Review of Black Lagoon

Black Lagoon is absolutely a gem in the anime world. You can watch this if you really love anime. You can enjoy this if you've never seen anime. That's how good and natural all the characters and the pace of the story is. I had trouble deciding to give this a 9 or 10 but sadly Black Lagoon is a solid 9. Unlike other 10 shows like Cowboy Bebob, Black Lagoon has less depth to their main characters and the story, well the story just feels like nothing really matters in an everyday life of bandits and slums. Like the story could go on without anyof the main cast because of the lack of character interest. Sure, Cowboy Bebob had a similar base, but they had a sci-fi background. This is just a crew that barely have any chemistry and in a story where the action is more notable than the main cast.

The true 9 score in this anime is in the production quality and their ability to make such nice looking characters transition between mundane movements to high explosive scenes, not to mention, the joy of how each episode has a different plot going on.

I would say, this show would be a solid 10 if you just smashed together both seasons, and made Revy more attractive and less b word. But that's just me.
