Summary:

Following the first season, Black Lagoon, the story of Okajima Rokuro (or more commonly known as “Rock”) continues as he travels with the band of mercenaries known as the Lagoon Company.

Review:

It’s three to four episode story arcs, because of this it can kind of be hit or miss to the quality of the arc.  Animation qualities are maintained all the way through but it’s the specific enemies they encounter.

The production values are very high on this anime, it looks and feels new.  In many ways this season seemed better than the first season.  Every story arc in this season was fantastic, unlike the last arc of Black Lagoon.  For example, in this second season they’re trapped in a dock and they’re battling another group of mercenaries while the building is on fire and a dude is running around with a chainsaw.  Intense much? It’s great!

There’s a good amount of violence in this series but if that doesn’t turn you off this I recommend it for a lot.
