Considering how many years it has been since Slayers first came out and that they have a different art staff, this art is impressively similar. Amelia and Zel are dead on, although Lina and Gourry look slightly different in profile. I'm more concerned about the story which started a bit slower than I expected but then picked up fast.
Also, it took me half an hour to download both episodes currently out, so now is the time to grab 'em.
I'm loving it. I approached the first episode with some trepidation, but when I finished it I realized that this was definitely still the Slayers I knew and loved.
I thought the first episode was trying too hard in a bunch of places, but the end sequence of the episode with the new character was pretty cool. Looking forward to watching the second episode today. Here's hoping that it (and indeed the rest of the series) will be better overall than the first episode, as I have been a big fan of Slayers since my early days of being an anime fan.

I've read the manga, tho.

As for the art, it's on purpose, the character designs are still the same and so on, as to create that same Slayers feeling or something.
