Black Lagoon's reception and reviews would raise tremendously if the producers had the wisdom to animate the brilliant omakes (including the gender swap and latter Gangster Manzai) and include them in the dvd.

Oh, changed my black lagoon sig if anyone noticed; Rock's melancholy starting to get me down so I switched for some FSN crack parody.

In my experiance, in this kind of complicated open-scenarios many times even authors don't know the "truth".

At end of each manga volumes, there's a funny what-if comedy skit manga.
This is one of them. (from tankobon volume 4)
Rock wakes up in the morning to find himself turned into a large-breasted girl.
He runs for help to each of the characters, only to find out he's thrown into a world of opposite sex.

Basically, it's like the Pinkwood episode in Here is Greenwood, if you are familiar with that classic shoujo manga series.

Episode 15 was brilliant! Major emotional impact there along with lots of blood and violence served in loli and shota packages.

Now post lots of fan art of the twins. Please.

This is the best I could do. Series like Bleach, Fruits Basket, FMA, Noein, Blood+, and Ouran have fansite search engines that lets one search by couples, characters, genres, orientations, and content, I haven't found one such engine for BL.

The images are just small enough, so I won't put them in thumbnails.

Spoiler for C'mon, Japanese fanart community, get it together!:

Oh gosh! This just made my day. Nothing is different about Rock other than the significant swelling in the upper torso region, but the manly Brararaika.... I'm at loss for word! What a stud! Very very lovely!

I also realize that if episode 16 was subbed, (not that anyone is subbing it since it is anything but licensed) Jane's dialogue after her "rescue" would have irked the translator and the typesetter big time, especially the typesetter. She was spitting words at a very high level of WPM (word's per minute) for 30 seconds or so before Revy and Eda had enough of it.

I just hope when it gets subbed, be it when it hits the US DVD shelves by Geneon, they get that offensive yet hilarious line Eda says right.

These aren't fanarts, these are all actually drawn by the creator Hiroe himself
None of these are in the tankobon of the manga, so they are pretty rare.

Top two: continuation of the extra-manga where Bararaika is the twin's mother.
The twins are going "I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT" in a store, and mom's getting mighty irritated

She's gonna tell their daddy Chan to scold them when they get home.
Oh, and the neighborhood highschool couple Rock and Revi are around too.
It was originally used for Sunday GX calendar illustration.

Bottom left: artwork that used to be on Hiroe's homepage.
Bottom right: In the original magazine serialization, Eda was held up by the twin with a gag-ball in her mouth.
Unfortunately, they took that out in the tankobon manga, so this is a rare footage

Those inhuman bastards!

They cut out a hot scene like that?!

Chastushka · 2006-10-27, 06:14

Oh well... I've never seen that Eda scene, Is it in Sunday GX?

Few days ago I saw a different of one Revy scene between Sunday GX version and Vol.5 manga version, But I didn't kept it.

I'll post that one once the anime gets to that point.

I have one that compares the original Sunday GX version, tankobon version... and a little fun version

Majek · 2006-10-27, 08:36

What kind of closure are you after?

It's not like the Lagoon company is looking for a treasure or trying to kill someone; you can't have closure when there was no goals to begin with. This is a "slice-of-life" anime, except with exaggerated Hollywood-grade criminals as main characters. There is no lose-ends to tie up anywhere, so there is no closure to be had.

Cal-Reflector · 2006-10-30, 01:42

I have the feeling the Black Lagoon crowd is probably not the fic writing/reading sort, but nontheless have applied for the category to be added on fanfiction.net. Sample fic submitted with Application? "From Russia With Love." In which Rock wakes up hungover and in bed with Balalaika; bad things happen to him, sort of. Inspired by the BL parodies at the end of the mangas, which I think are more brilliant than most of the original's content.

I can only hope that the fic will be persuasive enough for the ff.net mods to approve the app.

Next up, if my sanity lasts until then, would be "A Boy's First Love." In which the remaining twin, call her Gretel for now, does escape and end up at the Loveless household; it'll be a angst-filled romantic comedy. Was gonna call it "My Girl," but that's just too confusing.

Nightengale · 2006-10-30, 01:49

I'm in the process of writing my own BL fanfiction, though I don't think I'll post it until the 2nd season is done. It's entitled "Rock & Roll" which is about Rock's life after leaving Lagoon Company some time down the road.
