| That irish driver made my day |
| This episode was a little less impressive than expected, but still enjoyable. |
 |
| An excellent series imo except for maybe the ending. Anyways, this series definitely caught my attention especially the Terminator Roberta's arc. Revy is such a badass and so is the Black Lagoon crew. 8/10 |
 |
| Series is good but Rook is fucking annoying and naive. |
| This didn't feel like a proper ending at all, so I'm guessing we're supposed to head straight to the second season now? Anyways, Revy's interactions with that Taiwanese lady was pretty comical. I'm disappointed that Rock hasn't changed more during the time he's been traveling with the Black Lagoon crew though. He had his shining moment a few episodes ago when he had that huge verbal fight with Revy, but it didn't really impact his character afterwards, so it feels like it was all for nothing. Hopefully he'll show off his newly grown balls (or has he grown some yet?) next season lol. |
 |
| That Irish driver was hilarious. "My application for the Black Panthers was rejected AGAIN?" |
| This anime is straight badass 10 out of fucking 10 and report me if you want to but I couldn't hold it in any longer and I am talking about all seasons. |
| So, the first season ends. Well I have to say I loved it. The plot was great, the characters too. One of the best action series i've seen. Can't wait to start second season. |
 |
| Hiding the papers between her tits . Fucking awesome <3 |
 |
| Awesome series really enjoyed this This ep was pretty great loved the action and the stoner get away driver was hilarious. I also did like how revy saved rock just to save him and not for the papers shows she actually does care. Overall an excellent series 9/10 now to start the second season. |

| The drunkard/stoner whatever the hell he was getaway driver was great. |

| "Jimi Hendrix is calling me! He's telling me to defeat the Klingons! C-Captain Picard!" I love Leigharch and Western pop culture references. Shame he's not in the second season or the OVA since his drugs trips are entertaining to watch. |

| LOL at Rock smokin' weed. Great action anime, but I'll probably take a small break before starting Second Barrage. |
| You know you have the battle won when the two people rescuing you are fighting to see who gets to kill the enemy... Anyways, really looking forward to the next season! |
 |
| EPIC SERIES ! x) freaking great anime which can't be found nowdays saddly x.x |
 *ANIME I.NTERE.ST*----> +IN anime pictures and get FREE anime & manga merchandize from JAPAN! |
| Revy is awesome. So was the Irish driver, lol. Stay high!!! |
 |
| Not that great of a series. I'll watch the second season later on to see if its any better. 6/10 |
| Man, the animation quality really dropped here... whatever. Fucking amazing show. 9/10. |

| Revy is definitely going to be one of my favorite heroines.. 8/10 |
 |
| So-so ending. Overall an amazing show. |
| That Irish driver was amazing, Very good first season overall. |
| I was expecting more of an ending , so glad there is a season 2! It was sweet to see Revy cared about Rock enough to go save him. |
| rock is not a mellow guy if he takes drugs... although i've never seen revy smile so often during an episode. she really livened up looking after rock... very odd behaviour. loving the new chick with the perfect beheading weapon... and the driver, well.... he was... not the best getaway driver in the world but he did get to the destination (amazingly) |
| Revy, Dutch and Chang are awesome. Didn't really care for any of the other characters in this season though. Hoped for a bigger boom too for a finale so a little lacklustre considering this is a gun toting action show. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| This anime is a classic action flick. It would've have been better though if there was a main plot. An action show without much story isnt as enjoyable. Anyway I thought its pretty decent. |

