If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Durarara!! add

Takahiro Omori, director of Baccano! and Durarara!!, implemented multiple similar styles and qualities in both animes. Baccano! and Durarara!! have several interesting stories that contribute to the overarching plot and go back and forth on a timeline of some sort, but in Durarara!! the changes of time aren't directly labeled with a specific time like in Baccano!. Also, Baccano! was more violent and gruesome than Durarara!! (mainly due to there being more bloody fights) Both shows also have characters that are well developed even some with similar psychotic and/or destructive natures (Some examples include Baccano!'s Ladd Russo & Claire Stanfield and Durarara!!'s Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima). In several of Durarara!!'s episodes, references to Baccano! are included, such as movie posters, the Dollars' password, and the abrupt appearances of Isaac and Miria. Both Baccano! and Durarara!! have similar opening and closing themes that reflect on all the major characters (most especially the openings which exhibit more of the characters' personalities). The soundtracks were also on point in suiting the animes.
