Oh man, episode 4 has to be the best episode so far in this OVA mini-series. Heck, even the art quality seems to have improved.
Not only do we have Roberta being the beautiful badass that she is, but Balalaika is still her hardcore, good ol' self. To this day, I still worship the ground she walks on. This episode only serves to remind me why. Spoiler for episode 4:

I just want to point out that Rock is the audience's self-insert character. That's why Rock has skills that could be found in real life salarymen. It's all about the fantasy of "I could quit my dead end job, go to a town filled with criminals, and make a name for myself using what I know I am good at."
I doubt Rock has any special past. The intention is for him to be a "what-if", a fantasy escape for the middle-age men dreaming of freedom. So the more ordinary his background, the better for that purpose.

Hmmm seems like another delay slipped by unnoticed. The final volume was originally due in May, but now won't be released until 22nd June 2011. Lulz.

im..pretty sure he didnt calculate revy getting shot - he did after all ask her earlier on to play an integral role in the entire thing
in terms of rock's development, its a downward spiral. as he gets more successful in the "dark realm," he loses more and more of his soul. He really is quite possibly the next "Chang" in the making, except possibly worse. i thought the revy/fabiola conversation at the end was impeccable. the dialogue was perfect and everything fabiola said cut straight through revy like a razor. it was the 100% sharp honest truth...revy is delusional, but i can completely understand why that is. it all ties back to episode 7 of season 1, when rock grabbed his balls and earned revy's respect. he earned the respect, but slowly started a process of losing his soul it just became more apparent in the OVA series... i dont know how things will end, not reading the manga to find out, but i hardly see a happy ending for rock/revy! |

No, and that's one of the reasons that I love her. I bet she could kick the ass of Android 18 even. lol Though, I do hope that Gracia can save her from her own darkness.
Roberta was recently ranked today on AnimeVice.com as one of the strongest women in anime: Anime Vice: The Strongest Women of Anime FUNimation talked about releasing Blood Trail in the U.S. this year, but I'm not sure how that delay effects those plays. What pisses me off is that I can't find the DVDs for the first two seasons on any regular online retailer. How is it that they plan to release Blood Trail but no reproducing more of the first two seasons?