| I didn't like this show the first time I saw. After rewatching it a few years later and I still don't get it. The fact that this is often even put in the same sentence as Baccano!, Cowboy Bebop, or Quentin Tarantino movies is an embarrassment to entertainment as a whole. All this series is (and yes I saw the second one) is a derivative action show with cliche and one dimensional characters. Yes, Baccano, Tarantino, and Cowboy Bebop all wear their influences and homages on their sleeves but the differences is that they actually try to do something new and creative with their influences. This doesn't do that. I was hoping Black Lagoon would be a sorta parody or deconstruction of action movie cliches and instead all I got was a bunch of action movie cliches. Episode 7 (I believe it was episode 7) the one where Rock and Revy go on out, do jobs and argue with each other. That was really good, if the show had more episodes like that then I could see why everybody past the age of 12 loves the show so much but no the show likes to bring up themes but has no interest in actually exploring them because it's afraid that it's audience won't be able to pay attention for 5 minutes unless lots of explosions and swearing is happening. Bottom line, far from one of the worst animes I've ever seen and if all you're looking for is hot chicks blowing crap up then this is for you but to say that this show has complex characters and good stories is beyond ridiculous to me. Want my opinion on a better product that pay homages to 80s/90s action movies, go play Metal Gear Solid. Rather if you like it or not, it at least tries to do something different |
| Pretty bad. This was 100% fanservice. Characters were harem characters without the harem: bland, uninspired, boring, and obnoxious. Action wasn't even that good, really. There was no intrigue. No brains. This show seems like it was written by a 14 year old. |
 |
| The ending was a bit weird. I did love this series though, like I said multiple times, the characters were top notch. Chemistry between them even better, not just the main characters either. Yet another show that deserves a 10/10 from me. Finished watching it in English dubbed. |

| If folks didn't know about season 2 I would understand why they'd be pissed. Not the best of finales. A good episode overall but not for a season ender. |
 |
| That driver was hilarious... The ending was a bit weird but the action made up for it. 8/10 for this season, hopefully the next is better. |
 |
| Came for over the top action, not disappointed. Action junkies should be pleased. I was hoping Rock would man up a bit. I guess I asked too much. |
| Revy is kind of a too good character for this show. |
| Revy straight up called the getaway driver a leprechaun lol |
 |
| Great episode. That Chinese lady was hilarious. She made me laugh a few times. |
| This series is entertaining enough to keep watching but the gun fighting is getting stale quickly. Unlike the first few episodes where they used a torpedo, it's just mindless shooting and not much strategy. Also, the soldiers shooting accuracy changes depending on plot convenience. One person with pistols outgunning a group of soldiers with assault rifles just baffles me. Realism is in question. |
| This episode actually had me feeling pretty bad for the leaders of the "freedom fighter" group. One of them realizes the "cause" is pointless and has become disillusioned, but he still can't quite admit that it's not worthwhile (until the very end). The other is so blinded with range and pain due to his personal loss that he can't see he's leading the group straight towards a cliff. It takes a very special sort of despair to acknowledge that your life's efforts have skewed towards a lie. I think that's what Masahiro meant at the very end, when he said "What do I do? I am an enemy of the state." He was finally accepting that the specific "causes" they fought for were all bullshit. The only thing that truly mattered was that he was part of a smaller group fighting the larger group, never mind the reason for the fight. He was resigned to his lot in life. |
| I will watch sequel after 6 days. The waiting period is important. I love this quote from Taiwanese, "Men can stab but dont have experience being stabbed". In other words seme and uke and she meant sex XD That waz anti-climatic for final episode of Season 1. It stopped halfway. 3.2/5 Overall: 6/10 |
 |
| Takenaka is a worthy antagonist. I feel that it's in the best interest of the Lagoon to avoid crossing paths with him again. |
  |
| Wow I finally managed to finish the first season after such a long time. Anyways I really enjoyed all the episodes. It was something different from most other anime so far I watched, especially because here a female is the badass and not a guy :D Good jokes, a lot of action and also some calm moments which fit perfect. Takenaka should not be underestimated. He's pretty smart, maybe we will see more of him in the future. Revi and that Thai woman made a good couple haha. I think Revi would rescue Rock again if she had to. But at the end a typicall Revi reaction after Rock thanked her :D I can imagine how most of the people must have feel when they saw the ending without knowing that there will be a second season. It's good that they made a direct transition. I'm really excited for the second season and what will happen there. Vampires in the first episode? Overall for me the first season is definitely a 9/10 :) |
 |
| doesn't feel like an ending ep |
 |
| Last 2 episodes were really boring for some reason. but the previous ones, really entertaining. cant explain exactly. thats why i consider this season to be a recommended anime for the ones looking for some "hollywood-esque" action anime, with guns, mafia and mercenaries. |
