beccastareyesDay 13 - Worst installment of a franchise you do like: Slayers: Hourglass of Falces
Gonna be honest here. I read the plot summary, and it wasn't bad. Plus, it's the only non-novel appearance of Luke and Milina, and the only time they get to share the stage with Zel and Amelia.
The big turn-off was the art, and the gratuitous T&A and costume changes. Considering one thing I like about Slayers is that most of the women are dressed in the same impractical way as the men, rather than in the chainmail-bikini impractical way, it's a bit distracting. Plus, the posing distracts from the story, rather than adding to it.
You can see it a bit in the cover, in the way Lina is twisted, and in the 'vulnerable' poses of Amelia and Milina, compared to the combat poses of Gourry, Zel and Luke.
I bet you thought I was gonna say Slayers TRY or something, huh?
Though at least there was a gag comic about Amelia's costume change being a Seyruun custom that was her mother's idea. And Amelia's (not-so-)secret love of sentai.
