SynopsisLina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia coincidently meet up again and begin to search for the Clair Bible. During their search they run into a mysterious priest named Xelloss who seems to know a thing or two about the passages they're looking for, but he tends to get them into more trouble instead of out of it. Furthermore, they discover that the Monster race has plans of their own, and as it turns out, Lina and Company just might be a big part of their evil intentions.

Jun 9, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 1 of 1 people found this review helpful Note this is reviewing season two of slayers.
Slayers Next continues on after the happenings of Slayers. We have our returning cast of amazing characters, but we are also introduced to some new ones that do not disappoint. Again the character section gets a 10 because of the witty, comical, and entertaining personalities that all the cast possess.
The story of Next is (in my opinion) far surpassing of that from the original series which is one overall Next scores ...a 9. As the plot develops, we are faced with mysteries and adventures that lead to new and exciting revelations. Along the way, we get a good dose of back story and lots of made of mythology, which i believe to be one of the most interesting aspects of Slayers.
The artwork is the same as season one, although there is improvements in colors and other small details. It probably doesn't deserve a 9 but again I am biased towards the hand drawn/colored style so that is why.
Sound is pretty good again, with the introduction of new characters and magic, we get some pretty nice tunes and effects so its definitely a plus.
i've seen both the sub and dub of it, and i have to say i think the dub is done very well, each voice fits perfectly, it was just kinda hard to get over listening to Gourry at first since he is voiced by the same person that does Brock from Pokemon, but its all good. The sub is great too, but i think its funnier to hear a lot of the puns and jokes in english as opposed to reading them.
Excellent series. if you like it, there is a third and final season afterwards that you can look forward to.

Mar 16, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 1 of 1 people found this review helpful Slayers Next was good in this installment of the Slayers series, OVAs, and movies. I found myself being wrapped up in the story more as it became reviled. While at first it seems like a light comedy it gets darker and darker towards the end satisfying my needs for fun, excitement, action, and drama.
The art was okay for it being from the 90's era. However, I noticed a lot of noise and possibly dust that got stuck when they were taking the frames for the animation so it's not a cl...ean picture. I can't knock on that too much because it's a totally different way of animating a show compared to today's standards and computer graphics.
The same can be said for the sound. The dub audio sounded better than what I listened to for the sub. Once again, there is an age and technology factor so I can't complain too much.
The characters were good. Ones that came in for their second roles still kept the same flare that they did last time. The new comers added an interesting twist. Of course there are always the ones that you can't stand but I guess they did their job.
The show kept me going. I wanted to marathon it straight but I didn't have a chance. Still, I enjoyed it a lot and had fun on the ride. I can't wait to see the next installment of the series.
I'd highly recommend the series. It is one of those good classics that every fan should check out. read more

Mar 9, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 2 of 3 people found this review helpful I never watched the first Slayers series, and yet I was so adamant about buying the Next box set. I had seen more media of it online and therefore became more curious about this season. I am so happy I picked it up too because Slayers Next is THE best of the three seasons. Characters are more fleshed out than in the first series, animation quality went up, and the music is catchy. For fans of the fantasy genre I give you a nudge towards this. Depending on whether or not crack!comedy is your thin...g. If it is however than you will fall head over heels for this comedy-fantasy series. Believe me when I say a lot of moments will have you clutching your sides laughing.
As far as the dubbing goes, I am partial to both Japanese and English. They both have voices that fit and don't fit characters. However that is the beauty of dvds is you can pick and choose your language preference. Aside from that Give a Reason the opening has to be the most popular anime song ever. I hear it everywhere! Also it should be noted later in the series things get slightly more serious, so that is a refreshing change of pace. read more
