@@ProfessorViral its is most likely best underground criminal action anime ever made, i mean there are more but normally its has more than that like superpowers, or Magic etc... Black lagoon and other fews One that is category of action, criminal life with a lot of fun and dirt jokes and a lot bullets action 😁
I feel like that guy who's favourite obscure band just blew up and became popular. It feels good to see this show finally get some mainstream attention, but at the same time, I don't get to claim it as this cool thing that only I and a few other cool people know 😭 I hope it's received well and people don't just water it down to the basic "best girl", "she thicc", "ship fandom" kind of nonsense. Not that it would be a big deal, but it would kind of bum me out.
I will never get over this anime. From time to time i need to watch it again cause it's such so endearing yet dark. No one anime is like that. Not only fights like but themes they explore and character developments or characters in general. Best anime, hands down.
It gives to some videos, and takes away from others. Usually the second one, but hey. I'm glad you enjoyed though, and Black Lagoon definitely could use some more attention, as such an original anime!
I been noticing that a lot of people are looking again at Lagoon and Code Geass, I recently re Watched both and I got to day 2006 and 2010 where awesome years for anime, and I can only wish that the later manga chapters of lagoon get a new adaptation to anime I miss this show so much.
I got into it back when it came out, but didn't have the means to really keep up. 15 years later I was still remembering what little bit I'd seen and got back into it.
This series is still one of my favorite series of all time. I always find myself rewatching this series over and over again. Such a great series with awesome characters. ❤
I started watching this show on Netflix just because I had nothing to watch and I liked the thumbnail, but I knew nothing about it... now it is my favorite anime of all time. It must be watched with English dub by the way, for the first time ever English dub is a million times better than the original Japanese
nah, the dub aint it for me, i felt that way for code geass, but the sub is far better for black lagoon. i took a listen to a few scenes of the dub and while it's not as bad as others voice acting-wise, the overall audio sounded weird and the VAs don't bring out the characters as well as the sub imo. idk how to explain it, but i'm really glad i watched it in sub. btw i started anime with like naruto and bleach in dub and i now think the subs of those are slightly better so i'm not entirely basing it on what version i watched first. code geass is one of the few anime i still prefer in dub.
Nah fr,I just finished watching the entire series (except the Omake) and I have to say all the characters are compelling and really drew me in, especially Rock’s cunning/wit as he struggles with falling into place in Roanapur. The female characters, while often objectified by the camera, are so well-written, explosive, and keep me coming back for more. (And Balalaika is mommy)
Watched so many different anime’s, but this one, this shit be bustin’...... best anime hands down, I love the feeling it brings when I watch it. The vibe is like a thrown off Tarantino film or some shit. It’s SO COOL. And Roberta’s blood trail is FIREEEEEEE.
I've watched a few of you vids and love your look on the few black lagoon vids, this is a show I've watched like 4 or 5 times and it's always great. You definitely got a sub from me
Currently watching it at the moment as it was on netflix and looked right up my street, i havent been dissapointed so far really good series just finished the first season 👌🏻
I wish more anime reactors would recognize this anime more it’s such a great anime either dub or sub and it’s not a fantasy story or super hero show this is a show bout villains n reality
Easily one of my favorite shows of all time. It just has one problem, and its kinda big. Also i have no idea if this is a hot take or not since i dont see people talking about it. Im talking about the action scenes, they are way too unrealistic and i think it really hurts the quality of the show. This anime is clearly based on the real world so going against the real world rules is objectively a mistake. Its fine if it happens once or twice, but the main characters get put into guaranteed death situations in pretty much every fight. For one, it gets kinda annoying and for two, after seeing a couple fights, you will never feel like the main characters are actually in danger, since standing in front of 10 armed men apparently wont get them killed. Its not even about one person killing twenty, you can still make that realistic in one way or another, but these guys are literally dodging bullets. I would have never watched this anime if it was all about action like a lot of people think.
The way I see it's kinda like the disconnect between gameplay and cutscenes in a video game. Like Nathan Drake can kill people in gameplay but in cutscenes he's never killed anyone. Also alot of the stakes are rooted more in emotion than actual danger
@@ProfessorViral ohhh so you havnt seen it yet? Lucky I wish I watch it again without knowing anything. you'll enjoy it, Entire series is only 24 episodes i believe and I wish it was longer. So far havnt found another show to scratch that itch the way Jormungand or Black Lagoon does.
This is one I think has held up exceptionally well as time goes on, even some other anime from the late 2000's are already feeling dated and BL hasn't. A slight tangent from your comment, but basically agreeing that it should stay as is haha
@@ProfessorViral ya, and i found out the creator may stop because he has depression made me even more sad.....but i heard that they have enough to animate a few seasons i just hope we get to see our show again 💔
You have to be able to put up with a bit of typically "anime" stuff with how some of the women are written very rarely, but the story is very much worthwhile for how deeply character driven it is, they're all much more than tropes
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed! The low count gets me down a bit, but I'm just happy to have what I do, and that people want to watch! Also, I used Google Translate, so I'm hoping it got everything right for me to understand here. Спасибо, я рада, что вам понравилось! Низкий счет меня немного расстраивает, но я просто счастлив, что делаю то, что делаю, и что люди хотят смотреть! Кроме того, я использовал Google Translate, так что я надеюсь, что он правильно понял здесь.
i wonder if balalaika is a bit too ... bad ... she seems like a psychopath with no feelings. on the other hand she rescued a child. her behaviour doesnt match. sorry for my poot english. good work as always, mr. professor
I did always think having her save a kid was a bit of an odd choice. I think we can fill in her character a bit from the small amount we see of her as a more pure-hearted child to how she became so jaded, but we don't see that so it was slightly forced to draw a parallel between her and Caxton. Also no problems on the english, thank you for the comment! : D
The gun fights are both done good and badly. Roberta the maid episodes where the worst case of the bad gun fighting. And most of the fight end in draws but dumb ones. It's bad cause majority of the cast have plot armor and the show fears killing anyone off except for a few people or one of characters. Which sucks cause the characters are cool and the show is greatly voice casted and excellent background music. But those stupid moments even in a world of professional kills to not be able to kill each other just cause they don't want to. Makes this such a dumb watch that is at least better then most and does make you laugh at least in a good way.
The promotion around the series leans into it more. While the anime itself still has some, it does well about characters being much more than eye catches
ProfessorViral rock is a pretty unique character and I find him very complex although he is normal you can see him adapting to roanapur wether it’s the moral degradation of the city affect him and I love the juxtaposition with him and revy
This quickly became my favorite anime of all time after binging it in 2 days
I went through it pretty quick as well, it pulled me in way to much!

