Hey part-nah so have you seen it yet?
Black Lagoon looks off the hook.
Just check out the trailers at the official site.

(The Hanzel & Gretel trailers are the most badass.
Two lil' blonde kids making chop suey out of underworld gangstas. Best of all a one eyed old lady and a big ass gun.)
The only exposure I ever had to black Lagoon was all this Revy hentai that I stumbled upon.
Made moi think that she was just another dumbass "MOE" anime bitch.
Who gets late for school or some other inane unneeded bull shit.
(Like panty shots for no reason, other than to titillate.)
I had no idea that Revy is actually a hardcore crazy ass psychotic maniac.
Screw Curtis Blackburn, Revy eats & spits out punks like him for breakfast.
Don't even get me started on how much the character designs rock.
There's this wrinkly old nun, with a friggin eye patch & a golden desert eagle, that is pure badass.
That's like giving some 80 year old wrinkly wheel chaired bound
pervert a big ass anti tank gun.
Hold up that's already been done before. (Harman Smith)
I swear though just look at the cast of characters.

Badass after badass after badass. It's like Killer 7 all over again heh heh.
Check out Mr. Chang. Bunji Kugashira from Gungrave dressed like a Yakuza, but acted like an insane triad/tong from a John Woo flick.
On the other hand Mr. Chang came straight out of an old school John Woo flick, nuff said.
That Blond Russian gangsta woman & the big ass Yakuza guy with the shades look like some pretty hardcore mofo's as well.
What makes this anime even more interesting is that it's about underworld crime in Southeast Asia.
(One of the more unstable regions of the world.)
If you're into old school anime from the 80's, 70' when it was all about boobs,booze, & blood then this is the shit to see.
(I heard it was like Cowboy Bebop on crack. It sure as hell looks it.)
Too bad I'm broke, because I want this entire series.
The last anime that I actually liked that wasn't called "Ghost in the Shell" was friggin' "Bible Black".
You just know there's something wrong with an industry when a porn like Bible Black happens to have a more compelling story than most conventional animes combined.
To all non believers I direct thy to this website.
