Black LagoonStephen Klancher: February 23, 2009 Ooo, cliffhanger... I took a break from this series for more than a month, but it's fun... can't go wrong when Nazis are the villain. Stephen Klancher: February 25, 2009 They looked way too calm taking out everyone on the entire Nazi ship. Fight scenes like that lack the tension that makes them interesting. Though killing the guy who was oh-so-proud of his special gun was pretty funny. I hope they go back to Revy acting unstable, and based on the "next-time" it looks like they will... Stephen Klancher: February 26, 2009 Nice, Rock shows some value and backbone. I really like how the outro music creeps in before the last scenes finish. Stephen Klancher: February 26, 2009 That was a great episode. The series finally hit it's stride. Roberta the maid became a total terminator and made a crazy contrast destroying the bar with her shotgun umbrella against the chill music. Stephen Klancher: March 3, 2009 R- P- G! Chan was pretty cool as was the blade woman he sent to meet Lagoon. Stephen Klancher: March 4, 2009 Shenhua, the Taiwanese blade chick is awesome; I hope they find a reason to bring her back. Stephen Klancher: March 6, 2009 Crazy. Different credits to go with the end of the episode. Interesting, although not better than the normal. Stephen Klancher: March 12, 2009 Yes I get it: the city is full of villains. It is villainous. Chock full of villainy. Thanks. Also: Taiwanese blade chick! Stephen Klancher: March 14, 2009 Stephen Klancher: March 15, 2009 Very weird to hear so much Japanese accented English in this episode. Since they were in Japan this episode there were parts where I guess they chose a common language of English... I think the characters are based out of Thailand... So even though the audio language of the episodes is primarily Japanese, does that mean they character language is supposed to be Thai? Or maybe Chinese, given that Revy is Chinese-American and based on how they interacted with the Taiwanese blade girl. hmm... Stephen Klancher: March 17, 2009 About to enter a battle with someone who shares no common language: "It doesn't matter, when the fight starts our bodies will move on their own." Stephen Klancher: March 19, 2009 I always enjoy the sword vs guns motif, implausible as it is. Balalaika is pretty cool and makes me wonder if the rumors of more episodes might be real...
