New Slayers anime series/season coming this Fall

Couldn't resist watching the RAW, and good old Slayers it was to the core <3
Sexy OP and ED, addicting even.

As Pokey mentioned, that indeed looks like Luna, tho it might be a tease again ;_;

The OP shows quite a bit, actually. An ominous celestial ring in the sky keeps appearing (probably central to the story), Xellos is shown multiple times in his true form (a big black cone) and i'm pretty fucking sure that either the beast or the woman (or both) is Zelas. Zelas/Xellos duo possible villains, maybe?

*imagines Lina vs Xellos*

The sheer epic of that idea is orgasmic...

EDIT: alright, it appears as though Eclipse Productions is handling the subbing of this anime, as they've already released an episode in AVI and h264 format. grab it now!

I was mistaken in the opening, the waitress is NOT Luna and the beast/noblewoman is NOT Zelas, although Zelas shows up here: (Confirmed by Watanabe)

The beast is a chimera named Ducris, who has shown up in the novels. The waitress and noblewoman are both new characters.

Saw the first 2 episodes, it has potential. I don't expect anything like NEXT again, but it will at least be a good watch.

I was surprised that they re-used the old Slayers music. I love it!

Has there been any news of this getting licensed? It's a bit weird how ep. 7 was delayed for a week until an "anonymous" subber put it out as VivaLaRevolution, followed by Eclipse posting their 1-6 batch and supporting that group.

Slayers Revolution

It has been removed due to request from FUNimation Entertainment. There's no news on whether it's been licenced, but seeing as the previous Slayers are all licenced, it would be stupid of them not to, especially since its popular.

Please note that FUNimation are acting on the behalf of the Japanese IP owners, Enoki Films, or more like, employed, as this person has posted:

This is the reason why I haven't downloaded a single sub, just youtubed the raw to see the new animation style. I knew this was inevitable.

It's not like that will stop the subs for a series as popular as Slayers. I just hope VivaLaRevolution starts putting out .avi versions too like Eclipse had been doing. .mkv is great and all, but I want a format that my 360 will play so I can watch it on my TV.

Ah, no wonder I haven't been seeing any more Slayers episodes pop up recently. I wouldn't mind buying it, but at the same time, it'll probably be ages before the complete series of Revolution comes to dvd over here. I'm not itching to know what happens next so far, but something neat like Pokota teaming up with Lina would be a good guess as an eventuality. Also, Xellos' current role is probably the only other thing that intrigues me currently in the story.

You must be several episodes behind, Summonmaster.

Spoiler:

Pokota's been teamed up with Lina & co. since ep. 5 and judging from the preview we'll get more information on Xellos once VivaLaRevolution subs ep. 8.

Oh no, I've seen up to 6 but:

Spoiler:

It still doesn't feel like Pokota officially teamed up as a party member, moreso like a temporary alliance since they reached his hometown. Also, Xellos is a wild card as always, initially revealing himself to Lina and company and then allying (for now) with the beast man and the marquis.

Although I probably still wouldn't be convinced about Pokota until he does something like a dual Dragon Slave with Lina :3

So any news if there's a mystery fansub group that will continue to sub it?

I'm not sure why no one is subbing eps 8 & 9. A second mystery group even subbed 7 for no apparent reason, but then both groups seem to have vanished.

Are the links still out for 7? It seems like Funimation is strong arming this seriously

The VivaLaRevolution links for 7 on Tokyo Toshokan still work, but apparently D-R pulled theirs already. Not sure why they bothered to sub 7 instead of 8 or 9 anyway.

Thanks, and GOOD NEWS!



Episode 8 has been subbed. Now to add to the existing pile of Geass that I missed

Where's the sub of episode 8? The only one I've seen was in Italian, and that's not terribly helpful.

Yeah I just realized that when I started playing it on VLC. It was quite a letdown. Well, I can understand a little, I should try to do some kind of translation...

Episode 8 now comes in English! Truly miraculous. Judging by the Tokyo Tosho comment it sounds like it's been finished for a while, but they forgot to put it up.

Additional Spam:
And now we have ep. 9 too for some double post excitement! Best day ever.

hey tritoch, the torrent link to episode 9 has a misleading title, its actually episode 8. can you fix that link?

just watched episode 8 though, fantastic stuff.

Spoiler:

Especially the gang vs Xelloss at the end. However, i was puzzled as to why Lina didn't consider the Ragna blade, which might have done significant damage against Xelloss (as well as be the coolest thing to happen yet). Hopefully we'll see that in a future fight.

I just double-checked, and they both seem to be correct. All I did was copy/paste the links from Tokyo Toshokan for convenience, so just go there and do a search for Slayers. VLR posted a high quality version of ep. 9 a little later if anyone prefers those.
