In Black Lagoon you'll see glimmers of Tarantino, the Coens, Leone, Woo and Peckinpah, but instead of fetishizing gunplay with slow-motion “ballet” (ugh, what a metaphor), slide kills and post-modern self-awareness, the show looks to Neitzsche, Heidegger and Sartre for meaning in its violence. In...

For my anime reviews I am going to review the anime on the order of which you would experience while watching an episode of the anime that is being reviewed. 1.Art - The art for this nyanime blew me away the first time I saw it, nyan. Instead of trying to make all the characters look purrfect the...

When Rokuro Okajima, an average Japanese businessman gets kidnapped by modern pirates, he must survive among these people, and in time befriend and join them. If you don't mind cursing or constant violence this may be the show for you. It's somewhat short, yes but it makes up for it in its consta...

Its literally one of the most kickass, not to mention "refreshing" series i've atched along with cowboy bepop, samurai champloo and similar others. I LOVE this anime because the female lead has been through a rough past and the way her character develops through the anime is quite amazing to watc...

As soon as you pop in the disc and watch Black Lagoon’s opening melody of flashy snippets of violence and broken English, one can’t help but feeling this is going to be another mindless shooter anime. However, with its grimy atmosphere, top notch writing, and characters which completely drench wi...

This is one of the only anime's I can honestly give 10 across the board without much hesitation. Black Lagoon is a anime about a mercenary company that takes on a very unlikely new member and their exploits in the southeast Asia seas. After finally accepting their new partner the team continues w...

Story: The story focuses on the adventures of a delivery crew who work in a land of crime. There is no overarching story and the series is told in several non-related mini-arcs, each ranging from one to four episodes. This makes the story more of a character driven affair, focusing on the develop...

This show is brilliant. In short, if you've watched Gurren Lagaan, watch Black Lagoon. If you haven't, watch a trailer for Gurren Lagaan, then watch Black Lagoon. The story kicks off with a bang with a businessman, known from the second episode onwards and from here on as Rock, is kidnapped by a ...

No spoiler!!!!!! Just recommending and understanding for those looking for a nice anime.......... In my opinion, the best anime that I watch and still the best. Black Lagoon is a mercenary/pirate anime about the adventure of the Black Lagoon company in which they are offer jobs by varies of peopl...

Note: This will be a review of the series in its entirety, namely both seasons and the OVA. Overview: "Black Lagoon" is an action anime that seems heavily inspired by the works of Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers. Before and while I was watching the series, I found a number of people say i...

This is a very nice anime to watch if you are just getting into anime. There's a basic enough story and will entertain you. It's a pretty basic show but fun and entertaining enough to enjoy watching it, I would recommend pretty much anyone to watch this. The only problem I really had is that ther...

Welcome to the city of Roanipur in South-East Asia where the show if predominately based. Be prepared to be hyped by the epic OP and badass duel wielding Two-Hands Revy and when he gets screen time Mr. Chang. Now before I get into the anime WARNING THIS IS A REVIEW OF ALL OF BLACK LAGOON. So this...

What with the whole crippling recession thing and the massive black stain currently tainting the south coast, it's easy to imagine corporations as heartless money grubbers oppressing the common man in order to maintain their all-night drug-fueled yacht parties. A young japanese businessman by the...

Pirates. The recent surge in the movie industry has given us the imagery of Johnny Depp, Davey Jones, Blackbeard, and other old world terms that we use to identify ourselves with pirates. This however, is where this gets off the bus and takes us into a whole new direction. We start off with ordin...

Black Lagoon is a purely action anime. When I first watched i was amazed at the action and nothing else. The second time i watched it i realized that the main characters had such great build ups on their histories. The down side is not all characters were detailed like Dutch(Bad ass with shotgun)...

When I first watch this, I knew full well that it was not my anime. People dying constantly over many things, survival, turf wars, power, revenge, etc. But I'm glad that this anime portray a certain aspect of life even though it was indisputable brutal and blunt. Another aspect is women. While I ...

This review is for both Black Lagoon seasons: Black Lagoon! Definitely one of my all time favorites. Story 10/10 All I will say is that I really like it. Won't give a summary in my review for obvious reasons. Art 9/10I really like the character designs and the animation is good. Nothing to compla...

It's no secret in anime over the last decade plus that barbaric violence and over the top comedy have been joined at the hip; therefore it's almost a guarantee that viewers will be treated to a title that wants to appeal to multiple audiences. While this is fine for a majority of anime fans, ther...

Wow! This is a very interesting story. It doesn't quite follow the conventional story line idea where there is a Villain and a hero. Its about a Japanese business man who gets involved, and joins a modern day pirate company. The villains are different every few episodes as are the packages. The c...

Shoot 'em up bang bang is best way for me to describe the theme of this series. I have a hard time digging around to find some gun-slinging anime that I can enjoy. My example of one would be Cowboy Bebop and the like. Now in terms of the story...the series is pretty episodic but it does seem to p...
