    Black Lagoon

    First episode released by Shinsen:

    "Based on the manga by Hiroe Rei.
    When Okajima Rokuro visited South East Asia carrying top secret file, he was kidnapped by the pirates riding in a torpedo boat, “Black Lagoon”. Although he thought he would be rescued soon, the company sent mercenaries to shut his mouth."

    I've been waiting forever for someone to sub this. I've been reading the scans of the manga as they trickle out at an incredibly slow pace (5 chapters in 10 months or so).

    Levy (alt. Revy) is a great character. Love the tattoo as well. Anyone who likes lots of bullets flying everywhere in the anime should check this out. It's a great series and I'm completely satisfied with the anime version.

    sweet sweet looking series. add another to my list!

    OP is pretty good, nice catchy song.

    I will eat my hat if Dutch isn't the same guy who voiced Inspector Runge from Monster. It's a slightly deeper voice here, but I'd recognize my favorite detective anywhere! I know cuz at first I thought Runge was played by the same guy who did Bear Walken in Gungrave and was shocked to find out otherwise. Dutch sounds almost exactly like Bear but the some of his 'let's calm down and think logically' lines are Runge, no doubt.
    (the way he pronounces 'disk' is also a dead give away)

    It's nice to see a diverse group of main characters for a change. Love the interaction between the pirates.

    Nice action. They just need to throw in some more reloads (and how did Benny get outside and get a car?)

    The ED.... wow. Wasn't looking for that kind of song to end a show like this...

    edit- sweet, Dutch is Runge's VA. Nailed.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Inspector Runge indeed. Like Masa I would have recognized that voice immediately. Not one of those voice actors you couldn't recognize easily, certainly. It was kind of funny to hear him in a totally different role. Not a cold, calculating detective but a hulking gangster... Quite a change, but he did it well.

    The series itself seems promising. Ruthless plot with criminal syndicates, corrupt corporations, mean looking mercenaries and last but not least blood thirsty pirates! How could you go wrong with such a setting?

    Aye, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

    Ho... It was a very good episode. There isn't actually anything that flashy about this series, but it delivers what it intends to with 100% efficiency and that's of course everything that's needed to make a quality series.

    - - - Heavy 2. ep spoiler below - - -

    And I wouldn't be surprised if this remained the only time during my life that I see a helicopter downed with a torpedo... Heh.

    spoilers below:




    It one of the best anime i seen so far. Rock sure can be insane when cornered and very smart to come up with the plan so fast. writers don't try to downgrade any of the stuff or supersize to super flashy (2 torpidos and only one hitted and no explosion on impact). Also some minor characters get screen time.

    The torpedo scene was brilliant. This series is looking very promising.

    The two episodes so far have been pretty interesting so far. I was kinda worried that this was going to be another Bakuretsu Tenshi when I saw Levy taking out everyone in that bar, but thankfully, it hasn't turned out that way

    Man, the ending of the episode always pisses me off. The suspenseful music kicks in and you see Levy taking some slow steps. Suddenly you think a kickass part is going to happen, and as soon as you get your hopes up, you freaking realize that its the ED.

    Yeah, I know what you are talking about. However, it's one of the best endings I have seen. The video is really great artistically, and the music, while not necessarily the best of ending musics around by itself, fits the video perfectly.

    And Rock giving the guy the finger and saying "I fucked you!"

    Wicked shit. I'm liking this show more and more. I just wish I could figure out what they're saying in the OP. I like that song quite a bit. They also used a quieter version of the ED theme during the part when the 'gunman' had them cornered.

    I love the crazy drums at the end of the ED and the drum piece used for the next episode preview.

    Have high hopes for the future of this series.

    great episode. Rock Fliping the Bird and saying I fucked you, nice.

    Best part is when they said looks like we got a crazy one, lol. reminded me of all those disgruntle employees. Its amazing what you can come up with when you have nothing to lose.

    definately enjoying this series. "pirates of the southern seas" huh.

    The back of the volumes have a different tagline. One that's even more appropriate after the last eps. (Pretty much spoiler free, unless you count the title chapters)

    Heh heh. Appropriate indeed... Can't say it wouldn't fit this series. Although not counting occasional moments of craziness, it still remains to be seen how well Rock can fill that description. His performance with the megaphone wasn't actually very badass, even if it was all the more funny because of that.
