(Also, the French DVDs/BDs are still relatively affordable, but I imagine since you're in the business of English dubs you wouldn't be interested they have the Japanese and French audio tracks and French subtitles)
(As you can see on that page, the Collector's Edition is now priced around £230 - I'm lucky to have bought it back before the license expiry happened + caused the prices to skyrocket). Someone over on /r/Baccano was asking about the Japanese BDs recently and I ended up pointing them in the direction of Anime Ltd.'s standard Blu-Ray edition, which is priced at £30.
You can also always check your local libraries you never know, their anime catalogue may be bigger than you think.Īlso, while the USA DVDs/BDs may be out of print, the UK release by Anime Ltd is still a viable option if you're wanting to actually buy the series after all. If you have Netflix and live in the USA, you can still rent the DVDs via Netflix. Rewatching it in all three languages (Japanese, English, French), rewatching it after you've read all the novels currently out and then rewatching it again.oughta be a national pastime.) (As for dub vs sub recommendations, I say watch Baccano! in both languages because rewatching Baccano! is always the best of ideas. (You'll need a player that can play region B/2 discs, though). (And honestly, the great thing about the DVDs is that you'll be able to listen to the English dub commentary for episodes 04, 07, 09, and 15 - which you wouldn't be able to through streaming).Īlso: I know that the USA DVDs/BDs are way more expensive and hard to find now post-license expiry, but the UK editions by Anime Ltd (like this BD) are actually still relatively affordable if you were thinking you might like to own Baccano!. If either of you have Netflix (*and live in the USA), you can still rent the DVDs using Netflix's rental service! Or you can always try looking for the DVDs at your local libraries. However, this doesn't mean you're necessarily out of legal ways to watch it. (That's also why you can no longer purchase the season from Google Play. The reason you can't find any legal streams of it is because there aren't any Funimation and Hulu's distribution license expired on February 08, 2016. Doesn't spoil the anime or light novels - I kept the anime-spoiler faq separate, don't worry.) (I have written a FAQ for /r/Baccano that might be relevant. I'll be happy to help you out with all Baccano! matters at any time, truly I will! If you have any Baccano!-related questions (or simply want to talk about it, down the road) – you know who to ask. I'm very glad that you're interested in watching it and are actively looking for legal options, and I hope that at least some of this post will be useful for you. In the end, I realize that the legal avenues to watch Baccano! are limited and paved with money (and thus totally understand if none of them work out). Of course, if you live outside of the UK, you'll need to make sure you have either a region-free player or a player that can play Region B/2 discs. It's also not the only way to buy the Funimation DVDs/BDs I'd certainly suggest other online retailers, auction sites, and/or checking your local area for places tat might have them). (Obviously Amazon is not the only way to buy the Anime Ltd DVDs/BDs! I encourage you to find other avenues. Hm, looks like Amazon has no more stock of the DVDs, though some sellers are selling used versions around the same price. These days I suggest looking into the Anime Ltd standard BD edition, which at £30 is far more reasonable (reasonably affordable) compared to the Funimation prices. Trust me, I realize that Funimation DVD/BD prices have shot up post-expiry, which is why I'm not recommending those DVDs/BDs specifically. (And even if they don't have the Baccano! DVDs, a trip to the library is never a wasted one!).Īnd, naturally, you could try buying the DVDs/BDs (assuming nobody you know has them). You never know.maybe their anime DVD catalogues are more expansive than you might think. Well, you can always check your local libraries. So.no legal (western) streams to watch Baccano!, and no Netflix account to rent the DVDs with. Google Play's option to buy digital copies of each Baccano! episode? A thing of the past. Hulu's Baccano! streaming hub? No longer functional. So, FUNimation's once license expired on Feb 08, it had to pull its streams and could no longer print its DVDs/BDs. See, on February 08, 2016, Aniplex reverted its license for companies to stream/distribute Baccano!. I assume you're thinking of the Baccano! DVDs one still can rent from Netflix (USA), because – unfortunately – there is no legal way to stream Baccano! at this time.
