Two fucked up kids with vampire tendencies + incest?
This seems more suited to a hentai storyline =P
A decent episode..
3/5

Glad I'm not the only one who was unimpressed by this episode. The villains just messed up over powered kids who are perverts. This felt nothing like a second season, it's just the first continued.

This episode was truly disgusting both because of what it showed and what it implied. There are no excuses for associating little children and their laughter with such horrid bloodshed and madness. I don't know what message the authors are trying to get through (perhaps soldier children) but, whatever it is, they are inexcusable.
The scenes, apart from being horrifying, were also completely ridiculous. For instance such small children wielding huge guns and not even moving from the kickback! It seems this series has decided to completely cut any link to reality and become a madman's gore fest.
I hope the next episode will somehow redeem the show though I seriously doubt it.


agreed. Incestuous murdering children? Fuck this shit! This show just crossed the line for me... of course there are people defending this episode. Its sad that there's no limit to the amount of fucked up stuff people are willing to watch...
Love and Peace!!!

I didnt think it was disgusting, I guess im used to it and it doesnt bother me.

Anyhow ...

Weird little kids ... only in anime.
Looking forward to THEIR backstories if we get them at all.

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 ^_^!
"Buna seara" it more like "Good evening" than "Goodnight". And yes it is really fun to hear romanian in anime xD

I thought it was pretty unrealistic when they kids killed all those guys int he bar. The boy attacked with an axe and then they just stood there talking for a couple of minutes before the girl pulled out her gun. The targets just stood there freaking out and not one of them thought to try to shoot. I mean, there were like 4 adults with guns against 2 little kids, one of whom had an axe and the other of whom had not yet shown a weapon. Why were they so panicked?

Mam, the twins are really fxxxd up. They creeped me out especially when they laugh. It seems that the Lagoon Company is hesitant to get involved in this case, but that's impossible right?? Nice to see Eda again though and I wonder if she will be a help in disposing the twins

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

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.

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).
