(L) Baccano！

[Simplex]

One of the few anime that looks great from the start. Although it's only 13 episodes long with a lot of characters, it's still very possible to flesh out all the characters. Pulp Fiction is the same format, yet they were able to do a great job with the movie, which is about 2 hours long.

I can't wait for the next episode.

hm. i have a question about video quality, err. will a h264 RAW ever be released or will the highest quality video for this series probably be DVD?

[max2k]

For Baccano! 01 i found a h264 raw @720*480(ntsc) but at 25fps(pal) .

If i try to decimate(25) and asumefps(23,976) i still losse 36 seconds, any one has a typ how to managed this without lossing play time ...

Anybody seen episode 2 yet? The English sub is frustratingly slow for some reason...

Spoiler for for eps 2:

I still prefer the multilateralness of the first episode. The weird couple are just way to weird imo, I would call it emo but... meh. speakin of emo, the young guy afriad of everything is the one who really got on my nerve. If the first is supposed to be comical relief, I don't know why we have to endure the latter...

How do you think about songs?
i love the ending...
i dont know but all the ambient remember me cowboy bebop.

I've add the song in youtube if someone wanna sing it or only listen it. Have karaoke inside.

I like both. A lot. But the op is utterly addictive. Love that big band jazz sound. Yeah sure it does remind one of CB, but the music is spot on and fits the setting perfectly. I'm more reminded of something like Bugsy Malone too.

Spoiler for ep 2:

Very talky again, me needs subs, but I like the pacing and each episode seems to last twice as long for some odd reason. Anyway the focussing on a smaller group character's stories makes me think they might actually give them enough airtime in 13 episodes and that one or more of them may emerge as the 'hero'. I did find Miria's voice hugely irritating, but her and Isaaku are fun to watch (I'm still trying to figure out why they're stealing chocolate in the OP).

Jacuzzi got on my nerves very quickly, too whiny, too emo. Meganeko Nice, despite being a bit of a wreck, is a major plus. I just hope we find out where she and Jacuzzi got those horrible scars. The character that fascinates me the most though is Czeslaw, he's sinister and secretive yet can readily act like a kid when needed.

I also though the whole subplot with the conductors was really well done. I thought that younger conductor may have been an important character, but he doesn't get a name in the OP and by the end of the ep it looks like he's dead anyway. He's about the only 'normal' character we've seen so far.

I love both the OP and the ED I like the OP better though . . .jazz music . .. nice xD

But I also love ALL the background music throught the episodes . . .they fit the mood/character/setting perfectly *_*

But my absolute favorite is the music in the promo trailer ^^; It was so addicting . .. I can't get it off my head after hearing it. *hums it*

I surely can't want to have the Baccano! OST *_*

Solar jumped into the Baccano! subbing game! should be good and fairly speedy.

(I'm still trying to figure out why they're stealing chocolate in the OP).

That is quite simple

Spoiler for reply:

It must be Halloween and they dress up going trick or treat. It is not stealing.

[Guardian Enzo]

The OP is terrific - the music obviously fits, but I love the character montage. Given how many characters there are, it's also a virtual necessity in addition to being stylish!

Ah ha, could be. But Miria's dressed as Santa and I'm sure Isaac is pointing a gun under his cloak. Plus the shop keeper doesn't look too amused by the whole thing...

Speedy? Perhaps you've confused us with another group

Gun? You sure it is real? It may be just a toy. And no one says we can't wear a Santa costume in Halloween, right. After all, these two are weird persons.

Well, I guess not anyone enjoy being asked for sweets, especially by two adults. Don't forget he has prepared a huge box of snack, all kinds of. It's almost like say "I know I can't refuse to treat you kids, here are what you asking for, choose one you like and go already.

They're not going trick-or-treating. They're just two robbers who dress up as weird things. Remember the train scene in the first EP? They were dressed like they were at a wedding.

I really hope they speed up the subbing.

Episode 2 aired 6 days ago... and Episode 3 airs tommorow. D:

[herbert]

If you insist that is a robbery. I guess I need an explanation why the shopkeeper has a full box of unsorted candies.

Did you confuse Issac and Miria with Ladd and Lua. Ladd and Lua are wearing very formal clothings on the train, I doubt you can say same thing to Issac and Miria.

[sapphire-pyro]

About Isaac and Miria in the OP, I think they're also robbing the store for chocolates and candies ^^; They're crazy and stupid after all xD I wouldn't be surprised if they rob for costumes and stealing other stuff aside from money xD I've seen a movie before about a couple who rob that way . . . but I can't remember the title though ^^;

The subs for eppie 1 were already up around a week later . . . it's already a week but how come the subs for eppie 2 are not yet available ;_; huhuhuh . . .*impatience kills*

For sure raws for eppie 3 will eb available tomorrow . . .can't wait FIRO!!!!! SQUEEEE!!!!!!! xD

Yeah, I did confuse them. xD

But like Sapphire said, they're just plain stupid/goofy/crazy robbers.

I was talking about the shopkeeper in my last post if you didn't notice. He is just a normal shopkeeper, right? I see no point he keeps a full box of unsorted candies if it is not for Halloween.
