    Black Lagoon "Burakku ragn". Simply incredible.
    Story begins with a group of mercenaries that take as a hostage some random business man "Rock" but little do they know Rock will join us, quit his job and join this group of mercenarier and their journeys within some of the most corrupted, depraved, dark corners of the world. The other perk you get to this show is this insane, crazy, killing "chick" (cuz i can't say **tch), that is deffinetly the main attraction in this show. Her name is Revy and is one twisted woman. Truth being told without her they would've been dead countless of times. She is tough, enjoys killing people, drinks, smokes and curses more then anyone else in the show. Dutch who is a large African-American Vietnam veteran and the commander of their small boat, and Benny, a computer geek, and a non-violent person, much like Rock, Well if you're looking for action/violence/gore/anime/drama this si the perfect choice for you. Enjoy!moreless

  • This anime is just awesome.

    First of, this show starts off with a man named Rock, he is a businessman in Japan, he had to go to the overseas to deliever a package though his package was taken from a group of pirates. The pirates are Revy, Dutch, and Benny. Revy is a bada$$ woman that is highly skilled at shooting and fighting, Dutch is the leader of the group, and Benny is the computer nerd. Later on, Rock decides to join them by during errands throughout the episodes. The violence is pretty heavy, there is guns blazing most of time and there is also blood and gore which you will see. There is a lot of bad language, the character that mostly cusses the most would be Revy. Alcohol/smoking themes are also seen in the show, you see like almost every adult smoke and drink. Last but not least, there is humor in the show as well to make the show not so boring which is a good thing.

    Overall, this anime is really great, though, I recommend this show for older teens and up, even though you are not really into anime, this show would make you like it if you gave it a try and keep watching it, it won't disappoint you.moreless

    There's something about this show that makes it completely new. The story line is different, and the setting and atmosphere is new to media. Also the action is crazy amazing. In my opinion one of the most fascinating action anime using guns. This has a interesting plot and characters. My only complaint is that the 2nd season's episodes sometimes have nothing to do with each other. The show is comprised of smaller stories. The second season was still good, but it seem a little out of place. The first season though is amazing. By far one of my favorite anime.moreless

  • This is an amazing show my only complaint is that it only ran for two seasons... we need more!

    The plot follows Rokuro Okajima (Rock) an ordinary japanese businessman who is kidnap for ransom whilst on a bussiness trip. Things don't go quite according to plan for the pirates who kidnap him though when his boss cut's him lose and refuses to pay the ransom. Enraged by this Rock joins the pirates and becomes a member of the crew on the Black Lagoon. Along with his fellow pirates Rock takes on all manner of illegal jobs.

    This show is utterly original. The plot is brilliantly written and the characters are very well formed and fantastically acted. The storylines are very well convieved with fantastic elements of comedy and action mixed together. This is a great show and I encourage everyone to check it out for themselves.moreless

  • Follows the misadventures of Rock a Japanese business man ends up abducted by pirates and then screwed by his own company. After that he ends up becoming one of the pirates unconventionally, hes the honest man out of the group.moreless

    This series is awesome in my opinion mainly it has comedy, action, plot, focuses on the antihero. I like anime but I tend to hate how they work in a show sense. They drag on and on with a story or instead of getting to the story they have too much filler episodes that were pointless other than to let the manga catch up or be ahead. I also love the violence I mean it goes over the top not cartoony wise just violence wise its psychotic but acceptable. In my opinion its acceptable as a cartoon goes except not for children. It has some awesome qualities like the rip off church, the mercenari9es are colorful and interesting but creepy as hell all at once. Final points are its not for everyone can get a bit violent if you enjoy anime or enjoy violence and swearing, and other things involving debauchery and psychos then I suggest you watch it. If not don't go anywhere near it.moreless
