Would you watch a modern AU school parody of Slayers?

>>160248090
Yes, just because I love the characters.
But I'd prefer a Slayers Special TV adaptation.

>>160248475
This. And a translation of Slayers Special beyond the first volume while we are at it.

I'm not really a Naga fan, so I'd only want a Slayers Special TV series if they find a way to include Amelia and Zel like they did in the drama CD adaptations of Special. I'm sure they can incorporate both them and Naga while respecting the "Amelia must not meet Gracia" rule if they get creative like in Evo-R.

went through all tv series and OVAs and movies these last two months

only left with Evolution-R and frankly its weak

>>160248726
I liked the Zelgadis flashback, but you are definitely right. The lame final battle and handwaving character motivations with the magic pot didn't help.

>>160248547
>Special has 30 volumes
>Only the first one is translated
Can we see this translated in our lifetime?

>>160248807
Probably not. It took forever to get the original series translated in the first place, and that was with half of it being done professionally and the fanbase being at its peak. It is sad as it is second only to the original series in having canon information. Maybe when AIs can automatically translate text we will see some progress.

I agree. Zelgadis is one of my favorite characters so I enjoyed seeing his backstory, but the season as a whole was incoherent. The main plot meandered all over the place, while the filler was too puerile, like they were writing with a little kid audience in mind compared to the original 3 TV series.

>>160249138
I am not sure why Pokota was added in the first place. Kanzaka seemed to have been following a pattern as the Aqualord manga had a shota faggot MC, but he wasn't quite as bad. I really thought that the direction in the later LNs, suffering and all, was great. It is a shame that they went a much more kid oriented direction with later installments as with Revo/Evo.

>>160248726
I don't recognize anything further beyond TRY, all that came after that was garbage
couldn't they just adapt another series revolving around the 3 remaining grand demons? zellas, dynast and dolphin

was Zelgadiss ever cured in one of the novels or something?

The other Slayers installments did. The LNs had the entire team fight Dynast in the second half. Zellas was the main antagonist of the SNES game. Dolph's minions were appropriately the villains of the Aqualord manga, though Dolph herself never shows up and just gets teased. The anime however went full retard with with the direction of Revo/Evo.

>>160249360
There's a ton of material they could adapt into anime. And since the characters and setting are so rich, if they wanted to make good anime original material, they could do that too (provided they hire decent writers).

I think the real problem is that there is no new material to promote, since Kanzaka is pretty much done with writing Slayers, and nowadays most adaptations only get made as a way to promote their original manga/LN.

>>160249438
No, he never gets cured in the LNs.

>>160249528
>The anime however went full retard with with the direction of Revo/Evo.
that's a shame, considering how much material they had to choose from and use it
nothing beats the finale of the first season for me, copy Rezo nuking Sairaag and the gang barely being able to face him got me hype as fuck

No. Kanzaka said that Zel will eventually be cured, but refuses to reveal to the public how it will happen. (He gave permission to one of his friends to reveal the method after he dies.)

I'm pretty sure Pokota was just a badly executed attempt at getting a new generation of kids to watch the show, and probably a cynical merchandising cash grab at that.

Royal also had a shota guest lead, but he was an elf so he acted more maturely.

I would really like to find some interviews or something that explain how the planning process for Revo/Evo-R went, and how much involvement Kanzaka actually had. But they never even published any artbooks for those seasons, in contrast to the earlier seasons, which contained a lot of background information.

That's what he said in an interview. He may have been joking, but I think he probably just wanted to torment the fans. He has said after all that each one of his characters are shades of his personality, which presumably means he has an assholish trickster side to him somewhere like Xelloss.

That was Premium. I liked some individual scenes in it, but it was pretty dumb on the whole and the characters didn't act like themselves. Blame Junichi Sato who wrote and directed the thing (his one and only Slayers credit).

Everyone wants a new series that feels like the first 3, but lightning usually doesn't strike twice. An OVA would be nice though, even if it's filler.

Because the illustrator is a titty fiend and is probably physically incapable of drawing a completely washboard flat girl.

Although some people attempt the in-universe explanation that in the Slayers world, Lina's breast size is considered flat, while their normal would be big to us.

Quoted for truth

Waifu2x give very nice upscale results and can clean image. But source R2 DVDs need insane ammount of filtering, processing and manual editing even before waifu2x. I tryed, but give up because it really hard.
Example what waifu2x can do with lowres video:
Source 800x450 http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15226799
standard upscale 720p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PABcBizfBAg
waifu2x upscale 1080p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNq-LoGfq20
Some flickering (mb filtering can be apply to remove it) but lines and dots are much cleaner!

I found the concept of Valgaav compelling. The execution was poorly done.
The idea that the race we're told is evil were butchered by the race we're told is good. It was nice to see some moral ambiguity.
But it just hammered that same shit and Valgaav's whole I'M BROODING! shtick got really old, yet the series seemed to keep trying to tell us to feel sorry for him. Over and over.
Which killed any chance I had of giving a fuck.

