We're reading self-conscious pulp, and it's glorious. It's good clean mobster fun, full-on glorious expropriation of tommy guns, speakeasies, corrupt cops, and all the Untouchable tropes if you know New York's early 20th century history intimately, if you're an expert in the '30s mafia, if you can conjure the feeling of the city under Prohibition instantly to mind, don't come to this expecting that.
BACCANO ENNIS ANIME CHARACTER DATABASE SERIES
This volume corresponds to the 1930 arc of the anime-the events surrounding Firo's elevation to Camorra executive-without losing any of the kinetic, good-natured gangster charm that so endeared the series to me.īaccano! wastes no time-in maybe ten pages we're rolling (bootlegs) with different timelines, settings, colorful characters, alchemy, demons, and gangland fantasia. I came to the series through its (brilliant, hilarious) anime adaptation, which interpolates a handful of different Baccano! light novels into one phenomenal mosaic.
Baccano! wastes Yen Press's first translated entry in the Baccano! series is the most fun I've had at the movies in a while.
