Via Moon Phase: The Kanzaka Hajime official fan club is reporting that Slayers is to receive a new TV anime adaptation! It will feature an original story and be divided into two cours of ~12-13 episodes each. Direction will be from Watanabe Takashi, with animation production from J.C. Staff. The voice cast is reported to have “no significant changes.”
This news is still officially rumor until it can be corroborated with the upcoming release of Dragon Magazine, but the official fan club source seems credible enough. (no more)
What the…
Hope they wont ruin my childhood classic.
oh, Zelgadis is tsundere lulz
It can be good, but they need to cast Megumi as Lina or the project is doomed to failure.
What’s with this remaking of 90s anime all of a sudden :O
We need a remake of Berserk now. D:
hooray for lina!
Wow! I’m pleasantly surprised. Another 90s anime making a comeback. Then again, it could just mean that the present day creative forces are out of new ideas and need money fast.
(Compare with the comeback of the Spice Girls. Even POLICE is back on tour. Just caught their show in Singapore a few weeks ago. Also saw Santana in Singapore last week. 8D)
Oh. My. GAWD!
New Slayers?!
I can’t possibly have seen better news this week! I can’t wait!! Better yet - will a new series spark new products? I’d kill for a Lina PVC…
I am glad to hear this. Other shows I’d love to see brought back include Demon Hunter Yohko and Galaxy Fraulein Yuna.
Are you serious, blacklotus? Anime running out of ideas? Anime has constantly been at creating new licenses it was almost too dizzying. It’s not about the lack of creativity but that the Slayers franchise had a lot more legs than most people would have openly admitted to. This was a long time coming. Don’t blame it on the anime industry. That’s ridiculous.
