The typical joke leveled at Kanon and other similar shows is that the characters’ appeal can be summarized by calling them “damaged goods.”

I find myself watching Baccano! (and the extra episodes which have started coming out recently) waiting for the moments which show just how off-kilter or mentally deranged some of the characters are. And every time they bring in a new and even more damaged character it just makes me want to watch more. Ladd Russo and his twisted code of ethics (if you can call only wanting to kill people who don’t want to die a “code of ethics”), Graham Specter’s endless rambles, if there’s a manly equivalent to the “damaged goods” type of moe this must be it.
