YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
This is my favorite anime ever. Sucks that I'm no longer interested in anime now the same way I was when I was younger but I'm so hype this is coming on. Saturday became awesome again.

If you want an actual good show about magic and adventure and wizards, then you want Magi.

READY THE CENSORS, BOYS!
Seriously, though. It's a pretty solid series. Roberta's Blood Trail was a bit silly, but the 1st season and Second Barrage are good. I'm gonna watch it on Toonami just to see how much they cut. I think that's probably why they hadn't pursued Black Lagoon in the past, but I don't know why they would have changed their minds now.

what? the sub-titled version had parts where the japanese voice actor spoke in horrible , horrible english because her back story was she was from NYC. ever seen the show? poor soul.
Agree...it's different from what you might expect.
I also like how after every arc
Rock falls deeper into madness.

Dub Balalaika is the only Balalaika. I waited years for Roberta's Blood Trail to be dubbed before watching it.

Toonami has explained several times including ok the air in a q&a session that subbed anime on live tv tanks in the ratings the vast majority of the viewing audience turns it off.

Nothing. Unless you're one of those people.
Most anime fans are kind of weird.
I damn near gave one a heart attack for complementing their shirt.

I've been aware of this anime for years, but I probably never gave it a fair chance since it seemed like just one of those mindless, overly-violent shows without much substance. This thread seems to hint that maybe it's not, and that intrigues me. I will surely give this one a go when it airs.
Haven't been able to get into that many Toonami/Adult Swim anime in the past. Last one I guess I really loved was Moribito. Oh, and FMA Brotherhood. But with the new revived Toonami, I am really digging them. Their December movie month was great.
SAO was not my cup of tea, nor does Blue Exorcist (which will replace it) seem like it will be either. Soul Eater was too weird for me. I still like Bebop, I'm just waiting on the Blu Rays. Space Dandy is no Bebop, but it's entertaining and gorgeous.
Hopefully they show Attack on Titan soon. Or if they're going for older series, then they should definitely show Claymore.

Good man here.
Last time I watched boondocks they were using racist slurs with abandon. So..not much?

It'll be bleeped just like Deadman Wonderland. I doubt Turner is going to shell out money for the rights to Black Lagoon and redub the entire series.
Attack on Titan is one of the most requested shows, I'm sure they'll do everything in their power to aquire it once a dub is announced. I think it would do well as a Space Dandy replacement.
Yes, ratings slide whenever subs air on television.

Holy shit at people defending this dub you people are seriously complaining about the what? five? sentences in those two episodes Revy speaks in English? Jesus. The English voice actors, Revy (one of the worst voice performances I have ever heard) especially totally change the tone and delivery of the lines.
Episode 7 spoilers.

So much wrong in these posts. You're allowed to have preferences, but the dub is awesome.
Not everyone wants to keep up with reading subtitles for 6 hours in the middle of the night. I know I wouldn't, and I like both sub/dub.
Anyway I haven't seen Black Lagoon yet. I look forward to March.

Subs are niche on live TV, and as dubs go this is one of the few that can outdo the original Japanese dub depending on your tastes. The vast majority of the mainstream TV viewing audience doesn't want subs.
Revy's VA actually comes off ok-much better then she could've been 10-20 some years ago.
Can't stand that purist bullshit. Most dubs today are nowhere near as bad as the downright low budget, amateurish stuff we had to endure before anime got popular here.

Lets not turn this into a sub v dub debate, guys. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but try not to attack other viewers preferences.
I'm OK with the dubbed versions of shows being played on TV. I just wish anime on Netflix provided both subs and dubs.
Black Lagoon is probably one of my three favorite anime shows of all time, but I don't really have a reason to watch it on TV considering I own the BDs. I hope Toonami gets it a bunch of new fans. I also agree that the relationship between Rock and Revy is one of the best parts of the show, and people who see it as a mindless action show are missing the point.

I've never understood the dub vs sub debate mentality. Why not just watch the version you prefer and let others watch which version you prefer?
Never does. That whole debate is quite laughable.

also if memory serves Revy moves from deadpan psychopath to angered yankee gangster girl talk in Japanese so it's not the biggest range. Rock is the best example of acting in both languages.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Ofcourse theres a dub vs sub argument.
Of course.
Sub vs Dub arguments have always been stupid. Just be happy more people are going to be able to enjoy the show.

Dialogue in a language I understand is better than dialogue in a language I don't. I can look at the animation! I can watch the action! No subtitle reading required!
So unless the dub is a trainwreck (which it's not -- the youtube clips don't work for me, but I'm pretty sure I know what episode that is, and it was great in the dub), I'll take the dub, thank you

I favor Eng dubs over jp dubs in general, but I thought the excellent Black Lagoon dub was appreciated even by those who otherwise might for whatever reason eschew Eng dubs.

You don't watch a lot of subs, do you? I can understand prefering dub, but people who watch a lot of subs really have no problem with looking at action and animation despite reading the lines.
