Review of Black Lagoon

very explicitly cynical, remnants of marxist militias, shattered souls pertaining to emotional laboriousness finding ease and simplicity a calming station; from roberta to revy to rock - their inability to deal with their pasts presents only an obstacle to their desperately sought after interconnectivity. that there are people who are willing to forgive or forget is a separation from the cynical tone that overhangs a series's world informed by imperialism through globalization. these people are taking their personal struggles and expressing their politicism spatially, it's individual without being individual*ist* and it's everything i want. saying a massive "f--- you" to nazis by plugging them fullof holes. a violence rooted in a trauma that expresses itself in a therapeutically realized simulacrum of prior experience, analogized to mundanity. possibly the only mainstream anime of this period that dealt directly with racism against black people (even despite the relative lack of characterization for Dutch and Benny) - by the grace of God i find my marxism in the powers of myself in others; Your word, Lord.
