Title: Bah, it would have been better <the slayers series spoile
Post by: LordKefka on August 08, 2007, 12:38:11 AM
If the ending for Slayer Next happened last instead of Try. I seriously think becoming Lord of Nightmares is more badass and appropriate than the 5 weapons blah blah thing to end a series( not to mention how touchy the scene between Goury and Lina was)... =\

Thoughts on how this would be preferred?

Uhm... welcome to a decade ago?

Most people don't like Try, that's old news. They were just milking the series for more money, and they did just that.

umm...welcome to shut the hell up?

I never got around to Try until recently. Should I keep up with the thousands of Anime that exist? Don't give me your damn attitude about when I should have watched something as well as acting like you seen more. K? thanks.

And when the **** did I ever say Next was better than Try?In fact, what the hell does it have to do with me mentioning the order of ending preference? Do I CARE you bring in random opinions and act like it was something relevant to the topic?  Keep your mouth shut and think and READ before you post random crap.

Okay................?

So you missed out on a staple show of the 90's, that is a basis of most comparisons in adventure anime, when it's very well known recognized and admitted that Try was them milking more.

Do I CARE you bring in random opinions and act like it was something relevant to the topic? Keep your mouth shut and think and READ before you post random crap.
I stated that most people find Next better than try, which is true. I don't care if you didn't say your opinion on that, because I just stated something is all. Can I only directly reply to things you specifically say? Am I not allowed to contribute unless you say I can contribute a specific piece of information?

But just to clear up something. The ending of Next happens because the whole series built up to it. For that ending to happen after Try... Next would have to happen after Try. Otherwise it would be a huge build up to nothing, then a jump to Try's story, then a random ending from a season ago... which wouldn't float well.

Nothing I posted was random, and applied exactly to this topic. It's not "MY FAULT" you didn't watch one of the biggest staple series' of the 90's... but the comment still stands.

Welcome to a decade ago.

PS: Your thread doesn't even have a topic, it's just you whining about how you like Next's ending over Try's and somehow people are suppose to have a discussion about that?

PPS: I'm fairly certain I have seen more.

Ok, first of all, I don't CARE about that fact. You acted like I was saying Next was better than Try, which I didn't. I have no idea what warranted to you bring that out like it had any connection with what I am referring to.

Yes, my topic does have a purpose. It is to express how changing the different endings between Try and Next create a new outlook and coherency of the series in general. That isn't enough to instigate a reasonable discussion with thoughts and comments on differences and impact? Would you actually like me to type pages leaving no room for anyone else to comment on?

This is all you needed to say.

Anyways, what I meant was if there was a way to have the Lord of NIghtmare appear in Try while the 5 weapons ending appear in next without completely changing everything plot wise, and I mean major plot wise.

Destroying Dugradigdo seems more appropriate for Lord of Nightmares to do.

I already KNOW anything past Next was not going to be anymore climatic since we can't have anything above LoN unless he can somehow go super saiyan. I'm saying if it would have been better/preferred/changed.

yea.......not everyone had access to anime back then, for it was still small in the U.S.

heck, i haven't even seen Slayers. does that matter? no, and don't say it does.

just because it came out a decade ago doesn't mean you need to make an insult that was not necessary; we can't watch every single piece of anime that comes out.

Title: Bah, it would have been better <the slayers series spoile
Post by: PyronIkari on August 08, 2007, 01:23:14 AM
Okay, I'll try to use simpler language this time.

Slayers Try The series was made because the popularity of the Slayers was still extremely high by the end of Slayers Next which was supposed to be the end(outside of the movies). Because of this popularity, they made another series, which was quite half assed... which is Slayers Try.

That is why the ending of Next is extremely epic compared to Try, which was just tacked on to make money.

Now, I was speaking of popular opinion, so it very much applies to this thread.

For your logic to work... Try would have had to come first. But this is/was impossible to do since the reasonings behind it, as I've explained.

QuoteOk, first of all, I don't CARE about that fact. You acted like I was saying Next was better than Try, which I didn't. I have no idea what warranted to you bring that out like it had any connection with what I am referring to.
Oh but it is. Next is way better than Try. The ending of Next, the build up was good... Try's overall story and purpose was quite stupid and written quickly just to please fans and make money(It didn't please them that much, but it sure made them money).

QuoteYes, my topic does have a purpose. It is to express how changing the different endings between Try and Next create a new outlook and coherency of the series in general. That isn't enough to instigate a reasonable discussion with thoughts and comments on differences and impact? Would you actually like me to type pages leaving no room for anyone else to comment on?
And I explain for a third time. You CAN'T just change the endings, you'd have to completely change the flow of the plot, which would make it

Slayers->Slayers Try -> Slayers Next.

