''Baccano!'' (Italian for "ruckus" or "commotion") originally started as a series of light novels (summarized [[Recap/{{Baccano}} here]]), and was adapted into a 13-episode anime (16 including the bonus episodes) in 2007. The anime adaptation is centered on three specific stories from the novels, taking place in 1930, 1931, and 1932 respectively, jumping around from one to the other quite frequently. Even scenes set in the same time period regularly appear out of order and overlap with each other, all adding up to a rather delicious [[AnachronicOrder non-linear storyline]] that is very rewarding if you keep your wits about you when watching. Each of these stories relates either directly or tangentially to the immortality formula and those individuals who have drunk of it, sharing some characters and having some plotlines intersect. Three extra episodes were released on the DVD, acting as an epilogue for each character and bringing the story full circle.
