I've not watched a lot of anime recently. It may be due to the following things:
1) I was in New York for two weeks and didn't have access to my desktop computer.

I loved the Baccano anime! It had mafia, ultraviolence, action, adventure, alchemy, solid animation, a tiny bit of romance... the works. The story was really fast-paced and ( Read more... )
