What’s good readership, thanks for joining us for the second installment of Cinema Saturday. If you caught last week’s post you already know how this goes down. We here at OkiZoo thought it would be a great idea to show some of our favorite movies, anime, and documentaries on Saturday mornings as a throwback to when everyone was a kid waking up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Hey we’re just big kids over here who love to have fun 
Today’s Cinema Saturday features an awesome anime series entitled: Black Lagoon
Black Lagoon is a manga series written and illustrated by Rei Hiroe, and published in Shogakukan’s Sunday GX since 2002. The animated television series based on the manga aired in Japan from April to June of 2006, totaling twelve episodes. The English language version of the manga is distributed by Viz Media, and the first volume was released on August 12, 2008.
The story follows a team of pirates/mercenaries known as Lagoon Company. Lagoon Company members include Rock (A Japanese businessman, and the lead character who was kidnapped by the Lagoon Company, yet overcomes all to become an integral part of the team), Revy (a.k.a. Two-Hands. She provides the muscle for Lagoon Company, and is exceptionally skilled with using firearms in battle), Dutch (The African-American leader of the Lagoon “Trading Company”. A deadly adversary who captains the PT boat Black Lagoon, and coordinates the crew), and Benny (A former graduate student of the University of Central Florida, he serves as the Lagoon’s technical expert).
Hope you all like these episodes as much as we here at OkiZoo do… but if you’re visiting our blog you already know what’s up, so enjoy!
