Action and Anti-Heroes

"I own literally hundreds of anime DVDs. I am a fan of such shows as Noir, Madlax, Planetes, Egro Proxy and Gunsmith Cats. The sort of anime that is not too over-the-top science fiction and that has a tone of realism. For my buck Black Lagoon has to rate as my all time favorite.
If you like action, darker storylines and morally "interesting" characters then this anime is for you. I just pray that Geneon gets their distribution nightmare worked out and the 2nd Barrage is eventually released. While Black Lagoon is fantastic, Black Lagoon: 2nd Barrage is simply awsome.
Even if you can only ever get a hold on these first three volumes it will well be worth the price of purchase."
The best action anime of 2007!

"I got it for special price of 21.99(available when Amazon's low on stock). This DVD is NOT rated PG, 16 and up, extreme violence & strong language. The volume 3 of Black Lagoon continue story about kidnap a Cuban boy from his home. Roberta (is a woman), who's armed, carry a shotgun (cleverly disguised as an umbrella). She was sent to rescue the kid and bring him home alive. I DO NOT want to spoil any one, a short review is there will be a cat fight (Roberta and Revy), it going to be HOT, new plot of who's the most dangerous women, CIA involvements of new terrorist group, and Guerrillas. Overall is the best yet to come. The DVD's feature is 5.1 DTS audio (English) and 16:9 anamorphic wide screen. So it looks and sounds great in your HDTV and surround Sound system. Action pack, funny, smart, buy it!"
