Black Lagoon AMV - Black Betty

Old Black Lagoon AMV I did back in 2007 for a reason I can't remember now. Found it on an old hard drive and thought it would be cool to show off.
Song is Black Betty by Spiderbait.

[@sethraelthebard5459]

I always loved this episode. The tongue-in-cheek references to Roberta being a Terminator always made me laugh while I was cheering.

No, Roberta is the best and Strong

[@johnsmith-vn9cs]

That last duel is BS and the only real reason Revy didn't get casually rolled-over is because we can't have that happen to the "protagonist". As much as revy is an impressive character, Roberta... if you consider the feats she achieves in her OAV and couple of main series episodes, it's clear she's MUCH higher, and in a class of her own.

[@jesussuburbia8986]

+william lydon Don't bother unless it's as background noise. The manga was fun and enjoyable(extremely over-the-top, but in a good way), but the anime was heavily toned down in a story that has no business being turned down. The anime is over-the-top, but in a way that gives you a headache. For example you get things like a guy smoking weed, and having a reaction that looks like he mixed angel dust and acid. Bottom line, read the manga, and watch the amv's, because at least the action scenes themselves are worth watching. Sorry for the rant, but I haven't outright dropped an anime in a long time, especially one in which I liked the manga. The producers should've been hanged.

[@thesun5275]

+Jesus Suburbia Damn this is one of the most controversial view I've ever seen... I don't agree with you at all but I'll let be because it's your opinion. Check the anime out it's actually pretty badass.

[@katherinesanderson8990]

I'm confused, are you saying it's automatically bad because a Japanese guy voices an American character in a show that's in Japanese? Should I then be upset that a Canadian guy voices the Japanese main character in the dub?

Ramiel That title belongs to Balalaika.

[@lovepeace9727]

I mean, Roberta (especially in OVA) is a fucking death machine-monster that was: Eating drugs like popcorn, taking ~10 bullets and continuing to fight, hunting special forces team with a flintlock rifle, using her teeth to destroy a Kukri-sword and etc. She literally took down half of the city and killed huge amount of professional mercenaries. She was unstoppable. I highly doubt that Balalaika is able to do the same things. She's scary and powerful too, but on another level.

[@hotlinechernobyl5157]

@@Unknownuser-zg4cy look, Balalaika could start and end WWIII with no more than 300 solders (best guess as to how many soldiers Hotel Moscow has). But she couldn't do half of what Revy and Roberta can in a out-and-out fight. Which is more terrifying depends on whether or not you are currently within a 10-mile radius of one of those fights

[@Unknownuser-zg4cy]

@@hotlinechernobyl5157 I agree about battle skills but we dont see Balaika fight, but we know she was a Russian special force soldier something was not easy to achieve and thus she was a captain which cannot obtain easily via just influence but has a skill to fight, maybe she just opted to step back because her specialty was strategy hence why I say she was the scariest women there.

The most badass part? After doing all that stuff (blowing up the Yellow Flag; punching out the window of a Merc, then driving it like she really stole it; chasing down a Charger on foot and tearing it up), she and Revy beat the living shit out of each other for hours until the sun rose.

[@2011seniortiger]

I thought it was a fairly realistic representation of pragmatic gunfights. Minus the unreloadable revolver and this particular fight, when she doesn't fly off the handle, Rebi uses some pretty cool tactics to take out her enemies. It's nowhere close to greatest anime ever but as far as modern realistic-style animes, it's pretty good.
