Not sure if anybody had heard yet, but Hajime Kanzaka (creator of Slayers) has stated he is going to work with Takashi Watanabe (who will overview the J.C. staff that worked on all of the previous Slayers) to make a new Slayers series titled "Slayers Revolution."
My source is Wikipedia, but they source Fujimi Shobo's Dragon Magazine, not to mention the news is on Hajime's official website, so the news is real!
The Slayers are back!
I know! I'm so excited! When I finished watching the series and some of the movies I was like, "Ah man! That's it?" Then I heard of Slayers Revolution and got so happy. Not to mention, I heard Xellos is going to be in Revolution a lot more and he was my favorite character. Didn't like his English dubbed voice actor though. Oh well! Still, I'm so excited!

The official Japanese website has opened for the Slayers Revolution television anime series and confirmed that most of the main Slayers staff and cast are returning. Director Takashi Watanabe, character designer Naomi Miyata, and the animators of J.C. Staff are working on the new anime series as they had on the first three Slayers television series. Joining them is series script supervisor Jiro Takayama, who worked on the two previous television sequels. Author Hajime Kanzaka and illustrator Rui Araizumi are still credited for the original novels' story.
Megumi Hayashibara will reprise the role of Lina Inverse. Yasunori Matsumoto (Gourry Gabriev), Hikaru Midorikawa (Zelgadiss Graywords), and Masami Suzuki (Ameria Wil Tesla Saillune) are all also returning. Noticeably absent from the current official character list is Xellos; last month, Dragon Magazine printed a tongue-in-cheek page spread that hinted — but not stated — that Xellos would be the main lead this time.

First episode premiered in Japan yesterday and the raw torrents are already out. Can't wait for fansubbing of this awesomeness!
shareMy brother told me and I got SUPER SUPER happy!
Lina and Gourry better get together in this
series, or I'll be uber pissed lol.
And I'm glad that Xellos is returning!
He's my favorite character too!
I hope they get all the original voices
back for the English dubs. That'd be great.
