(Always character driven)
『I'll admit that I never saw Black Lagoon until I bought the Second Barrage (second season) set. The previews looked good so... I guess Revy is a little more psychotic in the first season and the Lagoon Co's relationship with the Russian Mafia (Hotel Moscow) is a little more cozy.

In spite of the murder and mayhem the writers do take the time to let the characters act and react to matter-of-fact situations. You find out about the characters more realistically, not by seeing their life story but in seeing how they handle any given predicament, large or small. This might seem like a minor point but if you're creating an anime series it takes a certain amount of guts to throw in character building dialogue and scenes that have nothing to do with sex or blowing somebody's head off, especially if you know that's the stuff many fans are looking for.

Black Lagoon is based on a manga comic series and it sounds like season 3 (at least as written) is re-introducing the super-killer maid Roberta seen in the first season. The first Roberta arc tied up nicely so I'm not sure seeing her again is a good thing. She borrowed quite a bit from "Terminator" and the "El Mariachi" movie series.』

(Beyond Great Anime, Great Cinema)
『This review is for the entire series. I have been watching anime since I first picked up a copy of "Battle Angel Alita" and then Ghost in the Shell from my local Blockbuster back in the early 1980s. Some anime is exceptional, some is not very good. This anime transcends its media and approaches cinema art. I was glad to hear a third series is in the works and is scheduled for release next year.
There is no need to describe the series any further than has been done in previous reviews and there is a very good detailed synopsis on Wikipedia.

I claim this is great anime for the following reasons:

1. The art work is outstanding. The viewer is routinely treated to incredibly detailed scenes like a view of the city from the harbor, the symbolic damaged idol, a blue butterfly from a boy's flashback. If you are a fan of weapons and equipment, they are drawn in incredible detail and accuracy in a Joseph Wight tradition. You will not be disappointed in the quality of this anime. Disney should take notes. While the series is compared to Cowboy Beebop due to its action nature and episodic style, visually it is far superior

2. The story lines are a collection of short stories that follow chronologically but can stand on their own. Unlike an anime like Ergo Proxy, you can spend an hour watching a few episodes and get a complete an entertaining story. Like in real life the stories are simple and full of action, but the characters are complex. There is quite a bit of philosophy snuck in, like Sartre, but it does not come across as pretentious or bog down the stories which are incredibly fun and mainly light hearted. The scenes are unashamedly cinematic.

3. The characters are complex. The viewer will not be spoon feed. With the exception of Rock, you never get the whole story about these characters. They all have their secrets. I especially like how the character "Revy" is allowed to be psychopathic, without an attempt to explain it away. The viewer's questions are left unanswered as to why the characters do all the things they do, just as we are in our relationships in real life. I appreciate as a viewer being treated as an adult without a 5 minute monologue of amateurish psychology attempting to reconcile aberrant behavior that all too common a tedious scene in anime. They are criminals like the Sopranos; I do not need their actions justified. In addition, the guest characters are incredibly rich. Fan favorites includes the assassin "Chinglish" who takes offense to Revy pointed out her broken English, and "Sister Edda", the nun equivalent to Revy. Every moment they are on the screen is a pure delight.

4. The sound track especially the intro is bold and fresh, as Revy quotes in one episode "It's not Jpop". Really sets the tone and gets your blood pumping.
As a warning to the creators of this anime, I will mention my only perceived negative I found in the series is by the end of the second series, Rock was being given way too much time and dialogue. The series ended with the character Rock wallowing in the way too typical young man of anime angst. If this continues in the third series it will kill it. The series is at its best when Dutch and Revy have most of the dialogue. As the creators appear to become more interested in the characters they have created, Rock is beginning to behave more like Shinji Ikari from Neon Evangelion and Revy's personality disorders are getting dangerously close to be explained. If that should happen the mystery of the series will be gone, and so will end the series. The first episodes worked so well because when Rock began to wallow in his typical Japanese anime guy angst winning, Revy or sometimes Dutch would cut him off either verbally or sometimes with a good punch. Some of my favorite scenes are when Revy is able to appropriately point out how ridiculous Rock's morbidity is. Too many anime's like Evangelion are heavily damaged by their young male characters winning about their indecisiveness. It's like some sort of adolescent male menopause.

