“Black Lagoon,” a hit anime series in Japan, has garnered a dedicated fan base eagerly awaiting its third season. It’s been a staggering 17 years since the second season aired in 2006, and the anticipation is palpable. To date, “Black Lagoon” has two seasons, each featuring 12 episodes, produced by the renowned Madhouse studio. Additionally, there’s a 5-episode OVA titled “Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail,” released in 2011. Some fans consider this OVA as a sort of third season, but opinions vary. So, what’s the current status of “Black Lagoon Season 3”? We’re here to unpack the details!
Will There Be “Black Lagoon” Season 3?
Officially, there’s no confirmation yet. The chances seem slim, but not entirely off the table. The lack of a new season stems partly from the manga’s pace; there’s been limited new material in the past decade. This scarcity led to the creation of the OVA instead of a full season.
The manga, written and illustrated by Rei Hiroe, is still ongoing, though updates have been sporadic. The latest volume was released on August 19, 2021. If there were more consistent releases and sufficient material, we might have seen a season 3 by now. But as things stand, a new season seems unlikely.
For those yearning to know what happens next in the “Black Lagoon” saga, the manga is your best bet. The story continues beyond the OVA, so you can start with volume 10, which picks up after the events of the first two seasons and the OVA.
In Conclusion
To sum up, while the possibility of “Black Lagoon Season 3” remains a distant dream, the series has left an indelible mark on its fans. As of 2023, the series appears to be concluded in its anime format, but the manga journey continues. For the latest updates on this and other anime sequels, stay tuned!
