miscellaneous zelame archives: slayers wonderful edition

archiving here since I couldn't find collected screenshots anywhere else. Slayers Wonderful, the series's final videogame, has more zelame than NEXT. not only do we get Zel turbo-yearning (my favorite), we also have exchanges like this:

...and more...

...plus the FMVs we all knew and loved long before they were ever translated, like the rescue and the resulting dinner date with goblin meat:

and of course the most legendary zelame of all:

not to mention he's the one carrying her back to the inn in the scene referenced at the top of this post

who do we have to thank? there are just two story credits: the more junior role, scenario arranger Mizuho Yoshioka; and the overall story supervisor, some guy named Hajime Kanzaka. seriously though Kanzaka may have been pitched various scenes and dialogue that he oversaw, edited, and fine-tuned to make sure they were in line with his vision, or he may have done much of the work himself like he did with Aqualord, which was also intended for a videogame

kanzaka has said he's bad at romance and he clearly never intended it in the novels. but given how much zelame he supervised and approved throughout other continuities, one wonders if he always made someone else do it or whether he wrote some and had guidelines of his own. for all we know he was like "first off, she likes that man in women's clothing, so write that down"

I am so dead, I didn't see the translations (yes i also want to hug Zelgadis by his tiny waist, that man is snatched).

I love those screenshots, I have them saved in safe space, because what do you mean they have a passionate conversation by the table, where Zel for once is not moping nor hiding his face in a cup of liquid, look at this man having fun. Amelia is just her sunshine self in all of those, there;s nothing better than creators shipping the couple for you.
