It's the Prohibition era, when organized crime reigns supreme with illegal booze and violence. Nowhere else is this more apparent than in the Lawless district. As the name indicates, the law has no presence there, allowing The Mafia to flood its streets with cheap alcohol... often mixed with blood. This is the territory that the Vanetti family calls home. Lead by Don Vincent, they have made a name for themselves in this no-man's land, but even that isn't enough to stop domestic mob wars and outside influences from creeping in. It's at this time that Nero, Vincent's oldest son, must protect all that the Vanetti family stands for. With his subordinates, Vanno and newcomer Avilio, he plans to ensure its prosperity and future...What Nero doesn't realize is that Avilio is a False Friend who wants to kill every last Vanetti family member, even if it's the last thing he'll do. Once, he was Angelo Lagusa. He lived a quiet life with his family, but came to an end when the Vanetti hitmen appeared at their doorstep. With his parents and younger brother gunned down before his eyes, he barely managed to escape the assassins. He hid himself away for seven years, but after receiving a certain letter, he returned to the Lawless district. On his mind is only one thing - revenge.This is a story about crime, family, murder, friendship, and revenge. And, in 91 days, it will all end with two fire-forged friends trying to kill each other.91 Days is an anime Crime Drama TV series produced by studio Shuka.

Anyone Can Die
 91 Days / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: The series begins with the murder of Angelo's family, and the body count rapidly escalates from there. By the end, Nero is the only character from the main cast who is confirmed to still be alive, and even he might not have much longer to live due to the Galassia family hunting him. The Ambiguous Ending suggests Avilio/Angelo might also be alive, but that's up to interpretation.

Green-Eyed Monster
 91 Days / int_1d2400e9
comment
Green-Eyed Monster: Episode 2 implies that the real reason why Vanno dislikes Ronaldo so much is because he has feelings for Fio. As time goes on, Corteo becomes more and more jealous of Nero due to him and Avilio getting closer, even though he knows that the "brotherly bond" growing between them is just a sham so the latter can get his revenge. This leads to him betraying the Vanettis in episode eight by giving the Fango family Nero's schedule so they can assassinate him, along with the promise of the recipe for Lawless Heaven. Much in the vein of Corteo, Barbero grows both jealous and suspicious of Avilio due to the latter ingratiating himself to Nero and becoming his right hand man.

 91 Days / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Early in episode 1, young Corteo states that candles burn because they have paraffin in them. Later in the episode when they're grown up and fighting Fango, he and Avilio use candles as ingredients for Molotov Cocktails. The playhouse is introduced early on as the great building under construction that will be the Vanettis pride when it opens. Naturally it's maiden performance is the time of a major event in the plot.

comment
Ironic Echo: In episode 1, when Corteo sheltered Angelo on the night his family was killed, he told him, "Starting now, you and I are brothers. And we always will be". Seven years later, in episode 7/8, Avilio tells Nero, "Starting today, I'll be your brother." This line, which Corteo just happens to overhear, shows how distant Avilio is growing from Corteo in pursuit of his revenge, and contrasts Corteo's sincerity when he said it to Avilio with the way that Avilio means it as an insidious lie to Nero.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 91 Days / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: This is one cynical show. Our protagonist is an unfettered Nominal Hero on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, whose goal is repaying the evil done to him without any regard for what it costs. The person who sent him the letter with his enemies' names in the first place turns out to be manipulating Avilio for his own power. The setting, Lawless, is a Wretched Hive where Police Are Useless and law-abiding citizens who resent the control of the Mafia can't do anything about it. The one idealistic cop, Delphy, doesn't even last one episode before Lawless chews him up and spits him out. Nothing changes regardless of which family is in power, and the cause of all their fratricidal killing is Inherent in the System. In contrast to Avilio, who doesn't believe in anything, both Nero and his father Vincent commit dirty deeds in the service of a higher purpose: peace with the Galassias, and long-term survival for the Vanetti family, which they believe can provide for and protect their loved ones. In the end, everyone except Strega loses. Avilio manages to tear down the ideals of Vincent and Nero, but just destroying someone else's happiness doesn't give him something Worth Living For.

comment
Ambiguous Ending: In the last episode, Nero pulls the trigger, the shot rings out, and he drives away without Avilio, which implies that he killed him. However, we never actually see Avilio get shot, nor do we see his body afterwards, and because of how the situation resembles the night seven years ago when Nero missed Avilio as he ran away, the possibility remains that he missed Avilio and let him go.

The Stinger: After the episode seven end credits roll, there is a 12-second scene in which Nero is grieving for his brother Frate. Avilio puts his hand on Nero's shoulder and says: "Starting today, I'll be your brother." Another one in episode 11 after the credits have rolled, Avilio has made it out of the playhouse and, about to pass out from blood loss, he briefly hallucinates the presence of Corteo before him, but it's actually Strega standing there, watching him without any expression on his face.

