I'll probably get all that on Blu-ray at some point.

Me too. As long as they keep the same dub cast. If not... I still probably would, reluctantly.

So it's very possible that we may start to see Black Lagoon solicitation(s) for November. The release configuration will be interesting for the first two seasons. These are some possible configurations:

• Seasons 1 & 2 (DVD)
• Season 1 (Blu-ray)
• Season 2 (Blu-ray)

---

• Season 1 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo)
• Season 2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo)

---

• Seasons 1 & 2 (Blu-ray / DVD Combo)

I think the separate season Blu-ray / DVD Combo configuration is probably the choice. It would not surprise me if both seasons (regardless of configuration) gets solicited for the same month. And the best case scenario for Roberta's Blood Trail is probably December (if not early 2013).

Well, I would like to see a bundle like part 1 & 2 of Shana season 2 at TRSI.

Happy days! This has been a long-time coming, waiting for Black Lagoon BDs in the US. Can't wait to pre-order them.

Yeah, indeed. I want it so much.

I'll be getting the OVA on BD. I already have the Geneon DVD version for seasons 1 and 2 in those steel tin cases and not looking to upgrade to BD for those seasons. I'm hoping that they keep the Vancouver cast list for the OVA. Perhaps we will get that answer at Otakon.

I would have to know if the Season 1 & 2 BD difference in quality compare to the DVDs is good enough to buy them. Anyone know how the JP BDs for both first season were looking?
