This makes me very happy!
-
Now if only Netflix will get those missing discs that I have had to wait over a year to view... :evil:
-
I already own all of Slayers. I am going to be VERY angry if I have to buy it all again just to get this Movie.

Yeah freaking really.... -_-.... Its dumb they say they have those but then dont. And that on the waiting list, it could never come.

Yeah I own all of it too. Im not gonna be happy if I have to do that too. Im waiting for it to leak out online with fan subs.

Freakin' sweet! This is gonna rock! (Even though I think Lina would be better off with Zel, but hey, that's just me).

Well, I bought it so long ago it's all on VHS......although the cheapskate in me reviles the idea of buying it again.
I've got faith in fansubbers though, it'll totally show up somewhere.
now, if only someone would PUBLISH THE LAST MANGA VOLUME IN ENGLISH then maybe we'd be getting somewhere.

I am only grateful my meager japanese allowed me to get through the final volume.....kinda.

AHHH I KNOW!!!!!!!!!
I finally gave in and bought it in Japanese. I can make out a few words, but all the FREAKING KANJI!!!!! I was half tempted to go to class early and basically make Sensee read it to me, lol. But I didnt.
I want the rest of the novels to read too... T.T Apparently Lina faces another person witha peice of Ruby Eye in them, fight Xellos, and Zels and Deep Sea Dolphin.
-
While I would always love to know what happens in the other, like, 6 volumes of novels? I finally got to the point where if someone would just let me read the end of NEXT in dead tree format, I'd be happy.
The fact that both the manga AND novels thawrt me in this is totally unacceptable, and requires explosions and rage.
....So instead I'm sitting on the bus running my finger down the page and muttering unintelligibly to myself looking like a 3rd grader learning how to read. Classy!

Hey, would someone who's read a bunch of the manga answer my question, please?
I heard at Sakura-con that the original reason why Lina left her hometown was because she painted pictures of her sister while bathing. Is this true?

Lina took pictures of her sister bathing to get some money ^_- And handed them out around the town. Her sister "punished her" which is why Lina is so scared of her sister. Lina then decided to go traveling.
-
:shock:
I wanna picture.
Did they ever mention that in the animated series? I don't remember it.

LOL! Im sure if you looked hard enough you could find fanart pics of Luna like that ^__-
No they didnt, they just said Luna told Lina she needs to go out and explore the world if I remember correctly.
-
Well, I remember that Luna told Lina via letter to help Filia, or else, but I don't recall anything beyond that.

Yeah thats about the most we hear about Luna. Anything before that was just little stuff when Gourry was talking to Lina. I think the first time shes mentioned is in the one episode where Lina and Gourry have bounty hunters after them and with Amelias help they are put in a room where Lina has the beads on her that shockes her and she says "Compared to what my sister put me through this will be nothing." Although she might have mentioined for a split second Luna to Gourry earlier than that Im not sure. Its been a while since I saw season 1.
-
I do remember the animators did this flash-thing when Lina asked Filia if the girl in question was a waitress. I think that was the only time they "drew" her, and you couldn't even see her face. It was blacked out by shadows; it almost looked like Xellos, I thought.

LOL yeah! First time I saw her I thought "Female Xellos.... O.O"
Shes also in the opening of Try for a split moment where this thing flashes that says "Sorry only in opening." And it shows Lina all freaked out looking at Luna behind her.
-
Oh, so THAT'S what that was! I actually thought that WAS Xellos. (Now Lina's reaction makes sense).
-

:lol:
Even if it was Xellos Id make the same reaction.
Hes just so evil :twisted:
Of course knowing me... Maybe id glomp him.... :?
-
I don't think Xellos would do that just to creep out Lina. Well, maybe he would just as a gag, or something. Although I could see him "setting Lina up" so that she'll come face to face with Luna.
tee hee hee

HEY GUYS
Screen shots from the new movie:
http://community.livejournal.com/theslayers/133559.html
-
it is so beautiful, I cry.
........-and must download the raw.
-
although it would be nice if it was over 2 minutes long, I must say. u_u
-
I'm pretty sure it will be.
-
I'm pretty sure it will be.
See now everyones confused. People are saying that little opening animation is it, but what the heck I thought it was suppose to be a movie. You cant call that a movie now can you.
Anyway, too see the opening go here:

-
what I read was that there was a 30 minute new animation recap with a voiceover by Lina, and then the 2 minute 'new' thing that's like a new opening.....though calling it that is rather wishful thinking.

That completly dissapoints me... I heard it was a new GourryxLina movie about the romance in their relationship while they're traveling on an Island. :cry: :cry: :cry: That was the most beautiful thing promised to me ever in my life....
-
I know and feel your pain. u_u
perhaps if there is an outcry they might make Slayers Premium Again, or some such.
So I dream, anyway.
-
Wait, I'm confused now. Does this mean no new Slayers, only a recreated one?
-

you can find the 2 minute new thing on youtube.
-
Recap of what, though?
What would I type for finding this thing on YouTube?
-
http://community.livejournal.com/theslayers/134439.html?mode=reply
link to a zip file of the 2 minute thing
and a recap of the 3 series with voiceover by Lina. that's what the Slayers LJ community says, anyway.
-

The people on the funimation forums say:
I don't know if the movie has been released or not. Some folks may have previewed the new OP (assuming it was the real OP theme) but I'm not for sure about that even.
And a link about the supposed "new movie" is here:
http://astronerdboy.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-slayers-movie.html
As for me, Im gonna pray this is just an opening and theres more to come. That people havent gotten the movie yet. I just think this new movie is way to big to be just some little rumor. T.T *glups* I hope.
-
I shall also pray.....> _<
The youtube thing made me all, "God, well that figures." and I would LOVE to be wrong!
-
*prays*
I might as well share here :D Woot, in honor of the "movie!"

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Okay... someone on the slayersfanforums contacted a Japanese seller directly about the new movie and this is what they said:
Thank you for contacting us.
We looked into it, and find out that
Slayars Special 29 DVD is schedule to
release in July. That is only information
we know at this moment.
When it get close to the release date, we
should received more information about it.

So that may have very well just been the textless opening animation.

Ooo, gotta have, gotta have!

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
lol you guys make me so happy.
Im gonna get mine but try SO HARD not to read them tell Kumoricon. At least not the second one. Im trying to save me something to read in long lines I have to wait in for events. Plus with Harry Potter coming, I dont wanna start Slayers then have to stop for the book, then pick up again. OMG I cant wait tell They're in my hands. Part of me wants to Cosplay Lina so bad this year cause if the fandom really picks up by next Kcon I dont want to be one of the 20 Linas there.
-
I've always wanted to cosplay lina, but I've seen it done SO BADLY so many times....also, I'm, uh, "built" more like Naga than Lina. Still, it would be SO MUCH FUN. And I would totally learn how to say the Dragon Slave in Japanese....and remember how to say it in English...and be a total nerd the entire time. Hooray!
I may consider it for Sakuracon 2008, if the movie is awesome and inspiring.
*sniff* oh Slayers, you will always be my first true anime love.

Hey! We could always use a Naga for out group cosplay in 08! ^_^ Most people arent up for doing that though, lol. I have seen it done... horribly... *shivers* and one really good one that was decent and she looked really good :O Were doing a skit too. Although, I cant tell anyone what yet.
-
yeaaah, I gotta call 'not enough guts, little too much belly' so it's really for the best all around. ^ - ~;;;;; I think you GOTTA look really good before trying that, and I'm in "OK shape" not "Wander around in a spiky bikini shape."
I wish you luck, though!
