Sometimes, I think the best thing about Baccano! is that you can say the following in complete seriousness and with no exaggeration:
"One of the main characters is a teenaged bootlegger named Jacuzzi Splott, who operates out of Prohibition Era Chicago. He's something of a crybaby and once singlehandedly knocked over 18 speakeasies in one day. When they were kids, his BFF/future girlfriend, Nice, had a bomb she was working on blow up, leaving her face and upper body covered in scars, so he tattooed a knife on his face so he'd look just as different.*
Jacuzzi is one of the milder characters in the series."
(I may have rewatched the entire thing in a single day last week.)
*Not exactly the same thing, but he was about 8.
