The one in the "anime with topics" was dead. SO here it is.

So, when are they going to release the second OVA?

I would suggest Black Lagoon to someone who hasn't seen anime but enjoys John Woo or other action movies, as it lacks most of the artistic cliché (sweatdrops, etc.) of anime.

I wish Benny was shown more.

My favorite arc was Greenback Jane. It was pretty cool watching each of the various creeps fight. Also, it's rather sad to admit, but I found the Hansel and Gretel arc LESS creepy than I thought it would be based on the trope page.

Balalaika is awesomeness incarnate (which you could probably infer from my avatar).

Indeed. Revy can be entertaining as well.

So, dub or sub?

So, what kind of spoiler policy are we going for here? It's sounding like some of you are mostly familiar with the anime and OV As, which aren't really as far along as the manga.

So, dub or sub?

The dub's awkward, but it's better than random gratuitous Engrishu in the sub. Plus, Balalaika's moments are a lot better.

My favorite arc was Greenback Jane.
Then it might interest you that the next manga arc after "El Baile de la Muerte"/"Roberta's blood trail" is basically a sequel to Greenback Jane.

And it's awesome.

I've just watched the DVD cut of the first episode of the OVA. The few added scenes work very nicely, indeed. Although it now seems like Chang is teleporting around.

Necro. For Great Justice.

Does anyone have the full version of the final chapter of El Baile de la Muerte? All I can find is the edited GX magazine version, which is a Hell of a lot less satisfying.

So did he shoot the American with a blank? Because he had to manually cock it each time

Well he's talking about WWII when the Chinese bomb pearl harbor and they commuted suicide by running their planes into the ship.

I've recently started watching it at the recommendation of Ben Thompson of badassoftheweek.com.

I have to say I like it a lot. I like all of the main characters.

Have yet to see the OVA.

Pretty much.

Dub.

OVA as in the omakes or the one with the maid chick? Revvy as a magical girl is just mind shatteringly horrifying.

I just had a dream last night where I was Rock trying to explain to Revy and Balalaika why the idea of having sex with either of them has the same effect on my libido as sticking my penis into a pencil sharpener.

Dub, revy sounds better, Brad Swaile was awesome as rock (esp. in the scene where rock yells at revy for being such a cold hearted bitch.

So, the OVAS are out, and I am amazed. Especially by Dutch's library. Who would have thought?

Also, Roberta the Bloodhound is chasing Grey Fox. This makes her a Foxhound