@@topsecret5110 lol
You too?
The way I often put it is that under all the over-the top action and cussing, black lagoon is low-key one of the smartest anime/manga out there.
That's a good way to put it. It's not all flash, but there's sure as hell some flash haha
I will never get over this anime. From time to time i need to watch it again cause it's such so endearing yet dark. No one anime is like that. Not only fights like but themes they explore and character developments or characters in general. Best anime, hands down.
I haven't found many that are as satisfyingly dark as Black Lagoon for sure. It's not top of my list, but it's up there for sure!
Man, the YT algorithm really screwed this over. Damn shame because more people need to know about this show.
It gives to some videos, and takes away from others. Usually the second one, but hey. I'm glad you enjoyed though, and Black Lagoon definitely could use some more attention, as such an original anime!

Black Lagoon made me fall in love with anime. It will always be my all time favorite. And yes it all happened last year.... ^^' late for the party
Hey, I was even later than that, so it's all good haha
It'd be wrong to call Black Lagoon underated but Im glad its is still getting youtube attention. Looking foward to more content
Thank you, I'm sure I'll have some more in the future!
I first watched Black Lagoon as a tween, and it's still my favorite anime to watch over and over again to this day.
where did you wacth it i cant find it anyhwere
"I'm stuck in 2006 this week"
Don't worry I'm stuck in 2015 for god knows how long
I actually haven't seen many from 2015 weirdly. Death Parade is the only standout I know of
2015 didn't have many memorable shows
I got into it back when it came out, but didn't have the means to really keep up. 15 years later I was still remembering what little bit I'd seen and got back into it.
Glad to see you came back to it after all those years!
This series is still one of my favorite series of all time. I always find myself rewatching this series over and over again. Such a great series with awesome characters. ❤
It's one I'm for sure recommending from now on, an unexpectedly great, unique and dark anime is a win any day
Thank you for supporting black looking in 2020 as well. 💙
No problem, thanks for watching!
We need more seasons now that the manga is back
For sure, we're all holding out a bit of hope

It must be watched with English dub by the way, for the first time ever English dub is a million times better than the original Japanese
I don't have a preference, but I do love the English performances. They're engaging, without going over the top, a real rarity for anime sadly lol

Cough, cough.. Second to Cowboy Bebop for best anime dub of all time.

