Black Lagoon

An interesting anime. Lots of action, large breasted (and quite violent) women entwined in a plot about a 25 (maybe a bit older) year old trying to find his place in the world. Boring right? Hell no. He gets kidnapped by pirates (the Black Lagoon Company) and gets abandoned by the firm he works for. He then joins the pirates in their misadventures to get money and power. Lots of action with a hint of romance. By the end of the second episode, you can tell who likes who. While the love side-plot is slightly predicable, the real story is not. The first season, simply entitled Black Lagoon, appealed to me more than Black Lagoon: Second Barrage solely because it focused more on random mini-plots where the group was trying to make money. The Second season has more of a “season” plot. I’m hoping for a third season as the second one did not end very well…and the anime is ongoing.
