Manga? I've heard the manga is actually horid. Read the light novel it will do you some good and it's extremely good.

You mean the novels, and no. The anime and the specials barely scratch the surface of Baccano's actual storyline, if even that. They're like little commercials for the novels (but really good commercials).

I dunno. the Manga is actually pretty faithful (it only covers the 2nd book and nothing else)...the only major change is that Ladd kills Placido, where as in the novels/anime he survives (and is a semi-important character later in the novels).

But yes...the anime, while EXTREMELY faithful in what it does show (aside from how Gustavo dies and how the Jecuzzi vs Rail Tracer battle happens (in that it actually happens and isn't just glossed over like the anime did)), leaves out A LOT of stuff (especially about Claire (solo) (97%), Rachel (75%), Ladd (20%), Lua (95%), and 1 important character who doesn't even appear at all but everything they were involved in still happens but without showing WHY it did leading to a few disconnected events...arguably minor but someone may still noticed and get annoyed at an apparently contrived coinicidence) . Even the railroad arc that got the most screen time could barely be called 40% adapted..and even that's probably pushing it.
