More Banana Fish yapping

Now that I thinking about it, Black Lagoon is like Banana Fish but with slightly less trauma and without many scenes that make you die inside.

Also like both shows are about a Japanese men (Eiji and Rock) who lived a chill life and then randomly gets to experience the life of crime.

The other protagonist is someone used to this life, is a great fighter and has unresolved trauma (Ash and Revy).

And they end up developing fondness to one another

Pros about BL: I would say Black Lagoon has many more funnier moments and slightly less traumatic events. Also, the cast contains mostly female characters who add the most to the plot, are great fighters and have great dynamics between each other. It has a more gritty aesthetic, very 90's-early 00's vibe.

Pros about BF: it has more emotionally charged themes and it makes you feel a dozens of emotions per episode. The violence is less I would say but it's also more impactful because you get really attached to the characters (Ash, Eiji, Short, Yut-Lung, Sing etc). It also feels more artsy and deep.

Bonus:

They would definitely try to fight each other and then hookup.

Also, they give the same amount of diva and they would be besties (Yut-lung would teach Shenhua about poisoning and Shenhua would teach him about fighting with blades).

Sorry for the long ramble, but if you like Banana Fish, I think you should try Black Lagoon and vice versa.
