Talk:Black Lagoon

message: I'd just like to get some opinions of this matter. I was very nearly tempted to trim, if not delete the vast entirety of the "Cultural References" section.Seems to me that too much worthless infomation was put into a trivia section, and to tidy it up, they forked it into the "Cultural References".The problem however is that most of it is utter crap.Listing the details of each parody such as "Coka Cola", or Heineken, talking about mini-disks because they used it.. even the opinion of what they think of each other.Thats worthless content, as such, should be removed--Bazarnz 14:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Should a section be created to list the weapons shown in the series? I'm far from an expert when it comes to weapons, but they are a big part of Black Lagoon.
::So far I've seen:
:* Revy's Beretta 92FSs, She also uses a M79 40mm Grenade Launcher, A GEPARD anti-material rifle, A APS underwater rifle, A RPG of some kind, Likely a 7 and an unknown SMG, I think its a Steyer TMP, In the end credits she has a pump shotgun of some kind.
:* A H&K G3/FAL rifle of some kind that Rock throws at the HIND.
:* Kalashnikov rifles used by the Extra Order mercs, The leader has a Desert Eagle .50AE I think.
:* Roberta's Umbrella gun is a SPAS-12 and I think the suitcase gun is a H&K MP5, I think she also uses a M1911.
:* Duch has a large calibre revolver, I think its a .44 Mag or a .357 of some kind and a 12ga Remington 870 Marine Magnum.
:* The PBRs have twin M2 Brownings and some other MGs (M60s?), The crews have M-16s and AKs I think.
:* I think the police have .38 Revolvers.
:* Eda has a Glock.
:* Kar98k rifles and a Walther P38 pistol on the U-Boat.
:* TOW anti-tank missiles, The neo-nazis also use a MG3 or MG42 with a 75rnd drum and one of them has a gold plated .454 Casull Luger.

text: I don't believe such information is worth listing, it isn't relevant to the show to list every small detail., the only weapon of note in the show is the cutlass Revy uses, since its given a sizable amount of screen time, the rest should be left out.--Bazarnz 14:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

text: If a third party source comments on the weapons, then that's fine, but a list is totally trivial and unnecessary.  --BrokenSphereMsg me 17:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weapons of Black Lagoon 

message: It seems overanalytical to me to say that this is a reference to what seems to be a common or established military practice in the field. I think it's similar to saying that every time someone yells "Fire in the hole!" in a film that this is a reference to all the other war movies in which something similar happens, as well as in real life. Basically I think it's not necessary. Any thoughts?  --BrokenSphere 20:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Trivia comment on Revy's RPG warning 

message: Concerning Leigharch, I thought that he is actually a drug user of some sort. Shenhua calls him a "junkie" several times, even saying that "his brain is flying around Mars[...]"; after Revy, Shenhua and Rock come back from the guerilla camp they find him completely "relaxed" (the look in his eyes is quite obvious); and during the chase Revy gives one of Leigharch cigarettes to Rock but not referring it as a smoke, and a moment later Rock is seen in the same state than Leigharch, mumbling and complaining softly, his eyes being halfway closed. Rock is often seen smoking cigarettes in the previous episodes without experiencing this kind of effects.
However is Leigharch using marijuana or some other drug? Hatlawa 07:52, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's obviously something going on with their sexuality. Why else would Rock react so when one of them lifted up its skirt to show him? I wondered whether perhaps they were both neutered - it'd explain the voices - but I don't think we find out for sure unless the manga/novels cover it. --Gwern  (contribs) 22:40 10 April 2009 (GMT)
I would surmise that Rock's reaction to being flashed has less to do with the type of genitalia that "Gretel" possesses, and more to do with the fact that he is shown to be uncomfortable with open sexuality (For example, his reactions to the hard-core pornography that Balilaika is editing in episode seven), and the simple fact that "Gretel" is a child.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.53.124.83 (talk) 07:39, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Anyone else think it would be fair to turn this into a "References" section, as it's more or less become a section citing all the references to pop culture etc contained within Black Lagoon, rather than just miscellaneous trivia.
:How about a Cultural References section incorporating those.  --BrokenSphere 16:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Created - I just copypasted most of the stuff over from the trivia section though - I think it could do with a little preface along the lines of "Black Lagoon contains a variety of references to pop culture and history... etc" but I'm not exactly sure how to phrase it. Lmaowitzer 19:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

text: A lot of the info is so circumstantial and only appears once that putting it back into the main description would detract from that and be distracting to the reader.  Someone actually started creating individual pages for the episodes but it's currently only at eps 4-7; the individual trivia that occurs only in specific episodes (assuming that pages are created for all 24) could go into the respective pages for those, and consistent references could stay in a ref section.

message: I think that at least 4 of the images on the article page aren't necessary: the group shot of the characters, and the 3 used to illustrate 3 seperate character's viewpoints in the style and thems section.  The first, largely because the Lagoon Co. does have their own pics anyway in the list of page, so a pic of them isn't really necessary here; compare other anime article pages that have brief blurbs about the characters with more in-depth commentary and image elsewhere.  As for the 3, I really don't see the need for them to illustrate the assertions made in the themes section.  BrokenSphereMsg me 05:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: According to ANN the last tankobon was released in November 2006, thus it appears that the manga series has ended with nothing being released since then.

message: Episode 2 of the Roberta's Blood Trail series (#26 overall) shows a map of Thailand at one point, with Roanapur clearly labeled. It lies very close to the Cambodian border, almost exactly where the real town of Trat is. The coastline is slightly different than in the real world, though -- and Trat seems to be a small, peaceful fishing town, totally unlike the decadent, crime-ridden city of Roanapur. At any rate, Roanapur's (fictional) location is not a mystery, and a screen capture of the map can even be included, if necessary. Should the information be updated?
