This episode was alright, but a little underwhelming for the start of a new season.

Lol, those twins are pretty over-the-top. I liked the reference to the Shining, and some of the mystery surrounding them. They're obviously unrealistic, a lot like the terminator maid from season one.

Rewatching this now in high quality, hearing Balalaika and Rock speaking romanian made me laugh, so funny "soula mai mare", and in the english dub the twins are speaking with "fratele meu" and "sora mea" istead of onii-sama and one-sama, it destroys my ears, the accent is horrible. They could've been smart and use the words "dădica" and "nenica", no romanian talks like that lol

Ah yes, great episode

I mean So far they havent said there actually vampires. csi or or some other crime show did the same exact shit in the US. They turned out to be fakes. could be the same shit here.
Creepy Twins Not much Action But a good set up for a mini arc.

This "twins" arc is trash and it's a horrible way to start the second season.

Ignore my drunk ass grammar and spelling mistakes sicne I'm riting this while drunk since New years' time after seeing it directly.

Overall, this episode was fun. Not realistic yeah, but creepy done right with some high octane intensity and curiosity towards it imo. Felt like a slow buildup but it was entertaining nonetheless and I like to see more of Balalaika inaction with this show and be put in a position where she's pissed off with struggling to find people who've been putting holes in her comrades. She does seem like a very loyal boss and leader to her group, who in reverse are extremelyloyal to her. Plus, Eda sighting again was great and already love the chemistry/rivarly she has with Revy back at the Yellowflag bar when teasing her while flirting with Rocky baby. Black Lagoon is never a realistic show, its like anime gone Michael Bay done right so along as it blows my mind with its entertainment and badass writing and cast and action, its doing itself well.

Twins, mad, incestuous and seriously delusional... i like them *_*
and btw their nationality, i couldn't believe it... all those "frate mai mic" and "sora mai mare"and "buna seara"...

It means "little brother", "big sister" and "goodnight". It was really interesting and refreshing hearing my mother-tongue in an anime [this is the first time]
I find it creepy and also cool thinking that people from the same country as me could do things like that. I'm really excited to see what happens next ^_^!

That's pretty cool. I was running through a list of countries with a large white, non-English speaking population, and I wasn't able to land on Romainia until they mentioned vampires, with the whole Dracula and Transylvania story and all.

this ep was thoroughly disappointing for me. i rly like black lagoon, but i dont understand why kids suddenly infiltrated the adult environment that was depicted up until now. the incestuous relationship between the twins is very weird and creepy, and taking their heritage into account, it feels sort of stereotypical of what people think of romanian and balkan people in general. very bad start to the season honestly :/

Freaking incestuous twins. Ew... but, thank god, a GREAT episode. Hoping it'll be better than S01, because no terminator-maid, I hope.

My guess is that they're not vampires, per se, just some really fucked up kids who like blood. The teeth mean nothing, since there has been plenty of characters in anime with pointy teeth that weren't actual vampires, it's just an artistical choice.

I just found the whole episode very jarring. The twins just don't fit the tone of the show up to that point. Up to this point I got an 80's ott action movie vibe from the show, just a little darker in places. This one manages to somehow amp up the silliness and creepiness at the same time.

Bottom line the twins were either creepy or irritating whenever they were on screen. Frankly couldn't wait for the episode to end.

Not impressed at all. I could deal with the fact that Revy had crazy super human powers, because it was entertaining. These kids cross the line. It is just fucking stupid.

No new intro either, which is kind of a piss off. The current one is crap. The lyrics are in English and the singer can not even pronounce the words correctly. That is always a piss of for me, because good singers take classes to learn how to pronounce words in other languages while singing.

this comment is harsh as fuck LMFAO but I don't see a single miss

This ep really had me engaged till I realized the villain were some cringyass alabama twins with supernatural powers, similar to the dumbass edgy maid from last season.. why'd the author decide to follow this 2004-2008 trend that aged terribly?

I definitely didn't get into this for realism but brining these over-the-top plots is so lazy and makes me not care about anything. Anime doesn't get more western than this so I'll give it a few more eps, really disappointed with the wasted potential though

I didn't even realize this episode was the beginning of a new season until I logged my viewing of episode 12 on MAL -- I guess Crunchyroll just lists this as episode 13
Anyway, as much as I like the classic murder mystery/detective moment they're going for, it almost seems like they're trying to amp up the fanservice factor and it's getting difficult to sit through. Not to mention the whole creepy twincest animuu characters introduced aren't doing this episode any favors..

In any case, it was cool to see Mr. Chang again and I liked seeing more of how this crime city/island is governed with the mafia/crime bosses.
I'm looking forward to seeing Rock and the gang solve the mystery Scooby-Doo style

The idea of a serial killer style storyline in Roanapur is really cool. It is a bit disappointing that there isn't really a mystery (to the audience).

An interesting episode i really liked it. I doubt the kids are actually vampires, though i guess we wont find out till next episode.

I liked the meeting at the start between all the Mob Bosses its nice seeing Mr Chang and Balalaika. Its also nice seeing Rock and the crew again. Those are some creepy kids though, i dont like them at all.
