Similar styles, both historical pieces, though perhaps the reason for the similar style lies with the time period the series take place in, thus affecting the clothing choices, music choices, etc. while both have fast-paced plots and not in the "it's rushed". Of course, one major difference lies in 91 Days having no fantastical elements as Baccano! does, so that might be a buzz kill for some, though not for others.

Both take place in the US in the 20's/30's. They are animated similarly, have similar music, and could later be comparable in other ways.

These are two period pieces that showcase very similar eras of American history (Baccano! takes some creative liberties with that though). They feature excellent character drama and development, and both feature similar themes of revenge and deceit. They have great soundtracks that really capture the era. Bacanno is a bit more ridiculous and goofy, especially a certain pair of characters, but it really helps to balance the mood.
Both of them deals with mafia and share the same setting (America circa 20s-30s).
Set in the same sort or place at the same sort of time, with a similar art style and similarly large cast. Two very fast paced trigger-happy shows with winding storylines full of intrigue.
Baccano is more light hearted and has more of a fantasy element whereas 91 Days is grittier and more rooted in reality.
Both of them take place during the Prohibition Era.

These gangster series are both set during the prohibition era and hearken back to classic Hollywood films. They also utilize relatively subdued artstyles.

It's an obvious reccomendarion, isn't it?
Probably you're right, but i want to say:
"If you enjoyed Baccano!, but you didn't appreciate the supernatural aspect of it, then you'll love 91Days: same settings, great storylines, characters with deep personality and random italian names. You can't think about something better!"
But remember that there is less action in 91Days, in particular the fights are more realistic and less spectacular.
What? You don't mind and you want to watch a great anime?? Then go for 91Days!

Same setting: United States, Prohibition area. While Baccano! has a more unique way to tell a story and fantasy elements, 91 Days manages to be just as entertaining with a more straightforward plot and an actual ending. Also with mafia characters, blood and violence, 91 Days is perfect if you want to fill the void left by Baccano! It did for me, at least.
Both have a 1920's setting; with both looking at the themes of the Mafia and the illegal underworld.
The use of knife fights within both series also makes both very gripping.
91 Days and Baccano are both set in the American 1920/30s, with similar animation styles. Both revolve heavily around mafia v. mafia and involve both knife and gun fights.
The main differences and that Baccano has more of a fantasy element and also can be a bit lighter (because of its comedic characters). Seeming to the contrary, Baccano is also a bit more graphic violence wise.
But overall, very similar atmosphere in both shows.
Both have similar settings, mafia related stories and set in the US in the same era. Although 91 days don't have supernatural themes.
both are action types set in a western frame

If you're looking for a really amazing mafia anime then look no further! Both include similar themes whilst being very different in many ways but both can keep you on the edge of your seat with the amazing story and tension.

I'm not the biggest fan of historical shows, but both 91 Days & Baccano kept me engaged the entire way through. Both of these shows have really great characters, those that standout a lot and just are insanely likeable. Both are brutal & don't hold back with murder, gore, but still keep it at a reasonable level. And the biggest similarity is that neither has "mini" arcs, it's a one big story that continues going all the way through.
The time periods of 91 Days and Baccano! are in the prohibition era of America, with a rich historical feel to them. Baccano! and 91 Days have the main characters of the show apart of mafias. However, 91 Days is a bit more serious and dark-toned compared to Baccano!'s friendship mystery. Nonetheless, these animes are both highly enjoyable to watch.

1) Main plot revolves around mafia
2) Takes place in US in the 20's/30
3) Similar character design
4) The OST has the "mafia era" vibe
Very similar aesthetic and setting, although 91 Days is a bit more grounded in reality.
It is quite similar to Baccano in many ways. I'll keep this short: same type of storytelling, same atmosphere, this anime awakens the same feeling of anticipation as Baccano does, very tense, dark and interesting plot, setting of the story is in Prohibition-era in USA, mafia clans and wars included. It also looks like it will be brutal and it will involve a lot of vengance and character interweaving. 10/10 so far.

Both are extremely violent, dark, take place in the 20s, involve crime mobs. Baccano! has an ensemble cast while 91 Days follows one young man, but they have a similar feel.
Animes with similar contexts, both are embedded in the mafia world.

They are similar in world setting. Although 91 days is much more grim, Baccano! definitely is not short on its twisted aspect with a touch of delightful comedy~! The feel of each show is also similar from my experience watching them but it will evoke different reactions upon watching.

Baccano! and 91 days are similar in many ways, if we take the general ambiance and the universe of both of them, with the prohibition, the gun figth etc. We are in the same thing.
The major differences are the story way much darker in 91 days and there is no supernatural thing in 91 days

They kinda take place in the same period of time, but I personally think it improves the formula by adding a more interesting storytelling and a bunch of likable characters. Just watch Baccano!

if you like anime with gangster story then, maybe both of them you are looking for. personally i'd like 91 days more than baccano!, but more importantly they have deep story that you must watch. baccano! is a popular anime, but 91 days is underrated anime atleast in my region.
Both shows are violent, bloody, and set in a time before modern technology. Both have gangsters and mafia.
Baccano has the setting and art style of 91 days with the characters and world-building of Durarara along with a tone somewhere between the two shows. If you like shows dealing with mafia, both Baccano and 91 days are great watches.
The plot is set during the prohibition era and focuses on the lives of various mafia groups during that period. The only noticeable difference between these two is that "91 days" does not have any supernatural elements in it.
Both are set in American 90s with similiar animation style. Both potraits mafia and presents a better view of society. Just that 91 days gives some revenge and resentful emotions while baccano is a ride of comedy, thriller, magic and action.
uhm actually they give me same vibes but baccano is happier than 91 days so if you like old time anime's you should watch these two :')
both of them are underrated and both of them are set in the 1900s.
Similar vibe, story is set around nearly the same time period. Both dubs are great too.
Both have a mafia theme and have a very similar atmosphere.

Both are historical themed animes, but while 91 Days is a more down to earth series about mafias and revenge, Baccano! involves magic and similar topics.

Anyone looking for that early 20th century aesthetic should give this duo a try. Whether you want more story (Baccano!) or great animation (91 Days), these two are sure to have you blowing your wig.
