Baccano!
The official site looks nice, and from the description it sounds very interesting too, will probably have to look out for this.
TIAF07 Trailer
A.D. 1711 - Crossing the Atlantic Ocean, alchemists left their home countries heading for a new world. They obtained the “Immortal Drink” from a devil. Those who drank it became immortal, and can only be destroyed by being absorbed into another immortal's right hand.
1930s, New York - People living in the shadowy side of society, a boy named Filo and his boss, the Miser of Martillo Family, a stupid thieving couple, Isaac and Millia, the three Gandol mafia brothers, a delinquent boy named Dallas and his sister Eve, the 200 year old alchemist Cerrad and his assistant Ennis, lived unrelated lives until Cerrad rediscovers the “Immortal Drink”, and their fates become intertwined.
Aboard the Flying Pussy Foot, a transcontinental train from Chicago to New York, there are many kinds of people. For example, Goose and Sharne of the terrorist group “Remlace”, street gangs led by Jacuzzi and Nice, a murderer, Ladd, and his fiancée Lua, Senator Beriam and his daughter Mary, a delinquent boy, a conductor, an informer, etc. There are not only humans on the train, however… The legendary “Rail Tracer”, a ghost who removes passengers from the back cars, also appears.

yea it sounds really interesting i will look forward for this
-
Just watched the trailer, this certainly looks interesting...
Seems like we'll have a lot of gangsters and mobsters in the series, hopefully it won't be short on murders, assesinations, and action. I wonder if they'll use some real people from the time period... Al Copone (even if he's from Chicago), John Dillinger, The Brady Gang, etc..

This is pretty unique, and was quite enjoyable I must say. There's so many damn characters though.
-
So many things happening, i guess it will be take sometime to get to actual plot.
-
The shows definatly interesting but it has a hell of alot going on. I'll stick with it a few more eps.
-
sounds crazy i give it a shot
-
also just watched the first episode , and indeed it has alot of interesting characters all with their own story going on, I hope next episode is going to explain alot of things.
-
whoa... i really liked the ep. immortals eh? i guess a LOT of things could happen. this and the VP has the best VA ever!
-
Oi, this is not half bad, if it developes it might actually replace FMA in my heart ..somehow the style reminds me..
-

can't wait for the next one.

Baccano! ~ Episode 3 (version 2) ~ Ayu ~ mkv format
decided i'm going to go with the speed subbers for now, i really don't have the patience to hold out on the possibility that a better group will pick it up...
-
ep3 started like the writers went completely crazy... i have no idea what went on.
after that... why were Miria and Isaac in the hat shop? i'm confused (and highly entertained!)
-
This is one crazy series. Temporal linearity is an unknown concept to the script, and even though they do seem to randomly drop those 1930 and 1931 year marks on the screen, still it's half the time impossible to know if the things being displayed were in the past or the present. And the number of characters is of course daunting. Though at the same time, because it's such a crazy series, it's remarkable how you still can, kind of, keep track of all of them. After all, if you can't expect any clearly advancing story of clear main characters, it's useless to even try to, which alleviates the viewer's situation considerably.

Just watched the first 3 episodes. This series is fucked up... that's all I'll say for now. So who's the lead character?
-
Yeah, Munsu took the words right out of my mouth, this series is pretty fucked up. I think the main character is Firo...they indicated that he was an "ideal" main character in the first episode and in episode 3 Firo saved Szilard Quates(the scientist who made the immortality potion). Its been good so far though and Ayu is subbing the series at a good pace, though I'll probably archive Solar's version.
-
No main character. I think what this mode of storytelling is trying to do is a Bokurano style of narration. The story is being told from many POVs, and there is no single character truly standing out. Everyone is practically sharing the spotlight equally as of now.
-
If I had to choose someone it would be Isaac and the chick with him.
-
Confusing as hell. The timeline keeps jumping around. Damn enjoyable show though.
I'm for Isaac and Maria.:cool:
