[Blu-ray] Baccano! Complete Collection Review

[Chris Beveridge]

Review by Chris Beveridge



Mania Grade: A

In Summary:
Baccano was a hard show to watch the first time around when it was broken up, but it had some wonderful moments that made it stand out. Taking it in as a whole show over the course of a day, it's an impressive work that really ties so many things together in a way that's exhilarating to see unfold. Baccano is one of those shows that you really have to work at to get the most out of it. It's not exactly complex, it just has a lot of storylines running through it that weave back and forth in one time period but also jumps to others as well to flesh out certain elements. I could have done without the three epilogue episodes that deals with events after the train arrives in New York City, but it has its merits and does give clue as to how certain things are resolved and can go. Baccano as a whole here is a great work that I can't recommend enough, but it's not fluff. It's something much more and the payoff for it is the best. Highly recommended.
