Review of Black Lagoon

The visual quality is incredible and if you are looking for a dark-themed anime this is the one you are looking for. Even though the character development needed further work I still liked this anime. There are a few episodes that are a bit to hard to the eye because of the story itself (it is focused in the worst of human nature, from kidnapping, torture, pornografy, blackmailing and of course killing) but if you have the guts then is a good choice. The music is somehow the right choice for this show but I found it repetitive at a long term. The best aspect of thisanime is the way it shows the "twisted" nature of human beings. This is the second anime I've seen that focuses on the worst aspects of the human psyche (not a bad thing) and it is that difference which makes you want to see it. As I said before just watch it if you really want to witness the wickedness of the human beings.

Even though theres a lot of action through every episode, the most interesting thing is the relationship between Revy and Rock. Being that Revy has seen a lot of violence in her life (and lived through it) she has a different perspective than an ordinary citizen. On the other side, Rock is your ordinary co-worker, someone bound to do anything to please his boss. This combination of personalities is what really makes the show. While Revy only wants to kill everyone that steps in her way, Rock always tries the less direct approach. Everything to avoid casualties. Obviously this carries its own set of problems for Revy, but with every episode you get to see a change of heart from both of them.
Almost every other character has less to no importance at the long run, and most characters only make an appearance for a few episodes before being forgotten.
