>It is 2020 and I am forgotten
Nu-Zig Forums doesn't talk about Baccano!, and that's a damn shame. Unique setting for an anime, unique storytelling structure and literally every single character is amazing. It's even one of the rare shows with an English dub that's better than the subtitles. Baccano! appreciation thread. Which character is the best?
Baccano!

Ladd Russo, he's such an endearing little psychopath

I should rewatch this, it was fun. And yeah, I liked the dubbed version and probably would rewatch it with dubs.
Can't recall the characters well enough to pick a clear fave
Jason Bennett
His train-top fight with Chane(?) is fucking kino.

It ended on a cliffhanger, bro. The fuck do you want from us?
Jacob Murphy
Overrated trash from a period of time where people were grasping for anything that could validate anime as a "mature" hobby. Same with Eden of the East. Doesn't hold up to any of the originals from the 2010s or hell just this year that run miles around its writing.
Asher James
I imagine many people dropped the show at the start due to the way the story is presented
>best character
Isaac and Miria easily, I just love their whole dynamic and how goofy they are
Nathaniel Flores
Isaac and Miria were the only ones worth caring about.
Oliver Perez
Are the novels finished?
David Jones
Aren't you an edgy one, eh? What 2010s originals are written that much better than Baccano?
Isaiah Kelly
Why didn't it get more adaptions like Durarara did?
Hudson Robinson
Didn't the DRRR anime staff found a new studio to make S2? I guess Baccano just wasn't lucky enough to have that staff. Also DRRR was a bigger hit because of fujos, as far as I remember.
Gavin Carter
Durarara had the whole overhanging thing of Celty's head and Ragnarok that were needed to properly close a bunch of stories. Baccano fully wrapped up the rail tracer incident, the aftermath, revealed who the demon was etc etc such that not making more didn't hurt the sales of what they did make
Jaxon Peterson
Japan hated it apparently.
Evan Robinson
Feels bad man, shame on fujos for not supporting men in 1930's dapper suits too
Kayden Nguyen
Time and again the Japs show they have shit taste.
Angel Gray
I believe you, but I'm still curious to see a source on that. I guess that the nips still have a very isolationist, self-centric culture compared to other countries. Foreign setting like Baccano or Otoyomegatari are pretty rare.

>unique storytelling structure
There is nothing unique or clever about taking three LN novels and going Vol.1Ch1 -> Vol.2Ch1 - > Vol.3Ch1 ->Vol.1Ch2... It's the very definition of pretentiousness that impresses only gullible retards and serves no artistic purpose beyond hiding the fact that two out of those three volumes are boring shit where nothing happens.
The series as a whole is overrated shlock that tries so hard to be le quirky it comes off as cringe. It is rightfully forgotten in a world where a billion of better similar shows by Shaft and Gainax/Trigger exist.
Adam Foster
Not him but it sold a total of 6,334 disks, maybe they didn't hate it, but it wasn't that popular there.
Oliver Phillips
Even the author stopped talking about it, what are you expecting?
Grayson Gonzalez
Settle down there, cowboy. You sound like you're retaliating against pretentious tryhards who are making Baccano out to be some kind of artistic masterpiece. But there's nobody like that in this thread. It's a fun, comfy show that tries something new and pulls it off reasonably well.
Jeremiah Thompson
Imagine getting filtered by Baccano
Adam Reyes
This, those two retards carried the entire show by themselves
Dylan Gonzalez
Japan didn't particularly hate it, it sold 6k BDs. DRRR sold 18k, though.
Joshua Adams
If Japan hated it it wouldn't have gotten an anime. People always say "Japan hates [Western-flavored series]" simply because it wasn't as revered there as it is in the West.
Christian Mitchell
I get what you're saying, but I think it's more than just that. Compare the number of HBO series that take place in a non-Western setting to the number of Japanese series that take place in a non-Jap one. They're definitely a little bit more inwards-looking than we are.

Kill yourself dubnigger.
Brayden Rodriguez
seeing the cringe op is what puts me off everytime
Juan Scott
Rewatched it recently. Just as fun and side characters like Ronny become a lot more interesting to look out for.
Liam Lopez
On the other hand foreign settings tend to be good by default in anime/manga because shit authors rarely touch them.

It’s not a new idea though.
