It was licensed, still is I'd wager, unfortunately it was held by Geneon. I don't know if anyone else plans to pick it up. Hard to say. |

Whoever gets Hellsing Ultimate will be the one that gets all of Geneon's titles from their departure, up to now. Since ADV is in the money pit and Funimation is scrounging for budget licenses, none of them are willing to cough up the $$$ needed to grab the big titles.

Hear we go again, even though I've seen both two seasons, I am not in the least pleased about the third season.
The first season was excellent, limited fanserivce, lack of Lousie's tsundeereness and Saito didn't act like such a teenaged idot. The second season was more horriable than the any season of anime I've watched in the entire six years of my anime viewing. Every three to five mintutes there was crass fanservice, Lousie blasted the living day lights out of Saito every episode and Saito made even Ranma look like a genius. Saito flirted with more women than any pretty boy anime to date and was so perverted, even I was disgusted. Just looking at the image of the third season, I am sure this series will just be as bad. Lousie looks like she is ready to beat down someone and that elf loooks like a airhead but the classical "kind, yet embarassed look". I am glad Geneon never passed on this series to any other company, this series would only be tolerable to 90% of the disturbing fanservice was removed and Lousie wasn't so mean. |

So you would still recommend that I check out the first series? |

Sure. The first season is fun. It is essentially a collection of anime cliches but it looks great and as long as it doesn't take itself seriously it is good fun. It starts to fall a part when they attempt anything dramatic, the characters are just too flat for that to work. One of the funnier things in the series is that they don't even try to hide the plot twists. They deliberately let you see everything comming miles away. Look for some silly romantic harem comedy and a little action, Don't take the series seriously and you'll be entertained. |

The first Zero no Tsukaima series was a pretty decent show if you were desperate for something even remotely similar in tone to Slayers (with a main female character who looks suspiciously like the mangafied version of Hermione Granger from certain Harry Potter doujinshi), but now that Slayers itself has returned from the out-of-production franchise abyss, I don't know if I'd bother watching another season of "Slayers Lite".
I think the problem I have with the show is that the story felt like something that should have been given a full 26-episode season, like Slayers, but, as a late night anime, it only got half the number of episodes per season, with an even greater emphasis on the comedy, including some harem elements not present in Slayers, so the fantasy action parts of the story felt kind of rushed and a little hard to follow sometimes. (Not that I'm complaining about the comedy; serious magical fantasy with no comic relief bores me to tears.) But I can definitely thank Zero no Tsukaima for creating enough refreshed interest in the fantasy comedy genre to revive Slayers for a new season. |
