my not-write-up of Baccano! (because I'll do a real one later)

[meganbmoore]

Baccano! is what happens when Kaori Yuki watches too many gangster movies, and maybe a few slasher films. After all, only the brain that gave us (Angel Sanctuary series devouring spoiler) Lucifer starting the war in heaven in order to rescue God's favorite daughter from imprisonment in the Garden of Eden, and then spend two millenia as her sword through various reincarnations could also make the subplot of a mute assassin and the chatty, mass murdering former-acrobat who loves her be charming. That, and multiple characters pulling "Hi! Behold my Kaori Yuki-esque childhood/origin!" Plus the sheer, overwhelming love for rather sick people who really should be locked away, plethora of characters in a rather condensed space, and rather confusing plotline.

PS: OMG new English-translated Kaori Yuki manga in October!

I've always meant to watch Baccano! but now it's jumped to the top of my queue.

And new Kaori Yuki? Where? Where?
