Roberta's Blood Trail sparked interest in the show once again, and in the US, Funimation picked up the rights to the OVA and the first two series too. Roberta's Blood Trail, a 5 episode OVA that continues the adventures of the Black Lagoon crew was released in Japan, and to go alongside the Blu-ray release of that series, the original 24 episodes were re-mastered for high definition release. A lot of fans missed out, and it's been pretty much out of print ever since. That would normally take 3 or four years, but MVM put Black Lagoon through its lifecycle in half the time, going from six single volumes, to two series collections, to one Complete Barrage boxset in little more than eighteen months, and it sold out really quickly. Licenses have a typical duration, allowing for a set lifetime of releases for a show, and back in the mid 2000s, that was from single volume release to collections, to budget. It meant that when the show did get to MVM, they had a shorter window than usual to release it.

The first time around, MVM released it in the UK, both the first series and the Second Barrage. Introduction You may be surprised to see Black Lagoon back on UK shop shelves, but it's a very welcome return for this action show, an anime that stands above its peers in terms of content, character and sheer balls to the wall attitude.
