If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Mekakucity Actors add

Similarities: - Unconventional storytelling methods (time jumps, not in chronological order, etc.) - Short length (12-13 episodes) - more specifically, the short amount of episodes may leave you thinking that the series did not live up to its potential. A larger episode length could have lead to a better understanding of characters' motives, actions, and (in the case of Mekakucity Actors) backgrounds. - Large cast - the episode count, combined with this large cast, inevitably means that characters will have to fight for screen time (figuratively, of course), which in turn leads to some characters getting more screen time and development than others. Whether or not said screen time is deserved or not is up to you. On the upside, a larger cast means more characters for you to like. - Stellar soundtracks - seriously, if you need any reason to watch either of these, it's the soundtrack. Differences: - Setting: Baccano (1930's America), Mekakucity Actors (?? Japan) - Animation styles - do I really need to say it? - Characters - Drawing similarities to any of the characters from these series may be a bit of a stretch, other than the fact that I found most of them to be likeable. - Baccano's storytelling, though equally confusing at first, ends up being the better of the two.
