Baccano!
Baccano! is a series of Japanese light novels by Ryohgo Narita and Katsumi Enami. The majority of the series, which is frequently presented from numerous points of view, is set in a fictional United States over various time periods, most notably the Prohibition era. It focuses on disparate characters, including alchemists, robbers, thugs, Mafiosi, and Camorristi, who are unrelated. After recreating an immortality elixir in 1930s Manhattan, the characters begin to cross paths, causing events to spiral further out of control. ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint has published twenty novels as of March2013. The first novel was published in February 2003. The novels were converted into a sixteen-episode television anime series directed by Takahiro Omori and produced by Brain's Base and Aniplex. The first thirteen episodes broadcast on WOWOW from July26, 2007 to November1,2007; the final three episodes were released directly-to-DVD. The series has also been converted into two volumes of manga, an adventure video game for the Nintendo DS, and two drama CDs. A novel was issued with the first drama CD, and two gaiden novels were released in parts with the anime adaptation's DVDs.
