| Before anyone gets excited, lets get it clear that KeroKero ace is a children's manga anthology and hence any dealings will be with a 9-13 year old demographic in mind. |

Great, so that means this manga will be G rated and almost no action scenes? Why would Slayers be put in a kid magazine anyway? |

| I'm happy that Slayers is still popular, but I'm having a hard time picturing Lina and the gang in the future. Oh well, I'm sure good writers can pull it off just fine. |

| Slayers should NOT be futuristic. It's appeal is the fantasy elements. Argh |

What is it that the late Arthur C. Clark said:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I think a series like Scrapped Princess is a perfect example of this. It's quite possible to make a very convincing fantasy in a sci-fi setting, and vica verca. |

Shonen Jump is aimed at the same age group. Do they lack for action scenes? |

But not all of Shonen Jump titles are made for kids, most of them are directed for teenagers to adults. Since all I can find is images of Card Captor Sakura mascot, Kero, I assume KeroKero Ace means "Flying Mouse Ace".
I've always thought Slayers was set in a fantasy aspect, not futuristic setting. |

You are aware it's called Kerokero Ace because it caters to Sgt. Frog, which contains action. It also runs Gundam 00 and Soulcalibur Legends according to the wiki. |

Wait wait wait, Slayers set in the FUTURE? How are they going to explain Zelgadiss?
...
Unless they make him some kind of... I don't know, cyborg? Alien? Suffering from some terrible skin disease? (called Golem-itis?) |
