In the Slayers Next, the second
series in the Slayers Trilogy, The group sets out to find a copy
of the Claire Bible, an ancient manuscript that (of course) is
worth a lot of money and can teach powerful spells. They then
meet up with some new faces, like Xellos, the mysterious Priest
and Martina, the whinny princess. Little does the group know the
danger ahead, they will face many monsters and evil beings. Some
of the groups real intentions come clear after a while, will they
face a demon more powerful than Shabrinigdo?
The animation is improved from the
original series, but the plot is a tad more confusing, but it all
gets cleared up as the story progresses. The voice acting really
matches up for Xellos, where his "annoying personality"
is captured by David Moo. The character development is better and
worse, this series has some more comedic elements but Lina and
Gourry's relationship comes into view. I think any fan of the
Slayers series, or any comedy should try and watch this series.
It contains language and violence.
