| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- 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. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Those two are f***d up.. reminds me of the incest kids from shakugan no shana OmegaRed said: Though she can't quite pronounce it, it's still a badass song.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. |
| The kids aren't legitimate vampires, are they? Kinda weird, but I thought it was pretty funny when the little girl whipped out that huge ass machine gun and started letting loose. |
| Okay, that's screwed up. This clearly isn't as good as the first season (although it's hardly a second season, the episode said it was number 13.) Eeeek scary shota-loli incest assassin duo. I think they could be good characters as long as they don't outstay their welcome. They work as extremely scary Higurashi-like children, but their presence could be meh in a show about crime. |
 |
| 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 ^_^! |

kerlyenai said: 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. Im pretty sure it already has been unrealistic when they flew their ship 100 meters into the air and unleashed a missle on a helicopter |

I've never had a problem with the jump itself, but I never could get over the fact that it didn't shear off their prop. That scene is forever ruined because of those lazily spinning propellers as they sail through the air. |
| This is a serious post. You're not allowed to delete it. |
| I hated it =( I AM a sensible person, and I agree it is disgusting. Don't want to moralize. It was also boring for me, because those vampire-incest-overcruel twins are almost traditional characters in the anime of another type, and Black Lagoon has been something of another kind to me. Probably they have changed the director for the second season? Shitty |

Moonfrost said: Lol vampires Why do people keep mistaking them as vampires? They are not. They are just two really fucked up kids. Stuff is exagerated in this anime a lot but theres no fictional stuff. |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |
| Hmm i don't know i enjoyed this quite a lot. I've always enjoyed the fucked up side of things though. OP still rules. I also love how the ending music starts in this anime, closes off the show so well. |
 |
| Cool they kept the Op from the first Season.. The twins are just plain creepy.. |
 |
| I actually don't really have a problem with the twins. Except for the fact that that little girl would not have been able to fire that gun... Otherwise they really don't bother me. actually I also want to comment on an earlier post about gunslinger girl. Those children were awful because they were devoid of feeling. The Twins are more natural because at least they are doing it for themselves instead of taking orders. That is the difference for me |

| I actually really enjoyed this ep. The creepy, screwed up twins makes for a decent arc. |
 |
| Those kids creep the f*** out of me! I'm a little disappointed about the whole vampire thing because they seem to be in everything, but I still love Black Lagoon. |
 |
| nice ep, was expecting something messed up and gore when seeing the edgar allan poe reference in the beginning. |
| To people who thought that Black Lagoon was realistic: Seriously, I never saw anything in this series that would show that author cares about realism. The only thing the mangaka seem to care is badasness and action. The "Vampire Twins" fit the story perfectly. |
 |
| Hot. |
| Creeptastic. Otherwise no complaints. |
| Such junk... |
| Shakugan No Shana anyone? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| So i start watching this, trying not to instantly downrate it to 1 ... but couldn't help it once they set that retarded kiddy action in motion. -.- Oh well, next episode. |

| Fucked up kids are awesome. <3 Only in anime though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Awesome creepy kids. I don't personally understand the big fuss over the kids, It's only an anime, you must've seen waaaaaaay worse things in reality surely? This isn't an anime intended for 10 year olds so I don't mind it being a bit more risque at times. But hey, like people have said before, that's you opinion and you are entitled to it. |
 |
| LOL the vampires are Romanian xD this is not stereotypical at all -_-,but i'm happy they mentioned my country anyway :D(or at least some phrases,that were funny very well said,even the accent was good!) 5/5 |

| "Ladies aren't supposed to carry heavy things" Lets off a round from one of the biggest guns i've seen in my life. I totally thought of Shakugan no Shana when i saw those creepy twins ^^ |
 |
| BAR rifles weight atleast 20 kg, so using them that like means they're strong enough to atleast stay standing. |

| I had doubts I was watching second season because it has the same opening. And yes those kids are creepy. They look like the Yosuga no Sora twins! |
| First Nazis, now vampires. Hellsing anyone? Those kids sure are creepy, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and see where all this leads to. One things that's still great about this series, is the huge amount of nationalities seen (there's no good or bad here, so it works even better) and the lot of references to American movies in general, It's always amusing spotting those out. |
 |
| If these kids really turn out to be vampires, I'm dropping this, no matter how much I enjoyed and loved first season. Invincible vampire kids are both annoying and cliché, I can have that in any other anime. |
| Love how the Russian mobsters scare the crap out of everyone. Vampires? |

| lol Clint Eastwood and a bunch of "The Shining" references. Episode wasn't that great though. |
| Lol funny seeing that the twins are romanians like me o.0 |
 |
| its fine... |
 |
| Balalaika looks furious as ever O____O yay Eda!!!! didn't notice her boosoms are big as that :D i wonder how the Lagoon group will solve this. what's up with the fucking haters lately?? the show is not trying to be realistic, even though it still tries to maintain a link to the real world. plus it's only anime, what's up with the constant bitching about small details all of a sudden?? yet i rarely see any those complaints like Naruto, Bleach, and other anime's oh what's that?? it's not trying to be realistic?? YOU DON"T SAY???? :O for me while the kids are freaking creep, it didn't bother me at all. sure there fucked up and sadistic, but it nothing cringe worthy like some people love act like it. the laugh while irritating, is definitely freaking scary as hell. also that english song, while having accent, is cool to hear. the brother and sister singing sadistically as they poke the hell out of that person is just wow. then again after finishing watching Shiki especially Ep 14, it's hard to cringe at other gory anime's now :\ still it's definitely interesting to see Vampires(??) in this anime. guess we have Gang lords, Mafia, Nazi's, Nuns, Strippers, Maid's and now Vampires. we just need Ghost and Goblins ha :P |
| I liked this ep a lot. the twins are creepy and very interesting for the series, i dont know why people were hating them for being vampires (they could be fake vampires, not the fictional ones). Black lagoon wasn't made to be realistic, The loveless maid, shows it. Dont compare lagoon with the reality, just because little twins appeared to be sadic an crazy. |
| Whoa, these twins are completely fucked up... |
