Baccano!- Episode 13 (oh, God…!!)
24 November 2007
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!!
It was perfect, perfect, like a good ending should be. I’m not really making sense. But everything, all the things I wanted to happen and all the things that needed to happen. Claire and Chane are getting married, everyone’s immortal, Jacuzzi kicked that flamethrower guy’s ass, Firo and Ennis are together, that old bastard Szilard is dead, Czes stopped being emo in his head.
And that scene, with everyone on top of the train, with Jacuzzi and Nice and Donny and Isaac and Miria and Czes, riding into that sunrise, happiest moment, ever. Baccano! was amazing, honestly. They managed to tie everything together, everything. Even stuff from the beginning, like Claire’s promise to find Chane, even though back in like episode two or three, I had no idea who or what he was talking about. And the guys that set the glove on fire and triggered that whole chain of events, they’re back, too. Randy and Pezzo, yeah, they set Szilard on fire. And, and, and! Dallas Genoard, oh god, I laughed long and hard at him. Judging from the opening, I thought he’d end up in a test tube and he did! But before that, he spent a year at the bottom of the Hudson!
Waaaahhhh!! Isaacuuu!!!! Miiriiiia!!!!!
Oh god, stuff like that just makes you all happy and giddy on the inside. I’m out to get my hands on the light novels, even if they’re in Japanese. The epilogue, 2001, that was so nostalgic, basically because I live on the damn Manhattan island, but I can remember the very first episode, where the camera panned down the same street, the same buildings, ending in that first shot and it’s the same street, same block, different day. Ooh, the many birthdays to come.
Fantastic, that’s about it. That’s the only way I can describe it, from the names to the plot, everything, just fantastic. It was like living in a dream. The buoyancy and warmth that Baccano! has is contagious. It’s really just about living life. There’s nothing terrible about being immortal, the glass is half full, you’ll get to have as many birthdays as you want. Just jump up and down, yell, scream, break something, live in the moment.
Waaaah!!! It was just so good, I’m satisfied, I can die happy now.
I’m going to miss this show, going to miss it a lot. It was such a trip, such a deliciously crazy trip.
Oh god, it’s over. No, no, actually, not all, not all….
(I even made a tag specifically for this, ‘YAHOO!!’)
I just finished the last episode, and you pretty much summarized my thoughts. A perfect ending for an awesome show.
I know what you mean! xD It was really freaking amazing, and much as I love Firo, I’m so glad he and Ennis got together. *waves rabid shipper flag*
Yahh!! Owatta na, Miria!!
Na, Aisaaku!
