oh well, it seems my Black Lagoon anime thread goes out of existence due to the last forum offline.
Anyway if this anime can do well in following the manga faithfully, it may turn out to be the best gangster gun fight action anime ever, and maybe one of the most controversial too, it portrays drug abuse, corrupt cops, hired killers, pirates and crime syndicates in cruel and realistic but non-negative ways. Also the John Woo-style gunfights are simply the best, the author is clearly a Hong Kong gangster movie fan