With that said, if you are an anime fan, you should consider ordering this series if you like great characters, great animation, and great fun; this could be the very best anime series to date.
』

(Classic)
『This show is just awesome. A truly classic anime like cowboy bebop. It has amazing over the top action with a mix of great storytelling. A must even if you are not a anime fan.』

(Looking for a complex action anime? You found it!)
『I was really lucky to come across this series and after watching it I am perplexed as to why it is not much more popular than what it is. I know I am probably going to get creamed for this, but with it is hard for me to understand that Cowboy Bebop Remix, Volume 1 is super popular and Black Lagoon is as obscure as it is. Don't get me wrong, I really like Cowboy Bebop, but this is at least as good, and in my humble opinion, even better.

The series is based on a straight-forward concept. An office worker is kidnapped by a band of modern pirates and ends up joining them and becoming an outlaw himself. But then, this simple idea is complemented by an rich set of characters, interesting relationships, fine humor and a lot, and I really mean a lot, of action.

I really wish more people would get exposed to this series, since this shows how much can be done with anime, and also because it deserves to be successful. For my part, I'll add my grain of sand by recommending it without reservations.』

(Great action and lots of dark humor)
『First off, I was really impressed with the production values. The animation and sound was top notch. There was none of that cost saving corner cutting, which really adds to the overall feel of the show.

Secondly it's a really smart script with complex characters and tightly written plots.

Third lots of nifty violence, but with a black comedy twist.

Don't go in expecting Cowboy Bebop, although there are similarities Black Lagoon is a lot darker. You might like both. Cowboy Bebop is one of my all time favs too. However I find the two shows to have distinctly different flavors.

One thing that appealed to my inner philosophy major was that underlying theme of the whole anime is nihilism(Revy) v existentialism(Rock), which philosophy is more realistic--but without a single descent into academic angst or mention of a philosophical term. It was all fast paced action with a few comic turns on the surface, and can be appreciated on just that level, but there was heavy epistomological debate going on underneath. Personally, I thought that was pretty cool.』
『Best Action Anime of 2007- Anime Insider

Rokuro Okajima is meek, mundane and metropolitan. His business trip to South East Asia turns 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. Together, they make up the crew of the Black Lagoon. They are the exact opposite of Rokuro in every way but one... A mercenary group out has targeted them to steal the data disc that Rokuro had, and with it, classified information that threatens the peace and security of the entire world! Amen. Hallelujah. Peanut Butter.』
『The action-adventure seriesBlack Lagoon(2006) exemplifies the continuing confluence of Japanese and American filmmaking. Rokura Okajima, a minor flunkey in a powerful corporation, thinks his life is over when he's kidnapped by pirates. It's only his business career that ends: he joins the pirates as "Rock." The trio of Dutch, the understated leader; happy-go-lucky techie Benny; and trigger-happy Revy becomes a quartet, although Rock struggles to find a place in their shady underworld. They're less pirates than soldiers of fortune, ready to do anything if the price is right. Dutch, Benny, and Rock are fairly typical anime types and form a credible team. But murderous, potty-mouthed Revy has all the appeal of a rattlesnake in an Easter basket. This less-than-jolly crew pursues adventures involving treasure aboard a sunken WWII U-Boat, pornographers, drug and arms dealing nuns, kidnappings, and a terrorist plot to blow up US embassies. Bullets, blood and four-letter words fly, but it doesn't add up to much. The gun battles, car chases, knife fights, and explosions take up so much screen time, there's none left for character development or a coherent narrative. Although it's based on a manga by Rei Hiroe,Black Lagoonfeels like a cartoon version of a Hollywood blockbuster. Extremely violent and profane,Black Lagoonis not for the squeamish or easily offended. (Unrated appropriate for viewers over 17: graphic violence, violence against women, extensive profanity, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use, racial slurs, offensive ethnic stereotypes, Nazi imagery, offensive religious imagery)--Charles Solomon

