The anime has a reputation it has to live up to and adopting a subpar manga would just downgrade the standard it has set with the first two seasons. There were a few new arcs of the manga in 2018 but overall, they were no good. I’m sure the creators would love to come up with a new season but the problem is that the source material of the anime has been on a hiatus for a very long time. ‘Black Lagoon’, has since then disappeared but not forgotten and die-hard fans of the anime still look forward to another season. Next in was an OVA about 4 years later in 2010 that had 5 special episodes. ‘Black Lagoon’ Season 1 first aired from Apto June 25th of the same year, which was followed by a second season that released on and ended its run on Dec 19, 2006. Action fan or not, I believe that ‘Black Lagoon’ will bring something really new to your table that no other shounen ever has.īlack Lagoon Season 3 Release Date: When will it premiere? But apart from the few minor shortcomings here and there, every anime lover should at least once give this one a shot. Sure, like any other anime, ‘Black Lagoon’ is not perfect and has its own flaws, which include its sluggish animation and also the unnecessary fan service right in the middle of certain action scenes. But ‘Black Lagoon’ takes a path of its own and travels to a never-seen-before location: South China Sea. It is indeed a no-brainer that most anime come from Japan, so they’re bound to use a medium that is more convenient for their primary audience. Nevertheless, I always appreciate if an anime decides to step out of that Japanese set up and takes a bold move towards something new. One big reason why I started watching anime was because of my obsession with Japanese culture. But if I have to use just one word to define ‘Black Lagoon’, it would be “refreshing”.

Many a time, experienced anime viewers tend to avoid anime series that are too action-oriented because these turn out to be the same shounen shows we’ve been watching since ages. Throughout its entire runtime of about 10 hours, you get to see a whole lot of gunslinging action along with some overwhelming scenes where boats fly and shoot out torpedos to destroy helicopters. The action in ‘Black Lagoon’ is more or less like the love child of ‘John Wick’ and ‘The Matrix’ on steroids.
Studio Madhouse often lives up to its name and is responsible for creating several popular anime series like ‘Death Note’, ‘One Punch Man’, ‘ Overlord‘ and many others. The studio responsible for creating ‘Black Lagoon’ is Madhouse and that name alone will get you all hyped up about the show. From the free-flowing dialogues and sharp accents to solid voice acting with nearly perfect character mannerisms, ‘Black Lagoon’ gives us one of the best English Dubbing that has ever graced the world of anime. I have never really talked about the effectiveness of English Dubs in any of my anime reviews/previews before, but in this case, it just feels necessary. ‘Black Lagoon’ is one of those few anime series that goes against the common norm and shows that even the English Dub of an anime can be a speckless piece of art. But every once in a while, an English Dub of an anime series comes along and proves to be so unbelievably immaculate that I am forced to defy my own so-called “principles”. I’ve had my own reasons for this and I know that there are many others like me out there. No, I do not speak Japanese and yes, I would rather spend most of my time reading the subtitles than watching the actual show.
I’m one of those few people who would any day prefer the original anime instead of an English Dub.
