Greatest action anime of all time. The atmosphere and characters are top notch. Must watch in the original English Dub.

so far im on episode 10 of season 1 and its a pretty solid action anime with some great direction and stylization. I also feel like Revy and Rock are both actually fairly complicated 3 dimentsional characters. I also like how it mixes its over the top action movie esthetic with its somewhat anti-capitalist nihilistic themes. Episode 5 in particular was an amazing episode. Anyway, im not completely in love with it but its definitely a really solid show I don't know why people would hate on it.

One of my favourites shows. Only thing I can think that I didn't like are action scenes which are as unrealistic as possible but since action is an addition to the story this didn't bother me in the overall experience.

Its my 2nd favorite anime of all time and even tho i’m a sub person the dub of this hits VERY hard so i personally advise you to watch it in, in dub preferably, its one of the best animes ever and in fact underrated not overrated

I prefer sub in everything but if the dub is that good I'll watch season 2 in dub.

For me, it kinda eliminate any sense of being worried about characters's sake (a. k. a plot armor) like ofc they won't die or won't be in any bigger danger because of this type of action where they are basically immortal.

It also really contrast with this world which seems quite realistic. OFC there are also elements which are very pretentious but still compared to other action anime world of Black Lagoon is quite realistic.

But that just me clinging to details.

my thoughts exactly.
I have multiple Instagram gcs that have told me it's more of an underground anime so I also don't see how it's overrated.

Rewatched it recently, and while I still like it, I wasn't as big a fan of Rock and Roberta the second time around (though that's probably influenced by the OVA)

Been quite some years since i finished it but i always liked it. The first season more than the 2nd one and Revy was a favorite of mine. I actually plan on reading the manga. Already have it downloaded just haven’t gotten to it yet. I prefer “Jormungand” though and you should give it a try honestly

either way it's my fav action anime of all time. revy is my fave female character of any anime.
The sub is well done for this as well, but I thought the English VA for Revy elevated her character so much and added extra punch to each of her lines with a lot of localization flair (without being obnoxious) for western audiences.

Go back and watch the Rock and Revy blowup conversation scene in dub. Its amazing and full of emotion that outdoes the jap original.

Its been generally said that the Jap ALWAYS conveys emotion much better than any english dubs due to being more trained in voice acting. But damn. Black Lagoon is one of the few shows that breaks that rule, cos the eng dub has been considered the definitive way to experience Black Lagoon.

plus it has a great female caste

and this is one of those series where the the dub is far better than the sub

I dont really find it that good, it feels kinda like a low budget action movie that was made into an anime. However it has revy and balalaika 2 of the baddest bitches in anime so......

I honestly loved it. It feels like a generic action anime in the beginning but once I got used to the characters I was completely invested. the main character walks this line between the world he knew and the new world he is entering and I love it. its definitely not everybody's cup of tea but worth giving it the 3 ep test at the very least.

Old fart here.
I'm not that much into actions films and animes in particular, especially not the stream of shonen neverending and talkative fights.
But this is pretty good: the pace and direction is great and the show really depicts gangsters in action. The south pacific context is a good choice and the show, even if there's plenty of nice and quick fights, is above all about atmosphere and character relationships.
The characters are not good guys disguised as bad ones: they are real bandits who usually will not go out of their way to help anybody but themselves, only circumstances sometimes force them to do so. Revy is not a nice good-looking chick with guns, she can be very creepy (like in the submarine).
It's a very lively show when you probably just always expect the worst from every character.