(Harvey Toons Complete Collection)
『These are not the original cartoons. It would be fine for kids under 6. The discs, however are double sided, and I think they would scratch easily.
If you are a geek like me and wanted the cartoons... what this appears to me is a Saturday Morning Cartoons show that just used the old harvey cartoons. The original credits are cut, and worse the cartoons are cut up.
There are no menus as well.
Avoid this set till a better one rolls along.』

(52x4=208 Harveytoons)
『I have never seen or heard of most of The Harvetoons except for Casper before. Some of them I already own and saw from the 2 less popular 150 Cartoon Classics distributed by Millcreek,(but are complete with the full musical themes),I bought about two years ago. Harveytoon series is more rewarding and considering how old they are... I guess Sony Wonders salvaged what they could. The quality of the dvds themselves are outstandingly brilliant. Very impressed! What a nice surprise - worth having despite any shortcomings.
The DVDs are organized like this: Each track is grouped in a 4 cartoon composite or Episode 1ABCD 2ABCD 3ABCD 4ABCD etc. 52 tracks equals a total of 208 cartoon shorts on 4 double-sided and color-coded discs. I wondered how can 312 cartoons fit onto 4 dvds nicely? They Can't. Something had to be sacrificed. The first four seasons, without a menu is what you get and no special features; however, a menu list is provided by a The Harveytoon Wikipedia Website outline and correspond with the episode disc order. This should make things easier. As the label on the back says "19 Hours" is far from a dissapointment for me. I hope Sony Wonders is not finnished. With any luck Seasons 5 and 6 will be released some time soon. Then it will be complete(so to speak). Removing the discs from the book is risky, be careful not to break them in half. Anyway the Harveytoons are Wonderful!
』

(Get Your Menu Here)
『By far, the biggest drawback to this set is the lack of useful menus, along with the fact that there is no included list of the cartoon shorts found on each of the 8 blank sides of the discs included in the set. This information can be found on the web, but it is awkward to refer to with every viewing. I have created an easily downloadable file which, when printed and carefully trimmed, will fit neatly within this set. Add my small booklet, and this collection that many would rate as only 2 or 3 stars becomes 4.5 or 5! I took the time to format the page, so all you need to do is log in, download it and print it out. It is my gift to all who love classic animation.

Go to www.wimpy.biz/harveytoons to download the file, and add it to your set. If you are contemplating buying the set and its lack of content description is making you think twice, by all means go ahead and buy it, then print the menu out when you receive it. I believe you will find it to be an invaluable addition to an otherwise frustrating package. You won't be disappointed.

』

(What More Could You Ask For?)
『This DVD of Harvey Cartoons is fantastic! It seems it contains all or at least many of the episodes of the Harvey cartoons that were shown on TV in the 60s. Each episode was a 1/2 hour's worth of the marvelous cartoons made by Harvey in the 50s and early 60s, maybe even the 40s. Each cartoon is clear as a bell and feature Casper the Ghost, Baby Huey, Little Audrey, Herman and Katnip and other cartoons, some of which I had never seen before, and I am a big Havery cartoon fan. It contains four discs, each of which contains cartoons on both sides of the disc. I think this DVD collection is a great bargain and I am very happy I purchased it.』

(WONDERFUL TO HAVE, BUT.....HALF BAKED)
『I grew up with Harveytoons. I've just turned 50 myself and remember many a childhood day was spent with these good friends on my TV. I've not seen 97% of them in color, as we had b&w television until 1972. By then, they were gone or very hard to find, and I was in high school.

