The impressive thing about all of this is that the tone never feels too jarring. Hell, a train robbery scene could suddenly be interrupted by some of Nice's fireworks, or even a stick up at a newspaper office. The Eve story could be interrupted for scenes of Dallas being a huge douche towards some gangsters who make him wet his pants two years in the past. One moment, you could be watching Isaac and Miria pulling a job in silly outfits while loudly exclaiming their emotions, then instantly skip right to the Rail Tracer turning someone's skull into mush by smashing it into the ground from outside a moving train. The entire show is like this, and it's kind of amazing. The first episode informs you of this fast, as some newspaper reporters go over some of the basics of the story, shifting around the entire show from end to beginning to second act to end again and at infinite until the chaos eventually ends with bits and pieces from supposed end points of each store, with context completely absent.
BACCANO ENGLISH DUB EPISODE 1 CRAZY ANIME SERIES
I don't just mean that the three stories are told side by side and the series jumps from time to time, I meant that even in the same episode, one story can be completely skipped around to focus on different characters or show scenes from an entirely different point in the story's current focus. No, it's not the amount of characters present or even the lack of a lead that makes Baccano interesting, but that the entire series is told out of order. There's plenty more I didn't list, but that isn't where the series gets interesting. Among the cast, the most important characters are the lighthearted gangster Frio and his friend Maiza, the theatrical thieves Isaac and Miria, the innocent Eve and her jerk brother Dallas, the murderous lunatic Ladd, mysterious old man Szilard, the strange boy Czes, the bootlegging gang lead by the scared Jacuzzi and pyrotechnic Nice, the Rail Tracer, and the quiet and mysterious women Ennis and Chane, each appearing in the 1930 story and 1931 story (respectfully). The show is loaded with characters, and nobody is really a main protagonist. There's also some really batty stuff I can't get into here due to massive spoilers, but suffice to say that the simple explanation I just gave you isn't even close to accurate.
It followed a mess of characters from the years 1930 to 1932 in the good old US of A, dealing with a bunch of mafia families having bones to pick with each other, a young girl trying to find her missing brother, and a train robbery aboard the flying Pussyfoot that goes wrong as some sort of monstrosity called the Rail Tracer appears out of nowhere and starts killing people in incredibly gruesome ways. Baccano's anime debuted in 2007, four years after the light novels started print.
