Ah Rora, you totally beat me when it comes to verbosity. XD♥

My knowledge is only limited to the original Slayers and TRY, and it's definitely been quite a number of years since I saw either. (I tried watching Revolution, but Slayers is just one series that doesn't fit my tastes as it is now.) So, really, you are more of an expert than I (even then!). XD

I know when I was in fandom when Slayers TRY first came out in JP that it definitely was the least popular of the series among Western fandom at that time. The biggest complaint I remember is the general "darker" overtone it had--it wasn't as silly or humorous, and of course, Valgarv was a pretty angsty villain (with justification). Also, Slayers NEXT was always a huge fan favorite--coming on the heels of it, I think any third part would've been held in disregard. I always compared it to the Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi thing.

OH HO HO HO HO HO SO YOU ARE A SENBASA FAN
A BAZILLION POINTS TO YOU!

I'm... not a huge fan of the anime, but oh man, I love the games. I LOVE THE GAMES. wwwwwwwwwwwwww

I think most anime/game fans with any experience with Japanese side of fandoms would've run across some form of SenBasa because it's so big there. Like you, I was pretty familiar with "it" without even knowing what it is. I watched the anime on that premise, was disappointed that the designs I saw were barely in it, and then later found out we got a game from the series that wasn't bastardized like Devil Kings was.

300 hours later... =_=
An import later... =_=

WE ARE SO OFFTOPIC BUT I HAVE TO KNOW WHO DO YOU LIKE??? :D?

	Uh, my reply to you got way, WAY too long and it would probably annoy tetradecimal to keep getting a bazillion off-topic notifications at this point, so I actually used my JF account for something other than commenting and made it its own entry, LOL. XD See you there, I hope! ^_^ (Reply to this)(Parent)
