Speaking in terms of Adult anime.
Black Lagoon is the kind of show that does what Cowboy Bebop does-make a completely unique storyline and setting. But there were still shows very similar to Cowboy Bebop. Except, this show just cannot be wrapped up, is has to go on as we need more anime like this since every other anime is like fantasy/supernatural/Sci-Fi kind of content. Plus, where else would you see that many good gunfights, crude comedy and pure Badass roled in to one. The show is pure realism, and I like it and it is needed. The animes based on realism are shows like Samurai champloo and Samurai X-OAV, but w/e, and those shows are really good, but we have enough of that type of show. I say bring on 10 seasons , I am very happy that there is a thrid season being made. About time-LOL. BTW, can someone please post me the link for the newest manga ( the kind where you can read the story of the net) of Black Lagoon in English-I cannot read Japanese-LOL. |

and i definately agree that they should make 10 seasons of it. one thing i would really like to see in the new season would be the next level with Rock and Revy as there is definately something between the two.

In this third season, or maybe next season(hopefully), I just think that the focus should remain on letting the audience know Dutch and Benny, cause Dutch looks like he had a dark past that he is dealing with, and Benny looks like he is trying to escape his past and not bother dealing with it since he ran into the mafia and all, so it would be cool if it all came back to haunt him-he is living in Roanapur-crime lord central-LOL. |

I just don't see Revy and Rock having a "romantic subplot".
As far as I am concerned, from the latest manga arc, they are already in an implied relationship. They are adults; there isn't going to be love letters, confessions, hand holding or 1st kisses. I am expecting the Revy X Rock elements to leak through the story indirectly, but never taking center stage. At some point, they are probably going to be shown living together without the story making a big deal about it. And I don't EVER expect them to get married officially. Marriage is just a legal formality, and law matters not to outlaws like them.

I agree, a romantic subplot just does not need to be shown, just implied, plus, it would kind of seem weird if Revi went from Badass to nice girl while being romantic.
Revi and Rock already sorted out their diferences. Dutch is a charaster they need to focus on next, the guy just seems unbreakable and cool, there has to be some sort of blast from the past to stir things up with him. |

It would be interesting to see the metamorphosis of the relationship between Rock and Revi in the third season providing that, as previously mentioned, said relationship stays true to the overall feel of the show. The "romantic subplot" is only hinted at in the first two seasons of the show and leaves the audience waiting for some kind of catalyst to bring the two closer together. Also it will be interesting to see if any further developments occur with Dutch's past, which has also only been hinted at in the anime thus far.

Would definately have to agree that the last thing i would want see is revy turn from a complete badass to a hopeless romantic. i know in the manga it is implied that they are in some sort of relationship but i think it would there would be some very interesting situations would arise if Rock and Revy were in a more intimate relationship as such.
when they go on jobs now they get crazy enough but with those two in a relationship and on missions stuff would get just that much more out of hand.

Black Lagoon is one my all-time favorite anime's.... Not only is the anime great but they had the perfect mix of characters... The Black guy - the old skool ex-vet... Revy - the young wild "kill-you-if-look-at-me-wrong" badass Rock - ordinary The jewish guy - the nerd Quote:

The thrid season will be mostly about the Loveless family and Fabiola(Roberta's assitant maid). I just hope that bringing a second gun-wielding maid does not make the show feel like too much of a repeat of the first season season.
I love that this show has represented almost every nationality, but not as typical streotypes-Revi for example who is part Asian, part American and Balakia who is a war tactical veteran-not a typical russian stereotype. BTW, Rock is not ordainary, he is someone who should be classified as a diplomat, as a pose to Revi, who speaks her mind no matter how who the person is. Rock deals with problems with his words. I agree that he is ordanary and normal at times though, but that only makes Rock stand out more. I hope that the thrid Season is more Dramatic, don't get me wrong, I love the series and the action and characters, but it only has a few bursts of dramatic intensity, but the only strong scene in this anime was when Rock grew a pair and stood up to Revi when they were doing errands together for the first time-the ep after the Nazi submarine episodes. If this series was just a bit more dramatic, that it would be not only awesome, but things would feel a bit more gripping and not just cool action and funny one-liners with various themes being explored. |

I love the narration done by Rock, its actually grips you into the show. Out of curiousity, I wanted to know when I can expect the english dub of season three after season three is released ? Cause I just prefer to watch this particular show in dub instead of sub. |

not 100% sure but i would guess the english dub would come out fairly quickly due to the popularity of the show and also funimantion having the rights to it.

Cause that would be like epic. I have no idea of how or in what way funimantion works in(forgive my ignorance)? Are they reliable ? I hope that they save up some of the loveless arc for a fourth season, cause that would enable them to focus just on the lagoon members and have a side story regarding something else-like Dutch's past-LOL. This is the only show that I can think of that is more badass that Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo. Even the soundtrack is more badass. |
