Loved the first ep, starting with the terrific OP. Not as great as Baccano's but still a catchy tune, and I love the character "handoff" format. Loved the episode itself, too, from the Horo cameo on down. It was odd seeing that Baccano style overlaid on Yozakura faces, especially as I don't love those character designs, but I got used to it.
There's a certain rhythm to this author's stuff - you could sense it in Baccano and you feel it here, too. It's drama moving to a bebop beat, with the feel of improvisation to scripted material. In Baccano it literally had a jazz soundtrack, but this is still the anime equivalent of jazz. I expect to be confused by the plot, unable to remember all the character names, and to love every minute of it.
