shiroth Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Just sucks that the release date for the next three episodes has been pushed back. We won't get the third episode until January 2011 . Sucks as well, because it has a few scenes i've been wanting to see animated. Quote
ron5864 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I just started watching this series a few weeks ago and am already at Episode 20 of the 1st season. This is pretty awesome, hot chicks with permanent PMS and guns. Revy has that crazy element which make this all the better. Rock seems so reserve, like Renton from Eureka 7. Each epsidoe is a bag of TNT and never a dull moment. Somehow the Black Lagoon setting reminds me of Macross Zero. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 SUBS FOR #27 / OAV #3 ARE OUT!!! ROTTEN....ROTTEN ZA WIZARDU!!! Quote
Scream Man Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Oh there's a season 3?! Awesome, Id love more BL! Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Oh there's a season 3?! Awesome, Id love more BL! I would love a season 3 too! I'm still a little disturbed over some of season 2's episodes like the one with the killer kids, what made them that way, and how it ended. Quote
Gui Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 These eps count amongst the most brilliant works of fiction I've ever watched: pure horror at its climax; and it all can be so possible. Quote
Mog Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Wow. She did not just shoot. . . . . . . . . did she? Finally watched all three OVAs with subs. Interesting tidbit about Chang. Gonna have to rewatch that dialogue between him and Rock again. So, when is OVA #4 coming out? Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 SUBS FOR #28 / OAV #4 ARE OUT!!! ROTTEN....ROTTEN ZA WIZARDU!!! Quote
Mog Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for heads up, UN Spacy! Is it just me, or did Rock have that fang-looking grin usually reserved for Revy or Balalaika at the end of the ep? Interesting back-stories revealed here too. Can't heap enough praise on these OVAs! Definitely on par with the stuff from the first two seasons! Quote
Mog Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Subs for OVA #5 are now out. Not sure whether I like the ending or not. I'm curious to see how some of you interpreted the ending, specifically the one for Rock. But a few of my impressions: Just when you think you've seen everything, Roberta takes her hardcore craziness to another level. Very interesting backstories that they're showing in these OVAs. Revy's in particular was pretty frakked up. When (or why) did Roberta have her left arm amputated? Quote
miles316 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Subs for OVA #5 are now out. [*] When (or why) did Roberta have her left arm amputated? Does Roberta have something cool like a Gun of spring loaded knife built in to the prosthetic arm? Quote

Revy's in particular was pretty frakked up. When (or why) did Roberta have her left arm amputated? They're definitely leaving that door open. But yeah... her amputated left arm...must've been from all the nerve damage and random handgun rounds Quote
Mog Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I think Rock's slowly descending down the dark path. He has the best of intentions (to be a "Catcher in the Rye" type person, who saves people from descending into the criminal underworld themselves). But we all know the quote about the path to Hell and best intentions. His actions over the course of the entire OVA make him almost as bad as most of the folks in Roanapur. I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate ending has Revy shooting Rock in the head to "save" him from doing something truly evil and irredeemable. Regarding Roberta, I think the nerve damage and multiple gunshot wounds is a very likely reason. But I have a feeling the whole shooting at her young master bit prompted her to have the arm amputated (Didn't she mention something about not being able to control her arm and hand from firing the gun?). Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I'm still curious about the scene at the end where Roberta was being wheeled to the gate to meet those people at the entrance, what was that all about? -Kyp Quote
m30wm1x Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Can anyone post or pm me a link to stream? I don't torrent anymore. Thanks! Edited July 20, 2011 by m30wm1x Quote
Max Jenius Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Should I read the manga first before watching this series? I've been chipping away at it, but the animation seems so much more fitting. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 This will be on Toonami tonight, the animation looks great! Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Based on tonight's episode I might grab this one on DVD. Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Uh, there's the series and the OVA. I saw they are starting the series on Toonami. I thought this was a fairly known anime? Quote
Keith Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Well known, wxcept to those who only watch dubbed anime on tv. Quote
miles316 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Roberta's Bloody trail shocked me like "Elfen led" (sp?)!! Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Well known, wxcept to those who only watch dubbed anime on tv. Gotcha ha Ive been a fan forever, I'm honestly suprised it took so long to make it to US TV. I've gotten anime haters to thoroughly enjoy BL Quote
PetarB Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Really enjoyable series in an unusual - for anime - setting. I particularly enjoyed the nazi submarine stories. Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Based on tonight's episode I might grab this one on DVD. man, watching anime on toonami and buying DVDs. What's it like still living in 2002? Edited March 23, 2014 by anime52k8 Quote
Mog Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 It's fun to see the episodes again (even if it is dubbed). There's definitely some standout moments in the first season that I'm itchin' to see again (the defiant middle finger, Revy's soliloquy over a skull, Episode 7, "Your shoelaces are untied."). But I'm secretly hoping Toonami/Adult Swim airs Second Barrage too. That took the series to a whole new level of greatness. Quote
UN Spacy Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I still love the scene where Revy and Rock light their cigarettes....together. OT. I'm still kicking myself in the arse for canceling my preorder for ALTER's Revy figure. Quote
JetJockey Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I still haven't seen the newer OVA yet. But I can't wait to see it eventually. I have two Revy figures. I'm a big fan of the anime. Quote
