I'll admit, I enjoyed the season, because who doesn't enjoy seeing Revy kick ass? But seriously, it was a huge let down and I probably won't watch it again. WOW! 12 episodes and it feels like they've told us nothing more about the characters except one used to live in Japan! Yay? Well wait, we know Rock used to live in Japan now.

We find out next to nothing else about Rock and Revy. Let's move on to the characters and their interactions.oh wait, nothing happened. Background music throughout the show is alright, but nothing worth buying.

The ED is slow, tacky, and I skipped it every time. I can't recall if the opening is different, but it's well done. The music, as far as I can tell, is the same thing from the first season. Fights are fluid, but who cares with what they gave you to watch. Revy looks great, Rock is his pansy self, and Dutch is still black. On the other hand, the animation for these terrible plots was well done. Nothing is realistic (not even close), and nothing is even attempted to be explained to you. You can't help but feel like you're watching a terrible D rated movie. Boom, just like that, they came up with two, ridiculously stupid story lines to encompass 12 episodes. I wonder if they simply wrote down a whole bunch of plot ideas on paper, crumbled them up in a ball, put them in a hat and drew at random. What's so sad about it? Well, for one thing, the story. It's somewhat sad, but I have to begin with a dissatisfied distaste in my mouth after finishing this season.

Although its concept may not be all that original, its execution is good, so if you like your action bloody and your 'anti-heroes' profane, Black Lagoon is definitely worth a look.Welcome back Rock, Revy and the gang! In this second installment of Black Lagoon, we continue our journey through Roanapur, the city of criminals. dancers in a topless bar), drug use, and killings and profanity are frequent. As you may have guessed Black Lagoon is aimed squarely at an adult audience.

This is what makes this series interesting though, that the characters aren't trying to be good, and their only real code of conduct is their loyalty to each other and of course to turning a profit on their shady jobs (think Sam Peckinpah's Wild Bunch). It could even be argued that they cross into outright 'bad-guy' territory from time to time. Their ethics are of course flexible so they often take jobs from local criminal organizations, and unsurprisingly the Black Lagoon crew definitely qualify as 'anti-hero' types (except perhaps Rok). 'Rok' a businessman who gets shanghaied into Black Lagoon, and probably the best known, Revy, the group's best fighter who shoots up opponents with two pistols at once.

The show is set in southeast Asia and centers around a mercenary group (Black Lagoon) whose members include the leader Dutch, mechanic Benny, Rokuro Okajima a.k.a. Although the show's main aspiration is to be an action series, it has interesting characters and pretty good story lines, making it more than just a run of the mill action anime. There are fights, shootouts, car chases, explosions, and of course plenty of one-liners. Watching an episode of Black Lagoon reminds me of an 1980s era action movie.