This is one of my favorite Zel/Ame fanarts because it makes me think about what it would be like for them to travel alone together, which I think happened a few times in the various continuities. Zelgadis is sort of like a big brother to her and would have to keep Amelia from getting too carried away with her naive sense of justice.

I would have really liked to see a spin-off just with them, maybe a manga or OVA or something. Their dynamic is so fun together.

That's too true. Putting all of the filler episodes in the very middle of the show rather than spreading them out as in Next really didn't work well. It should have aimed to be more tightly written like Next, rather than stretching things out as it did.

For me, I thought there was too much zany comedy and not enough coherent plot.

>>160285336
The LNs and anime are separate continuities, as are the video games and various manga series.

>>160285336
The story continues without Amelia and Zel. Some fans says that's why there are no more seasons based on the LN's.

>>160285639
And those fans are wrong, since not having Amelia or Zel in the source was never a problem when they adapted v02 into anime or several of the Special stories into drama CDs. It would be easy enough to add them in when adapting the remaining main series LNs (while leaving them out at certain points where they can't be included).

Ideally a new TV anime should adapt the remaining LNs including both Amelia/Zel and Luke/Milina.

>>160285336
The anime loosely covers volumes 1-8, with 5 and 6 not being covered at all. Though Evolution-R sort of adapted 6. After volume 8 it is entirely different. You should just read the whole thing.

Fuck the LNs. First half of first season of first series was GOAT, then it started going to shit pretty fast. Second half of first season of first series was already nowhere near as good as the first half, though still very decent. And the newer series are just so mediocre.

>>160292111
For the novel raws even googlefu is not enough. I've looked for them all over and can't find working links. Not that it really matters since I don't mind buying them.

We'll have to disagree there. The character interactions were my favorite part of Next and something I thought were a lot better done than in the LNs. There were inconsistencies and they did make some pretty dumb decisions there and in Try, but overall I enjoyed those seasons.

I feel that way about Amelia and Zel. But the thing is that Kanzaka is really not interested in romance and was reluctant to put any into Slayers.
The subtle relationship development we did get was very good however and I'm glad he allowed it in the adaptations.

>>160295491
I was going to say, while I'm one of the few people who actually liked TRY, it was by no means the pinnacle of the series. The filler felt far too silly as if to overcompensate for how dark the main storyline was.
Not to mention how CRAWLING IN MY SKIN! the whole Valgaav thing was.

But you're right that NEXT was best.

Is there a complete version of these pictures? This is the best I've seen them stitched together.

Oh, I didn't realize there was any official art for Luna, much less the parents.

>>160306476
I don't think we've ever seen illustrations of her mother though. Does it say in the novels what happened to her mom?

>>160307007
I don't think anything happened to her parents, Lina just left home to journey and explore I think the novels end with Lina taking Gourry to meet her parents

>>160300444
Quite sure at this point we can consider the project to be dead. Unless they do a miracle come back like the group that did the SNES RPG. Their translator actually died

>>160308004
It seems like here the problem is on the end of the people doing the software patch and that the translation itself is already finished.

>>160308004
>Their translator actually died
no way a project can recover from that

>>160310341
I dunno anon, here's an idea... get another translator

>>160310376
It isn't that easy. Competent Japanese-to-English translators are in short supply.

Anyway, the SNES translation and patch were completed several years ago so it's moot now.

Tell us about Lina.
Why is she so rowdy?

is it ever explained in the novels how Lina learned the Dragon Slave and Giga Slave spells?

>>160312452
Because she is a cute genius sorceress who probably study a lot of spells.

>>160312452
She crafted the Giga Slave herself, think it's explained in the very first novel. The Drag Slave she knew before the series started, but y'know >>160312925

So how is Lost Universe? I've been meaning to check it out since it looks similar to Outlaw Star, which is my favorite anime.

>>160312334
She's a dyke

Is there a hentai with the Slayer art style?

Would it ever be possible to incorporate waifu2x upscaling into mpv or mpc-hc?

Kanzaka said in a fanclub interview that her mom was fine throughout the whole thing.

>>160312452
Giga Slave was something she found in a copy of the Claire Bible. Dragon Slave is something that she learned through the regular process of learning spells, as the thing had been invented 1000 years beforehand.

>>160315504
Any of Araizumi's doujins.

>>160315830
You already can with the Waifu2x Vapoursynth/Avisynth plugin. It takes a monstrous computer to run though.

>>160271461
Ragna Blade, love the incantation, how it looks, the name, and the Boost incantation. Dragon Slave is a very close second though.

>>160313664
I tried watching it and lost interest like 2 eps in. Never watched Outlaw Star though, so maybe you'll have more luck.

>>160313664
Not as good.
