BOOM. Toonami is proud to announce our next acquisition, BLACK LAGOON! It’s time for some truly ADULT action to hit the block. BLACK LAGOON will begin airing on Saturday, March 22nd, replacing SOUL EATER, which will air its final episode the week before. For more info on the Black Lagoon, go here: http://www.funimation.com/shows/black-lagoon
And of course, we’ll see you on March 22nd, when the ass kicking begins!
Starts March 22nd and its either replacing Soul eater or Sword Art Online.
 
Looking forward to watching Black Lagoon with everyone in ToonamiGAF! Glad I held off on watching this on Netflix a few years back, it looks cool.
 
What was wrong with the dub?

nothing is wrong with the dub, in fact I find it superior to the original Japanese *shrugs*

anyways it's nice to see toonami get another quality show, but I am curious how much they are going to have to censor it to get it to air. I'm pretty sure Revy drops at least one F bomb per ep, wonder if they got her to say something else or if it will just be bleeped.
 
Maybe someday, CN will air a show about girls being polite to each other. Just for you.

Sick burn, except not really. Watching Black Lagoon was like reading a Liefeld comic with marginally better art

Anyway I see that I'm just shitting up this thread. I'll leave.
 
A good acquisition imo. The English dub of this show is so fucking hilarious.

Now, please give me my Inuyasha Final Act. Wtf is taking so long?
 
Well, those who really wanted this already own it on Blu-Ray. It's cheap enough.

lies, I own the original release that was going for $200 or so before funimation saved the series and rereleased it.

Thus I don't own it on blu ray, merely dvd (and since it's an older show getting it on blu ray is mostly pointless so I wont :P)
 
I know nothing about the show except for this, but definitely seems like a good change of pace from the big 3 shounen in front of it. I'm intrigued. Curious what they will do for the language. Bleeps can be amusing for a while but I could see them becoming annoying.

Let's be thankful Soul Eater wasn't replaced by Fairy Tail.

It's a Viz show. They'll never air it. The only anime they show anymore is whatever Funimation has licensed.

There's Bleach, Naruto, and OG Inuyasha on the tail of the block. Decent chances Final Act might jump in once Bleach ends or maybe they'll let OG Inuyasha have another full run. Also, I'll note that the Viz shows are steadily some of the best rating and Toonami has openly stated they have a good relationship with them.
 
Im guessing Toonami doesnt do the uncensored airing in the middle of the night airings like COmedy Central does once in awhile?

Otherwise, they will be bleeps
 
Black Lagoon seems to get better the more I see it. I've seen the series about three times now and I find myself enjoying it more and more. There's so many things to like about it. At its surface, it presents itself as a hardass, exploitative action show, but as the show progresses it starts to reveal an interesting core. The different relationships start to matter and suddenly you're caught up in all the mysteries, the powerplays, all the inner workings of Roanapur and Lagoon company is in the middle of it all.

Rock and Revy too. That relationship is hot stuff.

Part of me wants to call it one of the GOATs in all honesty. I love it and I'm glad Toonami is bringing it to new people. I wonder how they're going to handle the cursing haha

I sure hope so, bleeps would get really annoying really fast. But there's no precedent, it's going to be bleeps..