However, I am so glad to have many great memories come back, especially a couple of my all-time favorites, La Petite Parade (Episode 40 on Disc 4, Side 1) and Out Of This Whirl (Episode 1 on Disc 1, Side 1). Revisiting with Casper, Little Audrey, Herman&Katnip, Buzzy, Baby Huey and some I forgotten were a big treat.

My one regret is no bonus features, editing down most of the the opening themes to these cartoons, no complete Screen Song cartoons (only pieces tagged on to a 3-cartoon show). A major bonus feature could have been the complete Casper, Little Audrey and Herman&Katnip themes, even if just the audio portion, as these Harveytoon Shows are creations from 1998. All the credits are at the end vs. being with each short created digitally for the packaging. I find the theme used for this new packaging a bit annoying compared to the original music from the cartoons.
Depeinding on how many cartoons of each series, would have been better to have a Casper disc, an Audrey disc, a Herman&Katnip disc, etc. The Screen Songs and other miscellaneous could have been the final disc. When they created these Harveytoon shows, it appears each has a theme of some kind. One of the shows has all Boy Scout related cartoons, one has a Space theme, one Christmas, one Thanksgiving, etc. It would have been better to present the cartoons as originally presented in full in order of release, be it made for the theatre or made for TV.

I am grateful that for what is presented, the color, picture and sound quality is excellent. Some other public domain copies of some of these cartoons are horrible. This is the major saving grace.

If you want to see these cartoons again, this is the only way. I only wish it was a little bit better.』
『Finally! The complete series of Harveytoons is available for the first time on DVD!

(classic yet new at the same time!)
『Once I watched the first episode I got hooked. The series tends to avoid some of the conventions of the real robot genre by making the protaganist a girl, no accidental pilots, whiney teenagers, or enemy of the week. The story is dark and the characters are well rounded. Highly recommended!』

(A Good Sci-Fi Anime But Don't Expect Any Deep Story-Line To Go With It)
『If you're a fan of series like Kiddy Grade or Simoun here's another decent but somewhat bland series to go with those, the series follows personal story-arcs like what most anime fans would expect. You have a young female pilot who idolizes her older brother another experienced mech pilot who she hopes to join up and fight with one day, but through a personal calamity her brother turns his back on the people and government he pledged his loyalty to and now intends to destroy that which he once protected going so far as killing his own friends and family.Now the younger sister ventures out into space to find out the reason for her brother's betrayal as well as having to keep her true identity a secret since her brother is of course known throughout the galaxy as being a traitor to his people. The series will have the usual main female character being stoic to her fellow crew members for fear of them finding out her true identity as well as the fear of gaining friends only to loose them again, The series luckily while having some fan-service but not to much and a touch of romance(Both with a male and a stalker female crew member) but again nothing to r-rated for anyone to truly worry about. The series is a little short and the story somewhat confusing as you'll seem more interested in what happens to the brother/sister story-line of the series than anything else, though the series gives a somewhat decent ending it still leaves a lot unanswered as well so it's a little mixed bag of acceptance and annoyance at the end of the series. The animation is very well done and the voice cast as expected from Funimation is great as both the Japanese/English cast did their roles extremely well, the extras are a little so so as you'll get the standard textless intro/ending songs, some commentaries, and of course trailers. So if you like sci-fi mecha anime series here's one to check out but don't expect it to be anything like Gundam Wing or Gundam Seed...』

(Not worth the time)
『I read the reviews on this site and based off of those reviews I bought the series. The series itself has mahor flaws in ir. these include a boring and extremely cold main character, for which you never really warm up to, a lack luster and out right boring plot and less than steller combat scenes as well patheric enemies. The one good part was that the voiceacting was spot on and the other characters were thankfully far more interesting.』

(Underrated Mecha Series)
『Str.A.In., which is an acronym for Strategic Armored Infantry, is one of those rare titles that manages to grab a firm hold of the viewer's attention by indulging in an action-loaded, rip roaring pace from the first episode right on through the thirteenth (and final) episode. It is marketed to appeal to mecha fans and indeed; it will deliver in spades to those looking for a self-contained saga on par with some of the Gundam franchise entries. For everyone else, there is enough of a story within the lightening-fast pace to warrant serious consideration.

