Review of Black Lagoon

When I first hears the title I thought it was some fantasy or horror show like "The creature from black lagoon." or something like that...then when I actually saw the series, I was in for a big surprise coz the series was way different from what I pictured. so here's the Drill: The series follows the mis-adventures of Revy, Dutch, Benny, and Rock, the merry (seriously....joking) crew of Black Lagoon, a transport team that delivers anything from guns to people,anything! Basically that's the story... Art: There are only a number of anime that have outstanding art...and This is one of them. The perfect balance between anime lookand realism. The background look so real! the characters are very well made.Heck Revy herself is a babe! XD The real masterpiece of the series is the way the transportations and WEAPONS (especially the weapons/guns!) were drawn. If you look at the guns of the characters closely, they are detailed right to the smallest part. And they looks like they're real life counterpart. How you see the real thing is how the gun was drawn. Animation is superb as well and very real. When the characters fire a gun, you'll see the bullets bounce on the ground. And they reload after a number of shots....and probably the best thing I like about this anime is the characters facial expressions. Take Revy for example, when she's curious you could really see how curious she is same is when she's angry and serious.

Sound:
Same with the art. The sound is top notch as well. The voice acting is awesome...the characters voice fit them very well. Oh i'm talking about the Japanese dub, I haven't heard the english dub yet. The Opening song is good. I was actually shocked, I didn't expect the Opening song to be an English song. You really can't tell coz of the singers accent...hehe...the Ending song is slow and mellow but it's good. It gives a calming feeling after all the gunfire, action and excitement...

Character:
Despite the story not being that great, the characters here more than make up for it. The thing that makes thins series great is the character development. You can see as you continue with the series, how the characters change. How each one became stronger with each episode.

Overall:
An awesome anime for those who love girls, guns, and lots of action.
It's a great show, the only downside about this is that it's very short, only twelve episodes but there's a second season! XD