Gory Discretion Shot: The moments when Vincent's men shoot Angelo's family members aren't actually shown on camera. It cuts to Angelo watching from the closet when Testa gets shot, and when they shoot Elena and Luce the screen goes black, then focuses on a portrait of Luce spattered with blood. Angelo sees their blood-stained bodies immediately afterward. The killing of Fango in episode eight starts out graphic, and then continues behind a curtain and in silhouette.

comment
Downer Ending: Avilio gets his revenge by bringing destruction upon the Vanetti family, but he has sacrificed his Childhood Friend Corteo to do it, and he finds no satisfaction in having avenged his family or in continuing to live. The reason that Vincent killed off Avilio's family in the first place was to prevent the Galassias from taking over the Vanettis, but Avilio ruins his lifelong efforts so that the Galassias exterminate the Vanettis and their followers. This puts Lawless under the control of the Galassias' new Don, Strega, who is far worse than his uncle. Nero flees from the Galassias with Avilio in tow, and on one last somber road trip they have to confront how they have ruined each other's lives and can never take it back. On the seashore, Nero either does or doesn't put Avilio out of his regrets by killing him, and drives away with his Galassia pursuers following close behind.

The Reveal: Episode nine reveals two important details about the night of the murder: Nero didn't actually shoot any of the Lagusa family members, and Ganzo was the fourth man, as well as the anonymous person who wrote the letter to Avilio all along. Episode eleven reveals the reason why Testa Lagusa and his family was targeted and later murdered (sans Angelo, though not due to lack of trying): he learned of Vincent's dealings with the Galassia family, which were being conducted behind the then-Don's back.

comment
Meaningful Name: Numerous character names' Italian signification are puns/revolve around possible symbolism of their role in the story. For instance, Frate (friar, from the latin 'frater', brother) is Nero's brother, Volpe (fox), a henchman who's asked to fetch a chicken at one point, Orco (ogre), an obese glutton his name being 'ogre', a man-eating giant, reflects the irony of his fate, Corteo (likely a funeral procession), Del Toro (the bull), a very resilient bodyguard, Galassia (galaxy), Tigre (tiger), Serpente (snake), Fango (mud), Gatto (cat), Corvo (crow), Ganzo (lover). Angelo, his father Testa and his brother Luce's names mean 'Angel', 'Head' and 'Light'.

Alone in a Crowd: In part of the opening credits sequence Avilio is walking down the sidewalk as crowds of people pass him in fast-forward, and a short distance away he sees his slain parents and little brother walking together at normal speed as if they were still alive. This isolation in a crowd represents how he is alienated from society and unable to move on with his life since the night when they were murdered, while the memories that continue haunt him spur his quest for vengeance.

An Offer You Can't Refuse: Extortion and arm-twisting abounds. A perfect example is Delphy, who is told to quit his investigation if he doesn't want them to kill his family.

Establishing Character Moment
 91 Days / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: You can tell a lot about each character from how they're introduced. For instance, in the flashback to the night of the murder, we learn something about each of the three kids while they're gathered around a candle, trying to do the trick where you snuff it out with your fingers. Luce hesitantly tries to do it but pulls back, asking Corteo if it really isn't hot. Corteo explains it's not the wick that's burning, but the paraffin the candle is made of, showing us he's smart; Luce challenges him to do it if he's so sure, innocent and curious. Even though Corteo understands how the trick works intellectually, he loses his courage when he actually tries to do it; Angelo is the one who cheerfully puts it out and acts like its no big deal, even though he had never done it before, which tells us that he's the brave one.

Arranged Marriage: Nero's younger sister Fio gets married off to Ronaldo in order to seal an alliance between the Vanettis and Galassias. Vanno claims she's marrying a man she doesn't even love for the sake of the family, but he may be a little biased by his implied feelings for her.

Rule of Symbolism: Throughout the show, each of the main characters does by his own hands what he has tried to avoid most in his life. In particular, each member of the Vanetti family brings his family closer to conflict and collapse, trying to save her; Corteo becomes a criminal, despite sincere hatred of the mafia; and Avilio himself kills his friend, although initially revenge for his relatives was his main goal in life.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In episode seven, Avilio murders Volpe in cold blood after the False Flag Operation in order to cover his tracks and incite the feud between Frate and Nero. In episode eight, Fango tells Corteo he doesn't need him anymore because Scusa stole the recipe from the documents Delphy confiscated from the Lodge. Fango already clubbed Scusa's head in with a golf club, and threatens to do the same to Corteo, but changes his mind and decides to rat him out to Nero instead.

