How did Slayers Revolution end up compared to previous installments?

I've seen up through episode 12 and I like it (haven't see 13 yet). I liked seasons 1 & 2 more than season 3, although I certainly see the other person's point about only so many episodes actually advancing the plot in season 2, with a number just being "funny interludes". There was one episode in season 4 that I remember that had to be there only as a joke - that episode wasn't the best but was kinda funny. I think overall the story in revolution is very interesting and is closer to the original novels (the whole thing with Zanafar, Duclis, and Zuuma) which I like. I wonder if they'll take the Zuuma thing out further in the second half of the season. The battle so far seems to me to be drawn out more than the battles in season 1 but is still very good. Overall, I'm quite happy with revolution. I like it about as much as seasons 1 & 2 and more than season 3. Not that I think 3 was bad, I just liked the other two better.
