Sinopsis

In the early 1930s, the legendary transcontinental train, Flying Pussyfoot, begins its journey, leaving a trail of blood across the country. Simultaneously, in New York, the ambitious scientist Szilard and his reluctant aide Ennis search for missing bottles of the immortality elixir. A war between mafia groups escalates, and on the Advena Avis in 1711, alchemists are about to learn the price of immortality. Based on the award-winning light novels, Baccano! follows several seemingly unrelated events that are part of a larger story involving alchemy, survival, and immortality. At the center of it all are the kind-hearted would-be thieves, Isaac and Miria, connecting various people with their own hidden ambitions and creating lifelong bonds and consequences.

Fondo

Baccano! is based on Ryohgo Narita's award-winning light novels of the same title and mainly adapts the first 4 novels. While more faithful to the first 3 novels, the 4th novel (1932) is followed more loosely and is mostly an anime-exclusive story. In addition, content from later novels is briefly included in the anime as well. Unlike the novels however, which follow a mostly linear narrative per book, the anime adopts a non-linear storytelling style; the tale of each novel is told simultaneously with one another, with the focus jumping back and forth in time between and within the different plotlines.
