And what probability?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the present time there are no known plans in Japan for more Black Lagoon anime. Very dark, gritty and violent anime targeted at young adult viewers typically appeal to a rather small audience in Japan, which explains why these type of programs usually aren&#8217;t very long. Tehxnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Berserk, Elfen Lied, Cowboy Bebop, Black Blood Brothers, Witchblade, Gilgamesh, Innocent Venus, Tokyo Majin Gakuen, Tokko, and Speed Grapher, to name a few, all serve as examples of grim and mature anime series that total roughly 13 to 26 total episodes and show little or no sign of being continued or revived.<\/p>\n<p>While anime of this variety is often popular with international viewers, the primary audience for new anime productions remains Japanese, so if Japanese viewers aren&#8217;t interested in seeing more of these shows, there&#8217;s little chance of Japanese animators and producers investing the time, effort, and money into continuing them.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is relevant to note that there are dark, violent, and suspenseful anime franchises that have been successful, for example, Death Note and Hellsing. My personal instincts urge me to believe that a new Black Lagoon anime series is highly unlikely; however, since the manga series is still ongoing and the franchise is still relatively recent and popular, I can&#8217;t completely discount the possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Hello I from Russia me strongly interest a question on anime the Black Lagoon there will be its continuation?
