Reception
While Xellos started off as a single-arc character in the original novel series, his enormous popularity among readers (he was ranked 1st in at least one of the popularity polls, surpassing even the main character Lina Inverse) allowed him to be included in the last novel and in all anime seasons following his introduction. Akemi's Anime World describes Xellos as "one of the best characters in Slayers," saying there is "much more to him than initially meets the eye." The Escapist Magazine calls him "a key addition to the Slayers Next cast as the manipulative force steering Lina and company."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
