On Toonami's official Tumblr page, an announcement has been made that Toonami will begin to air Black Lagoon. The series will begin airing March 22, 2014, replacing Soul Eater.

The Black Lagoon anime originally aired back in April 2006 with a second season airing back in October 2006.

They are gonna censor that shit, fucking called it. The whole arc in season 2 involving exploitation films is definitely getting cut.

90% of the show will be censored. No F bombs, no crude humor, and what titties is in the show will be out the window. Why? Funi?
Glorious Titties Nuff Said!

Yes! Looks like I'll be rewatching for like the fifth time. It's a shame that they'll probably censor all of the 'fucks'. Revy's gonna be beeping every two seconds, lol.

I have mixed feelings about this. I am glad that Black Lagoon is airing on TV but it will be very censored like Scarface and Casino.

I imagine Revy calling Rock "dipstick" in the Toonami edit. I also imagine Revy shouting "friggen" a lot in the Toonami edit. Maybe the Toonami version will be just as funny as the TV version of Scarface.

Toonami didn't censor "shit" when Akira and Summer Wars were airing.

I would say probably not. If it is your first time watching it I would try to watch it on the Funimation website if you can. Toonami will have a pretty heavy censor on the show so it might not to best to watch it on there while the Funimation site won't.

I have never seen the dubbed version of Black Lagoon yet but I might give it a chance in the future when it airs on Toonami.

On another note, I imagine season 3 might debut in the future when there is more material to be animated.

Dipstick? Friggen? Public television censors profanity, not alter it.

FUCK! I saw "Black Lagoon" in the New section so for a second I thought we were getting a new season... disappointing :\.

But really, Toonami? They are going to have to censor A LOT of stuff. I suggest people watch the uncensored dub rather than this.

Hopefully the censorship isn't ridiculous.

Well hopefully it doesn't get censored too much. The charm of Black Lagoon is how gritty it is.

Going to be censored to hell, kinda hoping for something relatively new to be picked up already. So far since it began airing back in 2012, it's only picked up airing licenses for 2 shows that had been aired in Japan within a year. All these older shows are great, but I've already watched them! :(

To those complaining about censorship: Some foul language can get by the censors while others will get bleeped. Violence gets by perfectly fine. Crude humor gets by perfectly fine. Nudity will be censored. Things will most likely be kept almost intact, but with lots of bleeps.

Anyways, looking forward to this. Never seen Black Lagoon.

Why not make a new anime named Bleep Lagoon? Black Lagoon is Black Lagoon because of it's crude conversation yet Toonami would probably take away one of this anime's greatest assets.

Most they'll bleep out are f-words since "shit" has been allowed to air since Akira was shown. If anything, the bleeps will make it more hilarious. Besides, I seem to remember Deadman Wonderland doing just fine despite the censors.

Anyways, long story short, another great pickup for Toonami.

guys the only thing that will get censored are the F-bombs, if youv seen how toonami handled akira you can rest easy about them censoring the violence, crude humor, and among other things

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Love the show, but we'll probably never be able to understand what Revy is saying because of all the beeps they'll have to put in.

Still, looking forward to seeing Rock, Dutch, and Balalaika again.

This is exactly what came to mind upon reading about this. Been a few years since I last saw the series, but I sure as hell remember the stuff about those twins. You have to ask yourself whether or not they know what the hell they're going to be airing before they actually air it.

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.
