What happens

Black Lagoon (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese anime television series based on the manga series Black Lagoon by Rei Hiroe. It was animated by Madhouse and produced by Geneon Entertainment, Shogakukan and Geneon USA. The series was directed and written by Sunao Katabuchi, with Masanori Shino designing the characters and Edison composing the music. The first season was broadcast in Japan from April to June 2006; it was followed by a second season, subtitled The Second Barrage, which was broadcast from October to December of the same year. A five-episode original video animation (OVA) series, subtitled Roberta's Blood Trail, was released from July 2010 to June 2011. It is officially recognized as the third season. In North America, the anime series was originally licensed by Geneon USA in 2006. It was later acquired by Funimation (now Crunchyroll) in 2008 after the former's dissolution, with the company later licensing the OVAs and regionally releasing it in August 2013.
