i started to watch my Baccano DVD on Tuesday, and i finished it today.
amazing series. one of my all time favourite animes. it was almost flawless IMO, seriously.
the "multiple viewpoints and events at different times within the same storyline" thing was a brilliant idea.
i don't think there was one character that i disliked, they all had their own great quirks.
Issac and Maria are quite possibly my favourite anime duo of all time. they never failed to leave me in stitches with their comical simple minds.
and to all those who recommended the english audio, thanks a lot! you were right, the voices were pretty good indeed.
if i was a reviewer i would give this anime 9/10 and 5 gold stars.
I would watch this anime again with friends, but alas they are not into anime enough =[
i reckon they'd have really enjoyed the story too.
regardless, the comments by the vice president were inspiring to me.
the ones about how some good stories don't have an ending, and that a story doesn't have to stick to one main character.
Baccano has inspired me to implement this kind of thing into my own writing.
I don't have to worry about trying to squeeze everything into a short amount of time, i don't have to strain myself to focus on just one character.
i'm going to let my imagination run wild and turn my story into one that's fully explored, characters and concepts and everything else, not cramped up and rushed. :D
and thank you AP. if i hadn't seen your praise for it on here, i would have never purchased Baccano and tried it.
My thanks goes especially to Kitsune and Insider, it was your antics with the Issac/Maria thing that got me interested the most. =]
