According to the jacket to the novel adaptation to the action manga, Black Lagoon, a third season of the anime is on its way to production. Black Lagoon’s story is centered around a group of mercenaries that operate in the seas of Southeast Asia. While the lead character is supposedly the Japanese salary man, Rock, the star of the show is clearly the ultra-hot, gun-toting Revy, who’s more likely to break your nose than hand you her phone number.

I’m quite excited about this announcement! The anime is a personal favorite of mine, in that it mixes just the right amounts of excessive violence and sexuality without suffering from being overly gratuitous. It also helps that she show doesn’t at all take itself very seriously, lining its mature story themes with satire of the action show genre.

FUNimation announced just recently that it plans to re-issue the first season as well as the previously canceled second season of the anime later this year, relieving Geneon if its North American distribution.
