isnt it stupid how the ppl in the sub died by lack of air, yer revy and rock dont need oxygen, and just breathe?

CO2 build up, over time the plants may have replaced the air so its not that odd........ besides its an anime dude lol

It's anime dude. LOL! :3

And to think that they didn't because of lack of oxygen, they had a gunfight right? So they've stopped breathing when there's still oxygen left.

I don't know about you guys but to me this was probably the worst episode of Black Laggon so far. I don't remember anything good happening except for that little gunfight in the last minute or so. Hopefully it gets better.

I guess you're right, but sometimes an in depth story can also be interesting instead of non-stop action xD, next episode will most likely make up for it =]

I thought that too. Saying, "its just an anime" doesn't cut it imo either. All writers should strive for some sort of consistency in their stories. If the writer sets the story in our world then they have a certain obligation to follow the laws of physics. If they wish to set the story in a fantasy world that is another story (example; Full Metal Alchemist, Star Wars).

I, however, thought of a couple things that would allow oxygen to exist in the sub. Firstly, it is possible that all the crew committed suicide before dying of carbon dioxide poisoning. Secondly, the crew of the sub would not have died because of a lack of oxygen, they would have died because of an abundance of CO2 which is poisonous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercapnia). Point is there would still be quite a bit of Oxygen left. Clearly, enough to allow bacteria to decay the bodies. If the vessel had CO2 scrubbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_lime), or some plants survived (unlikely) then perhaps without people using a large portion of it CO2 levels were brought back to normal. I don't think it is likely that plants survived (I didn't see any in the anime, but I wasn't really watching) as they wouldn't have a supply of fresh water.

Anyway, minor nitpick. I think this is a good anime. This episode had a good speech by Remy.

I also was thinking about the oxygen thing the whole time as well
also, interesting to know that Revy is Chinese...

Hmm, I'm not too sure either about the submarine situation but I'm intrigued so I'll have to check and see if it was actually possible to breathe down there.

Didn't expect to get 3 straight episodes of Nazi's though, next episode is going to be fun. =D

the gunfight was good, that i guess we also got a look at revy's past a little

I'm loving having nazis as villains in shows again!

Revy's voice is so cool. The speech she did was also very good and served as a bit of character development.
Haha now the crew are angry, time for revenge.

Yet another great episode and I liked getting more information on Revy's past now if only we could learn more about Dutch and Benny. Also, you have to love Revy threatening Rock if he used the story as blackmail.

I don't know how character development is a bad thing. Frankly I enjoyed the scene where Revy revealed a little about her past. I've also enjoyed the flash backs and things like that, it's always cool when a show you thought was going to be constant mindless action actually has a story to it.

So, it definetly wasn't a bad episode. Hell No.

background story on revy, its nice to know more about her past and the reasons why she does what she does.
I also liked the way she told her past. the dubs were alright, though i liked the japanese dialect better for her story.

it seems like revy has finally had enough of rock's whining on the next ep. looking forward to it.

I really don't know what to say about this episode. Everyone is criticizing the oxygen story. It didn't bother my that much, and i actually think this episode was very funny from the begining till the end (the stupid nazis singing their song and crying)... and Revy's speech also looked good... but i can't wait to see some REAL ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The oxygen part really got on my nerves and Rock is pretty much useless...just gets in the way...

Good to see me and a few others I watched this episode with weren't the only ones wondering about the oxygen situation. Pretty good episode either way.

The oxygen bit didn't really bother me, i thought it was odd but whatev.
Good ep anyway, im looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Revy is Chinese?? Nice :D

They're nazis and they cried like babies, that's kind of ridiculous.

Maybe I misunderstood, but the whole thing about the oxygen running out. Didn't all of the Nazi's die in a firefight prior to running out of oxygen (hence the whole oxygen still being there thing..?)
