Summoning the Lord of Plot Thinness: Filler Slave!

Revolution was always going to have a hard time measuring up against Next; the latter being the favourite Slayers season of many, such as NegativeZero.

Next is the Nanoha A's of its franchise and just as how some dropped StrikerS, we saw prominent fansub group Eclipse dropping it after the sixth episode (picked up by VivaLaRevolution [add: due to C&D letter]) and Omni quite uncharacteristically dropped it after the third episode (though continued by Divine). Just as how many A's benchmarkers disliked StrikerS's comparative lack of pace and cast bloat, Revolution's fillers galore drove many to distraction. It seems that, even with respect to the use of fillers, Next trumped Revolution: 'even while there are some totally filler-y episodes (like the tennis one), at least the characters think that this is relevant to their quest,' so sayeth the jpmeyer.
