Comments: Choto matte kudasai!!! I noticed some of you guys saying that the Lina/Zel people always bash on Ameria and dispise her for no good reason; I resent that! I am SO pro-Lina/Zel that it's not even funny, but I absolutely adore Ameria! She's just sooo cute!
Now, I understand why people hate the Lina/Zel idea and adore the Zel/Ameria thing, and hey--Whatever floats your boat. : D I think that Ameria and Zel ... well... ::grumbles and mutters:: I s'pose they ARE kinda kawaii.. but anyway, Ameria doesn't devserve all this bashing!! I like ALL the Slayers characters, because they're what makes the series! Slayers wouldn't be the same without Ameria's clumsiness, Lina's temper, Zel's attitude, Sylphiel's kindness, Gourry's idiocy, Xel's mischeviousness... you get the idea. They're all essential, and they all have perfectly good and valid reasons for being there. But anyway, back to Ameria.. I really enjoy watching her make those justice speeches and klutzing out and stuff.. but most of all I love how she interacts with the other chars. It seems to me that she and Lina become especially close in Slayers Next; they're practically best friends! And once Ameria gets over her hero-worshipping phase, she actually DOES start thinking for herself! (example: "If Miss Lina were to get involved in this... Oh, I hope I can stop a war from breaking out!!"<--In the Kingdom of Xoana, first Slayers Next tape. She has sense enough to know her limits, and the limits of those around her as well.) Yes, well, enough babbling.. I'm sure you all see my point--AMERIA IS COOL!! : D

Comments: I don't know why people turn against the bubbly, and a wee bit immature characters. Without Ameria, where would the group be? They need her personality (especially Zel ^_^;) to balance the character clashing. That's my 2 cents. Not to mention she's just plain awesome :p

Comments: I am one of those who has put it on the line to the defence of Ameria (Amelia). Remember, she starts out even younger in the series than Lina did in the OVA's. Many people see things as I/you but she tries to see the right or wrong. This is an objective attitude even if she does gets it wrong at first. She is a princess who has been spoiled by her dad and has had no one to tell her no, remember how she treated the guards as they boud to her when she came home and found the flags at half mast. In the beginning all she wonts to do is learn the dragonslave to punnish bad guys but in the end she learns her lesson. In NEXT she is the one to put her fist out in "all for one and one for all for one." They bonk her on the head to puond some reality into her after watching to much Sailor Moon. Ameria is also becouming aware of how complicated life, relationships and the legal system can be. Remember that in NEXT that she does not wont to know the intent of Phibrizo becouse it might couse a conflict between her legal and moral sence of justice. It is the moral that wins.
She has strenths that show in spite of herbackground. It has already been mentioned that she saw her mother killed, but to have to take sides and be involved in the death of both her uncle and cousen to defend her father means that a part of her has had to grow up early. You can be strong and care at the same time!
The reason that she is put down has been said, too cute, to childish and to good, the one who said that likes the bad guys. How many Anime figures have we seen that we can love and not be drawn as a hot babe? Second, we see her growing up. As for the last, I saw a pole that put Ameria as the one person that you want to have as your sidekick when your life is on the line.

Comments:I don't see how these people who bash Amelia can even be taken seriously. The majority of them are... NOT MENTALLY STABLE! These people honestly believe that if they can rally enough Amelia-haters to support them, they can actually kill her. They think their are the key to altering the plot. They are certain they can free Zel from the bounds of their TV and marry him. I have had nightmares about these people. Although not all of them are like this, much too many are. All of them are insane though, because you'd have to be to hate someone like her

Comments:There has been an injustice committed against our foremost warrior of Righteousness. In searching the Internet for pictures of Amelia and Zelgadis, I found to my horror a plethora of anti-Amelia sites. I was shocked and dismayed. It is hard for me to believe that anyone could hate such a pure and gentle person. You have to admit, though, the intelligence level of these people must be fairly low, because the best reason why Amelia and Zelgadis should not be a couple was that they don't look good together! Excuse me, but shouldn't a relationship be based on how well the people get along, not how good they look together? I'm sorry, but I find I find it downright meanspirited of these people to put down Amelia. I'll bet the only reason they don't like Amelia is because they're jealous that Zelgadis likes her. They want Zel for themselves, which I find pathetic because IT'S AN ANIME FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! Go find a real guy instead of fantasizing about a cartoon character.

Comments:Absolutely true, I agree wholeheartedly with much of what's already been said - Amelia is hardly ever given a chance to rise above all the negative stereotyping she's been subjected to. A pity, because she's such a cool character in her own right, as much as Lina, Zelgadis, Xelloss (all of whom I like.) But Amelia never gets a break - more like a slap, more often, if not worse, and for the most trivial of reasons - annoying speeches (hey, they're funny) justice obsession (whoa, someone with a conscience) Zel infatuation (it's more than that, and so what if it is? It's not as if *Zel* is complaining, after all.) I think she's a strong character with a lot of potential; I like her best of all because she's that kind of character who, were she a real person, would be most like the kind of person I'd be friends with. Well, I could go on (but I already did that!) It's just nice to see other people who also feel the same way about her general mistreatment and aren't! afraid to say something about it. Momoko, Maz, I love your site, I love your arguments - victory will be ours, don't ya know. ^_~

Comments:Amelia is a great character and personally speaking she has faults , but here's the big but so does Lina and almost everyone else on the show. I don't mind the fact she has faults. There are shrines to villians for god sake and they're extremely faulted. In clsoing Amelia over all is a nice addition and if I wanted a perfect character I'd watch the Care Bears. Amelia and Zel all the way.

Comments: I don't rant or rave, but I think Ameria is one of the coolest slayers there is. Sure she can't really top anyone else when it comes to physical combat, but she is extremely strong in white magic and improving as a shaminist. She is always thinking positively, and has the most perseverance of the group. Now whats wrong with that? She was instrumental in the battle with KopiiRezo, and she always does her share to help. I believe that anyone who bashes Ameria should really take a moment and consider what they're saying. Sure, her dubbed voice gets annoying, but thats not her fault. We'd have to bash Veronica Taylor for that one. Ameria is a good person, so lets try to protect her all we can.

Comments: Hi! I'm a supporter of the Lina/Zel couple bias, but pretty much because I think Gourry is as dumb as a rock and that annoys me. I like Amelia, though. I was all set not to like her from what I'd been reading on the web, and then I actually saw her make her first appearance in the original subtitled series, and I thought her voice was great, not annoying, and she was funny without having to be dumb like Gourry. I still think Lina and Zel make the best couple, but that's no reason to take it out on poor Amelia.

Comments:First of all, for people who hate Amelia's guts (although I have no clue of why!), Slayers just wouldn't be the same without her! Well, one reason people might hate her is because of the way she USED to be. I mean, think about it... When she first appears in the series, she is (I admit it) an annoying, slightly cloud-minded justice-freak. BUT BY SAYING THIS I DON'T MEAN I HATE HER! (After all, she is my second favorite after Zelgadis ^_^) But after she meets Lina and the gang, her love for justice quiets down a bit... I personally think Zel made the most impact on her attitude! And I don't know why people hate the Amelia/Zel coupledom! What's wrong with it?!? I think it's sweet how they have changed each other... Zelgadis used to have a lonely, passive, and solitary personality, which converts to being, well... "more alive"! He seems more cheery in the series following the first. And as for Amelia: she kind of snapped out of it once Zel came around, don't you think! ? In the following series, she, too, acts more "normal" (whatever the exact definition of "normal" is! ^_^) I think she is the cutest character out of any anime I've ever seen (she definitely tops Usagi, Miaka, and Pikachu mixed!).
