Besides Dutch there's a Jewish-American (Benny) and Chinese-American (Revy), as well as Rock's Japanese presence. Much of the particular flavour and interesting tensions within Black Lagoon can be put down to its split production origins, a dichotomy also reflected in dramatis personnel.
#Watch black lagoon season 1 english dub movie
"Black Lagoon" is a team of mercenaries who are hired for all sorts of things! This anime is mostly about their adventures! The action used in this anime is similar to that of a hong kong movie! Mostly it is heroic bloodshed! With some martial arts in it! Although this show has a lot of action it also has some substance! There are some themes in the plot that will make you think! For example there are these twins (little children) who are coldblooded killers! But they are this way because they have been (sexually) abused and forced into this life of crime in a very brutal way! So these victims have become villains themselves! Maybe it is too far-fetched to believe,but in real life these things do happen! What makes this anime so special that there is no real evil and real good,all the characters are all villains! Even "Rock" the main character admits being a villain but one who observes! He is the one in the middle of all the things that happen! There are many interesting characters! There are gun blazing nuns, a "terminating" maid,killer twins and much much more! There is also "Revy", a very attractive Chinese-American woman who rolled into this life of crime with ease! Her nickname is "Two Hand" (what do you think she holds in these two hands? Guns of course!) You will know very fast what makes her special! It is nice to see that among these characters most of them are also gun blazing women who are just as dangerous as the men! There are a lot of jokes in this anime who are actually really subtle! In very serious conversations people constantly are referring to famous movies and actors,which make it a feast for movie lovers!Ī creation of eastern production team Madhouse and American Geneon from an original graphic novel by Rei Hiroe, this is an adult-aimed anime series which turns out well above average, even if not quite on the consistent level as such standalone Madhouse features as Millennium Actress (2001), or Tokyo Godfathers (2003). These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles. This series isn't suitable for younger viewers because of the levels of violence, swearing and one case of extreme, but not graphic, sexual threat but older viewers who like plenty of action should love this.
It isn't all bleakness though there are some laughs to be had especially in scenes between Revy and a gunslinging 'nun' from the Ripoff Church. Inevitably this leads to a few downbeat moments including a couple of real tear-jerking moments. As you might have guessed there is a lot of action in this series and it is all pretty exciting giving us a sense that the protagonists could be harmed. Rock may bring us into this world but it is Revy who is the real protagonist she is a great antihero she is nearly always angry and never ducks out of the opportunity for a fight. Rock is a great character to introduce the murky world of Rainapur in many ways he represents the audience an ordinary person taken into a world he struggles to come to terms with. Over the course of the series they will have many scrapes and in every one the bullets will fly! I've seen quite a few anime series and think this is one of the best of them. They are based in the lawless city of Roanapur where there must work with and fight against a number of dangerous organisations most notably 'Hotel Moscow' a Russian Mafia run by a woman called Balalaika. Revy soon dubs Rokuro 'Rock' and this new name sticks. The crew consists of Dutch the captain Benny, a computer and communications expert and Revy, a woman with a bad temper and two guns that she uses expertly. When he learns that his boss has no real interest in him he joins the pirates. This series follows Rokuro Okajima a Japanese salaryman who finds himself taken hostage by a trio of pirates aboard an old torpedo boat.
