Thats all the good ones ive watched in order from best
I know, I'm still not sure if I should be ranking it above Utawarerumono or not, but if it isn't at number five, it's definitely at number six. I might change my list again soon, but for now Baccano remains at number five.
I watched the first nine episodes non-stop last night, then watched the last four episodes and all three episodes of the OVA with very few breaks inbetween today. In my opinion, Baccano is one of the most interesting and original anime series out there. If the story was told straight forward and normally, then it wouldn't have been as good. Thankfully it isn't told like that though, it's told in a non-sequential style, which is what makes it so damn good. Like most shows, Baccano does have a main storyline, but unlike most shows it presents you with many different stories which show how each of the character's lives have intertwined in the past to meet at the main story. That may be hard to understand while being read, but let me tell you, it's one of the most interesting ways of storytelling I've ever seen. You'll find that the surroundings the characters interact with, and the things they get up to all directly affect another character, and so on. It's extremely hard to explain, but if you watch it, straight away you'll get what I mean. I can't think of one single bad thing about it. The first episode or two are quite confusing, and you are kind of thrown into the middle of a story, but once you pick up on whats actually happening it's beyond fantastic from start to finish. The characters are some of the best I've ever seen, and whats more it's kind of like there aren't any main characters since it focuses on so many. The animation is very slick and smooth and stood out as very fitting since it's set mostly in 1930, and eveything else is just perfect.
After typing that, I think it definitely deserves to be above Utawarerumono, and maybe even Sword of the Stranger. You should watch it. Now! Seriously, it's amazing.
