5.0 out of 5 stars More Revolutionary than its counterpart
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2010
Verified Purchase
Slayers Evolution-R absolutely 100% redeems the previous Slayers Revolution of its mediocrity. Slayers Revolution wasn't terrible, but it was disappointing, and seemed mostly pointless. Evolution-R is another story. It is exciting, funny, and in some ways more revolutionary than its counterpart.

Evolution-R follows the tried and true Slayers formula closely. It starts with silly episodes and later moves on to more serious ones. The silly episodes here are still a little weak, but they are better than the silly episodes in Revolution, and some of them even advance the story and develop the characters a little, so they are not entirely pointless. The serious episodes are where this season shines.

The Zuuma subplot is interesting, and managed to make me like the character quite a bit more. In Revolution, I found Zuuma very annoying and found it hard to believe the Slayers would even have a problem dealing with him. In this new season, Zuuma gets an interesting plot that puts the Slayers in a unique situation, which allows for some good character development on Lina's part. It was good to see the Slayers in a situation where they had to show a little self-control and reasoning, rather than just blasting everything in sight.

Many have complained that the climax of this season feels recycled and uninspired. I disagree. Yes, the finale is reminiscent of Season 1's finale, but there are enough differences to make it interesting, and the updated drawing style helps too. In season 1, I felt that it ended very abruptly, and they never really gave ample time to wrap up and provide closure for Rezo the Redpriest. This season provides us with that closure, and gives us some insights into Rezo's mind. Plus, we get to see Rezo fight Xellos, and we get to see Lina fire off a freaking volley of Dragon Slaves. She's never done that before, and it was fun to witness.

The best part of this season was the character development. Slayers is generally lacking in the character development department (mostly because they like to focus on humor) especially when it comes to developing characters besides Lina. But this season gave at least 1 episode to each of the other 3 main characters. Amelia and Gourry both got rather silly episodes, but they did build their characters a little nonetheless.

By far the most interesting and exciting part of the season is the episode that focuses on Zelgadis. This episode alone is worth the purchase in my opinion. After 4 seasons and eleven years, Zel finally gets one episode that builds his character and gives us insights into his conflicted mind. The part where Zel confronts Rezo is absolutely priceless.

So, is this season perfect? No, definitely not. It certainly has its flaws. The anti-climactic resolution to the Zuuma subplot comes to mind. But it has greatly improved everything that we saw in the Slayers Revolution, and it has surprised me with good character development, and an exciting story. Nothing will ever beat Slayers NEXT in my mind, but this season does a good job nonetheless. I give it a perfect score because it is the PERFECT addition to every Slayers fan's collection.

For those of you that haven't watched Slayers (as if they'd ever be reading this review), go watch it, NOW! For Slayers fans, I guarantee you will greatly enjoy watching this season. A must buy for all slayers fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Here
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2011

The rumored Fourth and Fifth Season had really seemed likt it would never arrive, but its finally here and it didn't quite disappoint.

For those enthusiasts who might have disliked the Tenchi series, when the artwork kept changing, this might be a bit disagreeable for them (or really anyone who doesn't like when the way an anime is drawn changes from season to season).

Still they kept the elements of their outfits the same, as well as the feel of the show, which is more than we can ask for when it has been so long since its debut.

The English Dub actors pretty much all came back, although the voice of Xellos was a bit of a surprise for myself. Still while there hasn't really been any real character development among the characters, it still keeps to the fun that the previous seasons had. It isn't Slayers NEXT, but it is more similiar to TRY.

Besides bring Rezo back kind of puts us full circle, which I like. Overall a great season.

4.0 out of 5 stars A high-quality and welcome update for The Slayers series
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2010
Verified Purchase
As the second of two thirteen episode collections comprising the recent Slayers anime series revival, Evolution-R more than lives up to expectations...though it at times safely and rather blatantly borrows from the past to ensure doing so.

Picking up from Season 4/Revolution--what most other anime series would call part one of a single season--Season 5/Evolution-R (part two, natch) starts off with a batch of lighter-weight episodes after Lina and company (including Revolution newcomer Pokota) discuss what to do post-Revolution. These are enlivened by the entertainingly irritating "Nama", an animated suit of armor with a voice and personality that distresses Lina in their familiarity as much as pitch. As we move further along the main plot asserts itself, things become more serious, old nemesis Rezo--seen on the cover itself--figures more prominently, and the overall stakes build towards a harrowing (and pyrotechnic) conclusion.

The aforementioned borrowing of elements mostly comes from what many consider the strongest of the earlier Slayers seasons, Slayers Next. A scene involving Lina realizing how much she relies on Gourry simply being there must have given Lisa Ortiz (Lina's defining voice actress) a serious case of déjà vu. And the final episode even more so.

Technically, the series shines. In full widescreen, smoothly animated and bursting with color, Slayers has never looked better. Indeed, it competes visually quite well against the wider anime landscape. Audio is also of top quality, with extra kudos directed to the exceptional English dub.

Funimation went out of its way to secure the "primary four" American voice actors for Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia. All not only reprise their earlier roles with confidence, but in some cases sound even better. Such as Veronica Taylor as Amelia, who manages to revisit every ounce of energy the character had a decade ago, but now in crisp 5.1 surround audio.

Some other important characters have been recast as necessary, and the results also shine. In particular, Xellos and "Nama"--a name that Xellos himself remarks sounds "close enough" to what you may be thinking--have been solidly recast, with voice actors that remind of the past efforts while remaining individual.

Similarly, Evolution-R itself works safely within the familiar Slayers framework yet maintains a solidly individual, updated feel. Bolstered by the crisp visuals and the exceptional English dub, Evolution-R is highly recommended to series fans. Evolution-R also works for newcomers, even standing alone from Revolution, but they will benefit from the forewarning that the silly antics of the first several episodes are not representative of the relatively more serious episodes that the show shifts rather sharply into later on.

It's got a fairly good plot, too. Seriously, the animation is drastically improved from the first Slayers series, and the soundtrack is too. I only hope there are many more to come!

I love this show so much. Happy they made another season. Not that happy about Zelos and voice change though. And it seems like they were bored or lost on what to do so they brought back some old characters. But Lena and Gourie still rock!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slayers Evolution-R
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2010

Slayers evolution-R carries on right from where Slayers Revolution left off, it is more accurate to described this as the second half of that series. The storyline is wrapped up neatly although it is a little bit predictable.
The quality of the animation is good throughout the series with some very exciting battle sequences.
My only point of discontents with the last two Slayers series is there is not been enough comedy, the writers got the balance absolutely right in Slayers Try where did they go wrong with these tow? Well if you ask me there is just not enough Xellos.
As a whole this series lives up to the standard of a Slayers series will its highs, lows and the ongoing question will Lina and Gourry ever be an item.
