I'm thinking to myself: "what would happen if Tokyo Akazukin should be made into a anime?" Well the US would probably ban it for sexual exploit of underage ecchi. But Tokyo Red Hood shouldn't JUST be blamed\credited for that; it also has an healthy dose of gore and visual horror.

Tokyo Akazukin can be described as 'dementedly weird' or 'twisted wonderful'. You really only have to read the first chapter to see if its up to your speed or not. To me it clearly was.

Meet the lusty Red Hood, a small girl who has no memory of her past or who she really is. She's a ... strange delight, you could say, combined with terribly unique kind of abilities. Don't be fooled if at first glance she or the manga seems to be ground leveled. After the brief introduction your going to start seeing that something isn't quite right here. Maybe because you notice the side of Red Hood's head being blown off and her, still alive, begging for a bit more.

This lolicon is one of a kind. 'The Little Red Riding Hood' theme plays on through the story; if to say you look over the incubusus cats, angle shemales and four armed assasins that is. The sex scenes are not as visual as the gore but it's there with all its loli glory none the less. There are some brief touching moments but not many as the 'feel' of the characters and story have a hardcore cruel & sarcastic grip.

But after you've begin looking pass the violence and sex (what?!) there's a story of demonic and angelic action and above what a mother wouldn't do for her son. Confused or more curious? Does it really matter. The tale revolves around Akazukin, Little Red Hood and her one desire:
To be Eaten by Mr. Wolf

What makes a good anime? Plot....characters...and perhaps an excessive bit of violence ^^. Though Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage isn't quite different from the first season there is viewer joy to be found in the second season...

Most memorable (and perhaps the highlight) is the first three episodes of Second Barrage. The debut of Hansel and Gretel hurls us into the story and by the end of Swan Song At Dawn you'll wish you could replay it (at least I did ^^).

But either than that this season moves in a more serious direction with Mafia fights, sad pasts and a whole lot of trigger happy ... ladies. Well what do you expect from an action anime? Even so I was surprised by the realism some of the topics held and the after thoughts I had.

All in all Black Lagoon with it's great visuals and exceptional voice acting (lol, Rock sounds like Light Yagami :D) this is a great anime if you're tired of the usual sword fights and random fan service (can that be?!). Enjoy it! ^^
