Review of Black Lagoon Omake
*Sigh*...no I didn't forget about this...I've just been dreading it ever since I saw the ratings on here and the cover for it....let's get this over with...: Story: Uhhh...well, just to name a few, a weird Rule 63 episodes happens where Rock and the other guys get turned into girls and vice versa with the girls, there's a comedy sketch as the last episode which is pretty dumb, Revy turns into a magic girl, and like three school episodes that are all just...weird after freshly coming off of watching the ACTUAL series so...yeah. Just your typical nonsensical fan-service stories. It's just weird to watch this after bingingthe entire series.
Art:
The art's creative and cute and the animation is expressive and nice just like anything Black Lagoon related would be. The visual gags are...okay, I guess, it's just kinda bland and weird to me. The animation overall is just...fine, I guess.
Sound:
I'm...don't hate the Japanese voices obviously, but seeing as I watched pretty much the entire series in dub, it's a little jarring to hear them, especially when they get weird with the voices for the sake of some throwaway gags...there's not really any crazy music, it's kinda goofy voicing and slapstick sounds and not much else.
Character:
The characters act either entirely OUT of character or its just them being overly exaggerated, it's not as annoying as I thought it would be, that being said it still kinda bugs me how some the characters completely don't act like themselves, even Higurashi's OVAs were kinda better because at their the characters have been established to have soft sides, while with this show we've mostly just seen em' shoot at each other and literally murder some of these characters, so it's just jarring and weird to see.
Overall:
...Honestly, this is up to you. This still didn't really hurt my love for the series, but it's certainly not something I'm gonna watch ever again like I would with the rest of the series. These were just...meh to ugh....if you're a fan of the show...I guess watch it at least once and see what you think. Other than that, don't even bother...
