Haesslich – O.o I missed your comment! Yes, Roberta was awesome. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to track down volume 3 with the whole Geneon thing…might have to resort to ‘other measures’ to watch the rest of Black Lagoon!

m0c0-chan – It’s very Hellsing-esque. As I said in my review of volume one, it could easily exist in the same world!

You’ve met the Terminator, I see. Yes, Roberta’s a non-moe, sorta-dojjiko maid… except when she messes things up, it’s not ‘cute’ in the traditional way. It’s just bloody.

Take a look at Vol 3 and how things end there – I think you’ll enjoy the series quite a bit, although I’ve heard complaints about the second season.. I never had any myself, though.

One more thing I’ll add: they follow the source manga VERY closely, rearranging only the order of the stories as well as a few plot elements. It’s probably another reason I love this series; it’s a faithful adaptation, and doesn’t take away the things that made it good in favor of what the director THINKS would make it good (cough-NEGIMA-hack).
