Black Lagoon Abridged

Black Lagoon Abridged

Project Overview

Hello! We are Botch Brigade, a YouTube channel dedicated for abridged anime parodies. We are in the process of creating Black Lagoon Abridged, a new abridged parody based on the action anime. Currently at this time, we have three episode scripts already written out and in the process of writing the fourth episode script.

What Is This Project?


Black Lagoon Abridged is an abridged parody that condenses the anime of Black Lagoon and adds comedic flair to the anime while giving the story a good once through. We are covering only the first 12 episode season but could return for the second season. This will be a non-profit work, and as such, this project is for fun and no roles are paid. Our primary and only method of communication is our community Discord, a link to which is provided in our YouTube description. On our Discord, there we will be posting community/project updates, links to current scripts, as well as other important information.

Episodes tend to have a 4 to 5 month production schedule, not including shorts/filler episodes, so expect to be recording for episodes every 3 to 4 months. While we have set deadlines for line submissions, we understand that other life priorities may take hold first and foremost and we are more than willing to accommodate for that.

Before You Audition & Requirements
  • You must be at least 18 to audition for our project.

  • To clarify from before, you must have a Discord as this will be our primary and only method of communication. Cast members will be given a role in the server to access private channels for scripts, line submissions, editing updates, and more.

  • While we aren't picky about mics, please make sure that background noise and any editing/post processing is kept to a minimum.

  • Understand what you're getting into, as our abridged parody contains coarse language and adult humor. On top of that, the anime does have some heavy subject matter too.

  • Please provide at least 3 takes of each line for the audition.

  • Be prepared. This will be a multi-year (aiming for three years at the earliest, but could be four years, five years at the absolute maximum) project with a goal of releasing 2-3 episodes per year.

  • Be respectful. You will be interacting with a team of editors, voice actors and writers. Be courteous and show respect to your fellow cast and crew. Should you deviate, we will promptly remove you from the role.

  • Have fun! This is a abridged series full of goofy lines and characterization. Make sure to have fun with the role you audition for and make it your own on top of that.

  • If you have any questions, please comment and I'll try to answer them!
