@apc@starside.social But... "there is another" And we finally manage to excape normie-hood. (I shall apologize to my ancestors later.) Black Lagoon involves more ship bows and prows than you can shake a stick at, and when you can perch "damager of all calms" Revy on them, all is right with the world.

@cthellis@urusai.social Oh, damn, I was searching through early episodes for a different kind of bowing! I like yours better! :p Good ole Rock had it tough back home in Japan. Not that his superiors were any less prone to necessary bows, at times... #BlackLagoon #AniMangaFoundIt

@apc@starside.social And now we enter "the twang zone." Led off by the finest shoulder in anime (well, second-finest ) as we explore a shrine priest and kyuudou expert take charge of a club of lovely archery boys in a series literally named after "the sound of a vibrating bowstring after the arrow is released."

@cthellis@urusai.social I often find profile shots of anime characters' faces to be... not well done. Bad eye spacing, bad nose positioning, both eyes partially visible from the side, entire mouth visible on the camera facing side of the head, etc. But that profile shot of Revy is pretty dang near perfect. It captures her serious expression while her face remains beautifully, one-sidedly, symmetrical! Black Lagoon. Always amazing.
