i think the whole series has that appeal that so many others lack today. characters had a little more motivation to be more than a cardboard cutout. the VAs did the best with what they had to work with. Its goofy fun, light hearted at points and handles the seriousness when the needed too. I reallt like this show growing up. His and Record of the Loddoss war and Angelcop,

Which Slayers release is best now that the BD ended up being some upscaled shit?

Post Lina in spats

Wait until next month or two for a definitive answer.

So far, I only have official stuff. I really wonder what they smell like after hiking for three days without a break haha

But seriously, fucking spats with ZR is overkill for my Peter.

Slayers Novel Confirmed to Return with Its Third Arc

It was officially announced in the latest July 2019 issue of KADOKAWA'S Dragon Magazine released today on May 17 that the long-awaited third arc of Hajime Kanzaka's internationally popular fantasy light novel series Slayers is set to launch in near future.

Well, when you say BD, are you talking about the old DVDs, or the new Blu-Rays that are being put out? Because if you mean the former, then wait until later this month, and then Nipland will have released Blu-Rays of the first three series.

If you meant the Blu-Rays, then nevermind lmao turns out the fire was worse than I thought. Also I need sleep but I can't because it's a Slayers thread.

Attached: Volume 16 - Lina and Gourry.jpg (1280x1817, 582K)

I was asking about the anime, which existent release to download since there's not gonna be a proper BD release any time soon...

Aren't the blu-rays upscaled and filtered?

In our discussion last week, we came to the conclusion that it's upscaled to 1080i, which is fine because the original aspect ratio was 1.33:1 in the first place. It has a proper bitrate (MPEG-4 AVC 34.57 Mbps) so it should still maintain proper standard definition detail without stretching or compression, and since the official DVDs used a fan's custom filter for their official release, the BDs should have much better color, contrast, grain, and texture.

The problem is that we don't have any screenshots from the BDs, so we can't tell if it's good or not.

Haven't the raws been released on Nyaa?

Perhaps, but I haven't checked as my life has been flip-turned upside-down. If you have the time, I politely ask you to look, but if you can't, give me a while to get things in order, and then I'll handle it on my own and share my findings with everyone.

She also voiced Amy Rose before Cindy Robinson vastly improved the role.

lol nice. Is the series still ongoing? or is that cover art for something unrelated to promotions?

As far as I am aware, there's nothing in the works for anime, movies, OVAs, video games, or manga. All we have confirmed right now is that Hajime's continuing the light novels so we get a third arc, after Volume 16 was so well-received.

if you have them, please post.

Attached: 1465467945869.jpg (373x700, 102K)

You can find them in the light novels, which is a separate continuity from the anime, and what is considered "core" because it's written by Hajime himself.

If you don't have access to the specific light novel repository that requires an interview, you can find light novels here. You'll need a reader, though, but that's a free download. I recommend only Volumes 1-9 with this, because Vol.10+ is horribly fan-translated. Vol.1-8 are official translations, and Vol.9 is a solid fan translation.

After that, I recommend using:
ceiphiedknightandbanditsplight.wordpress.com/

However, it's missing Part 3 to Vol.10, and Vol.11 entirely, you can use this resource here:
novelplanet.com/Novel/Slayers/Volume-10-Chapter-3?id=117623

However, I have yet to find a proper repository for Slayers Special, the light novels that take place prior to the series when Lina was adventuring with Naga.

Attached: dolphin porn.png (573x470, 42K)

Well there's that but to be perfectly frank I think a Slayers adventure really works best short form. I like Lina but she's kind of hard to put up with if you really sit down and watch a lot of episode. Naga's are usually quick done in one OVAs or a short movie. They bicker, have some bants there's magic explosions, the end. Fun times.

Series recommendations in regards to what, exactly?

Attached: chest envy.jpg (850x1198, 394K)

what you think has been good? a series that stood out that you liked. I dont mind reading different genres.

Comedy Fantasy I'm assuming. You might try Rune Soldier but I'd say Gokudo is closer in tone. He's a real shit bag.

Attached: gokudo.jpg (640x395, 59K)

I don't watch enough anime to give you any recommendations. I only browse the catalog every now and again to see if there's a Slayers thread up. It's the only reason I'm here.

Here have a thing

Attached: tg anime.jpg (1700x3499, 2.24M)

Ruin Explorers has always been one of my favorites. Fun tid bit. In the dub the actress who plays Rasha (The blond lady who's not a cat) also plays Naga. On the commentary track she mentioned that when she was cast as Naga to basically just play Rasha but MORE.

Anyways it's a fun 4 episode OVA that I always like to rewatch for a quick fantasy fix.

Attached: ruin explorers 2.jpg (1400x1404, 998K)

These both help. Thanks.
It's always nice to see a slayers thread but they are few and far between.

Rasha but More? Thats going in my que list.

Did you ever check out record of the loddoss war?

And although I enjoy them they should stay that way until Series 3 begins.

>Did you ever check out record of the loddoss war?

Yes. Lodoss was pretty much my, and many others, gate way fantasy anime. And is still one of my favorites. Hell Im even one of the weirdos who would recommend the TV series too.

The first book was actually translated a year or two back and it was an interesting read. Doesn't look like 7seas is inters in doing the others though which is a sham. Highly recommend the anime. In fact it's basically required viewing.

My thanks. I was worried that this was lost to time. It was a really impressive undertaking for it's time.

It's impressive even today. You can tell it's hand-drawn, not with a tablet, and with everyone on-model and over 200 pages worth of content over three years, done back at the turn of the millennium before crowdfunding was done, it's a monumental undertaking in one's free-time. Not even doujinshi mangaka work that hard.

I saw that the artist is kinda active on Twitter and left a thank you message.

I thought of checking the KanzakaDex forum for updates about the upcoming light novels but much to my shock the forum is completely dead so I guess these threads are the best place for discussion.

I, and a couple others, will be here for your every Slayers need, to the best of my ability. The moment the news comes out on oricon, I know I will try blast Yea Forums repeatedly until a thread sticks so everyone can be in the loop for once Volume 17 releases.

The most-important thing at the moment is getting Reb interested in Slayers again and enlisting her much-needed service.

She and Zelgadis better not try and be important in Slayers 3, it did NOT work out well for Luke and Milina

I like the implication that Gourry and Amelia are actually the smartest somehow despite being loud idiot moralfags

Attached: amelia chess.jpg (1280x720, 56K)

I believe the canon intelligence ratings are Gourry -> Lina -> Amelia -> Zel, but with Gourry being an idiot-savant who can't remember names, faces, or places, but can easily perceive things in the middle of combat, be aware of his surroundings within a 30-yard radius at all times, and immediately knew that Xellos was a Mazoku while it took everyone else numerous conversations to pick up on it.

Attached: gourry is best boy4.png (666x981, 1.52M)

Quite sure the tv series amped up Gourry's stupidity a whole bunch whereas in the novel he offers useful insight and occasional snark

This is correct. Gourry was introduced in the novels as a means of giving Lina a way to explain the world's lore, but she could follow-up her statements with internal dialogue. Since a monologue like that wouldn't work within the medium, Gourry devolved into the character he is now within the anime. However, you can see that the writers who worked on it started taking extra care later on to not let him be stuck permanently as that caricature.
