https://i0.wp.com/razovy.com/wpcontent/uploads/2023/08/BlackLagoon.jpg?w=1280ssl=1 Go watch the Black Lagoon Anime RIGHT NOW WTF is Black Lagoon Let me start off by saying that I was inspired to write this review because of a video I watched by a YouTuber called No Bones. Anyway what in the actual fuck is Black Lagoon? Well thats a good question We start off our story with some random douche called Rokuro who is on a business trip to some godforsaken country. While sailing to his destination a group of pirates no not the arrrr ones modernday ones climb on board and rob all passengers blind. Rokuro is taken as a hostage and is forced to sail back to some nastyass city somewhere in SouthEast Asia. disclaimer SouthEast Asia is fucking awesome so dont me. However you cant deny there are some dingy cities there where God aint looking After getting there his captors turn out to not be your typical kidnappers and actually seem to adopt Rokuro into their group somewhat. When its time to cash in it turns out Rokuro is abandoned by the company that is supposed to buy his freedom. Disappointed in not just the company he works for but in his entire life Rokuro now dubbed Rock decides to join his former captors and becomes a pirate taking on odd jobs while living the life of a free man. Sounds pretty good right? https://i0.wp.com/razovy.com/wpcontent/uploads/2023/08/Revy1.gif?resize=4982C277ssl=1 Why Black Lagoon is SPECIAL Well for one Black Lagoon is an anime centered around adults. This might not sound very special but the idea that we follow adults in an adult setting doing adult things is rather refreshing when the anime medium is mainly centered around high school kids. If youre a high school kid then youve probably never given it a second thought but as an adult its refreshing to see something like this In No Bones video he also talks about a scene where Rock wakes up a halfnaked Revy and we dont see this over the top bullshit reaction where Rock goes something like Im a boy and seeing a naked girl makes my peepee hard. Yes as a young boy the mere idea of a woman might give you an erection but as an adult its kind of hard to relate to that shit anymore. Yes its a woman calm the fuck down. Turns out shes a person too and not just a walking vagina. Who knew? Furthermore Black Lagoon is badass. The idea that youre absolutely abandoned by everyone and you just say: fuck it and start a new life in some godforsaken place. Now if that isnt badass I dont know what is. And it aint just Rock that makes this anime badass what about Revy? That girl might be absolutely insane but if it wasnt for her this anime wouldnt be half as good. https://i0.wp.com/razovy.com/wpcontent/uploads/2023/08/ripbozo.gif?resize=4982C277ssl=1 Black Lagoon will get you canceled If there is one thing I 100 agree with in No Bones video its the idea that the Black Lagoon Anime could NOT be released today. That shit would be canceled within seconds Racist jokes the usage of alcohol and drugs sexist remarks and other shit that will get anyones panties in a twist nowadays. Black Lagoon portrays certain aspects of adult life that many want to be stashed away and forgotten about. Now I aint about to get political because I honest to God couldnt care less about what you believe in but I for one love how this anime portrays the relationship between men and women and how most folks treat racial differences. Why? Because it portrays reality. The relationship between men and women is skewed racial differences arent celebrated and the lives of many are fucked. These are facts and Black Lagoon has the balls to portray all of it. Its not saying that these things are good or bad for that matter it just portrays real life and I fucking love it https://i0.wp.com/razovy.com/wpcontent/uploads/2023/08/revyyawn.gif?resize=4982C337ssl=1 Conclusion Alright folks thats about it I reckon. Black Lagoon is one of my absolute favorite Anime of all time and I sincerely hope youre going to watch it too. Im not sure if this shit is on Netflix Crunchyroll or any of those other terrible streaming platforms that folks cream their pants over nowadays because theyre soooo good for the anime industry theyre not. Enjoy the rest of your day and dont forget to watch Black Lagoonhttps://anilist.co/anime/889/BlackLagoon/
