Black Lagoon (Both seasons)

Smoking like they don't even care.

Plot:

[It's very hard to describe the initial part without spoiling the first 2 episodes. Just a warning] 

Okajima Rokuro is just your average Japanese businessman. After months of doing nothing but sitting in his cubicle all day, his company finally grants him a break, which is actually business trip in disguise, since he has to deliver something to a client. However, his boat is hijacked by pirates looking for the disk. After being dragged onto their boat as a hostage (since they thought he might be worth something), they find out there is a helicopter after them. Using one of Rock's crazy ideas, they are able to escape, and Rock joins them as part of their band of mercenaries.

Opinions:

Black Lagoon is probably the most insane, crazy and mature action anime you will ever watch. The directors literally threw all human logic out the window before creating this series. The only thing I find bad is the music and the Japanese voice acting. In fact, this is probably the only series where I would rather watch the dubbed than the subbed. Why? Because of how hard the characters tried to speak in English. You will realize what I'm saying after hearing the garbled English in the opening. It's literally trash. Other than the opening, though, this anime is a definite must.

Overall Rating:

8.2/10
