It doesn't need to win an award in my opinion. It's still in my top ten.
I admit the first few eps was like -- huh. I was totally overwhelmed but the amount of scenes without any context. But, since it was a jigsaw-puzzle-plot, I gained to admire the storytelling they tried after the pieces fell together. Somewhat anachronistic, but hey, the series isn't named
Baccano for nothing.
The characters are what makes this series shine the most -- and to that extent, the result of their actions and their interactions with one another. Truly a masterpiece.
I am so GAR for Claire Stanfield
Muwahahaha.
