After 11 years, Slayers is back and as wonderful as ever! In this first episode, Lina destroys a pirate ship, brings to our attention that she and Gourry are on the hunt for a replacement of the Sword of Light, and Lina is arrested under the charge of being Lina Inverse. But she won't go without a fight!
What I liked:
-It was so great to see them all again. Like old friends who haven't really changed. I was grinning like crazy through the whole thing.
-Nice, vivid colors. The modern animation only makes Lina's spells more awesome.
-Lina was her usual, sarcastic and violent self. Gourry was pea-brained, Amelia still loves justice, and Zel was... well, Zel.
-The ironic twist at the end, despelling the opening episode tradition of Lina blowing something up with a Dragon Slave was great.
What I didn't like:
-That fish woman. She was way over-the-top with a shrilly, whiney voice. I've never been a fan of the fish creatures, and she was really pushing it.
-That plushie, digimon-like animal at the end. I hope he (she?) will be of some importance and not another annoying Martina-like character that makes herself known from the very beginning and causes trouble throughout the series. If they insist on adding it, don't overdo it, please.
I have to wonder who the villian will be this time, and when Xellos will show up. 'Til next episode!
