Baccano!

I'm a sucker for stories that take place during the prohibition era. Don't know why, But I love the historical period. Heck, I would have loved to live during that age of turmoil and well-dressed people. And that's why Baccano! was one of my most anticipated series of 2007.

I could say Baccano is about 2 ****** lovers that cause unsuspecting troubles everywhere they go. I could say it's about a dominance war between the most influential mafia families of New york. I could say it's a murder story set during a train hijacking. I could say it's the unfortunate story of a no-good man and his compassionate sister. Or that it's about Immortal alchemists and a ragtag band of thieves led by a crybaby.

Guess what? Baccano is about ALL of those last topics. Like a tropical smoothie, the mix actually manages to blend so many genres into one hell of a story that deserves a second go to be understood fully (as the narrative is presented in a non-linear way that is bound to confuse many).

Ok. And since there's not really a way for me to present a good story synopsys without spoiling the hell out of it, I'm going to tell you that you should get your rear in gear and download/torrent/import (whatever floats your boat) this 13 episode rollercoaster. You won't regret it.

I love this series, great story, great characters, great lot twists, violent, absurd and funny and with a great jazzy soundtrack and music. Lot's of great metaphors.

I haven't seem much anime. I only have two anime DVDs, one is Princess Mononoke and the other is Batman Gotham Knight.

 

[AngryPinkMoose]

Death Note of course.

 

[GoodGame]

I'm an anime nooB, but I have to go with most of the Ghost in The Shell series, especially the two recent series (2nd Gig, etc...). Most thoughtful anime that I've ever seen. Afro Samurai gets an honorable mention.

Any way to find the last episodes? I think that i have watched up to 80 something, could be wrong.

 

[Shekwan]

I never watch anime but my friend has a film about some dystopian city where it always rains and it's kind of like the film Metropolis. Apparently it took years to make, I think it came out in the early 2000s. Any idea what it's called? We always watch when high and it's a complete mindf***.

I like the one where the schoolgirls from outer space have to capture all the dragonballs in order to become Pokemon masters.
