Alternate Version of Slayers (season 1),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Slayers Super-Explosive Demon Story Volume 1: Legend Of Darkness (Slayers (Central Park Media)) (Paperback)
This series of books follows (as you'll find in book two) the story arc of the first season of Slayers, with a whole lot of minor changes here and there. The major problem with these books (besides being formatted for American readers but still containing some mis-panellings) is that the anime series is so vivaciously voiced and well-directed that it's difficult to stick the characters on flat paper and then read their words. The paper format works better for Lina & Naga where their adventures are really little more than cutting one-liners about discreet events on the way to a meal. Comparing the paper to the series, however, it falls short of giving us the long-running complex characters that the anime gives us.

Not as good as I had hoped,
By "amberred" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slayers Super-Explosive Demon Story Volume 1: Legend Of Darkness (Slayers (Central Park Media)) (Paperback)
Entertaining, but much of the characterizations seems forced to me. It was as if the writer had no idea of what he was doing with Lina and Gourry and so just had them run into random adventure aftr random adventure, depending on off-colored jokes in hopes of keeping the reader happy (which didn't work). That may just be me, though. If I was you, I'd hunt this book down personally in a bookstore and look through it there before deciding on if you want to spend money on this book or not. Just go to the second book if you want the real start of the story.
