Review of Black Lagoon

I didn't know what to expect diving into this show, which is probably the best way to dive into any show. I'm eagerly waiting for Final Fantasy XV to drop so I'm watching a few older shows to tide me over before I start binge playing that. The honest truth is that if you have not hit puberty yet, this show will cause your balls to drop, put hair on your chest. Or if you're a woman your tits will bounce out to C or D cups immediately and it'll make you wet. Black Lagoon is not a show for children, by the way, so if youdecided to accelerate your growth by watching it, don't blame me. Also, you will learn a buttload of racist slurs from this show. It probably sets the record for the amount of times "fuck" is said in a series as well.

This show follows Lagoon company, a bunch of mercenaries that follow jobs to earn money. Black Lagoon succeeds in being a hilarious slice of life, and romantic comedy the likes never before seen. It sort of makes wading through a pile of moe trash to witness this (as in biblically witnessing) masterpiece worth it.

Most of the characters in this show are psychotic murderers, which makes them very charming, except the protagonist "Rock" who can talk no jutsu these psychopaths down and live to tell the tell. What a badass.

The only real weakness I found in this show is that there's a certain sequence between two girls that should have been better animated. Come on, it was supposed to be a fistfight, a good opportunity to go into some grade A sakuga and the show failed on that, especially when it's used in other sequences. I was pretty disappoint in that segment of the show, but the rest of it makes up for this wild ride that Black Lagoon takes the audience on.
