does anyone know why this wasn't reviewed in the preview guide by anyone? as far as i'm aware it was the only series that didn't get one and since series where reviewed after it i can't think of a reason why

I think it started a bit late as some shows like Zetman and Space Bros are already on episode 3, while I think Jormugand has only had 1 episode so far. Also I think Funimation announced that they had licensed it and they were going to stream it, but they may just be a bit behind on putting it up.

edit: Its supposed to be on Nico Nico and Funimation's site according to news link. They both don't seem to have it up, so its probably delayed and this maybe the reason why it hasn't been reviewed yet.

yeah, ANN won't review a licensed show if there isn't a legal stream. They will review a fansub of of a show that doesn't have an announced license yet- but only one episode. That's why there were reviews of the Lupin III show and Sankarea before Funimation's stream, because they reviewed it before Funimation announced that they had licensed them. Jormungand didn't have an episode available before the license anouncement.

Another wonderful episode with the addition of another female character. Have to say that the music/OST of this series is one of the best I've heard this Spring Season so far.

I love how Koko's eyes become black circles of Hell when she's pissed off. Frankly, I think it was too early in the series to have a spoiler["this is the one where we talk our way out of everything instead of fighting"] episode, but hey, that's just me. At least we got it out of the way and now, hopefully, spoiler[can return to watching the team kick-ass and blow shit up] on a constant basis.

I don't know what's in those black boxes, but even if it's a bad thing, I want to. Hurry the Hell up, FUNImation!

Yea, Koko is loco but that Mildred is more-so.

I think its turning into my favorite of the season so far with Space Bros a close second. I hope Funi puts it streaming soon otherwise Bamboo might not get to it on The Stream.

OH YOU.

Uh, anyway. Well, this show is no Black Lagoon, but it definitely has potential. I don't really like the character designs or the heavy use of CG that much, though. And their MO for selling weapons sent up "wallow in pretentious bullshit" warning flags. Will see how it pans out, it might be a keeper, might be a stinker.

I think that's a dojinshi.

Nope. This is a official crossover story written by the author for the Black Lagoon Artbook - The Book of Venom.

Valmet would die of jealousy if she saw that pic of little Koko with her arms wrapped around Revy's leg...

Yeah... I would like to have a translation, just to figure out what's going on there. I looks like it might be adorable, but I'm not sure if adorable would be out of place or utterly perfect.

Given Koko's personality, I can totally imagine her having an onee-chan worship thing going on with the most Bad-ass Chick of them all.
