天下制覇

Really really not a recommended activity.

Impressions:

Having Slayers start with Lina killing some bandits and then running away from the police is like starting your day with chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, and delicious orange juice. It’s just plain right. I also have to admit that I was dreading Pocotta or Pocotto or whatever the hell that little furball’s name was ever since I noted that JCStaff saw fit to replace the usual extra damsel in the party with a cute furry thing. However, cockblocking Lina by shooting his own Dragon Slave wins him all sorts of bonus points for me. Sure, it’s still probably a cute annoying thing. But it’s a thermonuclear cute annoying thing. The added plutonium makes all the difference.

Basically, it’s more of the same Slayers as always. Just a reintroduction episode, complete with a quick run-down of (most) of the salient character traits; Lina’s arrogance and power, Gourry’s stupidity, Amelia’s justice speeches, and Zel’s… golemness (well, chimera, but whatever). We actually didn’t get to see the Sword of Light at all this episode, but they didn’t really fight anything except grunts and a very phallic magical tank. Seriously… what was that protrusion even for? It shot from the top, not from the giant wand penis sticking out the front.

But anyway… *fanboy squeeeeeeeeeal* Slayers! Even though Lina didn’t go into full on Dragon Slave mode and Zel/Amelia don’t really show their moves too much aside from an Amelia KICK, it was still a very fun episode regardless and I obviously have high hopes for the rest of the season.

Brief Summary:

On the high seas, Lina’s hunting a pirate fleet. They have no idea who she is though, so need some… educating… in multiple ways. Eventually, they try to use a ‘mermaid’ as a hostage, but she recognizes Lina and tells them all the horrible horrible stories about the one who makes even dragons flee. The Seyruun military fleet is also out and about and they crashe into the party, letting the pirates escape, but Lina nukes the fleeing captain.

Lina and Goury enjoy food as usual. Amelia and Zel swing by to say hello, but Gourry’s forgotten their names. With them is an inspector who has something for Lina… handcuffs and an arrest for… well… everything. The rest of the party isn’t really overly surprised. They’ve got an army there to secure Lina too, but she levels them in a single blast and the chase is on. As they reach the gates, a giant tank busts through. It shrugs off Lina’s fireball and Gourry’s sword breaks on it. Zel blocks one of its shots (chimera skin after all) and they start the counterattack, blasting it upwards and then Amelia delivers a huge flying kick. It then starts spinning and causes carnage through the town and army. Time to bring an end to it… but the Dragon Slave is already being chanted. The little furball lets loose, obliterating it (and most of the landscape) while Lina screams in general impotent rage.

Slayers REVOLUTION OP

Yes, they’re streamcaps. No, I don’t care. Eeeeee… Slayers!