There's something about it. Even similar anime like Jormungand don't feel quite as "real" in a dark way
@@ProfessorViral where do you go to watch it
I've watched a few of you vids and love your look on the few black lagoon vids, this is a show I've watched like 4 or 5 times and it's always great.

Damn, if only there were 10 seasons... Could watch this anime forever
Commenting for the algorithm. More ppl need to know about this show
Appreciated, and agreed
Here is a comment for the algorithm. This was a very good video
Thank you, I appreciate the bump!
best anime in the world
It's up there for sure! Not my number one, but in the select few

Black lagoon is my favorite anime, it's just amazing.
It's a great pick for the top spot!
Black Lagoon Bad Company sounds like either a fanfic, or another OVA.
Roberta is my favorite character in this, my favorite anime. Highly recommend it
Looks so dope!!
just watched it again
Dang imagine more black lagoon in 2021
Hey, we get an announcement of some kind on the 18th I think?
I don't think I've ever watched Black Lagoon in 7 minutes before. Unless it's that one compilation.
I come back and rewatch this anime regularly
I'm seeing a lot of people saying that, it seems like this anime is one people can't get enough of!
If you enjoy black lagoon then you have to watch jormungand its an absolute must.
I saw a lot of people mentioning it on my other Black Lagoon video, so I have it on my soon to watch list!
@@ProfessorViral ohhh so you havnt seen it yet? Lucky I wish I watch it again without knowing anything. you'll enjoy it, Entire series is only 24 episodes i believe and I wish it was longer. So far havnt found another show to scratch that itch the way Jormungand or Black Lagoon does.
Cool cool, hopefully you'll see a video about it pop up in a bit here!
I pray to God that this never gets a re-dub because it would not be the same in any way.
This is one I think has held up exceptionally well as time goes on, even some other anime from the late 2000's are already feeling dated and BL hasn't. A slight tangent from your comment, but basically agreeing that it should stay as is haha
@@ProfessorViral Too right it should. Can you imagine a 'pc' dub of Black Lagoon? That would be a travesty.
Black Lagoon is a anime without being too much anime
ahh yes one of the best romance in anime❤
For those who like Black Lagoon then try out Jormandr, same producers and it follows arms dealers.
I think the premise makes them similar enough, but Jormungand lacked the depth that made Black Lagoon really work for me
@@ProfessorViral I agree that it isn’t as solid as Black Lagoon but it was still enjoyable for me.
Bro that one Arc with the twins came out of nowhere and that's f***** up thing I've seen in anime
all hail youtube algorithm
It gives, and it takes away. A lot. Mostly the second one lol
This video worked on me and now I wanna watch the arc with the Americans but can’t find it anymore.
I used Funimation for it, but I'm not sure where else it is
give me the name of the song
Can anyone say if they released any new series or ep?
As of right now, I believe it's simply the manga slowly being released, at a pretty inconsistent schedule
I love it all man
I remember watching this on Toonami like 8 years ago roughly
Shit really hit different
Oh god, I would be a very different person if I watched this 8 years ago lol
god i love this anime
It's a good pick!
well...book 13 manga black lagoon arrives dec17 2024 guess its not much well if they ever did get a new season we'd need 20 manga books or more
Wish I could but Netflix lost their minds and removed it of their services.
I watched it now im depressed i want more....
Yeah, I've been trying to find a similar series (thematically and character wise, not the action, etc) and it's been a struggle to
@@ProfessorViral ya, and i found out the creator may stop because he has depression made me even more sad.....but i heard that they have enough to animate a few seasons i just hope we get to see our show again 💔
Would anyone recommend this to someone who has barely watched anime and finds a lot of tropes in anime kinda cringe?
You have to be able to put up with a bit of typically "anime" stuff with how some of the women are written very rarely, but the story is very much worthwhile for how deeply character driven it is, they're all much more than tropes
Disney should learn with Japan in how to create great badass strong female characters
Where can i read the whole story????
Amazon has the complete Blu-ray. I just bought it right now 👍👍

I don't watch black lagoon bcs of the sexualization

No Shenhua shots? Worst BL video ever 0\10.
Maybe in my 15 other videos on it 👀 I've talked about the series too much
Black lagoon is so underrated because people take it as an edge fest anime
I was worried it might be one of those at first, but it kept out of anything that was too far, and was just damn engaging!
