Black Lagoon is an awesome anime, truly. It's a short series about these renegade mercenaries who kidnap and end up recruiting a new member to their troupe.

The Characters:

Rock is the main character of the series. He is a Japanese salaryman who joins the crew of the Black Lagoon after they kidnap him. Rock does not fight but is an excellent negotiator and translator, and apparently does the accounting for the Black Lagoon Company. He is often scared by the methods Revy sometimes uses to achieve her goals.

Revy is the female protagonist of the series. She provides the muscle for the Lagoon Company. She is of Chinese descent and grew up in New York City. Revy is exceptionally skilled with using firearms in battle, but is not much of a people person. She enjoys killing her enemies and seldom stops to negotiate. Despite her usual calm demeanor, her tendency to enjoy taking the lives of others is a result of her internal emotional instability, as evidenced by her more conflicting interactions with Rock. Her signature weapon is a brace of custom-made stainless steel 9 mm Beretta M92F "Sword Cutlass Special" pistols. Her nickname "Two Hand" reflects her ability to use both pistols simultaneously.

Dutch is the African-American leader of the Lagoon "trading company". He captains the PT boat Black Lagoon, and coordinates his crew. Although he seldom participates in battle, he is still a deadly adversary, stemming from his time as a soldier in the Vietnam War.

Benny is a former post-graduate student at the University of Central Florida. He is of Jewish descent and serves as the Lagoon's technical expert. Like Rock, he is not a gunfighter and does not have the capacity to kill in cold blood. However, he is hardened to the job and willing to overlook almost anything to get the job done.

P.S. Big thanks to Trunks for welcoming my idea for this section.

Looks like your request came through.
Black Lagoon's a lot of fun and they stick to the manga's story quite well. Can't wait for the Third Barrage

That would be quite awesome. I haven't finished the whole series and definitely no where near done with the manga but it has become a favorite of mine. ^^
