Baccano!
バッカーノ!
In 1711, aboard the Advenna Avis, a group of alchemists attempted to summon a demon with the goal of achieving eternal life. The demon provided them with an elixir and instructed them on how to end their existence by consuming one another. One among them began devouring his companions, prompting the others to scatter globally. In the 1930s in America, a federal investigator fought against organized crime during Prohibition, sent a terrorist to Alcatraz, and pursued an infamous thief duo. Meanwhile, the Flying Pussyfoot train caused chaos across the country. In 2002, a group of original Advenna Avis alchemists embarked on a journey to locate their fellow immortals, only to encounter an unexpected companion. Events from various time periods and locations are revealed to be interconnected, including a sleepy Italian city in the early 1700s and a modern luxury cruise ship traveling across the Pacific.