Greater-Scope Villain: For the most part, the Galassia family. They don't have much of a presence in Lawless besides Ronaldo Galassia, but they are immensely powerful and headquartered in Chicago. As it turns out, the real reason Testa Lagusa and his family were killed was because Testa had discovered Vincent Vanetti was making secret deals with the Galassias behind the then-current Don's back. It is further revealed that everything Vincent did was to try and save the Vanetti family from being subsumed by the Galassias.

Bait-and-Switch Gunshot: In episode 11, Avilio enters the box where Don Vincent and Don Galassia are watching the show and fires his pistol. The camera cuts away as the shot rings out, and we're led to assume that he shot Vincent, but then we see that he instead shot Don Galassia in order to make the Vanettis and Galassias start killing each other, while leaving Vincent alive so he'll be forced to witness the ensuing carnage.

The Mafia in general wear the veneer of civilization and the mask of Family-Values Villain, putting "the family" on a pedestal as a benevolent institution founded on the Don's blood relatives looking out for each other and taking care of their underlings in exchange for their undying loyalty. They go to Mass, celebrate births and weddings, and talk about responsibility and honor, but at the end of the day there's no getting around the fact that what they do for a living destroys families, and that their so-called loyalty and honor can be bought at a cheap price. Their turf wars result in henchmen killing each other, as well as innocent bystanders who happen to get caught in the hail of bullets, and they consider each other's wives, mistresses, and children to be acceptable collateral damage. People switch sides and stab each other in the back all the time, including their own siblings. Don Orco holds lasagna to be more sacred than human life, condemning a chef to be Fed to Pigs for merely failing to please his taste buds. Fango may be one of the worst human beings in the show, but at least unlike the others he doesn't try to pretend to be anything but a murderous psychopath.

Hypocrite: It would be easier to keep track of who isn't a hypocrite in some way, as it seems to be a major theme of the show. Many of those charged to enforce the law, exemplified by Scusa, assure the public of their commitment to enforcing prohibition while actually turning a blind eye to the mob's bootlegging in exchange for a cut of the profits. The Mafia in general wear the veneer of civilization and the mask of Family-Values Villain, putting "the family" on a pedestal as a benevolent institution founded on the Don's blood relatives looking out for each other and taking care of their underlings in exchange for their undying loyalty.

Shame If Something Happened: Avilio brings up Delphy's four year old daughter in a way that's clearly meant as extortion. "You ought to take care of your family."

Dirty Cop

comment
Dirty Cop: Most of the cops in Lawless have been bribed to look the other way, and Delphy says that the Mafia have flourished for too long because the cops have been their loyal dogs.

Gangsterland

comment
Gangsterland: This story is set in a version of Prohibition era America where the cities are run by gangsters. The fictional Lawless District is a place where the authorities have virtually no power over the mob, and the Galassia family practically controls the city of Chicago.

The Secret of Long Pork Pies
 91 Days / int_f2a8ac6e
comment
The Secret of Long Pork Pies: Played with: Orco's Lieutenants and Executives are at first reluctant to eat Fango's Lasagna, not knowing what's inside it, but they all agree that it's delicious one they work up the courage to start eating. Then they realize that Don Orco went into it; they start throwing up, but it's unclear whether this was purely out of horror at the concept of cannibalism, or if there was also some kind of delayed bad reaction to the food itself.

Worth Living For
 91 Days / int_f43dc597
comment
Worth Living For: In the last episode, Avilio reveals that one of the main reasons he pursued his revenge is because he hoped he would find a reason to live by completing it, only to realize that there was nothing left in the end. As he and Nero walk along the seashore, the latter outright defies this trope by stating that you don't need a reason to live — "You just live."

Paying for the Action Scene
 91 Days / int_f6f2994f
comment
Paying for the Action Scene: A belated version occurs in episode 5, when Avilio and Corteo return to the bar on the island where they fought Fango in episode 1. Avilio places a bottle on the table, causing the barkeep to ask incredulously if he's still trying to sell his stuff, but Avilio says it's payment for the fire; the rest is waiting in the boat.

External Combustion: Nero's men rig the car sent to pick up Delphy's wife and daughter to explode when the key is inserted in the ignition. They escape the blast, but the experience of nearly losing his family breaks Delphy's will to continue.

Beware the Nice Ones
 91 Days / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Corteo is a nerdy, mild mannered young man who's only in it out of loyalty to Avilio and normally wouldn't hurt a fly. But back him into a corner and he's capable of killing Fango, whom everyone else had tried, and failed, to eliminate.

MacGyvering: In episode 1, Avilio & co. are cornered by Fango in the church-turned-bar. They escape by melting candles in booze, while Fango keeps shooting at them. Then they throw the bottle at the maniac, who shoots it down with glee. What do you get by mixing candles with alcohol? Molotov's cocktail.
