Slayers Next - The Complete Second Season

What Slayers is supposed to be

Slayers NEXT is the second season to the 1995 TV Anime "The Slayers". Both seasons are based off novels written by Hajime Kanzaka. This season of Slayers is 26 episodes long, like the first one is. In my opinion, it has the perfect balance of comedy/seriousness, and every episode has memorable moments, even the filler episodes are 5 star quality.

This season introduces Xellos, the trickster priest. A favorite character among many Slayers fans. He has comical charm with his wacky antics, and at the same time a mysterious motive that will keep you wondering what it is he's really up to.

Watching this kept me wanting more and more, and I didn't stop watching until I reached the end.

Chances are, if you liked season 1, you will like this too. Maybe even more. I recommend this to anyone who likes the fantasy/comedy genres August 26, 2008

More Inverse...

If you're still interested in that flat chested, wildly acerbic child- errr Woman. and if you can indulge her in all those Dragon Slave explosions. Then this here is the treat for you! August 9, 2008

Best of the Slayers line

While I can't speak to any particular production issues that this release of Slayers: Next may have, I can say that it is absolutely my favorite season of anime, period. The mood of the show varies between dangerously silly (ie: The Macho Dragon Blood Battle Brothers bandit gang!) and deadly serious, with a more episodic quality improving the re-watchability of the component episodes. The humor of the series -- which really is the hallmark of the series -- translates fabulously from the japanese without relying on obnoxious fan-servicey behaviors. The production quality of the show is looking a bit dated (compared to, say, Samurai Champloo which was a surprisingly good show) but the writing is absolutely top-notch for an honest-to-goodness swords & sorcery adventure slug-fest.

FIREBALL!!!

The second season is even better than the first. Continuing the adventure with Lina is all you need. Just sitting in front of the TV watching this is all you need to do. April 13, 2008

Good, but not as good as the first...

Lina Inverse is back, with her Black Magic, her greedy heart and her grumbling tummy. Watch out, because she'll steal anything not nailed down and eat anything on the table. Now she fights for the good and the beautiful of the world. No, I'm joking. Things are never that simple and now, as she and her fellow comades team up to find a certain Bible they all want, they may also end up saving the world. Even if that's not the point!
Not as good as the first season but still good to add to your collection of comedy, fantasy, adventure anime. March 10, 2008
