This took me by surprise.
meh it was posted in the Trigun movie topic but yeah this deserves its own thread and is awesome
I thought this was over long ago. Unless, this is a revamp of the series to come?
Jesus Christ, your sig is amazing Taleran
Lets hope its a NEXT rather than a TRY.
Hell to the Yes.
Here's hoping for more Xellos even if we don't get to see the true extent of his powers.
/me cries tears of joy
Next to One Piece, Slayers is still my all time favorite anime. I am pleased.
I was so surprised when I found this on ANN, it's so awesome.
btw, what was so horrible about TRY anyway?
There wasn't anything horrible about TRY, its just that it was one long story that got really dark. Basically almost the entirey of the 26 episodes was spent on intense "OMG the world is ending bad stuff bad stuff" that made up the last 4 episodes of seasons 1 and 2, just for the entire season. Made for an awesome story, but wasn't as fun or random as Slayers should be, and it really was just the one story the entire time.
Slayers is probably one of the worst things I've ever seen.
is this the shit with all the catgirls and chicks with bat wings and overall reeks of intense furry guided character design?
get the fuck away
Um yeah I going to have to go and say no.
I'm not really sure what to think as I did enjoy Slayers way back when, but that was a long time ago and I'm doubtful that they can recapture the spirit of the show. That may be for the best. Who knows?

No, Slayers doesn't have furries. At least the episodes and movies that I've seen…
So they are gonna bring slayers back
Hope it at least has some Naga in it
I've only seen only the first OVA, and that Naga was pretty sexy…but they never really did an actual series w/ her in it. I rather wish Lina's sister is shown in it...but probably she would this time

Xellos = main character
No comment.
Does the original anime series include tradational-by-today's-standard animu chicks and moes, along with emo-fangirl-squeeling-and-appealing-probably-yaoi-qualifying male characters?
Just use wikipedia.
If it gets dubbed (which is a given) they better choose a good VA for Xellos.
….........Mooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Seriously no David Moo.

Wow way back when Xellos was my favorite anime character. If this is true then wow. No way I'd skip this.
It's disgusting how many people here have never seen Slayers.
Makes me feel old, that it does…
...then again, I've been into this long before it became "cool."
@Mad:

Well some series are going to be discovered by some and left undiscovered by others.

I believe ADV has the rights to Slayers now. They did the movies.
Kurt Stoll was Xellos in Slayers Premium.
i'm curious who will do lina's voice as well as xellos, and zelgadis. I hope they wll make this even better than before. You know what kind of anime needs to be revived….
Gundam Wing
Yu yu hakusho
and Outlaw Star
I'm stil uber happy that they are bringing back Slayers i thought that anime would be forever dead in a 3 disc set on ebay
@Mad:

ADV did the movies at the same time that CPM had the rights to the TV series. As far as I know, they were considered two separate things.
Funimation now has the rights to the old TV shows. I'm assuming that this new show will be an entirely different license, and will probably be anyone's game.
You know what kind of anime needs to be revived….
Gundam Wing
Yu yu hakusho
and Outlaw Star
Gundam Wing had a clean finish but kind of stumbled a bit wit Endless Waltz
don't really see the need to do with an anime what they did with the manga(s).
Yu Yu Hakusho can't really argue against that.
Outlaw Star same as above but I for one still would want to read manga.
Except Gundam Wing is dumb.
Depends on who ask most people criticize it for being too bishie.
Screw reviving, make something new and exciting.
i love slayers, but making a new animated series 10 years after the first…things won't be the same. I love the art. will the art change. Will the voice actors change. that will ruin it. Lina HAS to sound like LINA. (i'm talking about the original dailoge.) Sounds kind of interesting that they will be focusing on Xellos though. is this before or after the other 3 seasons.
Well, given te fact that Araizumi Rui's been doing the illustrations for the series ever since the first novel came out way back in 1989 or thereabouts, I'm pretty sure the art will stay as it was.
And the Japanese care a lot more about voicecasts than Americans so. And it's not like any of the main cast has retired to my knowledge, so no real issue there.
Anyways, the hardcore types would eat the studio if anyone other than Megumi did Lina's voice.
I for one wouldn't though I like Lina's original voice a whole lot.
Megumi will be Lina. The series actually was ready to be made two years ago, but they had to wait for the VA's work schedules to clear up. Megumi had been otherwise busy on Pokemon and motherhood.

ah that's great to hear. thanks.
@Sandai:

i agree totally, ^_^
I am worried if they will turn this into an echhi anime… like they did with Rosario + vampire,
Does anyone know when they'll start airing the first episodes?
That just looks like the article ANN mentioned before.
Now that you mentioned it, it is the same but I guess it should be somewhat new for anyone who hasn't seen it or read it.
Yu Yu Hakusho being revived would be cool IF the story was written by Yoshihiro Togashi and he took drew all of the character desighns but if it was just by the animation company than i'd have to say FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
OMG!!! I rarely visit this subforum, and what do I get??? a new Slayer series?? YAY!!! oohh…. I can't wait to see what the story about. But Xellos is my least favourite character =S Ah, I don't care, I really want to see it ^_^ Thankyou very much for this awesome news

If Togashi's the one who drew the original manga he has to improve his art a bit if the rest of the manga looked anything like it did during the Dark Tournament arc.

How can you hate Xellos? sure he might be a bit overrated but he's still likable.
@Sandai:

The biggest thing you can hate about him is his American Voice Actor. David Moo for the lose…
You can't hate the character for a sad individual passing himself as a
voice actor.
Hahahahha XD well…. It's the character design that made him my least fav chara. Nothing in particular, I just don't like his 'sore wa himitsu desu' and his confusing behaviour. (though, I like to use the phrase to tease my friends XD). Lina and Gourry are my fav. It's just a mather of preference I guess. I didn't mean to offense anybody, really. Ah, btw, Xellos and Filia is my second fav pairing ^_^ I really like their hate-love relationship. Speaking of which, will there any Filia in this season??

What does that mean?
his confusing behaviour.
That always added to his aura of mystery popping up at usual times
running away at others.

I kind of doubt it
! Considering the fact that she and Fox Guy (it been a longtime)
decided to raise Valgaav following the final battle but who's the say
for sure.
@Sandai:
What does that mean?
are you a slayers fan? it's a secret
tare: his confusing behavior is part of why I do like him. He just seems so random and looney, but everything he does is carefully calculated to manipulate people and situations. He's actually quite smart, yet doesn't let on. eeeeh heeee heee heee. :3
