Black Lagoon

Synopsis
What happens when a kidnapping victim decides not to go home is the setup for Black Lagoon, a gritty 12-episode action series from Madhouse set in Roanapur, a fictional city in Thailand where every criminal organization on the planet seems to have a base of operations. Rokurou Okajima, nicknamed Rock, is a mid-level company drone on a routine business trip when things go sideways fast. His employers get the ransom note, decide he's not worth the money, and leave him for dead. So Rock does the only reasonable thing: he joins the crew that kidnapped him. That crew is the Lagoon Company: Dutch, the calm and calculating leader; Benny, the tech guy; and Revy, a gunslinger who handles most of the show's considerable violence with unsettling enthusiasm. The real tension isn't the gunfights, though those are fluid and well-choreographed. It's watching Rock try to hold onto his ordinary-person morality while operating in a world that has absolutely no use for it. He's not a fighter. He thinks differently than everyone around him, and the show is genuinely interested in what that costs him. If you've watched Jormungand or Gangsta. and wanted something a bit more character-focused, this scratches that itch. Cowboy Bebop fans will recognize a similar energy, morally complicated adults, great atmosphere, no clean resolutions. It's a seinen title, and it earns that label.

Superb action from Revy, I love how she demonstrate her skills to beat all the enemies in this Episode. Cannot wait for next job they received from Balalaika and see the combat action from Revy.
I like Rock character development compare to previous episode and him showing his brilliant idea to fight the enemy. This is getting more exciting to see what happen to Rock in the future.
¿Podemos de hablar de la forma en que Revy dijo "RPG"? Fue una escena chistosa y muy buena la verdad. Espectaculares escenas de combate de Revy con Chan (buen equipo) y también la de Revy esquivando los shurikens. Espero que tenga un buen final de temporada este anime.
Debo de admitir que me entretuvo más la historia de Roberta que la pelea entre Revy y ella del "principio". Igualmente es un buen episodio por la combinación excelente que hicieron. En la pelea final de puños, se evidenció quién era mejor. Buen intento de Rock para pararlas.
Un final decepcionante para ser honesto. No se siente como un final de temporada, es como si siguiera de largo. A pesar de ello, las batallas sencillas con Revy y la de "hablar indio" son entretenidas. Lo que sí no me esperé fue ese disparo... El disparo que terminó todo...
Esto es cine. Una historia sencilla para comenzar y minutos después Roberta se carga a todo el mundo. Un duelo de mirada largo entre Revy y Roberta de chill, tiempo después la Roberta se tira como 15 granadas al piso y sale viva del bar. Pura acción de la buena en este episodio.
Apareció un nuevo personaje enigmático y con bastante poder. Inofensiva a simple vista, pero Balalaika se dio cuenta enseguida: "esta tiene mirada de asesina". Me dejó con bastante hype el final ya que podremos ver en el siguiente episodio de lo qué es capaz esta sirviente.
Definitivamente Rock se rebeló contra Revy, le demostró que está cansado de que siempre le pase lo mismo. Revy se niega aceptar lo que le dice Rock pese a que sea cierto, nuevamente casi mata a alguien de los suyos... Me encantó la confrontación y el final, buena pareja hacen.
This is 2006 Anime, but I still feel this is relevant up till today. The animation and fighting style got me hook up, and first impression of each character is good as well. One thing though, I do not recommend watching this anime with kids since the overall tone quite heavy.
Este fue el episodio en donde Revy pudo descargar toda su rabia en matar. Disparo por aquí, disparo por allá, hasta casi mata al Dutch por no controlar su mente. Lo que sí me deja con intriga es cómo se resolverá el problema entre Revy y Rock, ver si se podrán llevar bien.
Rock, persona que ve valor emocional en las cosas vs Revy, persona que ve valor útil en las cosas. Qué profunda la visión de Revy sobre el mundo... Me gustó mucho la forma en que mostró su pensamiento, el preguntando qué eran esos dos objetos para Rock y su historia después.
it is a powerful season finale that immediately makes you want to continue with the next part. It resolves several tensions while opening deeper ones, especially Rock’s internal struggle. If someone wants to understand why Black Lagoon has so many fans, this episode is a great example.
Un episodio tranquilo la verdad. La primera mitad fue puro contexto para la misión y siento que lo podían haber hecho más rápido. Acción mínima con una "batalla" pequeña. Lo que sí es increíble es que por un cuadro de esos ya te paguen 50000$, hago la misión hasta por 20000$.
Este episodio es una montaña rusa y aplica muy bien los principios de cómo tener a un espectador interesado. De un momento de conversación de pasados pasó a acción pura por parte de Revy. La verdad yo también me quedé como Rock: asombrado por el poder e intrigado por su pasado.
Huh? What was that? I was hoping for something nice to happen. This was totally unexpected, I'm disappointed. Although the chasing and shooting scenes are good but what about the directive goal? What was it all about? I'm so confused right now, no clarity at all about the plot
Looking at the ending scene the finale will be full of banger, looking forward to it. Another so called top tier gang 😂. Feeling sad for Rock, always caught up in the mess. I'm more curious to know what will going to happen. Storyline so far is good but lacks a serious objective
They are not humans they are killing machines. The confrontation between Revy and Roberta is intense on its own then Balalaika making her entrance and aura farm like crazy 😂. I have to admit the coming episodes are getting more crazier and crazier. I'm more invested than ever
This episode was intense and funny at the same time 😂. What kind of existence is that maid huh ?😂 The action sequence along with the chasing sequence were literally fire. The animation quality improved as well, it must have been quite a shock to the kid after what he saw
Damn, the ending got me 💀. I knew it the maid was something but directly doing a bombastic intro was awesome! Every character introduced so far has been savage on their own, definately worth the watch. Rock is really a soft hearted man and Revy is totally his opposite 🤣
The iconic confrontation between Rock and Revy. Rock looks so badass at that moment. I really like how they execute the story, building it for 2 to 3 episodes and resolving it with a peak confrontation is awesome. I can't even imagine Nuns with guns 🤣 that's funny af.
