| People keep mentioning season 3 here but to my knowledge the only episodes after season 2 are the OVAs or am I missing something? |
| Season 1 > Second Barrage in my opinion, I disliked the Japan Arc, it was too serious and had almost no humor, I understand some people prefer it that way, but I don't really watch Black Lagoon for a serious story so.... (Twins Arc was pretty awesome though) I'm hoping Roberta's Blood Trail is better, the anime gets a 7/10 for now. |
| Hanging out with Lagoon and Balalaika is good for Rock. He's still too naive. 9/10. |
wina said: LagTag said: Actually i don`t think they meant it that way , more like they were trying to show Revy`s shame of having certain feelings for Rock , which for Revy is pretty embarrassing , even worse than sleeping with him. and I agree with this one. its quite possible something did happen, that they did it |
| 1) from the beginning of this EP it seems that Balalaika has the hots for Rock as well new, she seemed like she wanted to kiss him, & hes face & eye's when her face was only centimeter away from Rock's face say's it all, i even think she was turned on 2) Balalaika gave Rock the gun & he gave it back & then she trows it out & new it has Rock's fingerprints on it & its there so cops can find it, she has some plans for him, i mean she is plotting something & it mite not be good, we all know she is bit insane yet smart |
| After finishing this series the only thing I want is sing this to Balalaika: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzA1KDxKXZw God... I love her so much... |

| Both seasons were good but I feel I like the first season more. The first was more entertaining too me and the Japan arc in Second Barrage felt like it dragged on, last episode was the best part followed by the bowling ally rescue. I'll give this an 8. |
| I can't belive how much better the second Barrage was. And I'm so happy Balalaika survived and got what she wanted. She is so fucking awesome. easily an 8 out of 10. |
 |
| ...did Balalaika try to kiss Rock? Honestly, I can't say I liked this season as much as the first one. It was just too serious for me. However, the first arc with the twins was easily the best. The last arc went on too long, and I wasn't that interested in it. |
| Personally I think this is the best arc this season because it left quite deep impact for me. It's nice to see some character development on Rock, and Revy. What would you expect from an average salary man to adapt so quickly on underground world? I think Rock is quite tough that he is able to maintain his sanity until now. And now the resolution is quite obvious. Anyway, Revy can be cute at times too, should I assume that she's tsundere? X) |

Indulgence said: Personally, I felt like this series was a grindhouse film, stretched several hours too long. Not only was there no character development, there was no plot as well. Which is you're going to do episodic, at least do it right. There should at least be some underlying plot that ties everything together in the end--which this series didn't do. |
| BANG! The end. :)) |

| This season fucking sucked compared to season 1 Yukio was a cunt, the twins were dull (I get it, they're messed up; no need to keep shoving it down my throat), and there was so LITTLE ACTION and so much dialogue between characters I hate. The Black Lagoon crew is infinitely more interesting than all the shit characters who get more screen time than what they're worth. Edit: Also, Rock is still useless. If he doesn't get development in s3 I'm fucking done |
| Im glad that bitch (Yukio) dies but i want her to suffer more. I like this better than S1 7/10 |
| 8/10 for me :) great series |
| I was a little skeptical at the start of the season, but it pulled through. As enjoyable as the first season. Bit of a dark ending for Ginji and Yukio, glad Revy didnt end up dying though. Loved the last bit though, "Well did you get some? - I don't wanna say" ... Revy you silly girl! 10/10, like the first season. |
 |
| Great episode, too bad for Gin and Yuki but the ending... dammit, I was expecting something better. 8/10. |
 |
| I think Rock wanted/needed to see Yukio die. To further cement leaving his past life behind. Yukio mentioned that Rock didn't want to actually save her, that he saw his past life in her. First and 2nd season both get an 8.3/10 from me. Didn't expect realism from this show so that didn't drag it down. 2nd season had more character development so I liked that more. There needs to be more Rock x Revy moments!! |
| In the end, Balalaika wins...she always wins. |
 |
| Great show, loved it. Honestly I would love to see an arc where balalaika got pushed to her edge, instead of her being so dominating, powerful and always in command. Now on to the OVA. |
| How do I signature? |
| Great season, I enjoyed it quite a bit more than the first, there was a lot more action and the story was much more entertaining. |
| Kinda disappointed, season 1 was way better. 4/10 |
| That ending scene with Eda and Revy. That was just amazing. Loved it. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
Zapredon said: Still no news of sequel aside from the OVA? Not enough manga material and I don't think the author even cares anymore. It was on hiatus for about 4 years then came back for some chapters, now it's on a near 2 year hiatus again. |
 |
| 10/10, still one of my all time favorites |
| :3 |
| This was a good series. |
| Man I kept switching between sub and dub. The sub version has cringe English talking while the dub has no subtitles for some Japanese speaking when he is interpreting. Kinda annoying. This series took longer then it should have. The MC and Revy has some character development but not much. Too bad I prefer Dutch and Benny which they didn't have a lot of screen time. Good mindless action. |
| What a tragic end, she really didn't have to die She deserved a better & safer life :( Still don't understand the her logic All I need is to watch all ova now Roberta again eh? xD |

