One of the most fun shows I've seen in the past year, counting Gurren Lagann. Can't wait to pick it up.
Between the Geneon re-releases and rescues and other stuff I'm buying from them, Funimation is putting quite a dent in the ol' wallet. |

Every time I see Funimation license something good, it makes me die a little inside.

i'm not surprised it was licensed, but i never cared enough to even finish the series. unless you're a fan of the setting, there's not much to keep your interest. it's one of those you just know makes a better novel than series/movie without having read it.

Looks like a very high quality show, but man, that is violent. More violent than I really like to see. Considering they probably can't run it on TV uncut and some people might want some warning, maybe there should be a warning on the link or something?

One of the best shows of 2007 (second only to Gurren-Lagann) in my opinion, one of the best in years. Worth watching, worth buying. The sub is unlikely to fail, since it takes place in America and has crooks, mobsters and assasins in it's vast list of charcters, instead of moeblobs yelling uguu~ or whatnot.

Finally, a new release I might actually buy, it's been so long I forgot what it felt like. I'd buy Gurren Lagann if it weren't for Bandais handling of the release.

To clarify, the anime takes place between 1930 and 1932. None of it takes place in the twenties. (Maybe a flashback or two, but none of the main events.) |

Well, I haven't bought any anime DVDs of any series as of late, but this one I will probably definitely pick up. This series is so good. >__< Thank you for picking this up, Funimation! ^__^

When I first saw this headline, I shouted "Holy crap!" Luckily no one heard me.
This just made my day. Funimation is just dominating the anime market with smart licenses. I can not wait until the end of the year and next year when I will be buying a ton of anime. |

Actually I don't think Adult Swim would have any problems showing it if it's just TV-MA level violence, outside of how unsuccessful they might fear it could be because of it's nicheness that is. Anywas, holy crap man!!!!!!!!  I swear I was on the verge of crying when I first saw that!  I honestly thought no one was going to license this one, but MAN has Funimation just been the greatest people in the world lately! We may very well see a Mononoke lisence from them just yet!
Definitely a must buy, that's for sure. |

Awesome! Too bad Funimation's subtitle font is so tiny and weird...

So, I'm going through the Baccano! site on ANN, and I come across this.
WTF? Can somebody who has seen this explain a little about episodes 14, 15, and 16? Is the show so episodic that they can just add extra episodes randomly throughout the DVD releases? Or is it that the last three are fluff and it doesn't matter where they go? |

All the events that happen eventually tie together. If you watched all the episodes out of order, obviously there would be some confusion, but somehow all the episodes just mingle together. In a way it reminded me of Boogiepop, in how all the characters and plots in those episodes intersected each other. |
