Product description Black Lagoon R(Br+Dv) .com The five-part OVA Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail (2010) picks up where the last TV series--Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage--left off. Roberta, a maid who suggests the Terminator in long braids, goes on a rampage to avenge the death of Lovelace, her former employer. His assassination somehow involved the CIA, the NSA, Asian and South American drug cartels, and, although the Lovelace family is supposed to be from Venezuela, the Colombian revolutionary group FARC. Flying bullets, knives, explosives, blood, and four-letter words take up so much screen time, there's little left for character development or a coherent narrative. Naturally, the combined forces of the CIA, NSA, and US military don't stand a chance against a pill-popping maid who packs more heat than the North Korean army (including an 18th-century flintlock). Fortunately the mercenary/pirate quartet of Black Lagoon is on the scene. The fragmentary story line includes a nasty anti-American tone: a Cuban military officer comments, "Some American heads would make nice souvenirs." But there's plenty of material to offend pretty much anyone, including a chain-smoking nun, a heroin addict, and a Chinese assassin who speaks a brand of pidgin English that would embarrass Charlie Chan. Leading the charge is potty-mouthed Revy, who calls a dying Hispanic soldier "beaner" before shooting him in cold blood. Black Lagoon isn't the most violent series in the history of anime, but its gleefully sadistic tone makes the nonstop slaughter more repugnant. The endless string of blood and profanity would probably earn Roberta's Blood Trail an X rating if it were released theatrically. (Rated TV MA; more appropriate for viewers over 18: graphic violence, violence against women, extensive profanity, grotesque imagery, torture, alcohol, drug and tobacco use, racial slurs, offensive ethnic stereotypes, offensive religious imagery, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon (25.

blood, gore, swearing.... what else do you want
Robertas blood trail is a 5 episode OVA, do not buy this if you have not seen the main show, as you may not understand the backstory of some of the characters, so please purchase seasons 1 and 2, and after watching/grasping an understanding of the main story buy and watch this.Robertas blood trail comes in both blu ray and dvd format, dvd format works in australia on most dvd players, but the blu ray disc will need a american dvd player with the correct region code, so region code 1.you can use a region code 4 dvd player, but it may give you the ability to change the region code to 1, but be weary as some have a limit on how many times you are able to change the code "usually its 5"But there is no problem if you live in america as you dont have to change anything.... obviously lolother than that, i had no problem viewing the movie/episodes. the blu ray was more crisp and had better resolution than the dvd counterpart. it is a must have for all anime/black lagoon fans.10/10 for the anime, great story, the voice acting was done spot on, i generally prefer dubbed anime over subbed as it allows for greater voice acting flexibility, such as columbian, spanish, british, russian, american accents. one of the best english dubbed anime's out there. The bluray/dvd gives the option to view the anime in subbed "so Japanese voice dubbing with english subtitles" so if you prefer subbed it can quench your thirst too..overall its a great anime, i found no negatives about the movie.but thats my opinion, took around 1 week to ship to australia, so i received it quickly, and the packaging was done greatly. there was no damage or scratches on the case.A must have, get it now while its hot... and im not talking about revy.

Finally More "LAGOON"
Finally, after four years of waiting, Universal/Geneon has released the third season of "Black Lagoon" called "Roberta's Blood Trail". The psycho soldier turned maid has returned to create more havoc and spill a very large volume of blood. "Lagoon" fans will remember 'Roberta' from her murderous rampage in the first season. Those of you who have never seen "Black Lagoon" should go and buy season one (Black Lagoon) and season two (Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage) to get the complete back story of the Black Lagoon crew and Roberta's first psychotic attack on the rat-hole city of Roanpour. Her first visit was bloody, but this time it's a massacre.Without going too far into thls season to spoil it for you, she is on a rampage against the CIA/NSA for killing her employer Mr. Martinez, who saved her life when she needed it and she became his maid in return. Naturally she seeks revenge for his murder andto protect his only son. The blood flows in buckets and the Lagoon crew find themselves involved in her revenge,as the CIA/NSA soldiers have hidden themselves in Roanpour. And 'Rock' has to come up with a plan to save everyone involved.The animation is first class and this season doesn't disappoint. It's just as good as the first two seasons (still available) so you really should buy these to help you become involved in this whole sordid, bloody affair. Available either in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack or Blu-Ray only. (I have noticed that almost all the new anime being released is as a combo pack, with some exceptions.)You will enjoy this season as you will the first two. The price is very reasonable through Amazon.com (in fact it's the lowest price I've seen). There are a few extras on the DVD, but more on the Blu-Ray. If you enjoy great anime, you will love the entire three seasons of BLACK LAGOON and Amazon.com has them all. Don't miss this.
