Baccano's Isaac and Miria
After watching Baccano!, a TV adaptation of Ryohgo Narita's light novel series (also know for Durarara!! and Vamp!), I stubbled upon this picture on the internet. Baccano! is an anime series that doesn't seem very different or special. But after giving it some thought, this series couldn't be more stunning. First of all the plot starts with multiple and non synchronized stories. It travels through the past and the present of most of its characters and it isn't until the last episodes that you can completely grasp their correlation. It generally involves mafia, alchemy, guns, immortality and several love affairs. The way they are all introduced to us is not always smooth but it only helps your getting more interested in the plot. Last but not least the last anime episode (13th, 3 OVA following after that) ends with the conclusion that in this story there is no protagonist. What an amazing way to close up! And two of those characters who don't get to be called protagonists are Isaac and Miria. A couple that amazed me from the first scene of their appearance. We see them through all of the episodes just having fun and doing what their hearts desire. They don't care about time, rules, consequences! Being together is all they need, they are totally made for each other. They seem to have no clue about the way this world functions. They can't understand evil when they see it. They show love to everyone they meet, so they all love these two. There are living in a world of their own, they don't have worries and they don't even have any fights. Miria worships Isaac so much that she finds everything he says fascinating and completes his every phrase. Isaac cares only for her in a innocent and not lusty way. In the end of the series they are given the gift of immortality, without understanding it, since there are not the sharpest people one could meet. So we see them in 2001, almost 70 years later, realising not having aged at all, going mad and deciding to throw a party everyday, celebrating life and spreading love. WHAT A COUPLE! <3
