Please Dont Try Again.......2007-06-11

Next to Slayers and Slayers Next this chapter is nothing at all. In fact this is the only one I didn't watch continuous. I came into this expecting exactly everything I saw from the first 2 but it seemed more of a rehash and it was just... there.

It's like they took no time at all to put this one together. The general plot isn't as captivating this time around. The comedy is alright at best and the side stories that give you a rest from the general story are just dumb and have a very low entertainment value. The new characters both good and evil were mediocre at best. Only Valgaav and his tragic origin actually added any real substance to the story and kept me wanting to see what happens next. Then later on its the same formula. Skip the main plot and a bunch of side stories which is mostly skip material.

Well I agree with the other 3 to 1 star reviewers saying this is a sad addition to the series. A certain character was mentioned and you wondered why the mere mention of that characters name sent around so much fear, but that character was never introduced. The last 5 maybe 6 episodes saved this from being a total dud. I recommend this ONLY if you must complete your collection. I cant stop repeating how this final chapter pales in comparison to the previous 2.

Pretty bad.......2006-08-21

Basically a rehash of the first two Slayers series, with the gang embarking on a quest to thwart a demon-dragon demi-god named Valgaav, who has a blood feud going on with these golden dragon guys and was a servant of Gaav the Demon Dragon King. However, the 3rd entry in the Slayers TV series lacks the charm and comic timing of the two previous series. By this point the novelty had pretty much worn off and the over the top nature of the characters and humor was more annoying than actually funny. A sad end to the Slayers TV adventures.

Sad Cunclusion to Great series! (Sad Ending).......2006-01-03

I have always LOVED The Slayers and The Slayers Next since i was little!! I used to watch them every Sunday on The International Channel, along with Dragonball Z, znd GT. So, this boxset has less special features, and it has Breeze (slayers try opening) when the DVD loads, and the menu pops up, it was scary the first time!! The plot got kinda complicated at times, and i REALLY HATED XELLOS in this series, he seems more EVIL, not as nice like in the slayers next, when he just screwed with their lives to get a laugh, in the slayers try, he agrees that he will (try) to kill Lina Inverse!! I did not give anything away there. The ending is soooooo sad though, i don't understand it either. The Slayers Try is more involved with the plot, not as many random episodes, although the humor is still T-RIFFIC. Amelia almost swears! Zel is even more evil and independent (evil as in people call him evil names, and he loves it) Gourry is even dumber! (the more the series, the dumber he is!!) and Lina has um... not really changed at all since next! You meet Filia too. The bigining SUCKS! but give the show some time, it will soon get better.

P.S. You learn a lot about Luna Inverse...(Lina's Sister) in the second episode and on! I just wish that you could see her!!

It all comes to an end.......2005-06-19

If you enjoyed Slayers...and you enjoyed Next...then you MUST have Try. As always it starts off a little slow but thankfully the comedy kicks in. Not all of the episodes are long drawn story based, you get a few back and forth that just make you sit back and enjoy. Also a special feature at the end which lets you meet the cast. The only thing I had noticed is if you didn't watch all of the previous installments it may be a little bit confusing. All in all I found this very enjoyable and at the end you're left with satisfaction that is' finally over.

Slayers Try!! Love it or Hate it. Hey it's Slayers .......2005-01-14

Ok, so the 3rd season of Slayers is a little lame, but I found it to be as funny as Slayers Next. Slayers Try finishes off the Slayers series which was very funny from the start. Who would have thought this series would last 3 season and spawn several movies and a special or two. Slayers Try brings an end to a series that could have gone another season or 2. Linna and Gorury are back so is that rougish Xellos and the rest of the gang for one last season. Here we are caught in the middle of another monster trying to take over the world. Xellos role is less but I really thought it should have been in less in Next. His tag line is "That a secret" is missing from this season. This tag line was Xellos's only saving grace. This season could stand without him all together. Not going really tell you everything but keep an eye on the sword of light. That's it for now kiddies. If you like Slayers you will like Try. IF you haven't seen Next Try will be very confusing to you. Hey the movies are great as well. Naga keeps Lina on her toes in the movies just like Gourry keeps Lina on her toes in the series.
