Black Lagoon. General Discussion

[MiuTheTease]

Black Lagoon is actually a new addition to my favorite anime series. I found the plot unique in its own way and the fact that you never knew what was gonna happen next lol. Most of the cast did develop over the course of the series aside from Rock and Revi and even for them it wasn't a big leap. None the less I found it kinda cute how over time Revi seemed to warm up to Rock but never flat out expressed it other then threating to kill anyone who would harm him lol. Black Lagoon is one of those series which could go on for as long as the creator wanted it to since its nothing more then a bunch of short events which conclude and then another happens. Having said that much I wish there was a 3rd season hehehe. Who knows it still might happen

[EchelonV]

Yeah, I really want another season too. A romance between Revy and Rock might kind of ruin her character a bit, but I wouldn't care since I'm a killer for romances. I was a little disappointed season 2 didn't have as much of Dutch and Benny though.

Black Lagoon was one of the better ones in the beginning too, I got hooked pretty fast.

The Yakuza Arc was probably my favorite, next to the Roberta one.

[MiuTheTease]

LOL Roberta was awesome and I could help but laugh when Rock pointed out she was like the Terminator and moments later there was a pretty obvious T2 reference with the car chase. While Roberta was undoubtedly a freak of nature I'm still curious to know how she managed to survive the blast from all those Frag Gerandes she dropped on to the floor from underneath her dress. Not to mention if I recall correctly she didn't even have a scratch when she walked out of the burning building:nani:. I agree the 2nd season didn't show Benny or Dutch as much though I was happy to see Eda get some more screen time. Speaking of the 2nd season it started off on a messed up note with those deranged twins. despite being antagonists I couldn't help but feel sorry for those 2, I mean they had a pretty jacked up child hood. Since those 2 where so insane I never could tell whether they were both girls and that the brother was just something the some how created in their broken minds or if one was actually a boy:6:. The Manga version only made things all the more complicated with them so in the end I just went with the theory of them both being girls but the only person who knowsthe real answer is the creator Rei Hiroe.

[EchelonV]

Yeah at first I really hated the twins, but then you do end up feeling a little sad for them because of their childhood. That was a good arc too.

And yeah, the Roberta stuff was a little too over the top sometimes, but I think they wanted to make that one a little more laid back and comical, heh. The Terminator references were just hilarious. I think that's why she survived the explosion too ... they just wanted to remake that scene of the T-1000 walking out of the fire, with her. Haha.

I kinda felt sorry for the owner of that bar as the series moved along it seemed like ever other episode it was either getting shot up, burnt beyond use and almost getting blown to bits. Man I doubt I could put up with that much chaos going on in my business. After the 1st shoot out I be all like "Seeya I'm out of here" lol. That guy must really have no where else to go if he still reopens shop over and over again after each little mini war. I thought it was hilarious how he started seeing Revi as a bad luck magnet since the worst kinda crap always happens when she shows up lol.

[EchelonV]

Haha, yeah the humor in this show was gold! Lots of racism too. :P

[primed]

Ive watched the first 3 eps but cnt find the rest, i like it.

[MiuTheTease]

I watched both seasons at animethat.com but that was almost 5 months ago so I don't know if the Black Lagoon links there still work or not since all vids on that site come from 2nd parties, but it worth a shot.

[moonstorm_2000]

Yeah...Black Lagoon was something I took a change on (it didn't look too good at first :-p) and I'm glad I did. The show is amazing, and its got nearly everything I want: gunfights, cool mercenaries, and hot women with guns. Its an amazing anime all-around, and I particularly like the Roberta arc and the first two or three episodes...ESPECIALLY when Dutch rams the helicopter with his boat...it doesn't get much better than that.

[MiuTheTease]

LOL Oh yeah the 1st ep when the Hind was chasing them and Rock came up with that crazy idea of using the half sunk ship as a ramp. Yeah it was pretty cool when Dutch finally made good use of at least one of his 2 torpedoes. The look on that crazy Merc commanders face when the Torpedo came at him and smashed through the cockpit window was priceless XD. Roberta's arc was cool for another reaon which has been mentioned and that was her suitcase and umbrella bot concealed weapons. LOL the suitcase even fired rockets, now thats just awesome.
