Black Lagoon (Season 1)

"Black Lagoon" is a 12 Episode long anime that takes place in the seas of Southeast Asia.  A Japanese business man find himself taken hostage by pirates and ends up joining there crew in a twist of fate.  "Black Lagoon" follows these pirates as they work as a delivery company for various mafia groups.

"Black Lagoon" is one anime that just don't present itself the way it is described, it is an anime that involves a delivery company that by the feel of the show works more like a mercenary group from time to time.  When the word mafia is mentioned that is just an understatement, this entire show follows an ordinary mans journey into the world of crime and violence, while at the same time struggling to figure out just what kind of man he is.  "Black Lagoon" has none stop action that will just leave the viewer on the edge of there seat begging for more, and every episode is anything but boring.  The characters all have very likable and deep personalities that make the show hilarious and bad ass at the same time.  The different story arcs the show takes keeps testing the main characters personality an adaptation in his new environment, constantly making him wonder were he stand.  In all an amazing anime series that will leave the viewer begging for more.  

Good:
-Amazing characters that make the show funny and bad ass all at once
-Great action and adventure, never a dull moment
-A deeper psychological conflict that keeps going through out the show for the main character
-A large amount of laughs and jaw dropping moments
-Rare to find an anime with a great opening and ending theme songs
-This is only season 1 so the greatness is just not over yet

Bad:
-Nothing
