or give us a filler of gourry past ( he is the only character that do not have any )
I mean, COME ON!

Well, they established most of Lina's weaknesses or fears in the last episode, with one glaring exception. Points to whomever can guess what that is exactly.

Did anyone else feel like "Inspector" Wizer is inspired by, or even parodies, Lieutenent Columbo from the Tv series (played by Peter Falk) what with the trenchcoat, seemingly silly questions, playing the fool, and with the "just one more question"?

Xellos really has bad taste...treating the whole battle as entertainment - popcorn!!!

Well she was a little tied up at the moment

. Oh yes the good old "that time of the month" problem. I can't recall, but has that even been an issue in the series other than during that part of season 1?

Nope. Never mentioned again. It's a real shame.

The revolution atmosphere along with well, the filler mood, made the fight seem kind of gimp in comparison to his other battles in past seasons. The music wasn't bad, but it's real generic and hasn't been changed so far in this season, but more importantly was how the background tone was. It wasn't very dark or what not. Like when Zel first attacked him in next, the fires and what not surrounding him with the bgm really gave that "this is a serious fight gaiz" mood.

Oh, and his new purple glitter entrance kind of sucks. Sure, it's CGed and fancier, but his old entrance as ghetto as it is definitely looks more menacing. Revolution pretty much made him the same as he was in Premium.

Better when Xellos stays out. Since he requires absolutely everyone to take on and even then he's just too powerful.

It's more like, he's the only consistent villain that poses a real threat. He's also the only villain who isn't retarded (so far) while guys like Gaarv and what not just take the Laguna blade and go DURRR IT HURTS. I mean, it's not like Lina is really fast or anything, nor have they stated Xellos was specially fast either. It's kind of ridiculous how you can magically get away from Gaarv or Valgaarv or even those freaks from the 2nd world, but you'll never be able to hide from Xellos. They gotta at least update his abilities/stats T_T or it's just plain plot device.

It's very neat though how this series goes on a bi-weekly deal, where it's story/filler/story/filler. I've never seen it done before, and I think it'd be pretty neat to do for future series that are doing manga/anime side by side as long as they have the correct art style (STUPID light hearted types)

unlike lina and gourry
Amelia pretty much prefect in this new series

Amelia stopped screwing up in Next for the most part. She might not be out of character...for the most part, but they also aren't using her all that effectively either. Both her and Zel seem like they're there just for the sake of being there.

yeah that true. both of them like a filler character ( they being there just to please their fan )

if both of the come out like xelloss that would be nice
what i meat is, no need for both of them to come out in the very beginning.
if their come out in very crucial moment that would be cool.

for me that was a mistake to include them
( I like to see lina travel with new companion "Luke, Milina"

)

I think that sort of thing was handled well in the first season. After that major battle Zel vanished for a while. Only appearing some episodes later when the situation was serious and he could help out.

Since Zel is one of my favourite characters in the series I am glad they put him in there. Though would have liked him better utilized rather than it feeling like he was there just to please fans.

Through episode 10,I find Gourry is smarter than before cause he knows what the vocabulary husband means.Unlike he was in the Next when green-haired Maruchina (maybe I spell wrong) claimed Gourry was her boyfriend,Gourry didn't get what boyfriend was.

Mentorian · 2008-09-06, 03:49

I am surprised that almost noone commented on Episode 7, where Zuuma made his debut. It was a good episode with a great battle, a much needed respite from the disaster of Episode 6.

Episode 8 is saved by the conversation between Xelloss and Inspector Wizer. Wizer seems to be the only one in the series who can take Xelloss' "himitsu-desu" and throw it back with an interest. "My popularity among the court ladies will soar!" LOL.

aroduc · 2008-09-06, 04:37

Another season was officially confirmed.

Won't be starting in the autumn (Revolution ends at 13), but JCStaff rarely (ie, never) announces a new show more than a season or two in advance, so I'd lay hard money down on Winter.

sandy0212 · 2008-09-06, 06:29

I get news from http://ashitasmile.altervista.org/slayers.html She mentions rumors say the rest 13 episodes will televise in April next year with new title and songs.From this September to next April,seven-month waiting...(Sigh)Be patient.

BigGimp77 · 2008-09-06, 17:07

I'm almost finally caught up with all the Slayers stuff, I got just half of Slayer's Try to go.

How's the new season so far? I've enjoyed the old Slayers quite a bit so far but I'm kinda worried that the new season might be butchered due to JC Staff's nack for butchering stuff lately. I haven't read the novels yet either.

So is it any good?

No. You're about to experience four to six episodes of Try that pretty much represent what is typical of Revolution.
