Manga author Rei Hiroe has <a href="http://13xs.blog93.fc2.com/">announced</a> that he is planning to end Black Lagoon’s hiatus and start the manga again. He also admits to nervousness stating, "Though I'm dying to draw, I'm scared to actually draw it. If it were not this hard, I wouldn't have had to take as long as two years off."

<em>Synopsis

The Black Lagoon saga begins when Rokurō Okajima, a Japanese salary-man, is kidnapped by a mercenary group named Lagoon company which consists of three American outlaws named Dutch, Benny and Revy. By the end of their journey he is a member of the crew and sinking deep into the criminal underworld of the fictional pirate port of Roanapur in Thailand and other real-life locales such as Japan where he meets a colourful cast of characters.</em>

I'd beg to differ. it's pure fun, and that was what he aimed to set out to do. The manga was on one hell of a hiatus though, which really annoyed me a bit. I was getting ready to enjoy the new arc he started, but then after 4 chapters, it stopped. Was never sure if it was down to the OVAs or what, but to see him start again will be fantastic.
 
Oh yes it its. It not excelent but its a fun action series and its badass. Has a badass girl to compensate all the girl titles moe sh*t and stuff that are popping from everywhere.

honestly i think anime already had its best days.

I know the bd its coming out in the uk but i would prefer dvd though. Hope to see the license coming back from the dead one of these days.
 
The reason I don't like his series is cause I don't like revvi she's a cold blooded bitch I really don't like any of the characters in the series

+1

Excellent news. Black Lagoon's not the Best Thing Ever™ but it is one of the best things of the 21st Century.
 
I agree with all of the above minus AF's posts. Black Lagoon isn't a triple A anime, but it has great production values and is a lot of fun, so I will be picking it up.
 
I found myself re-watching bits of Black Lagoon a little while ago. I'm happy to say that it was actually better than the first time around. Considering I liked it a lot when I first saw it, that can only be a good thing.

Nothing beats the spectacle of Revy leaping from one boat to another, viciously taking out the crews with a grenade launcher.

Here's hoping for more great Black lagoon stories, and - dare I say it - some more anime!
 
I'd like to hear how Kaze will handle the DVD re-release.

I hope that they simply re-release the existing UK version for the first two series, the MVM six-disc collection, with four episodes per disc in English and Japanese.

I'm concerned that they'll redo the series onto four discs, whack French and German and Italian audio and subtitle options, and lock it all away behind UPOPs.

That will happen for the Blu-rays and the Roberta's Blood Trail DVD anyway, but doing it to the original series on DVD would be a retrograde step.
 
Yeah - it really is NOT a good idea for any distributors re-releasing material that's already had an airing over here under somebody else's banner to offer any sort of deal that compares unfavourably to what was available before.

I've noted on this board how those sorts of decisions, whether they be in relation to pricing or product content, have a great impact on the level of goodwill UK fans have towards the local arm of the industry.

Seriously guy this is a show for people who have balls, done by ballsy Japs and voiced by ballsy Canadians'. Hell even the Bitches have balls in this show!

So yeah...


leave this thread and don't come back, ball-less
 
Hurrah! Kyle must be twitching with pure delight. I hope we get more anime coverage on that front.

Roberta's Blood Trail was the weakest instalment so far, although it had some fantastic animation. I hope the rest of the stories that come out of Roanapur will deliver the brazen fun we got from the first two seasons.
