Just a heads up that the Black Lagoon BDs are delayed until July 30th - the DVD collection is out tomorrow though.

I'll pick up .hack//Quantum at some point.

Ah, a cheap week for me...

Black Lagoon's great, though. I rewatched a few episodes for giggles a while back and found I enjoyed them even more second - no, wait, THIRD time around.

Ring Ding Ship Chase contains what is surely one of the most epic moments in anime.

Any show that has Nazis get massacred on such a scale as in this is all right by me. And it has the unstoppable cybernetic maid from the future... And it makes smoking look cool.

Whereas using Nazis semi-seriously outside of their historical context is one of those things which automatically makes me mark a show down, even I did overwhelmingly enjoy Black Lagoon (and anyone who doesn't already own it should buy it). There are plenty of modern adversaries for the present day, I think it's high time to leave the Nazis in the period of history where they belong. It's like having the armies of Napoleon or the Roman Empire as your enemy, just getting more and more ridiculous the further we move into the future.

Normally I'd agree with you, but it seems that in certain parts of Europe, the far right never really went away. Besides, Black Lagoon is set in the mid-nineties, which makes it a little more plausible for a [spoiler]survivor of the Third Reich to[/spoiler] play a part in the story.

I don't think the far right ever really went (or ever go) away anywhere, they just proved particularly popular in the 1930s. But the kind of "Nazis" that have been around since then have been a multitude of disorganised splinter groups who couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery, not an organised, uniformed and armed force to be reckoned with. I still think the part the Nazis played could easily have been filled by that of a private military contractor, even if it was someone with Nazi sympathies in charge of them.

With the Black Lagoon BD sets moving a few weeks, that makes it nothing for me this week.

Only was going to get the first one anyway for a bit, probably the safer thing for me to do considering I'm a newbie to the show.

Bump!

I see that amazon is selling Black Lagoon for £43,50 which is quite expensive. Does the package is anything special or just plastic box with 6 discs inside like most of things nowadays.

Since its a release together with Kaze, i thought it might have something special..
