I have discovered something amazing ON THE INTERNET
I spend a lot of time tooling around Hulu watching random stuff. And I have learned that, somehow, I missed Baccano when it was airing.
It is a work of utter genius. It is a story about stories (shades of Princess Tutu), with an amazing cast and hysterical humor. I'm only two episodes in, and I'm still getting a feel for it, but... I can definitely recommend it already.
It's on Hulu for free until the end of the month. (Actually, that's an extremely clever marketing system on the part of Funimation. Release a full series for a month. Chances are a lot of people will watch it and like it who never would have picked it up otherwise, and a lot of people will see part of it and not finish it and it'll be in the back of their mind when they randomly see it in a store. I'd love to know how effective it turned out to be for them...)
Edited to add: Also? Baccano has some of the best episode titles ever. My favorite so far is "The Vice President Doesn't Say Anything About the Possibility of Him Being the Main Character". Or maybe "The Rail Tracer Covertly, Repeatedly Slaughters Inside the Coaches". Or... well... I love most of them.
Recommendingly,
Ana
