Baccano! English Sub & Dub

About Baccano!

Baccano! blends action, comedy and supernatural by Brain's Base (2007). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: During the early 1930s in Chicago, the transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, is starting its legendary journey that will leave a trail of blood all over the country. At the same time in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his unwilling aide Ennis are looking for missing bottles of the immortality elixir.

Further in, in addition, a war between the mafia groups is getting worse. On board the Advena Avis, in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality. Based on the award-winning light novels of the same name, Baccano! follows several events that initially seem unrelated, both in time and place, but are part of a much bigger story—one of alchemy, survival, and immortality.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. A community score of 8.4/10 puts it among the better-received action titles. It aired in 2007, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
