I definitely recommend the anime. I personally prefer the Slayers dub over the sub because it sounds so much funnier in
english! I find it harder to laugh at when watching it in japanese, and darn it, this is a series that deserves
laughter!
i do believe Funimation got the rights to rerelease the series and plans to re-dub a few parts to maintain the original
japanese text a BIT more... Personally I think changing how they called "Mazoku" "Monsters" or
"Monster Race" is the most prominent thing they might change since it doesn't really distinguish them
much from any regular monster much. And they may also go for actor consistency... I so hope they do and re-dub the first
4 volumes with Veronica Taylor as Amelia and Crispin Freeman as Zelgadis. The first Amelia dub voice is SO annoying...
and Crispin Freeman rules. Plus they continue to play those characters for the rest of the series (all 20 volumes after)
AND the movie. I look forward to Funimation's re-release if they're really going to do the changes I hope for~
(If they call the Mazoku their proper name of Mazoku in the rerelease, I'll adore it~)
And I think I'm ranting...
Well anyway, Slayers is an all-rime favorite of mine.
