Babe with guns, violence, foul language and enough smoking to get you lounge-cancer just by watching.. Nazis were basically that little extra that makes it perfect

Did no one notice the plot hole? You know, the fact that the people on the sub died when they ran out of air? The stuff Revy and Rock breathed while having long and deep conversations in?

Otherwise good. Wannabe nazis are always hilarous.

I wish I could be as excited about this anime as the rest of you. I'm not sure why, it's missing something and not grabbing me. I do agree Revy is a cool character though.

Ok so I'm actually starting to like the ending

It was a good episode, but we didn't get the usual action, which we'll get next episode

The part where Revy schools Rock on why stealing is OK was the part that won the episode. Paraphrasing: "Emotions are as vapid as the wind, and once you remove them, all that's left is nothing but power, and money. Power gets you everywhere. And if you make me tell you another story like that, you're out of Lagoon and I'll kill you".

Also, when the neonazis start crying XDDD

I actually liked the part where the U-boat captain told the SS soldier it was probably better to die there than to have his family have to salute the nazi flag again.

They're just like zombies. You just gotta have some around to shoot.
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

Was it just me or was it really hard to tell who was German and Japanese? It made it difficult to understand for me. Maybe it would have made more sense in dub.

I'm generally tired of seeing Nazis in any and everything at this point. The only things more overused are zombies. Oh lord, please don't let them turn into Nazi zombies. But this episode for the most part handled the Nazi thing tastefully. The captain of that doomed sub was a better guy than I originally gave him credit for. Now then, how will Uber Nazis part 2 play out? Hopefully with lots of underwater Revy violence.

Ha ha. The guys who did Black Lagoon are definitely paying a little homage to Das Boot.

Nazis make excellent villains. Well done Black Lagoon.

As far as I could see, there was one japanese Guy in the 1945 storyline, and Rock in the current Storyline, so... not really that confusing.
Not to mention that it didn't really matter that there was a japanese Guy on the U-Boat, he was just a plot device to get that U-Boat in the vicinity of the Black Lagoon company, aka the South East Chinese Sea (or wherever it is, that they do their business).

Otherwise my favorite episode so far, felt a little like an adventure and less than a straight up action shoot 'em up.

NAZIS OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

The Nazi boat captain was kind of a good guy, as nazis go, but my god was he stupid. What was up with him? First he was gung ho super-nazi then he hated them? Kind of dumb episode.

"it could very well be the will of god that our boat sank here today"
No, it was the will of you, dumbfuck.

Side not: Why are Revy's pants always unbuttoned? Is she too fat to button them? Fashion statement? Interesting....

And a large english-speaking black man with an American accent claims to be a part of the Thai navy. Get better at telling lies, bruh.

One more complaint: These neo nazis are outside of their trailer parks. W.T.F.
