I took a dive into anime about 2 years ago watching shows like initial D , Castlevania , Ghost in the shell, etc. However what I realized is I wanted something grounded with gritty action and a story not scared to show how dark the world can be. That's exactly what you get with Black Lagoon a show that shows how an action anime should not only be modeled after but: paced , storytelling, as well as character development. It's a mature story not for kids and people that think to much violence in a show is a bad thing. If your a fan of the old Tarantino films, Goodfellas, and 90s action movies, you will be right at home.
The negatives about the show is that some of the old animation can look dated at times but, keep in mind it came out in 2006. Some fan service here and there can throw some people off but it's not a lot to disrupt the experience at all.
Overall Black Lagoon isn't just a great anime it's a great SHOW period. It's one of those shows for me that I will rewatch and remember for a very long time. The Dub is excellently voice casted and performed as well. So please don't just do me the favor and watch this show do yourself the favor and watch one of the most underrated classics in anime. Here's to hoping Madhouse makes a season 4 !
