Black Lagoon (TV) Good

There's a great show here trying to emerge from the script's too frequent resort to bravado instead of wit, easy violence and corny stunts instead of dramatic conflict, and caricatures (with some exceptions) instead of interesting characters. There are moments when Black Lagoon becomes so much more, such as episode 7 when the redoubtable Balalaika comments while tape recording pornography, "I want to die" (so apt, yet so unexpected), or the extraordinary confrontation between Rock and Revy later that same episode. If only there were more of this quality drama, this would be an anime to truly savour. As it stands it remains a stylish, competent action series.
Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail (OAV) Good

Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage (TV) Decent

In This Corner of the World (movie) Masterpiece

Mai Mai Miracle (movie) Very good

Princess Arete (movie) Very good
