Well I'd hazard a guess and say they probably would have stuck with the same 12 ep series as before so no doubt the number of OVAs is probably gonna be small.
Altho like its said before some series have had quite a few OVAs but I don't see that being the case here. If they have anything close to same number eps of a normal seires then they just might as well go ahead and make all 12 then.
I'm guessing its something like 6 or less OVAs maybe they will venture into a 7th.

So it's an OVA series, and not a TV series?

That could be both good and bad... Good, because of the bump in quality, but what about length?

Cowboy Spike Spigel · 2009-07-21, 07:19

I am just going ot have faith that an OVA will be awesome, it is Black Lagoon after all animated by Madhouse-and I do like all their anime.

I hope that the writer adds more arcs ro the BL manga, cause I would not mind more BL after the OVA.

Absolutely no anime like BL !!!!!

These are times Iam glad I have Revy's poseable figure. Hope it'll be like HellSing and Kara no Kyoukai. Long OVA's with kick ass storylines and animation!

They would have gone through a 3rd season TV Series if there was enough material....but the new arc only focuses on Roberta and it's quite boring....maybe animated would be more interesting.

Hs Vi Germania · 2009-07-22, 15:03

Any ideas when the first episodes should be aired?

Not necessarily true.

These days, a cut-down/edited/incomplete/censored version of OVA episode is often aired a few weeks before the DVD gets released. This is because fundamentally, all anime on JP tv are just commercials for the DVDs anyway. So it would be quite normal for the Black Lagoon OVA to get broad-casted on TV, though not necessarily fully.

Examples: Hellsing OVAs, Diebuster OVAs, Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari series.

Full Metal Coast · 2009-07-28, 20:35

just wondering if anyone on here knows when some new chapters for the Black Lagoon Manga are going to be released? ive read up to chapter 74 or 76 and am hanging out to find out what is going to happen next.

That's not what i ment)

btw, am I'm the only one here who thinks that OVA(DVD) >> TV season with 13\26\etс episodes?

stormy001_M1A2 · 2009-08-01, 13:20

OAD/OVA has less censorship and better production quality on general. So I kinda welcome BL in this format , to be honest.

xxangelchanxx · 2009-08-03, 03:58

Considering that the manga goes at a snail's pace,we might have a chance of getting a real season 3 like 2 years from now...

i reckon it will be 2 years at the least maybe 4. if they are going to cover the current story arc in 1 or 2 OVA's with the manga not even finished yet we still have a long while to wait for a proper 3rd season

I'd rather they stick to the OVA format from now or, or even a movie at the end. Much better production value that way.

Glad i aint the only one

Cant wait for the 3rd season, so im thinking of reading the manga, or would that spoil the fun the BL experience?

^ REVY's English voice is indeed sexy!!! (I registered late so please forgive me >.< )

Reading the manga won't spoil you much...actually...but that's just my opinion though XD

I agree with you there: Maryke Hendrikse really knows how to bring that sexiness in her voice for the character.

Hopefully, we'll have more of the guys in Vancouver for the English version. But first, I am really expecting big for this new series.

With the amount of content remaining in the manga, a third season is guaranteed to have a filler majority. Unless Hiroe is hiding a few more chapters under his pillow I'd say the best bet is an OVA of the new Roberta arc which hasn't even finished yet. Truthfully though, Madhouse has some decent leeway if they decided to make half a season of filler. It has the potential to be very entertaining, though I'm always doubtful of non-manga material.

BetoJR · 2009-09-10, 05:44

Hmmm... you do know they are doing an OVA series, right?
