't more to watch.

Since we never learn shit, how can we say she's not a hidden badass? She could be the most hidden badass of all.
