Product Description

Rokuro Okajima is meek, mundane and metropolitan. His business trip to South East Asia turns from pleasure cruise to festival of pain when modern day pirates board the ship and take him hostage. Revy, Dutch and Benny are merciless, maniacal and mean. Together, they make up the crew of the Black Lagoon. They are the exact opposite of Rokuro in every way but one? A mercenary group out has targeted them to steal the data disc that Rokuro had, and with it, classified information that threatens the peace and security of the entire world! Amen. Hallelujah. Peanut Buttet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heir To Cowboy Bebop's Throne., January 7, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

Like any other artform, not all Anime is good Anime. But what keeps the genre alive? Series like "Black Lagoon"! Like "Cowboy Bebop", Black Lagoon has all the action, gunplay, fisticuffs and rawness of a good adult feature film. But what sets Black Lagoon (and Cowboy Bebop, for that matter) apart is its sophistication. Both series are politically, culturally and socially concious. Black Lagoon delves into "exsistential" issues, such as: Communism, child abuse, corrupt government, political oppression, etc... While not taking sides nor being too preachy. the action gets your attention. But the issues and character depth KEEP your attention. Definately worth owning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lock 'n' load!, May 16, 2009

By	Elwin B. Coldiron "classic cartoon fan" (Kennewick, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black Lagoon: Season 1, Vol. 1 - Limited Edition (Steelbook) (DVD)

Thank goodness FUNimation decided to pick-up this title (although Geneon still holds the license). This series is one non-stop shootfest! Revy is as sexy as she is cold-blooded, and WILL perforate you if you look at her the wrong way! However, the one calming instance is Rock, with his almost-innocent view of life. I should've read the description of the order though, since I thought I was getting the complete series, not just volume one and the steelbook. However, I've completed collecting the entire series and am working on the second season (one disc left).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great anime series that came in under the radar, December 31, 2008

By	L "DealerOfChaos" (Waltham, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Lagoon: Season 1, Vol. 1 - Limited Edition (Steelbook) (DVD)

This is an excellent anime series full of action laughs and tears. The reason why this limited edition is priced at 34.99 is because this looks like an original Geneon manufactured DVD which Geneon is out of buisness so its hard to come across this item at actually a low price.
