Black Lagoon

"This 2006, 12 episode series has been my favorite so far. It’s not typical in that it’s set in modern day, on earth and everyone is human. You’d be surprised. I’ve noticed biggest plot pusher in anime is you take an innocent, pure character drop them in some outrageous situations with whatever scallawags make up the rest of the cast. These scallawags, literal pirates, are the coolest characters with great action sequences and dialogue. It ends ambiguously and no one really knows why they haven’t ever done a 2nd season based on its popularity. This also has my new favorite song as its theme song and some hauntingly beautiful outro music. This is a good “starter” anime, for people like me. "

"Action packed and has entertaining characters."

"Such a great anime. First 2 episodes feel a bit weak and cartoonish compared to the deeper parts of the series"

"In my top 3! Such great characters and action. "

"Fun action and great dialogue and character writing. Is the perfect anime for people who don't like anime tropes "

"My favorite anime to this day! "

"One of my favorite animes hands down one of the best definitely watch it if you're into some dark s***"

"Oh absolutely. If you like cool action scenes, fun characters, and a lot of swearing, you’ll love this. "

"IT WAS AWESOME"

"19th favorite anime/manga series, mostly for the anime, pretty much an epic old-school American action movie in anime form."
