Yikes... I'm running out of favorite anime to review! But I can't worry about that, because Black Lagoon was calling to me, saying in a loud voice, "Review me!" And I cannot ignore the call of a classic, one of my favorite anime of all time. Still, of my, let's say, top 30, I've got maybe five or six left to do? I might have to begin intentionally reviewing bad anime just to distance myself from the rest, as painful as that'd be. Not to mention, this anime also has one of my favorite English dubs, and I'm pretty sure I'm all out of those to cover after this. But more on the dub another time.
I talked a bit about the difference between nihilism and cynicism in this video, and while it was hardly an educational treatise, was kind of the angle I was taking going into this. I ended up talking more about Revy's relationship with Rock, though, so you'll just have to enjoy that instead of the philosophical underpinnings.
No bookend/storyline material this time, but I've got stuff cooking in my brain.
