Wrede has to be one of my favorite writers, I really need to read more of her articles.

I haven seen exactly what she means for the anime Slayers. Slayers had three season, took a break for about 10 years and then they decided to make a new season. I happen to enjoy the new season, but a lot Slayers fans don't like this season because a lot argue there isn't as much romance like in the original season. The problem with this was that there never that much romance in the original series, it's always been a adventure/comedy series. So, what made some fans convinced romance was a large element?

It's due to all the romance fanfics that were written between the ten years of the seasons. I think it caused a lot of fans to expect a lot more romance even though the series was never actually known for that.

As you said, there are great sequels and even some the surpass the original story, but it's certainly a tricky game in deciding how to write it.
