It granted it to them plus an elixir in the care of one man, while another wants to give out like crazy or something. Apparently it’s only the anime that is stuck in prohibition era America.Ĭreated by Ryohgo Narita, and note that this link goes to a wiki that of this writing seems to be more for fans of the franchise than anything usable for research or for anyone simply curious so I had to use regular and questionable regular Wikipedia to learn a darn thing, the light novel series follows a group of alchemists who asked a demon for immortality. Looking up the full story didn’t help when I learned the immortals can absorb each other, which is somehow more gross than lopping their heads off like in the Highlander franchise.
However the show is rather violent and that does turn me off. This did not interest me, which is odd because the setting itself isn’t a turn off.
From what I could tell Baccano! is a story about immortal gangsters in the prohibition era, focusing on the mob.
