"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

Hmmm, I've been contemplating picking up Baccano! I saw the first ep a long time ago and was a bit confused, then I saw the second ep yesterday... Onosaka Masaya's performance as Isaac is so awesome it almost made me quiver. He's hysterical!

How would you rate it, on a 10 scale?

Hmm, I was watching Nodame Cantabile on a burned DVD, but my MacBook's DVD drive isn't working anymore! I'm totally devastated!

Absolutely a 10. I'm not surprised you found the first episode confusing]highly[/i] recommend it, as long as you aren't too opposed to violence/gore. Because it IS gory, more so than the loss of head or fingers that you see in the first episode. XD Violence and gore aside, it's an incredibly fun series, and I really hope you continue watching it. :D

Also, yes. Isaac and Miria are "AMAZING." XD

Heh. I... don't do that well with gore. At all. It's scary. The first episode was already a bit much for me.

HOWEVER! Since I enjoyed episode 2 (and the opening sequence XD) so much and since you gave such a positive review, I think I will give it a chance and close my eyes during the scary parts!

as Radical Dreamer said, the series is quite gory and bloody, more so in the latter half of the series. i suggest to continue through the series until you reach a point that you really can't handle (IF you ever do reach a point that you can't handle).
speaking of Baccano!, i just finished episode 12 subbed, courtesy of Radical Dreamer.

Ah, okay. XD Well, let me give you a heads up then:

[Spoiler=VIOLENCE. D:]Episode 4 -- A character punches another in the face over and over and over again, and it's pretty bloody.

Episode 9 -- A character holds another character's face/arm down to train tracks while the train is moving

Episode 11 -- A character strangles another character until his neck breaks, a character bites off another character's fingers. A character also holds another character's hand down to the train tracks while the train is moving.

Episode 12 -- A character's eyes are poked with a burning rod, though nothing is shown. Also, we see how the character in episode 1 lost most of his arm.
[/Spoiler]


I THINK that's everything, though I'm certain I've forgotten something. xD There are other instances of people getting shot, etc., but this is the worst stuff that you should watch out for. Other than that, I hope you enjoy it if you choose to continue!

You chose the wrong color for the spoiler thing, it's perfectly visible. You don't need to highlight it.

Baccano! episode 12
Cowboy Bebop episodes 20-24
Jyuushin Enbu "Hero Tales" episode 4
Kaiji episode 7
Slayers Next episode 17-20

As for violence in Baccano!
[spoiler]A good majority of the cast revolves around the American mafia, so violence is pretty much a given, including but not limited to gunshots, knives, beheadings, beatings, brief torture, being ground against rail road tracks at high velocity, and "Alchemic cannibalism," which I'll leave to your imagination. Not to mention Four characters in particular who are fond of enacting the above and other methods of physical violence.[/spoiler]

Black Jack was interesting.I think what really was most interesting was that they actually had a medical consultant working on it so all the medical stuff was pretty accurate.
