5.0 out of 5 stars Just Getting better!, August 6, 2007

This review is from: Black Lagoon Volume 2 (DVD)

This anime had Extreme violence and strong language. It not rated PG, it rated 16+ age. This anime use the "F" word a lot, mostly on every episode.
For a price of $22.99 for 4 episode is a great price $5.75 for each episode. Run time's 100 min. is about 1 hour and 40 min. This DVD had 5.1 DTS audio(english) and 16:9 anamorphic wide screen. So it look and sound great in your HDTV and surround Sound system. The anime had good plot about a group of outlaw at Southwest Asia. There a lot of shooting than the first volume. In this volume contain semi-nudity, there a little love story between Revy and Rock. There're two good part in this volume is the maid's a very sexy maid name Roberta(is a woman), who's armed, carry a shotgun(cleverly disguised as an umbrella), second part is the next Volume of Black Lagoon, which Revy and Roberta will fight each other. This's going to be HOT! I don't want to spoil anyone until you see it.
But overall is a great DVD that worth your money, This anime is very similar to Cowboy Bebop style. Great drama, action, and comedy.
Very high recommandation/ Buy it.

Humor: adult swim unsure about air this on tv, they may air it or you can make them by fan-mail about this anime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Lagoon...Full Speed Ahead, July 16, 2007

By

This review is from: Black Lagoon Volume 2 (DVD)

The Saga of the Black Lagoon and it's unsavory crew continues as protagonists Rock and Revy, visit the gloomy remains of a German U-Boat to retrieve a Nazi-era painting. While inside the wreckage, Rock confronts Revy over the morality of their looting this wreckage and gains further insight into her brutal, nihilistic attitude...it all culminates to a fast-paced, exciting gun fight against neo-nazi storm troopers on board their ship. Unfortunately, for viewers of the Japanese version, hearing sea-faring, neo-nazi Sturmabteilung spout their overconfident bravado in Japanese robs these episodes of some of their realism. Next, Rock spends a day working odd jobs for Dutch with a reluctant Revy...still sore from their exchange in the submarine, Revy doesn't take too kindly to Rock's challenge that she look inside herself and confront her inner demons...Black Lagoon continues to be an exciting and at times, profound, anime. (The PG rating seems a little bit low given the high levels of graphic violence and profanity, so be warned)

3.0 out of 5 stars Mindless gun fights?, December 2, 2011

This review is from: Black Lagoon Volume 2 (DVD)

So now the fighting really begins, as the Black Lagoon crew get into it with Neo-Nazis. Well, kind of, these guys are really no match for our Heroes. Er...I mean they are no match for the pirates...or, to be honest, no match for Revy. The exchange, on the phone, between the real Nazi and Dutch is interesting and suggests another future exchange.
There is some tension between Revy and Rock but not really sure where that is going because I can never see them hooking up. Revy is WAY too unbalanced to be trusted with anything but a gun or a slice of pizza. She is, after all, nothing but a weapon. A mad, insane, unbalanced weapon.
Than there is the Maid. Who shows up just in time to force us to buy the next DVD.
No extras, no really plot twists. Not sure this story has a point to it but I will continue to follow it. Bought the third DVD because, frankly, I got it cheap. Really cheap. And want to see what Roberta does.
