I love my princess.

Amelia at the top of some tall natural formation pointing her finger at me and shouting about SEEEEEIIGI

Last night, Araizumi made a 4-hour streaming while drawing Zelgadiss. Unfortunately I don't know Japanese.

Man-made formations work too.

Was it saved somewhere? I really want to see it.

Oh, he's drawing Lina now.

Thanks, I see he's drawing Lina now. Too bad the website doesn't keep copies of the previous livestreams. Since I'm learning to draw these days, I wanted to see how he draws my favorite chimera.

>tfw Phil's seiyuu lasted two seasons

I never understood how she get this wound simply hitting a wall

Probably because of the force of the magical attack that propelled her against the wall, not hitting the wall itself.

But this don't make a hole in the abdomen, she should have wounded only her back.

I'm going to sleep soon, but I guess I'll leave this here before I do. I recently started to translate the Slayers Royal game via screen captures, putting them up on this website:

Right now I have the first scene up. I plan to add scene by scene on a regular basis as long as my emulator behaves.

I hope you guys enjoy it.

Thank you, user!

I think the wound was on her back. When she first hits the ground, the blood starts coming out from her back.

Animation error

Who wore it best?

Xellos is cute

Reminder that Lina Inverse is perfect in every way.

...

Not very fan of the character but tolerance is key-word for me on this thread. Have an Amelia.

it's unfair, Xellos gave himself a female body

I didn't know that

She is so beautiful.

Will we ever get Slayers Special LNs translated?

Finished

Lina a cute.
A CUTE!

Very nice.
I hope he posts the other drawings he did last night because I missed them.

Is it true that in the novels there is no sentimental relationship between Zelgadiss and Amelia?

I think I'll go ahead and start a dump of what I've translated in Royal so far. This is the first scene which takes place in a diner.
1/17

Yes. Kanzaka was really reluctant to introduce any romance into the series, and even the Gourry/Lina relationship sort of happened on its own without him intending it.

But since he managed series composition on Next and Try, I assume he must have been okay with Zel and Amelia having a relationship in the anime.

They also have a special relationship in the post-anime series of video games, and in the manga for Evolution-R. Evolution-R was downright romantic by Slayers standards, and we know by the mangaka's afterword that Kanzaka was supervising it, so that part must have gotten his approval.

I suspect Kanzaka just doesn't know how to write romance himself and isn't interested in it, so he was content to let other writers put in some as long as they kept it subtle.

>Evolution-R was downright romantic by Slayers standards
Was it? I remember some Lina/Gourry stuff but not much about Zelgadis and Amelia.

I was referring to the manga.
In the manga, Zel chooses to take care of an exhausted Amelia instead of going after Rezo to ask about his cure.

...

...

That's all for this round.

I'll have some more in time for next week's thread.

The anime for Revo/Evo-R didn't have many unambiguous hints of Zel/Amelia, which was a little bit of a let-down compared to previous seasons. Still made me happy to see them together all the time though.

Also, these scenes were cute.

I should get off my ass and read the novels already

Double O~hohoho

Will Slayers Special ever be translated?

One thing to keep in mind about the novels is that since they are told from Lina's first person perspective, we have no idea what the other characters were doing off on their own. Zel and Amelia were apparently spending time alone together without Lina's knowledge, since she was surprised to hear that he had learned Recovery from Amelia. Also, they went off together to battle Hellmaster and we don't know what happened there.

You can probably blame Araizumi-sensei for the idea of a relationship between them, since he seems to have shipped them from early on, and drew this illustration among others, which many Japanese fans think was the catalyst for the ZelAme fandom.

Since there's nothing to contradict them forming a close friendship in the novels, I'll continue to believe that their relationship in the anime is not far-fetched for them.

Ah, all right.
I do like Zel/Amelia, but I'm still pissed about how Evo-R handled Zelgadis' cure. I'd honestly only want another anime season if they retconned Revolution and Evolution-R.

I 100% agree with you on that one user.

What did you dislike about that part? I didn't mind that so much. We know from Kanzaka that Zel will eventually find a cure (although he isn't willing to tell us how), so there's probably still one for him in the anime universe even if Rezo said there isn't.

I still want more anime. They should just never bring up Pokota again.

As I said before, adapting the rest of the novels and adding Zelgadiss and Amelia to the story would be perfect in my opinion.

Is slayers worth watching?

Completely agree. I hope it happens one day.

I love you guys.

I love you too, user

Let's keep the Slayers love flowing until the end of time.

It's old, but yes. Watch by production order like everything else. The LNs are beter written IMO, but it may be worth just sampling the series with season 1 and the first movie.

A lot of fans consider Next to be the peak of the anime, so I would recommend watching that too.

Not enough Amelia in this thread, time to fix that.

Big up all my Slayers sunday mandem

what would happen if Amelia met Gracia

...

...

Amelia would be overjoyed to see her big sis again. Naga might feel a bit of shame over the lifestyle she's been leading and may be reluctant to tell her everything she's being doing since she left.

These four need to become officially family already.

...

I wouldn't let my kawaii musume marry some chimera asshole who took part in destroying a whole district of Seyruun

>who took part in destroying a whole district of Seyruun
when did this happen

after they've defeated Kanzel the air garden descends upon Seyruun and destroys some of it

But that was the fault of the mazoku, not his.

Zel may be an asshole, but Amelia's love can redeem him.

Did anyone get this BD box?
I would like to know about quality and if it is worth buying

Amelia is CUTE

is the original slayers BD upscaled?

Slayers TV was never released on BD except for that Spanish boxset.

Not even in Japan?

Right. The rumor is that the master films were lost a long time ago.

but if the master films where lost then how in the world did the spanish release get a BD upscale of the original tv broadcast?

They didn't. It is a shitty upscale rather than a true remaster.

Because they dragged Rezo back into the story and because if I recall correctly, Zelgadis just sort of gave up on finding his cure in the end, which was complete bullshit. Maybe I'm not remembering properly since it's been so long, but I do remember being very disappointed.

>Zelgadis just sort of gave up on finding his cure in the end
He didn't. The epilogue in the last episode shows him off on another journey to find his cure again. At most, he got some closure with Rezo and learned to let go of some of his anger towards him. I don't think that's a bad thing, although I agree that bringing Rezo back at all was unnecessary.
