A number of new anime sequels/spin-offs have been announced recently.
<ul>
<li>Though specific details are sparse at this early stage, a new (third) season of <em><strong>Black Lagoon</strong></em> was <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-16/third-black-lagoon-anime-project-confirmed">officially announced</a> in Japan earlier this week. Of course, the two previous (13-episode) seasons of the stylish action anime are currently being released in the UK by MVM.</li>
<li>New information on the recently announced animated shorts connected with <em><strong>Dragon Ball Z</strong></em> and <em><strong>One Piece</strong></em> has been posted on the <a href="http://www.animenation.net/blog/2008/07/11/new-details-on-2008-jump-super-anime-tour/">AnimeNation Blog</a>.
The Dragon Ball Z short will be titled "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!" while the One Piece short will be an adaptation of <em><strong>Romance Dawn</strong></em>, mangaka Eiichiro Oda's two-chapter precursor to his famous later work, One Piece.</li>
<li>A new 30 minute Inuyasha anime <a href="http://www.animenation.net/blog/2008/07/09/new-inuyasha-anime-announced/">has been announced</a>. Again, details are sparse, but as Rumiko Takahashi's long-running Inuyasha manga finally finished in June after 12 years of serialization, speculation is rife that the animators may return to her story to finish it.</li>
