Both animes
Pne of the mc in both animes is a japanese innocent and good guy, who goes overseas and gets involved into the world of violence and gangs. Both of them builds a strong connection with a person from that alien to them enviroument, which changes their own reality forever.
In both shows there is good action, animation and both give off a similar feel, though Black Lagoon is more action oriented and consists of mini arcs,while Banana Fish follows one story arc.
Both are gritty crime shows with lots of hectic action in them.

thinks black lagoon and banana fish look alike because there are no superpowers in both anime. and they both have dealings with gangs. I recommend you to watch banana fish with dramatized events and clever drawing graphics.
-Both have great fighting scenes and have pretty similar fights in general
-Both have characters with dark pasts
-Both include gang-like fights with similar weapons
(Banana Fish is set in 80s NYC while Black Lagoon is set in Thailand)
If Guns, drugs,gangs, murder,assains,etc makes you excited ,then both are fine, but Banana fish explores even deeper inside the bond of friendship.while Black Lagoon explores how a salary man is getting adjusted in the underworld.

Both anime are quite heavy watches, and navigate the darker facets of society in gun/gang violence, child abuse and drug dealing. The dynamic between the main two characters is also quite similar; an innocent dragged into the criminal underworld against their will, and a hardened underworld figure whose pain goes far beneath the surface. Just as Rock and Revy's development depends largely upon the other, Banana Fish revolves around the bond between the two protagonists, and how it affects their characters individually.
