Thread 279837952

Black lagoon is back on July

Is he over his depression, or is it hxh where he comes back for two chapters and fucks off

>>279837952 (OP)
Man, where is the plot now even. Last BL stuff I've watched/read was Roberta's OVA and that veered off the manga iirc.

>>279838282
hotel rusia vs mexico cartel

>>279838282
Rock and Revy have a cute kouhai that follows them around

>>279838282
After Roberta's Blood Trail, it was the Wired Red Wild Card, which was pretty alright, after that it was the thing with the French agents, and there's an arc about Hotel Moscow facing off with some beaner syndicate.

It's not been bad, but the release schedule is somewhat tortuous. A bit like Roberta's Blood Trail, really, which is a much more enjoyable read when you aren't being so slowly fucking drip-fed, and with the manga volumes having some of the meddling undone.

>>279837952 (OP)
This shit is still going?

>>279839463
A thread died for Revy's sins. Pray the next bullet misses.

>>279839579
No I mean the series, not these threads.
I watched the anime years ago and just went
>Okay, I guess they're ending the show with a teenager swallowing a samurai sword...

>>279839325
WRWC is a great arc with a solid closure unlike roberta blood trail.

>>279837952 (OP)
Nice!

>>279839325
So it delivers but the release schedule is a nightmare?

>>279840755
A bit.

>>279840755
To elaborate, it does deliver, but the release schedule has a lot of delays and gaps in it over time.

Handholding with Roberta.

>>279839815
I somewhat hated RBT when it was running, but the next time I read it, it went in one go, and I actually found it very satisfying and enjoyable when I could read all of it right away.

I don't get why the author doesn't end the story proper and then just do small stories here and there as like full ass content drops.

>>279842768
I re read it last year with the storytime, the run is great until the closure. Its sucks

For Roberta's Blood Trail, I only ever had these issues with it:
>drawn out release schedule
>editor meddling which further drew out the release schedules
>editor meddling that also made some parts less easy to follow and understand properly (thankfully fixed in the volumes)
>OVA adaption arbitrarily decides that Roberta gets crippled for some reason
>OVA adaption also omits Sawyer's best scene

>>279843034
>arbitrarily decides that Roberta gets crippled for some reason
Because it doesn't really make sense the shit she went through and then "band aids solve everything!" and she's magically perfectly fine.

>>279843034
They wanted to make a more realistic approach and that approach doesnt make sense with roberta lol

Also i would add the moments when Hiroe drop a background song to elevate the atmosphere but the anime remove it for copyroghr obviously

>>279843034
>>279843382
Terminator maid deserved to keep her limbs. How is anime Roberta supposed to snu snu Garcia without all her arms and legs?

>>279842963
>>279843480

>>279843660
Since it's a ruski vs beaner arc I better see a lot more of my favorite Russian.

>>279843720
If we get some more chapters regularly we should get a fair amount of Bala art. Can't wait to see her deport all these new beaners out of Roanapur.
>>279843737
I'd kill to see her in more uniforms.

>>279843825
Kek!

MAKE RAENAPOUR GREAT AGAIN

>>279843796
She really needs more doujinshi. The only good one is that Azasuke one.

>>279843927
>YOU TELL YOUR MEXICAN FRIENDS. YOU TELL YOUR MEXICAN FAMILY. THAT THEY BETTER STAY IN MEXICO. YOU TELL EVERYBODY SOUTH OF THE BORDER, THEY BETTER STAY SOUTH OF THE BORDER, BECAUSE ON THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER.... Sofiya Pavlovna Irinovskaya will be waiting....
>>279844013
She needs more love for sure.
>>279844047
Perky!

>>279843480
God I love her!
Our girl will crush the Mexicans

>>279844201
She's a woman not a girl

>>279844201
The day that they injure or kill one of her men will also be the same day Roanapur's first gulag will be opened.
>>279844254
She's our queen.

This series never regained it's momentum after Roberta's arc. Another anime arc could probably do wonders for regaining it's popularity, fucking hell it has been so long though and the OG years of Madhouse are gone.