Released across 4 discs, Funimation brings the Studio Fantasia property to North American viewers via a pair of thin packs within a lovely cardboard slipcase. The show's total runtime comes in at 300 minutes even with episodes 1-7 contained on the first disc and 8-13 on the second. There are extras in the form of textless songs, English voice commentary over the sixth episode, and a crop of Funimation trailers.

The show wears an appropriate TV Ma (17+) rating due to some violent themes, occasional topless female nudity, and a bit of gore and rough language. Speaking of language, Strain comes in typical sub and dub options: Original Japanese dialog and/or English dub in 5.1 Surround with English subtitles available in either.

The story centers on a young woman by the name of Sara Werec (who happens to be quite reminiscent of Dana Sterling from Robotech Masters fame). Our friend Sara, like her older brother Ralph, is a Reasoner; basically an elite pilot who patrols in one of the military's most advanced weapons: the insect-like robotic units called Strains.

Strains require a very unique interface to operate that is based on the merging of amniotic fluid and computer technology called a Mimic. It is explained early on that should a pilot's Mimic be destroyed, their ability to operate a Strain is eliminated as well.

The beginning portion of the show sets up Sara's almost incestual obsession with her older brother Ralph and how this obsession has ultimately led to her decision to follow in his footsteps by joining the Union military.

It turns out that there is a massive interstellar war being raged between human factions. Our protagonists fight on the side of the Union against a slightly more mysterious group known as the Deague (pronounced "Deeg").

The story really heats up once older brother Ralph begins leading a series of assaults against the Union by targeting training facilities. What ensues is sibling rivalry on the grandest scale.

What the show's entire structure boils down to is balance- Balance between hard-core science fiction (the likes of which would fit right in with a Star Trek motion picture or Gundam series for that matter) with bouncing breasts and panty flashes. Balance between hardened warring factions and juvenile lesbian encounters. Balance between richly drawn character models and computer generated space battles. For the most part, the formula works. About the biggest flaw in the whole structure comes in the form of a lead character who takes entirely too long to warm up to. Granted she does endure a succession of heartbreaks, heartaches, and just general misery but the viewer more than pays the price. Things do eventually improve on this front so long as you're willing to endure several episodes of drone-like behavior with supporting cast bending over backward to express their love or hatred of the lead character.

I should note that Studio Fantasia deserves credit for bringing a pretty cool visual style to the mecha element (a genre that must surely feel as if it's all been done before when developing). The Strains not only look like giant mechanized insects (something between a bee and a lady bug in flight), they also move like them as well. Much of the combat sequences take place at the speed in which the units actually move (meaning close-ups with blurred backgrounds), we are treated to occasional angles of the Strains duking it out from a distance. They zip, zing, and zoom around each other like a pair of hungry hummingbirds. Suddenly the importance of an interface like the Mimic becomes clear.

Without a doubt the show's greatest strength lies within its pacing. I can go as far as to say that Strain contains the most explosive first episode that this author has yet to encounter. By the time the credits fade to black, you'll be left catching your breath while thinking, was all that really just the first episode? The pacing slows a bit in subsequent episodes but considering that it has only 13 episodes with which to tell its tale, there are few, if any, dragged out moments. The action-laden pace is quite consistent as well with the only exception coming in the form of the seventh episode where a contrived attempt at humor puts the focus on an obsessed lesbian's attempt to win Sara's affection.

Otherwise the show maintains a nice scientific approach to space travel, galactic distances, alien cultures, and so on. Politics are always in the foreground, which makes the battle scenes feel much more provoked and quintessential to survival.

