I had read the first novel some time ago, but the anime revived my interest in the series. It was also better.
Yeah, Baccano! is possibly the best damn show all year.

I just watched all of Baccano! in two days and it was just pure excellence all around. It feels so good to find a really awesome anime that isn't like 20 bajillion episodes long.
Oddly enough, I think my favorite character was Ladd. What a fucking psycho <3 Though I really loved Jacuzzi, too. Wish I could figure out what age he's supposed to be...

I think Jacuzzi is suppose to be around his late teens. I'm not sure.
Also, I would read the novels but I don't like reading books over on the computer.

Nabbed it from a friend who was going crazy over it. Afraid to say that, as far as I am aware, the Baccano! light novels are nowhere to be found online. I'm fairly sure Amazon.jp has a few of the books, however.
I just wonder what Ganon's up to... :)

I hate to tell you, Tinker, but the "supernatural" aspect of Baccano! (that being the Immortals) is the entire point of it. It's not a gangster anime that happens to have immortals, it's a show about immortals, some of which happen to be gangsters. If you're not interested in people chopping off each others limbs only to have them grow back time after time after time you're watching the wrong anime.
But you read it in English, I assume. Did someone put it out here?

I wish. I read it in the original format with a few reference books and a headache in order to get it all.
I did find a torrent for novels 1-3 and 6-onwards, however, if you don't mind lack of English.

I'll just wait until somebody does a full translation, personally. Baccano! is developing a pretty big cult following, so I'd like to assume somebody out there is willing to.

Durnit. Since I really like the characters, I'll have to put up with it, I guess - and then again, I'm around 1/3rd in, so it'll probably grow on me. I hope.

I demand a second season, regardless. Even if 70% of the cast is dead by 2001. If the mass, mass amounts of Baccano! fanart I have are any indication however, the new characters look to be just as interesting.

I must remember to check that out, I don't feel like waiting on the TLer there.
Still, first ep was just... whoa. I was just blown away, best series I've seen in ages. Then again I don't actually watch much anime, so what do I know?

What exactly was up with both Elmer (the guy who fell off the ship) and the intro?
I assume the intro is, like Rachel, just a way of telling us the story, but Elmer's wish never seems to have been explained.

Well, a large part of it tying up so well has to do with the director (or I'd assume). They basically took four novels and smashed them into one single entity, thus the going-back-and-forth effect, that allowed for a much deeper overall plot.
If they could do the same thing for the 2001-2002 novels (and maybe stick in the '33-'34s, I don't know), it could work just as well. But how knows. I've not read them so I'm not sure if it would be the best idea. I just kind of want more Baccano! >>

They never actually said what was up with Elmer, but what do you mean by the intro?

If they can do it just as well, sure, I'd love it.

The bit with Carole and Gustav St. Germain, who both seem to be working for the Daily Days. They start off the series.

Not a lot though. Like I said earlier, four of those books were compiled into a thirteen episode series with complete ease.

I've enjoyed most of the personal recommendations on here so far, actually. Some of which are my new favorite series.

Apparently we learn more about Elmer, as well as I guess a few other things they had been super vague about.
Finding more news now. I'd had a site that had screenshots, but I accidentally closed out of it and can't figure out where I had originally found it.
EDIT: Also, if collecting fanart is your thing or you just want to see how awesome these look, I have here a giant collection of every single piece of Baccano! fanart currently in existence (as far as the internet is concerned). Super organized to boot.

I highly recommend checking it out for some of the Rail Tracer stuff. Seriously cool.

But yeah, Graham and Firo get tons of shit. Luckily Claire and Chane have a lot as well. <3 Although I was kind of surprised by the fact that there were quite a few implied Firo x Riza pictures . . . As far as I'm aware, she's

At least we of all nationalities can agree that Claire is delightful and deserves the best fanart. Right? Right? Yeah, I'm right.
