It's like having a Second season of Cowboy Bebop, it's 10/10 on my awesomeness scale.

Still, what's this third season gonna be? Is it gonna re-enter the manga story (that at least to my knowledge hasn't gotten that far at all since the animes spinoff with fillereps around ep 15 or so)? Or is it just gonna be a bullshit story going totally off from the manga trail and into something new?
This is awesome but slightly annoying at the same time. Third Season is awesome, soon to be available second season DVDRips also awesome. However now I'll have to wait for third season DVDRips as wellMaybe by the time they come around Blu-Ray burning will be affordable and I can burn the whole thing on one disk.
Each season of Black Lagoon was only 12 episodes, so there's actually a fair amount of the season filled up by whatever current arc the scans are on. It's considerably longer than most of the arcs that have preceded it. I don't know how far it goes but it is at least twice as long as the Calamity Jane arc (the Indian girl persued by half of Roanapur, protected only by Black Lagoon and the swindling Eda) that appeared in Second Barrage.
That's at least six episodes right there, half of the season. Plenty of canon material.
Though I would not mind one of the omakes out of the manga volumes to appear in an episode (maybe a dream sequence after a night of really hard drinking). The one where they regress the ages of the characters (Rock & Eda as high school age, Balalaika in elementary, Revy as junior high age, etc.) was pretty funny.
...and Shinji, to my knowledge, there haven't been any filler episodes outside of the one visit to the Church of Violence and the market that left Revy and Rock in a police car together, sharing a light. The arcs have just been presented out of order.

Those were fillers? I thought they were good eps...
This is awesome news, can't wait for this to start back up. Might have to re-watch the series.
@Kraco - Those were some of my favorite episodes. If they keep the quality of this "filler" material up, then I would not mind at all.
Peace.
Third season, awesome news! Black Lagoon is really great, the story, setting, characters, I just love it all.
I might have to download the manga.
Great news. I think this is the best shoot 'em up anime ever made. Also the first two seasons didn't have enough Eda,

Hopefully this starts in the fall. ef and Black Lagoon in one season would be pure awesome.
This is sick! Damn I missed Revi.Gotta rewatch the first and second barrage.
Hell yes, I love the fact that they're taking their time to get it right instead of ruining it *cough* NarutoBleachClaymore.etc*cough*
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
Update:
Black Lagoon's 3rd Anime to be an OVA project, instead of a full television series.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...roject-in-2010
The August issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Sunday GX magazine will confirm on Saturday that the third Black Lagoon anime project will be an original video anime (OVA) project in 2010. Director Sunao Katabuchi will return from the first two Black Lagoon anime projects, along with character designer Masanori Shino and the Madhouse anime studio. Megumi Toyoguchi will reprise her role as the female pirate Revy. The story revolves around a typical Japanese businessman who gets caught up in the escapades of modern-day pirate mercenaries off the Asian shores.
Viz Media will publish the seventh volume of Rei Hiroe's original adventure manga next month. Geneon Entertainment released part of the Black Lagoon anime in North America, but Funimation has since agreed to take over distribution of the anime. Funimation reissued the first anime series and started the DVD release of the Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage series last August.
I find this a little strange, as the Dance of Death arc in the manga (which isn't even over to my knowledge) could fill 12 episodes with what they've released so far. Maybe we will be lucky and they will be uncensored 40 minute OVAs like Mnemosyne.
So, i have not yet seen this anime, but i plan to sometime in future, so i'm just wondering.. is there any sub-group that is releasing or has released this in 720p versions?
If not, whats the best quality available? (or perhaps someone has an ETA on any eventual HD releases? :P)

There are supposed to be Blu-ray versions of seasons 1 and 2 coming out, but they first set doesn't come out until late December.
There might be some mediocre upscales around, but DVD is the best source currently.
It's kind of a gray area since you're specifically asking about quality, but doesn't this kind of request belong in the Downloads section?
So i'm downloading season 1&2 1080p by "OZC Anime" at the moment, and i just thought i'd ask if anyone here has had any experience with that sub-group, are they good/bad?
1080p video quality is going to be awesome though

Goddamn! Love and miss both Revy and Roberta! =D
Haha. Yellow Flag is a real Hard Luck Cafe. I wonder if the owner dude still intends to rebuild it. Probably, no matter how much he always complains.
This looks like a fine season.
Why the "TV Edit".. is it censored in some way?
If so, is the non-edited version getting released by anyone? :P
