| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- isnt it stupid how the ppl in the sub died by lack of air, yer revy and rock dont need oxygen, and just breathe? |
 |
| CO2 build up, over time the plants may have replaced the air so its not that odd........ besides its an anime dude lol |
| It's anime dude. LOL! :3 And to think that they didn't because of lack of oxygen, they had a gunfight right? So they've stopped breathing when there's still oxygen left. |
     |
| I guess you're right, but sometimes an in depth story can also be interesting instead of non-stop action xD, next episode will most likely make up for it =] |
ixidor125 said: isnt it stupid how the ppl in the sub died by lack of air, yer revy and rock dont need oxygen, and just breathe? I thought that too. Saying, "its just an anime" doesn't cut it imo either. All writers should strive for some sort of consistency in their stories. If the writer sets the story in our world then they have a certain obligation to follow the laws of physics. If they wish to set the story in a fantasy world that is another story (example; Full Metal Alchemist, Star Wars). I, however, thought of a couple things that would allow oxygen to exist in the sub. Firstly, it is possible that all the crew committed suicide before dying of carbon dioxide poisoning. Secondly, the crew of the sub would not have died because of a lack of oxygen, they would have died because of an abundance of CO2 which is poisonous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercapnia). Point is there would still be quite a bit of Oxygen left. Clearly, enough to allow bacteria to decay the bodies. If the vessel had CO2 scrubbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_lime), or some plants survived (unlikely) then perhaps without people using a large portion of it CO2 levels were brought back to normal. I don't think it is likely that plants survived (I didn't see any in the anime, but I wasn't really watching) as they wouldn't have a supply of fresh water. Anyway, minor nitpick. I think this is a good anime. This episode had a good speech by Remy. |

| I also was thinking about the oxygen thing the whole time as well also, interesting to know that Revy is Chinese... |
 |
| Hmm, I'm not too sure either about the submarine situation but I'm intrigued so I'll have to check and see if it was actually possible to breathe down there. Didn't expect to get 3 straight episodes of Nazi's though, next episode is going to be fun. =D |
| the gunfight was good, that i guess we also got a look at revy's past a little |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I'm loving having nazis as villains in shows again! Revy's voice is so cool. The speech she did was also very good and served as a bit of character development. Haha now the crew are angry, time for revenge. |

ManU-Alchemist said: I don't know about you guys but to me this was probably the worst episode of Black Laggon so far. I don't remember anything good happening except for that little gunfight in the last minute or so. Hopefully it gets better. I don't know how character development is a bad thing. Frankly I enjoyed the scene where Revy revealed a little about her past. I've also enjoyed the flash backs and things like that, it's always cool when a show you thought was going to be constant mindless action actually has a story to it. So, it definetly wasn't a bad episode. Hell No. |

| background story on revy, its nice to know more about her past and the reasons why she does what she does. I also liked the way she told her past. the dubs were alright, though i liked the japanese dialect better for her story. it seems like revy has finally had enough of rock's whining on the next ep. looking forward to it. |
| I really don't know what to say about this episode. Everyone is criticizing the oxygen story. It didn't bother my that much, and i actually think this episode was very funny from the begining till the end (the stupid nazis singing their song and crying)... and Revy's speech also looked good... but i can't wait to see some REAL ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| The oxygen part really got on my nerves and Rock is pretty much useless...just gets in the way... |
| Good to see me and a few others I watched this episode with weren't the only ones wondering about the oxygen situation. Pretty good episode either way. |
| The oxygen bit didn't really bother me, i thought it was odd but whatev. Good ep anyway, im looking forward to seeing how it turns out. |
| They're nazis and they cried like babies, that's kind of ridiculous. |
| Maybe I misunderstood, but the whole thing about the oxygen running out. Didn't all of the Nazi's die in a firefight prior to running out of oxygen (hence the whole oxygen still being there thing..?) |
 |
| lol Nazis. |
| I wish to see more of Revy's past Her life must've been horrible |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| Favorite episode so far. It's finally getting interesting. |
 |
| Revy's past is dark. o.o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| If this show had magic i would have been able to accept the fact that O2 was still there but it is too real so it preoccupied my thoughts. Either way not bad with some animosity between Rock and Revy. Plus they didn't succeed so that makes things more interesting. At least the fighting between them was pretty balanced this time. |
| I tell ya, Revy's pseudo-intellectual/philosophical speeches are starting to piss me off. |
 |
| i thought the oxygen thing was self explanatory,since they died in a gunfight... this and the previous episodes were really good :),i'm hoping for more like this to come 5/5 |

h4z said: Revy is Chinese?? Nice :D Exactly what I was thinking! Lol! Now their going to give those Nazi's one hell of a fight. |
| Liked everything about this episode, even the Nazi crying like emotive little girls! And am I smelling a longer arc? Yay! |
 |
| I like how Revy really is a badass and not the classic rough character that then turns out to have a heart of gold. She really is a pirate and it would have been out of character for her to accept Rock's reasoning and put the stuff back. |

| Never would have guessed that Revy was Chinese. |
| revy is mad... nazi's gonna get raped xD |
 |
| I love this episode for entertainment, however, you really shouldn't analyze it... anime physics sure work mysterious xD |
| you could say since they left the gear, they opened their a little O2?? very surprising Revy is chinese, im guessing she's half chinese and russian since in the last episode she was called a dangerous russian. or it could be she was raise in russian after running away?? rock is soo stupid, i don't even know why this douchebag is in the show. not only he's talking like everyone had a normal life, but also manage to left the painting in the middle of the battle. should have been killed by Revy in the very first episode. overall love the back story and bits and pieces. sure the pacing seems to be slow, but i enjoyed it and love Revy's voice :) |
| It seems like I was the only person here who still had a problem with Revy taking those medals even after her bullshit speech. |

| Let's turn the Nazi party into a blood party ! |
 |
| Loved that conversation between Revy and Rock in the darkness. She sure has the attitude and skills to make it through in this cruel world. 5/5. |
 |
| So, a little bit of character development in this episode. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| I really liked this episode. It had an Uncharted-esq vibe :D |

armeg said: It seems like I was the only person here who still had a problem with Revy taking those medals even after her bullshit speech. I actually agreed with her speech, and the snippets of her past show that it is perfectly reasonable for her to loot from the dead. I mean if you grew up, being reduced to how much money you have it's normal to value money above everyting else and to see objects not for their possible ideological/emotional value but simply in terms of how much money they are worth. |
| "Truth is always a delusion." - Friedrich Dürrenmatt |
| I don't agree with what Revy said and I don't think Rock agrees either. But I believe it's a normal outcome of Revy's past and current lifestyle to think like that. She didn't have the same opportunities like others and she didn't have the privilege to have higher morals. When you fight to survive you awake your animal instincts. I think that's what Rock also realised and stoped talking (besides Revy threatening to kill him :)) |

I've seen this all around this fucking site and it's starting to tick me off. What else is this show good for? The dialogue and the characters are boring. I'm just watching it for the mindless action. Texhnolyze and Bakemonogatari are in my favorites, I don't think every anime should be non-stop action. This one just has nothing else going for it. Dumbass. Weakest episode yet. This and the last one. Disappointing. |
