Review of Black Lagoon

So what makes Black Lagoon so good? The characters! All very well developed with distinct and entertaining personalities. They compliment each other very well. They all had their role in the Black Lagoon Company. I found myself watching this series more to see how the characters would interact with the plot more than the plot itself. The ending was great settling the on-going dispute throughout the series between Rock and Revy. The only short coming to this series is its episodic nature. This show would have really benefited with another overarching story that super cedes these missions the Black Lagoon goes on. Forthis reason I cannot put it up with the great masterpieces of anime but just under it with a 9.
