In 1929, Ladd Russo spared Graham Specter's life and earned his unwavering loyalty. Three years later, Graham is infuriated upon learning that Ladd was pushed off the train after the events aboard the Flying Pussyfoot. As a man of bizarre yet passionate philosophies, he plans to make an offering to Ladd by kidnapping Eve Genoard and subsequently capturing Jacuzzi Splot, who has been living in the Genoard mansion with his gang. Meanwhile, Jacuzzi and his gang take in an unfamiliar woman, Elmer C. Albatross pays a visit to the prison to meet an old friend, and Czeslaw Meyer runs into the man he hoped he would never see again. These seemingly separate storylines merge, tying up several loose ends and revealing the whole truth of the anomaly that occurred aboard the Advena Avis in 1711. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The Good: - It was a joy to see many of the characters is a more casual setting. - Production quality was retained. - Rail Tracer! The Bad: - The eccentric nature of the new antagonist is tiresome, especially compared to Ladd. - There's really no story; just more insight into the lives of some of the characters. - A good portion of the characters had only minor roles. - The ending.Conclusion: I gave Baccano (the series) an 8, and it just wouldn't be fair to give the OVA the same score because the series was so much better. If you loved Baccano, however, the OVA is a must-see.

Title: Baccano! OVA Anime: The Baccano! OVA was produced by Brains Base (who also produced Natsume Yuujin-Chou and the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Next Season~ OVA) and was directed by Takahiro Omori (director for Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori and Natsume Yuujin-Chou). The three episodes were released on DVDs 5 (released February 27th, 2008), 7 (released April 23rd, 2008), and 8 (released May 28th, 2008) as bonus episodes in Japan; it is unclear if, in Funimation's licensing of the series Stateside, the OVA is included in what was licensed. The Baccano! OVA picks up on some of the plot lines from the series that, despite being wrapped up,weren't quite complete and needed some more explaining, and also introduces some new characters. I watched Baccano! almost a year ago now, and watching this reminded me of why I liked the series so much. There's an amazing amount of detail in this production, especially in the story and backstories of the characters, and how things in the past and future dovetail into each other to bring things full circle and fill out and finish the last of the plot lines that weren't quite perfect. The new characters also make their entrances nicely within all this, fitting in perfectly. Art style is pretty much unchanged from the original series; still a great amount of detail given to the character designs, which is where it matters most, and the animation in general is smooth and well-done. Music is still mostly jazz-based and good, while the OP and ED stays the same as from the series. The seiyuu all returned for the OVA, and Tomokazu Sugita (famous for his roles as Mayama in Honey and Clover and Soldier Blue in Toward the Terra) makes an appearance as the new OVA-exclusive character Graham Spector. The length was pretty good on this, though I would've liked to have this expanded into a second season. There's a rather metatastic moment at the end of this, though, and it very much leaves the possibility for a continuation open, and I would hope that they pick up on this. All in all, an excellent OVA, though not quite as good as the series itself, that expands and brings the series full-circle while leaving the possibility for continuation more than open. Story: 9/10 Art: 9/10 Music: 8/10 Seiyuu: 8/10 Length: 8/10 Overall: 42/50; 84% (B) &quot;All there is is a performance of people connecting, living, influencing each other, and departing.&quot;

Not much to talk about, these specials close the anime, as well as its history, if there is one end (reference). The special introduces an additional character with a strong personality and features! Other characters are highlighted, which is wonderful! Watching Baccano and these 3 special episodes is a wonderful and unique experience! The dialogues here can be more tiring, the antagonist's reflections can be long and exhausting, but that's a good point, since he's a well-built character, and that's 3 episodes deep. The old antagonist gains even greater prominence by showing his dilemmas and motivations out of what he was before!

Pros: Adds new details to the Baccano! universe and wraps things up wonderfully, better than the main series. Cons: Graham Specter dances on my last nerve. Bottom line: Watch this after you are done enjoying Baccano! The ending to this mini series is so much better than the original I honestly don't think you are done watching Baccano! til you've checked out this. The quality of the art/music is the same as the original series, so these short episodes just finish wrapping up certain details and fleshing out certain characters, like Claire and Chane's relationship. Characters in Baccano! are loveable and hereits more of the same with one caveat: Graham Specter has got to be one of my least favorite characters of all time. He is so pointless and ridiculous and does not shut up! A lot of people do like him though (and he has way more fanart than most other characters!) so this is just a matter of taste.

Mixed Feelings

I liked the main Baccano series. It had some great pacing, comedic relief, and emotional baggage along with it. The Baccano Specials had almost none of that. Of course, some things I can forgive because they are specials, but the matter of fact is that the specials feel kind of lost. They serve no real purpose. Comedy? Not much. Additional story? Sure there is some additional story but I feel like the whole kidnapping arc should have been included in the main series. In reality the first and last special episodes were good. I enjoyed them. Solid 3 and 2/3's on them. The second one Ihave main issue with. The second episode jumps all over the place. It is quite distracting. We end up in jail in a scene. This is supposed to "close" the chapters of many characters but in reality all it does is open more questions about them. For a true conclusion, if you are an avid fan of Baccano but want more, just read the manga. It is worth much more rather than watching the specials. That does not mean I hate the specials. Hell seeing the couple again just warms my heart. The couple is the best part of the show and I loved seeing them as soon as I opened the specials. Literally the couple deserve their own show. I'd pay to see that. Thats all 6/10 Thanks! -CyanCheetah
