Summary: Needed a better script
Review: This was a so-so effort that is something that is great for the kids and presented all the basics of the 'Slayers' series in a fairly concise package. Still, I don't think the package was concise enough.

One of the things I've liked about as much of the 'Slayers' series I've seen so far is that the episodes are all swiftly paced and tightly plotted. Gag follows upon gag upon fight scene... there's hardly ever a quiet moment. There were almost too many quiet moments in 'the Motion Picture.'

The movie also failed to capitilize on some of the cooler elements that were introduced; wouldn't a bit more time spent in the past have been more interesting than beating up local thugs on the pier? I for one would have liked to learned more about the elves and the kid who appeared to be an ancestor of Gourry.

I'll continue to work my way through the tapes of the half-hour episodes, though. I'm hooked on the insane adventures of Lina Inverse.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Slayers kick @$$
Review: This was the very first Slayers DVD I ever bought, and I wasn't disappointed, it was funny and had lots of action, even a little drama and romance. I'm not going to bother and try and explain the characters, since practically every other review does that, so all I have to say is that if you are a fan of any of these attributes in an anime, pick it up, you won't be sorry. There was only one small gripe I had, but it was small, while listening to the Japanese language with English subtitles, on scene 2 when Lina is talking to a bandit she tied up, the subtitle sort of appears and disappears in a split nanosecond before it is even able to be read, the only way I was able to read it was by pausing and going frame by frame to catch the subtitle, same thing goes with the Spanish subtitle. But enough about the con/negative; this movie has lots of pros/positives, the Japanese and English voices are all good. Lina and Naga from both languages have voices that suit them both, the time travel plot is interesting, the villian is ugly and evil, the comments about Lina being short startured, feather-brained, and small breasted crack me up, and Naga is well...very grown up in all the right places! Buy this DVD, buy it, buy it, BUY IT!!!!!

Summary: A sloppy Slayers product!
Review: What? How many Swords of Light are there? Two?! What's with this time lapse? Too lazy?! What the heck is going on?! I'm having a LOT of trouble understanding the plot. I understand how our favorite heroine gets mixed up in this but I don't understand about going back in time and the deal with this demon. Maybe dubbed versions are cut up by censors or maybe it was that other sorceress. Anyway, if you don't want to get confused, watch this first or not at all. That way the series will fix it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: refreshingly unique!
Review: When robbers plunder, when dragons strike, Lina Inverse will be there to stop them. This story is marked with the name Lina Inverse from head to toe. Lina is one small petite sorceror who weirdly has a body of a young girl. This is because her growth rate is much slower than the normal girls. However to make up for that, she's bestowed with incredible magical powers. She's also a food gobbler and jump at any chance to make money or plunder any treasure. Robbers and bandits scurry away when her name is mentioned. However, the story take a different turn when with Gourry, she met Rezo, a red priest who is blind. Behind the caring and loving face, Rezo holds a deep dark secret which could destroy the whole land. Lina and Gourry take up the mission to stop Rezo with the help of Rezo's former servant, Zelgadis whom Lina defeated. Their mission will take them to the final showdown with the strongest enemy Lina Inverse has ever met. Laugh! What can I say apart from this word. The whole show is filled with gags and slapsticks that there's no seriousness except when Lina prepares to finishes her opponent off with the mightiest of her spell. Gourry, with his swordsmanship however is another dumb blonde fellow who got caught up with Lina when he rescued her thinking there was a maiden in distress. This light hearted series can really change the mood of anyone after screening through a few episode. Have you ever heard of a gay dragon before?

Rating: 5 stars
