Baccano!

[Nai]

The ending was quite disappointing to me considering how bloody awesome the show had been up to it. It was just a bit too happy for my tastes and I really did not like how Huey was left hanging as the guy totally screamed awesome villain material. When he popped up during the conversation between Vino and Chane I just got some amazing goosebumps. I just know I'd love this guy so it's a shame they showed so precious little of him. What they did show was totally awesome though.

The whole Ennis deal came off as painstakingly cheesy and I have no idea why the hell Szilard was dumb enough to let the broad live despite her gradually spilling all of his secrets to Firo and crew. Sure, he wanted to kill the bitch slowly but considering she was living on his will alone I think it would have been appropriate of him to shut her blabbering mouth up. Granted, I doubt it would have mattered much as Maiza was there too. Oh well, I wish the old geezer had gone out with a bit more style.

Isaac and Miria were as usual absolutely hilarious. I rarely enjoy characters who are designed more or less purely for comical appeal but these two managed to win me over with their zany antics. All in all Baccano! definitely ends as one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched in a long time. Awesome character gallery, rich plot, delicious violence and an opening that puts pretty much everything out there to shame. Loved it!

It was pretty much given that not nearly all characters would get as much screen time as they really would have deserved. Low episode number and high number of characters can't lead to any other result. So, keeping that in mind, I didn't count that as a negative factor for the show.

What comes to the cheesiness of the ending, I hardly expected anything else. While the show presented some really gruesome graphical violence and deaths, it didn't give me, for a second, the kind of impression it would end with any sadness. That would have clashed with the style, especially considering Isaac and Miria were such central characters and they were incarnations of happy-go-luckiness. And only the worst kind of sadist worth a permaban would have hoped something bad would happen to either of those two, or to anyone close to them causing them grief.

Well finally watched the last couple of episodes, not much to say just that it was a great series. I've seen that there are quite a few novels for this series, so maybe we can get more in the future. That aside, here are the first two episosdes from a dvd source:

Also, it seems that there will be some dvd only episodes released in 2008, can't wait for them.

An inherent quality of excellence is not diluted by numbers:

Episode 14 - BSS

Edit: An interesting episode. Doesn't look like some empty extra one, either. This was as full of... um... well, whatever Baccano episodes are filled with as the actual series eps. It was also good to see more of Huey and Chane Laforet. Especially Huey was left a bit mysterious character in the original series. Although it's not like this clip would have revealed everything but nevertheless it was good. The wrench dude was strange and I don't remember such a dude from the first 13 eps, but he surely fits the series... (Although he got too much screen time and Miria and Isaac too little.)

Well, I'm going to wait and see if Ayu releases in the next couple days, else I'll just grab this version and watch it.

[High Wind]

Baccano 14 huh? Wiki says there are other ones past 13 too. Wonder when those will be out.
Anyways, it was nice to see Isaac and Miria again. Also good to see Elmer, the smile guy. I always wondered where he was during the series original run. I didn't really like that wrench guy, seems almost like a carbon copy of Ladd, who talks a bit more.

Ive seen up to 15, and it isn't finished, so at least 16 should come out. I hope for much more though.

Baccano needs more Chane and Rachel.

Aww... Chane has totally bewitched Rail Tracer, and completely unintentionally, no less. Poor girl has no idea what to do with the dude. A great ep even if it was devoid of Isaac and Miria.

We've finally reached the conclusion to this crazy story...or is there more?

I liked the scene with Rail Tracer and Rachel at the cafe. Rachel is win.

This story had no beginning or end, Carol.

It was a good episode. Certainly had the feeling of a final episode, as well, which is in a sense pretty sad, considering we already got three extra eps.

Rail Tracer might be my favorite character after Isaac and Miria, despite the little screen time he got before these extra eps. He's crazy for sure but only seemed to punish the bad guys and even made the sad Chane happy.

Favorite characters in order:

Ennis
Chane
Filo
