Baccano!

I downloaded the whole season but Im unsure wether to watch it, is it a good series to watch and what's it about?

It's one of the best series I have ever seen, and I'm constantly moving it in and out of my top five favourites. It's non-sequential, so things do not happen in order. May sound confusing, but because of that there isn't a single dull moment in the entire series. There was not a second where I thought "ok hurry up", not a second where I wanted to be watching something else. It's amazing, and wouldn't work half as good if it was in sequence to be honest.

Because you don't know how to use Wikipedia, heres the story.

In 1711, a group of alchemists seeking eternal life gathered on a boat to summon the "demon" that held the secret. The demon agreed to give them what they wanted—an elixir of life, the method to create more, and the secret to ending their new-found existence. The following night, alchemists began disappearing, "eaten" by one of their own. Realizing the threat posed by being close together, they decided to scatter across the world. Centuries later, in Prohibition-era America, the immortals have come together once again, and the "stupid commotion" starts.

That's as detailed an explanation you're going to get, because it's extremely hard to explain the story. You'll probably watch the first episode and think "Ok, wheres this going?" but then you'll watch the rest and think "This is ******* awsome." Also, NO! It's nothing like Fullmetal Alchemist even though there are alchemists in it.

By the way, theres also an OVA that serves as a sequel to the series. It's three episodes long, you might want to download that as well if you haven't already. A lot of the voice actors and actresses from Gintama also provide voices in Baccano, see if you can spot them. :8 Oh, and the OVA is in sequence unlike the series.
