As if the current amount of characters wasn’t enough, this episode introduces yet another shipload of them, literally. And seriously, with every episode, my respect for this series is growing. This was an entire episode, dedicated to 1711, the place where everything began. The crew on the ship was looking for eternal life, and they [...]

If you were wondering what happened to my entries for Baccano! for the past two weeks, there was some kind of hiatus in the broadcast schedule. Luckily, it’s now back and totally made up for the two-week absence when this turns out to be quite possibly the best episode of Baccano! yet. I love how [...]

This episode sort-of ruined the sense of time I had with this series, when suddenly the hunt for Dallas Genoard was moved back to 1931, and Maiza appeared to already be immortal before he could have had any chance to meet Barnes. The previous episodes have done well to answer the necessary questions, only for [...]

This episode was pretty much centered on them as they went from unsuccessfully digging for gold for nine months until they got a letter from Ennis asking [...]

If you spot any errors, do let me know - thanks.  「Calling」 performed by Kaori Oda  何処までも続いてる星空見上げて歌う 限りある僕達の　永遠を夢見るメロヂイー 胸に溢れる愛しさの水は 未来の果てで誰かに届くだろう 信じているよ 遥かな時を駆け抜けて 僕達の呼び声はいつか大きな歌になる 愛を紡いで行けるよ 今はまだこんなに小さな光がけど 分かり合う喜びに体ごと焼かれた夜に 限りある温もりの　永遠を初めて祈った 君のためにきっと生まれて来たと ただ声の限りに叫び続けたい 呼び合う声が時を超えるように 震えてた手を取り合って 失くしたくないと思って 僕等の胸に儚さがいつか生まれてた 終わりに怯えて泣いて 終わらない歌を歌った まだ見ない地平の方へ 君と行けるから…… 遥かな時を駆け抜けて 僕達の呼び声はいつか大きな歌になる 愛を語って行けるよ 今はまだこんなに小さな 光だけど 星空見上げて歌う 永遠を夢見ている 光の中
