Edsel Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Re: Black Lagoon HERO I finally got around to watching the dub of the first two episodes. The voices were not as bad as I had feared. Revvy sounds okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that in-store. I believe it is on-line only. A 3-disc set for $34.99. Is that a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a good deal? For either twelve or fourteen episodes (depending on whether they included the OVAs)? Good enough that I seriously want it.

Remjin Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Re: Black Lagoon HERO All I know is that there is not a third season, proper, but an OAV series that is acting as the third installment. What an OAV is, exactly, I'm not sure... but I presume it to be like a mini-series so that they aren't necessarily doing them per tv season and all that. I don't think its here in America yet, but I believe its already aired in japan already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remjin Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Re: Black Lagoon HERO ah... and so I understand anime a tiny bit better now. =) I'm one of those "casual" fans. I'm not way into it, but I do enjoy a few of them. A vast majority just aren't my cup of tea. Obviously, Black Lagoon is one that I've enjoyed quite a bit.

Remjin Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Re: Black Lagoon HERO Anime comes in all genres. Black Lagoon just so happens to be in a genre easily accessible to Western fans. Yes, I realize. I was even in an anime club in college. I generally stay away from all the cutesy stuff and mostly enjoy the fantasy, sci-fi, & modern genres along with mash-ups between them. I occasionally enjoy the funnier/sillier stuff, depending on what it is. Like, I own quite a few Miyazaki films, the Appleseed stuff, Battle Angel, Record of Lodoss Wars, some Dragon Half, Black Lagoon, Ghost in the Shell, Macross Plus and others. I've enjoyed quite a few series via Netflix and others, including Samurai Champloo, Rouroni Kenshin, Blood, and... and I'm realizing I don't remember the titles to a lot of stuff I've seen. I remember watching Black Jack, El Hazard, Bastard, and enjoying those... *shrug* There have been a lot, I just don't remember them, and there are some I wish I could erase from my brain but they can't be unseen. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Re: Black Lagoon HERO OAV = Original Animated Video. Basically it means "direct to DVD." But not with the same stigma that direct to DVD bears in America. Here, a direct-to-DVD movie is usually one that is considered too poorly-done or ludicrous to be worth the bother of sending to theaters (Megashark vs, Giant Octopus, for example.) In Japan, an OVA generally means something that is, for whatever reason, not desirable to show on Japanese TV but which can still be of very high quality. The "special" Slayers episodes featuring Naga the White Serpent (or "Naga the Fish-**** depending on your point of view), for example, are generally considered very funny but the series is too short for TV. The cyberpunk classic Bubblegum Crisis is another example -- too violent for the TV of the time but very much a serial story. OVA episodes are also released in support of a series that is broadcast, frequently as extras for the DVD release. Disney has become notorious for making innumerable direct-to-DVD sequels to theatrical films, done on the cheap and with a very poor reputation. Warner Brothers DC Universe line (not necessarily DC Animated Universe) has released some pretty good direct-to-DVD films and some poor ones.
