5.0 out of 5 stars
*jaw drops*,
By Miluda (WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Slayers Try: The Dragon Shrine? [VHS] (VHS Tape)
... let's just say I didn't retain my sanity long after watching this tape. The first three episodes (especially the first one!) out of the four on this tape are absolutely HILARIOUS. I'd heard things about how far the arguments between Filia and Xellos went, and I still cracked up laughing. Filia's character is absolutely PRICELESS, I fell in love with her right away-- and we see Jillas and Gravos again, our favorite adorable little lackies. The last episode, however, really had me stunned-- basically courtesy of Valgarv (Valgaav), the main villain of Try. Let's just say a little something is revealed that shows that the Golden Dragons aren't quite all they're cracked up to be... Oh yes, and as usual, the dub actors do a wonderful job-- and I'm still impressed with the quality of the voices of Tara Jayne and Scottie Ray (Filia and Valgarv, respectively.) At any rate, I loved this tape, and it left off with a total bang of revelations and future plot pushers. Can't wait for Try, Volume 3!

Slayers TRY Vol. 1: A Top Anime Can Only Get Better!,
By Alyssa Stock (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Slayers Try: The Dragon Shrine? [VHS] (VHS Tape)
From the beginning of this next installment in the Slayers Universe, I was impressed by the animation, which seems to have not only continued the style of the first two arcs, but actually improved. The music, which has been top-notch for the most part, is as catchy as ever with great opening and ending songs. Both are sung by the talented Megumi Hayashibara, which is enough to recommend it by itself. Slayers is a story set in a pseudo- medieval world with all the typical sword-and-sorcery trappings of the fantasy genre. With a twist. Slayers rarely, if ever takes itself seriously, and will set you laughing if you have the least sense of humor. This volume introduces a new character, Filia, who seeks the famous "genius sorceress" and bandit-killer Lina Inverse, and re-acquaints us with some old ones, Zelgadis the chimera, Gourry the "idiot swordsman", Princess Amelia, and Xelloss, the trickster priest. The episodes contain everything from a fight with a dragon to a battle with a bandit gang to the destruction of a city! But it all ends well, and Filia joins the reluctant Lina and her friends on a quest to save their world and get a decent meal.

Slayers Try continues, but the interest wanes...,

This review is from: The Slayers Try: The Dragon Shrine? [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I found this tape rather immature in design, plotting and pacing until the last episode when all hell broke loose and it got back on track. Too much talking with too many new and wierd characters with designs right out of a 10th grader's sketchbook made this tape rather boring. I'm hoping the final episode is indicative of things to come...by the end of the third episode on this tape I wanted to cancel my order for the remainder of this series. Xellos is more direct and confrontational then before, yet the main throng of characters lulled into cliche and predictable behavior through out the tape. Make your own opinion. I am sure the Slayers fans are very forgiving of anything disappointing in this installment.
