It tells the tail of the aftermath of a NSA assassination which took out Roberta's master. Now if you have seen the original series you will know that Roberta would have killed everyone in Roanaper if it meant saving her master and his child. With the master dead, she goes after the NSA which have taken up residence in Roanapur for a little while. Garcia and another maid end up coming to warn them, what ensues is Rock becoming Light Yagami/Lelouch. He ends up figuring everything out by the 2nd episode and the rest is just him conducting his orchestra from the shadows.
Roberta is hyped up on meds and goes on a complete rampage. Annihilating all that stand in her way, not having qualms about how to kill them. She even seduces the guy that wants her to come to Cuba and she ends up using that to kill him. It is a brutal blood bath with some surprising tactics that are used in order to cause as little damage as possible. Overall it turned out to be a game of trying to figure out what will happen next and seeing fairly innocent people witness the cold hearted brutality of most of the people of Roanapur.
Really this OVA is more of the blood soaked goodness of the original series, fan service for the Gib freaks that we are. So watch this when you just feel like watching psychopaths go on rampages and try to kill each-other.
Ratings:
Story: (new category) 6 It is mainly meant to be fan service for previous fans and thus doesn't have the best story around
Animation: 8 It looked great, but what do you expect from madhouse, hardcore gun action
Characters: 7 No real qualms, they aren't deep characters, they are characters who shoot people; end of story
Sound: 7 It works all throughout, the opening track is not so good in this one as the original Mell opening was great and memorable and this just remixes it
Enjoyment: 7 Honestly I didn't enjoy this as much as the original show, it was good, but felt like some of the humor was lost in this OVA
--------------
Overall: 7 If you enjoy Black Lagoon watch this, if not skip it cuz this is just a minor extension of the show
