I recently came into ownership of the first two seasons of Black Lagoon, and now I am completely hooked.
This show is definitely not PG13, so we'll just have to refrain from certain details :/

Here's the wiki, though it doesn't do it justice in the explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lagoon

I've decided to not having an overly descriptive OP as I'd like to get into some discussion with the rest of you.

My friend is a big collector, so i managed to flick through his.
The art work is unreal.

Agreed, I was surprised at the large amount of effort put into detail. And if you watch both versions of the TV anime, you'll see that the English from Japanese dubbing is not just dubbing, but they also changed how the characters faces moved while speaking. Not many Companies go through that kind of effort when translating.

Who is your favorite character?
Mines is Revy.

I think Revy is everyone's #1 actually, from what I've seen!
Though I wish characters like Dutch and Benny would get more screen time. Short lived characters like Ginji interest me though.

Favourite episode?

oooh, there's a tough one. I'd have to go wiiiith.... *thinks a year* Episode 7, season 1 "Calm Down,Two Men", and the last four episodes of season two.
'two Men because it show's some very interesting dialogue and character development of the likes that I've never seen in anything of that genre. And the last four of season two because it was such a grand finale for that season.
