Kind of disappointing that this arc only last for the first ten episodes, I thought it would last the entire season.

Yeah the premise of the series makes you believe that this is the central plot line when in fact its merely only the first act of the show

So this one was just for the beginning of the show. Woa. If this powerful demon was the first true ennemy, I wonder how are going to be the others.

These were my thoughts exactly. It's not often in a work of fantasy that the all powerful Dark Lord gets defeated right off the bat. Still, I guess this will allow them to explore a variety of story types which I think will help keep things interesting.

Well, the fight was pretty good. Lina was great, loved that last attack.

Nice to see you here :)

Haha, awesome episode. Liked that Lina's hair turned white. She is indeed that monster in Gaury's drawing in a previous episode lol.

They defeated Shamallamadingdong pretty quick there. I like it this way, he wasn't all that interesting as an evil god.

A 10 ep storyline finished. Didn't expect that but hey it was still good.

Demon King was surprisingly civil in death. Another unexpectation.

Sad to see Xel leave but someday he'll be back. Now what is to come in the next 13 episodes?


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

I was surprised that Lightsaber couldn't damage demon lord :O

But that Lina's final attack was impressive :-)

Hmm. I wonder if there are any mages in this universe that can call upon the power of the gods rather than the power of the monsters. Lina’s black magic relies on the latter and Zel’s shamanist magic seems like a “neutral” type, but neither can use the power of the dragons as far as I can tell.

Regardless, it was a fairly interesting episode. I wonder where the Sword of Light originated? It seems quite powerful.

I’m actually glad they didn’t drag this arc out unnecessarily. It’ll likely give the series more variety.

I wasn't expecting that this arc would only last 10 episodes, but it was still a pretty good watch.

Looking forward what else this series has to offer.

@FMmatron Well, the light novels are rather short. Add to that the various "simplifications" (some introductory books with their own story reduced to a mere episode for example) or necessary changes (part of the original comedy lies in Lina's first person narration for example,or the addition of 100% comedic episodes) and you can't last for more than a dozen episodes.
You'll get a structural change once the anime will leave its novel origins with Slayers Try but I still like the dual stories recipe of the first series, where both scenari are linked.

edit: also, the fact they only had to fight a mere portion of a Lord contributes to the shortness. (had it beenafull poweredone, this would have lookedridiculous by the way)

Woah Giga Slave already? Cool!

At least, Rezo helped and Lina was honest enough about it. He must have been corrupted all those years but he did well in the end.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

So with the help of the sword of light and Rezo's remaining soul she was able to defeat him. Will they really part ways with Zel though? I thought they would stay together for the rest of the season.

Looks like they've finally made their way to Atlas City. Kind of sad to see Lina and Gourry part ways with Zelgadis; I really hope he'll make another appearance later in the series. Judging from the episode preview, we'll get to see some of the other characters in the OP in the next episode. It looks like it'll be a lot of fun, so I'm excited to see what adventures they'll have in the city.

Most intense and epic episode thus far. Sad to see Zelgadis go I hope he comes back so his story arc completes.
