Was Slayers really that good or is it all nostalgia?
Yes
No
Its fun
The anime itself is pretty fucking garbo but I would fuck Lina raw.
watched it recently without the nostalgia glasses and I must admit it doesn't hold up that well nowadays but it sure has some charm, it feels classic
If it wasn't for the porn, Slayers would suck.
Slayers was basically about Lina being great, and you wanting to watch it to see her do stuff rather than being good on it's own. It's definitely not something you'd watch because of the gripping plot. It might be easier for someone new to the series to just watch one of the OVAs or movies rather than commit to watching the TV anime.
Unironically I watched it for the plot and the legitimately interesting setting.
Westerners don't have the secondary materials to know more about the setting.
I'm not trying to say it's something you can't enjoy, but it's not exactly the most gripping thing in the world. It's a comedy with endearing characters first. People who watch it long enough get interested in how the world works and things like who the mazoku are, but that's not a guarantee.
bump
if slayers doesn't hold up i don't wanna be around when you kids watch konosuba 20 years from now
start watching it and find the fuck out, motherfucker
i'm still mad the BDs for this and karekano were just upscales
Just wait for a 20s remake then decide based on it
The characters are what sells it. The setting seems interesting, but I've been spoonfed by anons since the actual content is hard to find in English and some of it isn't translated. I think how familiar you are with fantasy settings and ttrpgs is important for your enjoyment.
>tfw no xellos bf ;_;
I you ever play real paper RPG you find it funny like hell.
Watch it, asshole.
fuck konosuba and fuck isekai trash.
I heard Naga was only in the movie. This true?
Naga is movies and OVAs exclusive.
Truly terrible she isn't in the main series then.
