That's awesome you love Gokudo and Ruin Explorers. You want Slayers though. Trust me, I LOVE the medieval setting comedy shows and Slayers has a little of both. Have you seen Rune Soldier yet? It's also pretty good. And it's in a very cheap thinpak for $24.

As for Sorcerer Hunters, I've only seen the 1st episode. I own all of it but my backlog is just too big. I'm not one who pays much attention to small details but I'd say the animation is older, but it doesn't bother me one bit. I can't say much for the overall enjoyment or replay value other then I've fallen asleep at episode 2 about 3 times in a row. But it doesn't help I save it for last when I'm dead tired either.

So if you haven't seen Slayers or Rune Soldier yet, I highly recommend you check those out first. Slayers definitly first, it's like 78 episodes of the TV and several OVA and movies. Really one of my first animes and I can still watch it and get as much enjoyment as I did the first time. Overall best replay value for this genre IMO.

Well, I haven't seen Ruin Explorers or Gokudo, however Sorceror Hunters is damn funny. Plenty of likeable characters - and characters you love to hate. The concept of replay value is limited with me - too much backlog of unwatched, to even consider re-watching.

Animation quality was quite good.

For the $28 you'd pay at Righstuf, definitely worth it.

yeah i've seen rune soldier which is also pretty good. i am waiting for funimation to re-release slayers so i will most definitely get it when that happens. man it's not a good sign that you fell asleep midway. perhaps it was not interesting enough to make you want to see more? but i wanna hear from more people. please comment on the replay value of Sorcerer Hunters. thanks very much.

Okay animation, fun characters (if a bit one-note at times), but little replay value. The first couple episodes introduce the basic premise, but then it meanders and does lots of filler for a while. The main plot gets going about halfway through, and it picks up and resolves nicely, but at the same time it didn't leave me much interested in seeing it again for a while. It's been a couple years since I first watched the show all the way through, and I'm only just now seeing it again (for the dub).

I thought that it started out being a lot of fun, but it slowly got annoying to the point where I just didn't like it anymore, and I'm still not sure why. I still haven't finished watching the 4th volume. I wouldn't recommend it.

IMHO, Sorcerer Hunters wears out what little "replay value" it may have had by recyling the same jokes and plots over and over again. By time you reach the end of the series, you'll feel like you've already re-watched it a half dozen times.

I second Balthiers reccomendations of Slayers and Rune Soldier both are quite good and Rune Soldiers pretty cheap now.

[balthier2012]

Well since you've already seen Rune Soldier, and you want to wait on FUNI's release of Slayers (although I think its too good of a show to be waiting) you could try:

Those Who Hunt Elves while it's not nearly as good as either of those IMO it has some interesting ideas and comedy (about stripping elves nude! and they is female priestess usually [img]/images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif[/img] ) but I found it got repetetive later on. However some if not more might disagree and say that it's an amazing show overall. I'm just strict about my medieval comedies cuz Slayers and Gokudo made me have such high standards [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Overall it is worth the $24 thinpak it's in now like 24-26 episodes I forget. It "may" bide about 1/10 of your time waiting for the Slayers rerelease.

animation quality?

Standard TV fair. They waited til the final episodes to put out some gorgeous-looking animation.


likeable characters?

A likeable group of Sorcerer Hunters, but they all have their weird hobbies too.

replay value?

Not a whole lot. Maybe just the actual "story" episodes.