Both language options are quite solid and in fact the dub really goes the distance to retain the original script. The English cast reads like a who's who in terms of Funimation's vocal talent and the actress commentary over the sixth episode will convince even lottery winners that they're missing out on the best job in the world.

In all Strain is an entertaining mecha entry that will satisfy fans of the genre with a solid mixture of classical elements coupled to the animation benefits of computer technology. Kudos to Funimation for snagging this underrated property and brining it to the American masses that, like yours truly, can never have too much mecha.』

(couldnt stop watching)
『I dowloaded the first episode of xbox live to cheak it out and ended up doladed all 13 and watching them all in 1 day. now i wish i had brought the dvd instead since ive already deleted them to open up my hard drive.

The charatures and story are very good. The animation top notch. It starts out looking like its gonna be an fun animia like kiddy grade but then turns more dark and serious by the end of the first episode. The second episode starts and everyitng has changed for the main char. She has had every thing stolen from her from somone close to her. friends, status, admiration, love, faith, and her dream of being a elite pilot all lost, only the drive to catch up and find out why pushing her on as a lowly infantry mech grunt.

dont want to say to much but i stayed up to 8am to watch the last episode so defintly can recomend this to anyone who injoyes good scifi animia』
『The horrors of war spare no one....

In a time of war, Sara Werec yearns to follow her brother Ralph into the stars and take up the Union cause in their endless fight against the Deague. Ralph is a legend among the ace pilots known as Reasoners– warriors who bravely steer their advanced mech units headfirst into combat.

Sara’s hopes are soon to be fulfilled, but the horrors of war spare no one. On the eve of Academy graduation, Sara loses everything when Ralph commands a Deague assault force in a surprise attack against the school. Amid the smoking rubble of her dreams, Sara Werec boldly undertakes a new mission: Confront Ralph to reveal the motives behind his betrayal and put an end to his treasonous ways by any means necessary.

So I bought it. Amazon gave me a great deal (way cheaper than Frys by about $40)! Now I watch it all the time!』 (Superior, but cavity inducing!) 『I bought my first Pioneer (Geneon) product back when Pioneer laser discs were nearly the only way to find anime translated into English. Tenchi Muyo was the anime that had me hooked. I was saddened but not surprised when Geneon left the US market, because none of its later offerings, including later Tenchi series, were as good a Pioneer's first offering. I was very pleased to discover Kamichu as one of Geneon's final offerings, and this turned out to be the best anime series the company ever offered. No fights. No giant robots. No sex. No gore. No whacky space aliens. Just three Japanese junior high girls who try to cope when one of them announces that she, inexplicably, has become a god in the Shinto sense. This is a very sweet story, so sweet it may induce cavities or a diabetic coma. The animation is among the best cell animation I have ever seen, with no shortcuts taken, and no mismatching computer animation jammed in here and there. The voice acting, on both the Japanese and English tracks are among the best i have ever heard, and is age appropriate to the characters. If you want family-friendly anime, or a anime series to introduce your lady friend to your anime hobby, this may be the series for you.

Yurie's school life is complicated by her two girlfriends attempts to benefit from her new godly status, and Yurie's tentative romantic pursuit of a clueless male classmate whose first love is calligraphy. A very sweet and original anime, highly recommended for those tired of mechas, swordfights, and ecchi stuff. Herb the Librarian 』 (Annie Z.) 『If you are a fan of Miyazaki's work you will love this anime. I found it hard to believe it wasn't a work of Miyazaki. It is beautifuly animated, with charming characters and music.』 『It's not easy being a goddess....seriously. Yurie is just an ordinary middle school girl in the 1980 s, until overnight she finds out that she is a Kami, or God in the Shinto sense. When Yurie announces this fact to her best friend Mitsue, their classmate Mitsuri takes advantage of Yurie s new divinity to revitalize her family s dying shrine. Yurie is nicknamed Kamichu and now must go on with her godly duties while going to school and winning the heart of her crush, Kenji; while Mitsuri tries to replace her old shrine god Yashima with her.』
