That sucks, it'll probably only be a couple of episodes. Here I was hoping for and expecting another 12 ep TV series. Gay.

Roberta's revenge chapter is a bit verbose for a TV series. I think OVA is a good choice.

You didn't read it did you. There WILL be a third season. The fact that it will be an OVA is probably due to the Roberta's revenge chapter.

Me, I'm hoping for a full 24 episode OVA series.

Nice, a confirmation of the news and with images from de magazine :D

By the way, in the title of the last chapters, Death in spanish is Muerte, so you need to put together the syllable "mu erte" ;)

With the exception of the Twins arc.

So we get a more bloody and raunchier season which is great, hopefully this "season" won't be shorter than 13 episodes at least.

Really? I thought the twins arc was average. Too unrealistic and kind of dumb compared with (most of) the other arcs. The last arc of the second season was the best, while the rest was average.

I'm hoping there's more Dutch and Benny in the third season. I need my big black man back. =/

Well it's a logical choice seeing the Roberta revenge arc, and the blu-ray release is super good news, but I hoped for a 12 ep long series.

Anyway, let's hope there will be 4-6 eps released as OVA.

Awh, 2010? Getting us too excited beforehand. D:
It seems like none of the good series are making it past a second season anymore? They all end up making the third as an OVA...It's understandable but still makes us sad D:
Bleed for me.

The Japan (last) arc was pretty boring (shoot outs wasn't really impressive. and that yakuza cuting bullets, oh please...), and took 6 episodes. How can it be best? I consider it to be the worst in the whole series...

Twins arc was good, might be unrealistics, but the first (and other parts second) season got it's share of "unrealistic" stuff too, so it doesn't count.

In 2nd season I liked the second arc the most. That's just kick ass action!

But yeah, a serious lack of Dutch and Benny in the 2nd season. Should be fix'd up. They're some sort of a team afterall.

I think its because its probably cheaper to animate and then broadcast a show in a 3 episode ova (guess) spread out sporadically in a couple months time than to animate a complete show that gets broadcast once every week. I may be speaking from lack of experience but the only time this sort of thing worked out perfectly for me was in Hellsing Ultimate.

Question: Is season 1 and 2 on blu-ray going to be an upscale like FMP and Eureka Seven or will it actually be re-edited and such so it will be made into actual high def?

They said the two series were originally produced in HD. so it's not upscale.

OVAs have the potential to be great. All that needs to be animated is one story arc anyways, so think of it as a Tsuiokuhen-esque type of deal.

But yeah, I agree that El Baile de la Muerte would have been way too violent to have been animated normally. Looking forward to reading how it ends in October!

Yeah I would have liked a complete third season but to have an OVA is at least some good news. Hopefully, more animes make it past 2 seasons. Wish there was a way to make it possible for anime/manga creators to be able to produce their respected mediums in a manner that allowed them to complete them. Oh wells!

What to you mean. Aren't OVA' s even worse for that? Because they only have a few episodes to show a whole story?

Actually I guess you're right. It's been a while since I've seen it, so I forgot about things like Yakuza cutting bullets in half, and I can't remember the second arc of season two at all.

Exactly! They are a team, and there was much more of that 'team effort' feel in the first season, which I thought made it more unique and well, more interesting.

If there is going to be a third season next too the OVA its gonna take a hell of a long time to be made.Since the black lagoon manga is so slow.

darn, I were hoping for 12 regular eps in the 3rd season, and then in the 4th and the 5th and so on... BL could never end for me.

BTW, I'm actually suprised that some of you seem to complain about the lack of realism in the 2nd season - I'd say that Lagoon was never reallistic right from the very beginning. Is there much difference between boats jumping to send torpedoes onto a helicopter and a swordsman cutting a bullet in half?

Just read in an article that the reason that its going to be an OVA is that the manga is being released at a slower rate and that a 3rd Black Lagoon season would overtake the manga.

Well, hopefully this means that the OVA is just temporary until the actual manga catches up to deliver a 3rd season or more OVAs to complete the story. HOPEFULLY!

The manga is going at a snail's pace.This is to be expected of course.
