Customer Reviews of Slayers Next Collection 2

Holy...
Let's be honest here, folks-- the Slayers Next, in general, is definetely superior to the original Slayers series, and the second box set is INFINITELY superior to the first, in terms of plot and content. After an utterly hilarious Tape 5 (as always, in each season), the storyline actually begins picking up-- enemies are introduced, key plot elements are revealed, along with, of course, the quirky humor... all leading up to an INCREDIBLE climax in Tape 8 that I guaruntee will knock most viewers out of their seat. As usual, the dubbing is very high-quality... to be honest with you, I prefer Lisa Ortiz's performance as Lina to Megumi Hayashibara's. Eric Stuart, Veronica Taylor, and Crispin Freeman are also excellent, of course. The basic message I'm trying to get across here? BUY THIS PRODUCT. Period.

Exciting fantasy anime!
I complained that the first 'Slayers Next' collection didn't have the cohesive story that I so enjoyed in the original eight 'Slayer' tapes. Well, the last half of 'Slayers Next' pretty much makes up for that deficiency. After a weak start (an episode where some of the supporting cast and the Monster appeared borrowed from the Tiki Loungue), things start kicking into high gear. Finally, we start seeing plot threads come together, the characters start to interact, and the quality returns almost to the level of the original 'Slayers' series.

There's plenty of humour, action, and, yes, even character depth on the last three tapes of the collection. Despite my misgivings after 'Slayers Next Collector's Set Vol. 1,' I am very glad I went ahead and bought this collection anyway. It was well worth it. The last tape in particular had some exciting episodes... they *almost* matched the climactic action of the original series.

Technically, the animation was still a bit on the weak side, but the voice acting (in the Japanese language version) was top-notch, and the storyline was thrilling enough to make up for any short falls.

Assume Nothing and Prepare to be Shocked!
The conclusion of Next is quite possibly the best ending to any series I have seen. Quite literally, this, the second season of the Slayers tv series, leaves you guessing till the end! You won't believe the twists the plot has, mostly courtesy of Xellos. For those of you who don't know what to make of him, I'll just say, "SORE WA HIMITSU DESU!" (That's a secret!) What I was most relieved about was the (once again) centralized plot that was going within this section. It seemed to be missing in the first box set, but apparently that was because they saved the plot push for the end! To sum it up, forget everything you have thought about what's going to happen and prepare for the unexpected and a rollercoaster ride! The last half of Slayers Next is going to move so fast your head will spin!
