Maokun's Review Slayers Next is the highest achievement of an already good franchise bringing back the lighthearted parody of the popular fantasy tropes found in role-playing games. However, Slayers is not one of those parodies that cruelly laughs at its subject; rather, it laughs with it, weaving a complex and thrilling fantasy plot while lampooning the details. It is a series I'd recommend to everyone, if it wasn't for its focus in black magic that could drive some concerned Christians away. I will not lie: following the aforementioned fantasy tropes, black magic in The Slayers' universe comes from making brief allegiances with demons to draw from their power and the spellcasting chants are really dark. It is, however, shown that this comes to a dear cost to the protagonist and she must ultimately face the very demons whose powers they have been depending on, so while black magic has a very important role in the series, it is not glorified nor shown under a positive light. |
