You know, it probably has its merits, but so does just about every creation out there. Glad you still enjoy it. For me, having seen nearly 500+ titles since the ’90s it’s really hard to just drop the cynicism.

Those pets that have surfaced in movies (starwars, anime fillers, you name it) is crap but that might be what young people likes to watch nowdays, I will never get why they add something that will make you remember something bad from the movie. They could have removed those two compleatly and no one would have missed them.

Watch it with someone who have not watched Slayers before (like a hot girlfriend) and you will enjoy the Anime a lot more. Tho she had a comment at the end; “Its his fault thousands died. And now lets forgive him? They should roast him alive”. Wich is a valid point.
Well, the only fun part with him and the pet were that they compleatly ripped of starwars lightsaber fight. I wish they could have made amelia eaven more of a fighter for justice wich were the only part they did not manage to copy from the old anime.

I was once a person so loyal to the slayers series. I didn’t like the movies/OAVs much, but I loved the series – loved it to bits.
So much so that I thought that making series was just their forte and they could do no wrong. That was what made it all the more disappointing to see such a series.

Don’t get me wrong. I will never damn Slayers, Slayers NEXT or Slayers TRY. Slayers is still my favourite anime, but after Glory or whatever it’s called comes out, they should just stop.

Viva, Slayers NEXT!

@ dm -well, stupid laughs do have their value, but not for long. That’s the reason I watched Slayers.

@ Shin-Getter – success is a mysterious formula as legendary as that alchemist spell. In other words, what worked then probably don’t work now.

@ Qwerty – yeah, the formula practically repeats for every Slayer, doesn’t it? Sometimes the shock value is what’s funny, but honestly, as the world has moved on, so have a lot of anime fans (otaku) from many places in the world.

Unless you’re a professional reviewer or enjoy watching anime as a duty, I’d go do something else if I were you.

Creation is without formula or form. Most will fail, some will succeed by luck that just happen to resonate for a time until it is exploited to the point of tiredness.

One glimpse at Revolution was enough for me, really.
