Black Lagoon

[Aussie-Byron]

DESCRIPTION:
Rokuro Okajima is a meek, mundane and metropolitan man on a business trip to South East Asia. But things quickly go from pleasure cruise to festival of pain when modern day pirates board the ship and take him hostage! Revy, Dutch and Benny are merciless, maniacal and mean and together, they make up the crew of the Black Lagoon. A mercenary group has hired them to steal a data disc Rokuro was carrying and with it, classified information that threatens the peace and security of the entire world!

Has anyone seen it?

I'm finding it really good, I just haven't heard anyone mention it or anything...

I've got the first volume, but haven't sat down and watched it yet. I'm going on the advice of Spike, who said its good viewing.

I thought this was a great series. It took me a few eps to get into it, but it improved arc by arc.

The action was well choreographed, the dialogue was good and the humour was right on the mark. The second series was even better than the first.

I've read about it in the Madman newsletter. They compared it to Cowboy Bebop, which is so sacreligious I had an involuntary reaction against watching it. Maybe I will change my mind if enough people tell me it's good.

Well, I bought the V1 DVD off Madman. And I couldn't wait to watch the rest so now I'm on Second Barrage. Haven't been watching much of it in the past few days... (Damn you Brawl/Physical Training)