>>279844286
Balalalalalaiaka is going to catapult Juan into the sea.

>>279844308
I just want one new OVA....

>>279844201
>Our girl will crush the Mexicans
she can crush my mexican face with those tits

>>279844325
No mercy will be shown.
>>279844362
She'll use those tits to deport your ass to heaven.

Roberta’s arcs were bland and uninteresting, they turned everyone into horror movie victims just trying to avoid her instead of being more proactive like fits their characters, I’m glad Hiroe signed off on making her a crippled nugget, thus making that the canon outcome of the arc

>>279837952 (OP)
Eeeh.
If it gets an anime I'll watch it but the manga got worse the longer it went. Just constant jerking off the different factions and random shitty side characters for dozens of chapters, I don't think the author understood the initial appeal.

>>279839325
Roberta's Blood Trail was 10x longer than it needed to be and that's the running theme with this manga.

>>279844395
The following arc is even more boring

>>279844533
Fuck off, next arc is better than roberta

>>279843101
It's anime. Dual wielding pistols already does not make sense.

>>279844452
It's not that long.

>>279844533
I liked it.

>>279844308
>Another anime arc could probably do wonders for regaining it's popularity.
The Wired Red Wild Card would be enough for a season of anime.

>>279837952 (OP)
This wasn't cancelled?

>>279837952 (OP)
>>279839463
I hate that current anon, never knows anything, there are several manga on hiatus and other popular manga with very slow translations

>>279837952 (OP)
Is this manga all guns and actions?
No plot whatsoever right?

>>279846702
I'm afraid there is in fact a story

Is this a series that might finish or is the series in a HunterxHunter/Vagabond level purgatory ?

I’m so fucking sick of Hotel Moscow. The french girls were the last straw.

Volume 06 should be ready by early July.

>>279847078
There's no real overarching direction or goal to move toward outside of whatever mission the current arc is about so it really does seem like it'll just go on forever until Hiroe croaks.

>>279837952 (OP)
Literally who cares by this point?

>>279848593
Me.

>>279842917


Because you don't want to give a shitty ending

>>279844463


I don't get how/why they make a woman more badass than Revy and give her a ton of screen time

>>279837952 (OP)
If berserk and hxh come back or get definitely axed the world ends

>>279848609
Well fuck you too

The only thing I remember from the anime was that it seemed like Rock was going down a dark path and not eh other side of the coin, Revy may have been becoming a Better person.
Is the author playing with that idea or am I wrong?

>>279848898
youre right

>>279848898
The other important thing is it turns out Revy was idealizing and holding up Rock as a Genuine Good Person and it upset her to see him becoming corrupted by the nature of their world.

>>279849175
>>279849043
Hmmm, then I think an end is pretty clear. Rocks goes full dark part of criminal society, Revy wants to move on, easy emotional and ideological conflict. Just depends on when the author wants to write it.

>>279844424
You can tell Hiroe got older and softer as the manga went on, not helped with his depression.
Current arc is hyping up the spic cartel, so maybe there's a small, small chance of a bloodbath on the protags' side.

>>279848455
Nah this is the same as Durarara, the protagonist is the city and the characters are just reactive actors that act in way in front of new things that came to the city.

>>279842738
>>279842853
We almost got this.

>>279849328
>almost

The story sworn end before we get the RR sex chapter

>>279837952 (OP)
The fuck? After all this time I’d rather it not be continued, never heard of any kind of story that’s ended well after being resumed with a hiatus.

>>279849808
This, the author justs loses their spark if the story isn't finished in a reasonable timespan.

>>279849808
This hiatus is nothing for Hiroe. Wired Red Wild Card arc took 8 years to complete.

>>279849328
Garcia hard at work comforting Roberta after her psychotic break. It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it.

>>279849328
Hiroe needs to give us more of this.
>>279850719
I'm sure Roberta will award him for his kindness many times throughout their lives together.

garcia and fabiola were trash
