Black Lagoon in 5.1
Anime Relations:
Black Lagoon, Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage
Black Lagoon, the Second Barrage is being released now that Funimation has taken over Geneon's distribution and marketting licence for the series, and I'm annoyed.
Why? Because I really liked BL. Liked it enough to buy it, and I'd also like to hear it in the 5.1 audio I hear is so good... But I don't want to hear it in English. I watch Black Lagoon subbed.
Yes, the Black Lagoon DVDs give you an English audio track in both 5.1 and 2-channel sound. But the Japanese track is only in normal stereo. Why do they do this? Is there even a reason to include 2.0 audio tracks when you have a 5.1 version? Modern DVD players and stereo receivers will downmix 5.1 if they need to. But more than that, I'd just like some feature parity between the differnet languages. Like a multi-angle opening. You had to get the Limited Edition S1/V1 DVD to get the Japanese opening credits.
