Baccano

Story:

Baccano is about the stories of different characters but somehow their stories intersect at a certain point of the story. You will see that everyone of them is connected wheter it is through coincidence or not. One of the thing that makes Baccano interesting is how creative the story is narrated. It is not narrated in chronological order like a typicall story. There are different timelines in the story, the story that happened in different years. On every episode, the story would start on what happened on a certain year and shows you what happened on the other years and so on and so forth. Sounds complicated? somehow, although that what makes it unique. At the first few episodes you will really be confused why these things are happening but as you watch further you will gradually understand why these things are happening. You will discover new things while watching every episode and every episode will leave you with questions, "Why is he like that?" "How did he became like that?" "Who is really is he?". The series ended answering all of the unanswered questions in the story. 

Animation:

The animation is pretty decent and I have no issues with it. How the characters are drawn really suits their personality. And the fights are well executed.

Characters:

Another unique feature of this anime is that it has lots of characters and each of these characters really play a major role of the story and you can't really tell who the main character is. It has an interesting set of characters: a typical hero type boy, a crybaby who becomes cool, a comedic pair of thieves, a homonculus who is finding the meaning of life, a maniac who loves to kill, the legendary rail tracer and many more characters.

I can say that this anime is really a well-played, creative and unique one. You will definitely enjoy this if like animes that give you a lot of questions while watching but answering them gradually. Hope this helps
