Black Lagoon

With terrific gorgeous animation from Madhouse, an excellent array of music (especially the opening), a tone that balances being over the top and fun, with intensity and violence. This series hooked me immediately and I binged it all in one day. The central best piece of entertainment, aside from the action, comes from the fun banter between characters especially the two most focused on throughout the series Rock and Revy. I could watch those two just sit and talk for hours, which is much of what the show is, and it entertained me every time. I recommend this to anyone and everyone who wants to have an adrenaline filled fun time, even if you're not an anime fan. But for someone like me who is, it was a treat.
