Details on the airing of the next season of Slayers Revolution, cunningly titled Slayers Evolution-R, have been announced; we hear that the first broadcast will be 9PM on the 12th of January, 2009, on AT-X. It’s yet not clear whether other stations will carry the series.

It looks as if Slayers enjoys something of a blessed fate, for despite disappointing ratings and DVD sales cancellation seems to have been off the cards from the start.

Slayers fans will doubtless be hoping for a resurgence in popularity, although the difficult line the series has to walk between garnering new fans and maintaining its old base seems to suggest this may be difficult.
