I just love ruthless, kick ass, chicks!!
Roberta has gone off the deep end. I'm hoping that she was able to stop herself from killing Young Master.
Fabiola needed to STFU!! Since she's packing heat, all that moral and self-righteous BS needs to fly right out the window! I think Levy showed her that basically you can't afford to have compassion, and you have to be prepared to kill without a second thought and be killed. If she's still on the moral high ground in the next OVA, I hope Levy shoots her!
Damn you, cliffhanger!!!!

Sick stuff in this episode. The characters' psychology and direction were top-notch as usual and the action was... well, just crazy.

When the seduction part started I was thinking this isn't very black lagoon, in the way that they never show sex scences, and thinking don't tell me this is just because it's an OVA, which can often be overly sexual just cause they can...

But then Roberta shot the guy with her belt, now THAT is black laggon

this was hands down one of the most well designed and executive episodes of anime ive ever seen.

the story, the script, the animation levels, were off the charts

not to mention, INCREDIBLE voice acting by all parties, especially roberta.

this ova has gone from a 9/10 to a masterpiece of 10/10. i cannot find a single fault in this episode..

mind=blown rite now

Agree with most people here; this was a great episode. Beautiful art & animation; top notch action scenes, a very quick & sharp storytelling, and bloody as hell. Revy stole the show, her speech and actions like always where amazing. The conversation or should I say the class lesson that Mr. Chang gave Rock was beyond words. In the end, I did like very much how they portrayed in this episode the reality of how crude & insane things are in Roanapur.

5/5

Now Madhouse release Hellsing Ultimate OVA 8; been waiting for it since last year.

Actually, OVA 8, as well as other remaining episodes of the series, will be animated by the studios Graphinica and Kelmadick instead of Madhouse. But yeah, the wait for it has gotten ridiculous. =D

To the topic then; this episode really delivered on the action department! In fact, this episode was great in all aspects: top notch animation, great dialogs (especially the dialog between Mr. Chang and Rock), nice atmosphere... And Roberta looks so HOT in her bloodhound suit ^^

Best episode in the whole series so far.

True, read about it today; let's hope that Graphinica and Kelmadick can make at least something decent out of what is left of the 3rd and last season of Hellsing Ultimate. It would be sad if the last 3 remaining OVAs are terrible treated thus ruining a masterpiece, IMO.

OK seriously, when did Black Lagoon become a supernatural anime? I mean, sure that all the females can fight and handle weapons, but come on - when not just one but three-four guys with machine guns are blasting off straight at them from about 5 meters, and they STILL don't get hit?! It's always been crazy action in the series, but this is just way too overpoweringly retarded...

Well Black Lagoon did show other over the top scenes but generally they handled it a little better. Indeed they should have made 2-3 scenes slightly different. Instead of her just standing and shooting they could have avoided looking ridiculous by making her run and shoot.

BUT other than those little mistakes this episode was:




This whole episode gave me a hard-on. This women are tooooooo awesome!!!
Pics or Roberta and Revy should be permanently put under the word badass in the dictionary. How can they be so hot and badass at the same time is beyond me.

I loved this episode. Probably one of the best of the series. I will have to rewatch the first 2 parts because I had forgotten a lot about whats going on. But none the less it was amazing.

The only thing I didn't like what how bad the terroists were on the rooftop. I mean they were Stormtrooper bad. Five of them shooting at a standing still target and not 1 bullet connects.

Other then that great episode can't wait for part 4!!!

I'm quite sure it's the tune of that 'The Ants Go Marching' song. Which, on further thought, is probably based on something else itself.

Will somebody tell me what is going on? Roberta wants revenge and her young master, Garcia, is trying to stop her somehow and bring her back. I have no idea why everyone else is getting involved. Then all of a sudden it's like a free-for-all, everyone's killing everyone else. What do they have to gain exactly?

I was hoping Garcia would go up and hug Roberta and tell her everything's okay and she'd return to normal, but instead he couldn't handle the sight of a blood thirsty Roberta and looses it. Then Roberta looses it at the sight of Garcia loosing it. Now I'm beginning to loose it at the insanity of it all. ugh.

Those guys that Roberta and Revy's group are fighting are affiliated with America and Chang hired Black Lagoon to stop what is currently happening form happening. But, the general idea was for America not to have a reason to attack the city. This was pretty much the point of the meeting of the different factions last episode.

I have been marathoning this OVA so far, but I had to comment on this episode because it was fucking brutal! Things are taking a turn for the worse in an episode that gave a frightening sense of realism and darkness contrary to many of the more cartoonish TV episodes. Really good stuff.

Also this episode gains extra points for the return of crazy old faces :D

The more i see this OVA the less i understand the plot. Some American guys, some latinos, some guys who looks like American soldiers but from Cuba. What do they want from each other?

Anyway i'm happy to see Shenhua, Wizard and Sawyer. They all are so cool!

And I'm very scared for Roberta. That pills and her aggression. It's like "she took the wrong way and she would die in the end".. I hope it's true only for Hollywood, but not for anime

Roberta is insane. Literally. Pound for pound the most bad*ss woman on the planet.

Fabiola is the only distraction in this OVA.
