Don't know about you, but I know I can't afford to buy/rent DVDs all the time. So really, FUNimations gotta earn their money SOME way. These ads are so short and you can skip through most of them.
So please. stop whining or go buy the DVD sets. KTHX BAI. >_>
I cant understand why shabrinigdo didn't get into contact with his followers The Monster Race maybe his Resurrection would've went a little more smoother!
20:42: And so departeth Zelgadis, and with him, the dreaded harlot of a voice actor, Daniel Cronin. In eight episodes time, a new man will speaketh his voice, one who is far superioreth.
There's bad acting, and then there's Daniel Cronin. "How daaare youuu..."
...I've watched too much YGOTAS. When Shabranigdo said 'destroy the world! :D' at 10:30, I automatically thought of Zorc and laughed myself to tears. Might've watched too much Yu-Gi-Oh! too. The thought of Lina being Serinity and Gourry Kaiba amuses me.
@Jehdyn oddly, i thought that when looking at him, then i started thinking about how a certain antagnist and the dark lord they introduce in try remind of zorc and pals
@Nanya How nice something is colored doesn't stop the animation from flunking. Animation is how well the characters move in their space as well as how many frames are used to convey that movement.
Look at an episode of Orphen or Evangelion (both made during the 90s) and you'll see what I mean.
Of course, that isn't to decry how good this show is.
Zel is awesome he can be serious and stupid at the same time.
I was hoping they would take out the funny/stupid comments during the fight with Shabraningdo (if i spelled that right) and was hoping that Lina and Galry would mature over time and get serious. Otherwise, this show was purely just a bunch of episodes filled with random fight scenes and stupid comments. Wuteves, I still love this show!
You know.........Shab coulda killed these dudes like 7 times if he had just cut the buhshit monologues >:| i mean for real in all the 5 minutes it took lena to cast that spell he could laid her to waste lol
@EvilBlackComet by bringing him back theres still a few parts of him left and theres an inexhaustible suply of idiotic villians to sacrifice themselves
am i the only one who noiced when zel's friends died no one cried and when zel got burned and the creatured was attacking him no one cries even though the are friends wats wrong with that
@sango213 ya cuz these things will happen 1. all the gathered power will explode 2. the spell will finsh faster and 3. u'll just kill yourself by being a idiot.
wait! didn't they just discuss that it is absolutely useless to try magic? why not just try to slash it with a sword or something that wasn't just discussed as useless
@pikachu111100 he rejoins sometime during each of the seasons- youll see tons more of him... too bad he usually goes off when they end though- but yeah hes a permanent member now :P
@eddog6666 Her hair colour changes as a reference to how people often thought witches had orange hair and so exhausted they reverted to white hair/silver hair.
It's a side effect of using the Giga Slave spell. I have no idea why it happens, but it's just the story's way of showing that the spell takes a lot out of Lina. (For reasons that aren't explained until the next season.)
@PostestNote Next and then Try. Slayers Try is not based on Kanzaka's original storyline so I personally don't consider it canon, but it's pretty good.
@queenmidnyte from what people have told me to us it happens really slowly but if this were real it would happen pretty fast XD lol yea me and my friend always use to watch sailor moon when we were little and we rewatch them when were bored, and its so easy to make fun of, but in a good way XD
The "Lord Of Nightmares" is the creator of the entire (Lina Inverse) universe. He isn't just another "Lord," but the creator of all the monsters. He also loves chaos.
I was... sorta expecting her to use the wimpy light spell with the sword and cast an exorcism or banishing spell. That god of 'nightmares' invocation really came out of the blue... oh well.
The life gets sucked out of her, like what happened to Rogue in the Xmen movie. I just meant that it was permanent, in the anime she says her hair "went back to normal" but the novels reveal that she has to dye her hair to get it red again.
she has a more batman-esqe method of dealing with her foes, in the sense that she uses the darkness against those who dwell in it, turn the fear against those who prey on the fearful
becuz light magic is only used to heal nothing more. but black magic is used to destroty and kill. its ur choice of how u use black magic u can use it as evil like shabranigdo or use it for good like lina
The other thing that this appears in is Final Fantasy, and surpising my white mage when attacking regularly (no magic) does more damage then my Black Mage. But, in Magic the Black Mage rules.
If you have played any Final Fantasy game, you would know that Black magic is offensive magic while White magic is healing and purifying magic, as Lina explained earlier, It's kind of hard to fight by healing your opponents
I agree with you Sp3kOps their screams are funny as hell and they really got there asses kicked this episode and trust me after all that i have been through these past 2 years with the lost of my wife i needed the laugh thank you and thanks for the post God blessed me and helped me through the darkess time in my life and i love him for that may he bless and be with you as well if you ever should need him just call and that goes for everybody who reads this GOD Bless You ALL Thanks Guys :)
IMO ---
I think that they should show Commercials of Anime!
Instead of all those stupid Commercials that every1 hates and makes bad comments about they should just give us what we're all here 2 see Anime!