You can't go...
Slayers ->Slayers Next minus the ending -> Slayers Try -> SLayers Next's Ending

You're right, Slayers Next's ending was better and much bigger in level... because it was meant to be the real ending.

What else is there to discuss?

EDIT:

Otakuapprentice: He was the one that stated it, not me. And I don't care if you haven't, or have seen it to be honest... I'm speaking about reasonings. I watch a lot of old stuff today. Tsukikage Ran I hadn't watched until 2002. But that's way lesser known, and most people have never even heard of it. When you're speaking about a huge staple series, that has been more than discussed to death, etc.

Okay, here' I'll bring it into more realistic comparisons.

If I made a thread right now about Cowboy Bebop and was like "WOW THIS SERIES WOULDA BEEN AWESOME IF THEY FOCUSED MORE ON VISCIOUS!"

Don't even deny most of you would be like "uh... okay?" or maybe a "yeah..." and thought to yourself "this series is old as hell why are you bringing it up now?"

Omg.. it's not what I'm saying...

I already mentioned I KNOW. I'm saying if it would be AWESOME if the different endings would have switched placed. I'm not talking about changing crap that's made or happened.

And I'm fairly certain you have not seen more.

It's called a hypothetical question.  Or, in simpler terms, a question asked for getting a speculative answer.  It.s not as if LordKefka demanded the series be changed.  But I'm sure you'll dissagree with my post to.

Hypothetical questions need a basis of logic. Try's whole existance only exists because Next existed before it. And even then I said...

Next's ending is better and should have come at the end of the series.

You ignorant fool. CB was aired on adult swim and over popularized for ages. I'm talking about Slayers, Slayers Next, and Slayers Try where dedicated Slayers fan would follow through all 3. And Slayers a staple series? Maybe a long time ago? Something wrong with bring it up again? You're going to tell me if I bring up Video Girl Ai, BGC, Ruin Explorers it'll be typical because it WAS popular back in the days? Try again.

It's not logical when I say I think it would have been more awesome and more appropriate if the ending of Try had the ending of Next? O M GEE!

very well put, yet LK only stated that "becoming Lord Of Nightmares is more badass and appropriate than the 5 weapons blah blah thing to end a series", not that it was a better ending.

And the thing about Cowboy Bebop and Viscious? you'd probably be wrong on that.

besides, everyone has brought up an old anime at least once in discussion.

And for your info, Try and Next both had awesome endings. Now hush up and go watch more Anime. You've seriously got nothing better to do do you? I'm seeing if anyone who have seen this trilogy wants to comment on how more appropriate/if they wanted/ if it was more AWESOME if the ending is switched. Do you like wasting you time to TRY and start something irrelevant just because you are too handicapped to understand that simple opinionated statement I made?

You missed to point entirely. My point was about what you posted and stated over "bringing up an old series". I discuss old series all the time. I had a long conversation about Urusei Yatsura a few days ago with a friend. Only it was a real discussion about the series, not a horrible statement about the ending order based on something that doesn't make sense logically.

You're not even addressing what I'm talking about, I don't care that you brought up an old series. You didn't bring up a discussion, just 2 statements about how you think the endings should be reversed... which I explained how it logically doesn't make sense.

Slayer IS a staple. It's a staple in the same way that Eva is a staple. Or the same way Macross is a staple. Or in the same way Hokuto No Ken is a staple. It doesn't matter if newer kids haven't seen macross, or Hokuto no Ken, or Slayers, it doesn't change that it's a staple.

Video Girl Ai wasn't popular... it was a four ep OAV that got very little publicity. But that's just me being an asshole and picking at your word choice.

If you had made a thread about Slayers, I wouldn't have cared, but you didn't it. You were the one that made a thread as if you were an expert on all things anime to make a simple 2 lined statement that had little base to speak on. A 2 lined statement that I destroyed with logic. That's not a conversation piece.

... I'm saying HOW MUCH MORE AWESOME IF <BLANK> HAPPENED INSTEAD OF BLANK!. Open up your god damn brain and let me pour some acid into it.

Urusei Yatsura is WAY more popular than Slayers back in the days.

And Slayers is NOT like Evangelion. Shut you ignorant ass up. Evangelion franchise has been going on for over a dozen years and is still going strong, maintaining it's hype with merchandise, Platinum Editions, not to mention the enigmatic movie soon to make it's appearance. After Try, Slayers vanished off like the other seriesin the 90s like Infinite Ryvius, ArgentoSoma, Betterman, Dual! and so forth, Slayers was NOT well promoted in the states despite it's a long running series as we seen in Hare + Guu and Deluxe which is also a 52 episode Anime with almost no attention despite it's being licensed as well. So you can take the point in bringing up because Slayers was a 3 season show it had to grab many people's attention in the US and shove it up your rear end. The same goes for Macross as it, despite ending a while back, is a long running series with remastered edition being released.

