There has never been such a fun, messy chaotic plot before that earned the title; Amazing. Seriously, all that mess packed up in one anime, one would think it would turn out a total disaster. I mean, so many main characters you seize to think of counting them after the first 5 min of the first episode. They range for psychotic sociopaths to too innocently stupid robbers that, mind you, get away with it every time. A good chunk of 1930s America, mafia, gore and comedy cannot go wrong. It's insanely beautiful. It's one of those things that you just say, OMG, it actually worked. I'm lost for words really, I cannot stress the need for more enough. I want more. I want more, more and more and just keep it coming. It's so sad this is only 16 episodes, I seriously doubt anyone would mind 300 episodes of this, rather than other 300 episode long animes that are just continuing on ...
This will never lose popularity. Just excellent. So good. A must watch. (show less)

Honestly when starting this anime, i didn't expect much, because i had watched Durarara before.
But now i can say- i Love this anime!!
At first all the characters in the opening is a bit overwelming and you think, how are they going to make a story with all these characters in such a short amount of episodes- but each individual all have such different personalities and characters that its easy to differentiate them aapart and see their character grow. The story isn't just one story- a bit like durarara (sorry for comparing) the story is made up of perspectives and different time periods, like all eventually correlate at the end, making perfect sense.
The animation is crisp and clean.
And the dialogue was pure brilliant- matching with the 1930 american mafia times.
And let me say, my favourite aspect of the anime, was the score- err music. The opening was jazzy and upbeat, complete fitting for the anime. The overall smooth jazz musics creates the atimosphere. It entertains, and i warn you of the blood :P Yes, lots of blood, and maniacal murders- don't try this at home children stunts are also plenitful. ITs a mix between reality and the supernatural and the impossible- but i assure you, this anime will blow you away. *ends rant* (show less)
