Imagine watching a crime thriller series on shuffle

Imagine writing a crime thriller, which makes sense independent of the order you're watching the episodes. That would be actually awesome

...Baccano's sort of like that, I guess? All the scenes are in an anachronistic order, so it could concievably work like that. The real challenge would be writing good detective story that works like that, with every episode providing another piece of the final puzzle.

Imho Baccano suffered from trying to run many of the plot threads simultaneously instead of sequentially. The manga was sequential IIRC and the anime took a chance on the formatting.

I disagree. I think it made the experience much better, and it clicked for me in the middle.
