"This anime had Extreme violence and strong language. It not rated PG, it rated 16+ age. This anime use the "F" word a lot, mostly on every episode.
For a price of $22.99 for 4 episode is a great price $5.75 for each episode. Run time's 100 min. is about 1 hour and 40 min. This DVD had 5.1 DTS audio(english) and 16:9 anamorphic wide screen. So it look and sound great in your HDTV and surround Sound system. The anime had good plot about a group of outlaw at Southwest Asia. There a lot of shooting than the first volume. In this volume contain semi-nudity, there a little love story between Revy and Rock. There're two good part in this volume is the maid's a very sexy maid name Roberta(is a woman), who's armed, carry a shotgun(cleverly disguised as an umbrella), second part is the next Volume of Black Lagoon, which Revy and Roberta will fight each other. This's going to be HOT! I don't want to spoil anyone until you see it.
But overall is a great DVD that worth your money, This anime is very similar to Cowboy Bebop style. Great drama, action, and comedy.
Very high recommandation/ Buy it.
Humor: adult swim unsure about air this on tv, they may air it or you can make them by fan-mail about this anime."
Black Lagoon...Full Speed Ahead

"The Saga of the Black Lagoon and it's unsavory crew continues as protagonists Rock and Revy, visit the gloomy remains of a German U-Boat to retrieve a Nazi-era painting. While inside the wreckage, Rock confronts Revy over the morality of their looting this wreckage and gains further insight into her brutal, nihilistic attitude...it all culminates to a fast-paced, exciting gun fight against neo-nazi storm troopers on board their ship. Unfortunately, for viewers of the Japanese version, hearing sea-faring, neo-nazi Sturmabteilung spout their overconfident bravado in Japanese robs these episodes of some of their realism. Next, Rock spends a day working odd jobs for Dutch with a reluctant Revy...still sore from their exchange in the submarine, Revy doesn't take too kindly to Rock's challenge that she look inside herself and confront her inner demons...Black Lagoon continues to be an exciting and at times, profound, anime. (The PG rating seems a little bit low given the high levels of graphic violence and profanity, so be warned)"
