Jesus fucking Christ! What I absolutely cannot stand is retarded anime writers who can't write a believable scenario for shit! Seriously, fuck these people. You know what's a good idea? Let's make a secondary character that appeared in one episode an unstoppable killing machine because why the fuck not. Like, I wouldn't mind if a character is really good at killing things if their background story is being a trained assassin and all but holy shit, can you not try to make her look like a "badass" by standing ten feet away from US special forces soldiers and them shooting at her for almost a minute NOT HITTING ONCE, only to have her shoot over her shoulder and kill every one of them in one shot. It's seriously painful when these dickwads are making a "realistic" series only to have mary sue characters like this. Even I can shoot a target from almost 500 meters and I am by no means any "special forces" unit. Besides even I could write somthing like "and then she took cover" or something. GOD. They have officially ruined a series I once loved to death. Thank you, assholes. Oh, and right now I'm talking about the third season of Black Lagoon, though this does apply to everything else too.

I was gonna post this in the vent thread but hey, it's anime related so deal with it.

@Mass Distraction - While I do actually really enjoy Black Lagoon S1 and S2, it never really had realistic scenes and perfect writing in the first place. It's to be enjoyed as a B Action flick while it can have some good moments of writing, most of the events were extremely ludacris and over the top that don't make any sense. Other than the obvious barrage of bullets that always seem to miss, how can we forget this little scene?



That's not to say that it had terrible writing though as the development of Rock (which I here is expanded in the OVA, though I need to see myself) was interesting as he begins to change his ideals and attitude once thrown into the crime filled lifestyle that he is in and the stories while not realistic, were still very engaging and kept you interesting.

@Code - Moe infestation, what?

I ask this because I saw this character called Sadi-Chan and I'm guessing besides drastic clothing censorship they would've had to cut like 80% of her scenes and change a lot of her dialogue and delivery.

Spoiler

Oh, and if you meant the third season by the OVA, then no, Rock absolutely didn't get his character expanded on in this one. He seemed to have changed only for it to be revealed at the end that he is still the same. He and Revy didn't get anywhere. The only person who got some character detail was Balalaika. Otherwise, fuck this piece of shit season to hell. Roberta is apparently invincible, for being shot multiple times, one shot being straight through the eye. Nope, still running and gunning. Then one guy finally gets on her weak side, shoots two weapons empty on her from point blank range, misses each and every shot, gets killed. Even when the goddamn US military captures Roberta as the new Osama Bin Laden THEY FUCKING LET HER GO. This is never explained. They just did, even though she seemingly was public enemy number one and killed dozens of US soldiers for the fun of it. Oh, and Roberta propably got some sexy tiems with the "young master" who is propably 12. Well fucking done. All this while Revy is reminiscing how she got raped by her father. Because why not. The writing may not have been so great in the series to begin with but holy damn, even a bunch of trained manatees could have come up with a better plot.