I did not want to go more into it because 1, it's basically a thought I had, and 2, so people don't have to read a wall ole' text just to be pissed to find out how simple this topic really was and requiring to read paragraphs to see it.

You know little about the history of Anime in America do you? Slayers was one of the only long running series you could purchase on VHS back in the days. If you were watching anime in the mid to late 90's in America, you have seen Slayers.

But to cue you in... I could get in contact with people on staff for the EVA movie right now if I had a reason to really do so. It would take pressing ctrl+tab two times and saying "Hey can you give me XXXXX's(name hidden because I don't want people bothering me about it) number, it's semi important." Trust me, I know more about Eva than you do... I know for 100% fact of this. But besides that...

Slayers is a staple series even in Japan. It is and will forever be. Slayers didn't really Vanish off at all, they're just not making more series' and spin offs and games and crap. There are still a lot of fan outlets and it's still a topic in discussion, seeing that it was a staple. Maybe not in your tiny limited circle, but on the larger whole, it is. Go to any major board and you will see comparisons to Slayers or mentions of it whenever a comparable series comes out. I remember when Elemental Gerard came out, 2ch was hillarious. "Why does Lina look like a boy in the new Slayers??????" "Naga doesn't have big breasts, this is terrible!" in almost every single post.

One of the only long running series you can purchase on VHS back in the days? Are you bullshitting me? Maison Ikkoku? Urusei Yatsura? Ranma 1/2? Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water? Don't lecture me about older Anime you newbie.

And back in 90s? Of course, many series were popular back then but rarely brought up now. What you are comparing are Anime series back in the 90s still being promoted and part of a long running franchise like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion. The Slayers game was made in Japan but not released here. There are bare to none Slayer merchandise (figures etc).

Lol? Call up Gainax's staffs? Know more Eva than me? LMAO. Are you serious? Or are you out of anything intelligent to say other than try and boost your self image with lies and idiocy.

Limited circle of fine? LOL. You are so funny. Here, find me the word " Slayers" in any of the topics that exist in this board. Count them up for me and tell me just how popular and well mentioned Slayers is.

yea sorry, but right now that's as believable as America liking George Bush; back it up with proof, 'cause right now i ain't gonna believe it.[/quote]

Try asking a few of the staff members... ^^

The thread is even less about Slayers now, now it's about attacking me for trying too point out something.

I would love to point out some irony. It's easy to gang up on me, because I'm not liked here, but think about why I'm not liked. According to most people, it's due to how I present my information and thoughts in a less than friendly manner. That may be true more orless... I'd like you to now ask how many times I've been directly, baselessly insulted, cursed at, and the such in this thread.

Ah hypocrisy and irony, such lovely lovely things.

I said large, and credible... this forum is neither of those.

Outside of Ranma, Slayers was far more popular than any of those in the US back then. Slayers is more popular in the US NOW than any of those outside of Ranma.

Cowboy Bebop came out at a good time, that's why. It came out right when DVD's were starting up, and got lucky based on that. Same with Trigun.

As Yuuko Ogura put it...

No, it's not how you present your information in a "less friendly manner". You are just incredibly full of shit 98% of times and ignorant when you post, not to mention how you pass off your opinions like they are factual or worthy of any merit outside of your delusional state of mind.

This is better than watching Bill O'Reilly spit out crap by the boatload.

^^ Irony much? You messed up your own post to point out a mistaken quote tag, which then makes your post all messed up. PS I was fixing it before you posted, and am actually talking to a few people. Me, frustrated? Hardly, the only thing frustrating me right now is having to wait to see my girlfriend. Maybe I'm a little worried about  moving as well, but that's hardly frustrating. Though it's kinda funny, I should ask MPLe to post just to say "Uh, yeah, Mikey knows lots of people".

I'm actually talking to a friend about what she should cook for a specific staff member that is working on the Eva movies right now when they finish production... I suggested veal, but there's a back story to it so that isn't that amusing.

Lol. Oh.. so we are now changing the subject which you brought up to mention long running Anime series on VHS to which of those long running series are more popular. How convenient of you to do that.

CB was not lucky. Again, shut the hell up before you open that ignorant mouth of yours. CB, like Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain, FLCL became popular due to their appearances on Adult Swim. They did not "luck out" with DVDs releases you fool. Same with Trigun and it's appearance on Adult Swim. In fact, when FLCL, WHR, CB were still in fansubs, they weren't well known outside of the hardcore Anime community.

OK, everybody shut up!

Edit: I think everyone needs to calm the hell down. This isn't a case of someone being a jerk to someone else, because in the end, everyone was being a jerk to someone else.
