Like I told my friend, if this doesn't have Hayashibara, this ain't Slayers
Regardless, I'm freakin' pumped as hell! I feel like a kid again! |

This just made my day. There is no other anime that makes me laugh as hard as Slayers does, although Haruhi and FLCL come close. Hopefully it won't be a PoS series with new characters but the same basic story. I want to see our old characters poking fun at more recent fantasy trends (WoW, LotR, Harry Potter) while still keeping the same old formula of small boob jokes and fiery tempers.
Basically, I want it to be like the old series but not feel like I'm watching the old series. |

Hey people, you might like to read this:
http://homepage3.nifty.com/QPHOUSE/dragonmagazine.html Nothing stated OFFICIALLY, but the intentions seem to be an original story line (or story lines) like the ANN article says, so it sounds like it won't be taking plot lines from the novel stuff that hasn't been animated. But more importantly, ORIGINAL CAST, HELL YEAH! Like I said, it's not OFFICIAL yet, but it's looking extremely likely. http://homepage3.nifty.com/QPHOUSE/megabura.html OH HELL YEAH! (Now excuse me while I shower QP/Diana with LOVE for STILL having one of the best informative Slayers websites out there. I forgot she even existed these past 5 years or so.) |

Because Persona Trinity Soul is soooo much like the Witchblade anime, rite? :/ Granted, I liked Slayers, but some of you act as if it is god's gift to anime. When really it was just a fun and cheesy show. |

I see it more as it's a show we love despite and possibly BECAUSE it obviously poked fun not only of the genre but of itself. Even with the cheese factor, it had some serious plot going on when it decided to get serious. That, and for many here it was one of their first anime series they loved, so sentamentalism comes into play. I'm in teh OMG NEW SLAYERS???? HELL YEAH! crowrd because I LOVE the series, not because it's the OMG BESTEST SERIES EVAR!! Sort of like when you step back and look at it, Thundercats is full of Fail, but there's people who think any mention of it is awesome. *shrugs* |

I agree and understand why you would be excited about your first series coming back. I guess my disgust comes from the "OMG! It's teh best animue ever crowd" who claim every anime that isn't Cowboy Bebop is shit. |

This is so awesome. Slayers is one of my all time favorite anime.
I too remember when it first came out on vhs tapes and I bought it only to be disappointed when they had stopped with only half the show. I went and rented the rest at the local Japanese video store and watched it raw. Those were the days!!!! Glad to see it making a come back. |

Just as long as there is NO filia, I'll be happy
On a serious note though, I'm glad awareness for this project is still up and going! Maybe with the new anime we'll finally get the manga here in the states! |