| Wow, can't believe I've never commented on this one! Anyhoo, loved the 2nd season, even if I found myself bored whenever the scenes were focused on Yukio. The scenes with Rock and Revy, though, more than made up for it. I absolutely loved how red Revy was when Rock caught her playing with the kids, and I liked seeing how Revy is slowly but surely caring more and more for Rock. She was just about downright panicked when Balalaika was toying with Rock. And of course the, "now he's been kidnapped by a high school girl too?!" was great too. My only major gripe is similar to what I had with the Revy vs Roberta fight. Once again Revy, an established sharpshooter, suddenly forgets how to aim, but this time there's no concussion to even try to blame for that. There's zero, z-e-r-o, reason that Ginji shouldn't have been gunned down before he could even get close to her, let alone supposedly been in position to beat her. Revy fired approximately 30 times, and Ginji cut or deflected 3 bullets, so Revy somehow failed to hit a melee target around 27, TWENTY SEVEN, times. And no, I'm not counting that scratch as a hit :/ As ridiculously stupid as that last fight was, I loved Black Lagoon the 2nd Barrage enough to give it a 10. The Rock and Revy scenes were more than enough to counter balance the boring Yukio scenes, or the absurd last fight. |

| Prefer the 1st season, not by much. Had it's moments but as a whole it was forgettable. Balalaika was badass tho. |
| Disappointing ending to the series. Just like that? Thats it? Yukio is not Yakuza but she is Samurai!!!!! 2.6/5 Overall: 6/10 |
 |
| If I didn't know there was another season, I'd be pretty disappointed at this ending- not that it was bad, I mean it was a great end to a great arc...it just didn't feel like a finale. It felt more like the penultimate episode instead. I feel like people always complain about Rock because he hasn't picked up a gun or shot at anyone yet, but now I think that's the only thing separating him and everyone else in Roanapur. He's really not all that different than them anymore. I enjoyed this season way more than the first, and unlike most people I actually welcome the change in Revy...being an insane badass with no progress gets old after a while. Especially when most of the cast is the exact same way. |

| I quite liked this season. It was on par with the first season for me. More Rock was good to see. I like that guy. |
  |
| SOME ACTIONS THAT CHARACTERS TAKES IN THIS SERIES JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE.Their motivation is also all over the place.I'm sadly disappointed in plot aspect of this series as a whole but this series still manages to remains somehow entertaining because it is filled with over the top action and chick with guns[My weakness].6/10 for me. |
| This was a pretty good action show. 8 out of 10. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| Pretty solid last episode and wrap up of this arc of this season! Still quite an open ending, but in general pretty lovely second season. Looking forward for the ova episodes and another arc of Black Lagoon! |
 |
| I didn't quite understand Rock's and Yukio's conversation during the fight. In the end, who was actually right? What part of what Yukio said caused Gin to hesitate? I don't get it, so she was just pretending that the Yakuza life was what she wanted, when really she couldn't admit to herself that it wasn't by free choice? |
FrozenSoda said: I think Rock wanted/needed to see Yukio die. To further cement leaving his past life behind. Yukio mentioned that Rock didn't want to actually save her, that he saw his past life in her. ^ This. The show clearly set up parallels between Yukio and Rock, and also Gin and Revy, with the way the characters were framed in a few shots when you first meet them. Also, Yukio and Rock flirt with and respect each other (at least at first), same with Gin and Revy (at least Revy flirts, haha idk about Gin). So, in part, I agree with LordofCinder that maybe it was a bit too dualistic, but I feel like Soda's point and the fact that Rock says he thought he came back to remember but he really came back to forget kind of earns it, because both of those moments are great examples of character development done right. Even if it was very black-and-white, that's what the writers went for and I think they stuck the landing On another common topic, I can understand why people complained about realism in this second season specifically. Sure, it's an anime, but there's a rule with any story telling that the first parts of the story teach the reader/viewer how to read/view the story. The early episodes of the first season did feel like they were going for a certain level of realism, maybe just stretching a bit to allow room for Revy's badassery. For example, even when the torpedo-boat uses the sunken ship to ramp up and take out the chopper (more than a bit absurd), the writers and animators went through lengths of justify that happening. So I can understand some people rolling their eyes when near-invincible maids and vampire children became part of the mix. While I personally wasn't bothered by it too much, it is a legitimate complaint to have in this series, whereas the same complaint would be totally pointless in, say, Gurren Laggan or something |
