In another close one, this month's AotM title goes to Baccano!. Here is a brief synopsis of Volume 1, which is available now from FUNimation:

You may now discuss the series, keeping in mind that any and all potential spoilers beyond Volume 1 should be kept in spoiler tags like this:

This is a spoiler.
Also, don't forget to rate the series when you're finished.
 
Another anime I voted for won. I have to thank FUNimation for licensing this, since otherwise I would've never heard of it, let alone seen any of it.
 
Eh, not Higurashi.

Still, I did see the first episode when Funi put it up with subtitles a few months ago, and I did like what I saw, enough to consider buying it when a box set comes out.

Still not Higurashi, though.
 
No problem. If there's ever an anime you want to check out that FUNimation has, look for it on that site, because chances are they put some episodes of it up on there.
 
Baccano was the most amazing show I saw last year. I was hoping AotM would hold off until the rest of the DVRAB are out, but regardless of that, pick up this show now. It's definitely worth the cash.
 
Baccano is a Great Anime it is one the Best Funi dubs ive seen in a while! the voices are great, the characters our interesting, the story is confusing but great! I can't wait to collect the whole series!
 
Lots of blood and gun play and stabbing and such. A guy gets two fingers cut off in the first episode, for example - looks quite painful, too. So closer to Hellsing than Bleach.

Personally, I've been loving what I've seen of Baccano! When FUNi releases some box sets I'm definitely going to pounce on it.
 
I really can't imagine watching this one in the original Japanese. The accents of the characters makes it feel authentic and therefore, in my mind, a lot more entertaining.
 
I agree Wuggles. It just wouldn't be the same in Japanese but I'll give it a listen in Japanese one of these days.

Also I wrote a review of the first DVD.
