I just watched about 1/2 of Black Lagoon, since yet again I've been fooled into buying the "complete series" of an anime that wasn't the complete series. -_- Though when I look it up everything said Black Lagoon's first season was only 12 episodes long. Yet I get to the 12th episode and after it ends there's a preview of the next episode. D: God dammit, why the hell do they market this crap as "Complete Series" when it's not. That is false advertisement and it pisses me the hell off.
On the upside, I absolutely love this series.. at least what I've seen of it so far. Revy is one mean, hot bitch. The rest of the characters, Dutch, Benny and Rock all have fitting personalities. And to be honest I'd love to see Rock crack Revy open and take advantage of her, so to speak.
I also stumbled across an anime called Ikki Tousen (aka. Dragon Destiny?). It's a fighting anime with more fan service than I've seen in any anime ever. There are even a few sexual scenes that borderline on softcore hentia, and even an episode or two where full on cleavage is shown in all of its animated glory. It's definitely a very funny anime though, but there's tons of seriousness and a little drama thrown in too. The english voice acting for the dub isn't the best in the world, but it's bearable and from what I can tell they seem to have stuck to the original writing fairly well, so that's nice. What I also find interesting is how it uses Japanese history as an underlying theme behind the whole thing. All of the characters share the same name as some Japanese historical figure from around the same era of the 3 kingdoms. It's very addicting to watch, even if the fan service goes way overboard to the point it's ridiculous at times. But hey, I'm a guy, so that's not really a complaint. I just find it humorous.
Epic win.
