Synopsis of Black Lagoon

Rock Okajima is a Japanese executive, 25 years old, who works for Asahi Industries in Tokyo in the mid-1990s. During a business trip, he falls into the hands of the Lagoon Company, a crew of pirate mercenaries who operate from a PT-style speedboat called Black Lagoon and smuggle goods across Southeast Asia. The story takes place in Roanapur, a fictional Thai port city that serves as a refuge for criminals of all kinds. Among the group's members are Revy, a young Chinese-American gunfighter with a tough personality, Dutch, the gang's leader, and Benny, a computer specialist. Rock must adapt to a criminal world while trying to understand what remains of his former life. The series, directed and written by Sunao Katabuchi based on the manga by Rei Hiroe, aired on Chiba TV.

Trivia about Black Lagoon

One of Katabuchi's favorite scenes was Roberta's fight with an umbrella, which the team nicknamed "The Evil Mary Poppins."
The animation team studied firearms by handling real pistols without firing them, in order to understand their weight and feel.
The opening theme is "Red Fraction" by Mell, and the closing theme of the first episodes is "Don't Look Behind" by Edison.
After The Second Barrage, Katabuchi wanted to produce more episodes, but the long research and development period the series required prevented an immediate sequel.
The series aired on Adult Swim's Toonami block between March 23 and September 7, 2014.
The anime adaptation returned with the five-episode OVA "Roberta's Blood Trail," released between 2010 and 2011, after the two TV seasons of 2006.
Series creator Rei Hiroe recently said that a return of the anime would depend on whether manga and merchandise sales could convince potential backers, although there is no official confirmation of a new production.
The franchise includes two manga spin-offs, "Sōjiya Sawyer" and "Eda: Initial Stage," both set in the BLACK LAGOON universe.
