Summary: A SERIOUS defect in these discs!
Review: A defect in the Japanese language track has resulted in phase-inverted audio. On pro-logic and 5.1 systems this will result in a spacey sound with extremely low volumes making it nearly impossible to hear what is being said. Central Park Media in their official press release has decided to leave this defect in place making no effort to correct this obvious flaw in their product. Consider this before you spend the $100 on this set.

Summary: Silly anime at it's most serious!
Review: A while back I remember that some people whose opinions mattered highly to me kept telling me to get off my back and go see The Slayers. Sounded like some lame Buffy rip off so I refrained from suubmitting myself to legions of vampires hunting after a scantily clad and lame chick. Then they told me about the plot and I admitted I wanted to take a look. This box set runs over a hundred but I saw it on e-bay for 40 and snatched it up. I watched the whole first season in 2 nights...and now I wish I never had bothered! Because now I have to go spend more money and get the other boxed sets and see what happens to poor Lina and her band of idiots. This story is absolutely brilliant, carefully thought out, and incredibly advanced in it's simplicity. It's a laugh riot and a half. Simple enough plot in the opening....Lina Inverse uses her amazing powers to steal some treasure from some bandits who come after her...and then she is saved (not that she needed saving) by a great swordsman and complete idiot named Gourry(voiced by Eric Stuart the voice of Brock/Squirtle/Dexter and may others on Pokemon). Gourry is upset cause she's not a babe but they travel together anyway running into dragons, an intriguing chimera/golem named Zelgadis, a fish guy named noonsa and Rezo the red priest who is blind and wants a rock called the philospher stone so he can set free and ancient evil that could destroy the world. And even after Lina battles through all that she still has to contend with the not so handsome Prince Phil and his clutz daughter Amelia who is a shining example of what would happen if you put a squirrel on sugar and angel dust and gave hims magical powers, a voice box, and two left feet-it ain't pretty folks. Lina and her band of not so great warriors get into one jam after another and never cease to be entertaining. I love many animes and it's hard to find great ones amongst a lot of the crap but this is a true gem.....why are you still reading this....go see Slayers...if you've seen it go watch it again! You don't want to mess with Lina-unless of course it's that time of the month!

Summary: Let's hope we get more Slayers TV series!
Review: After watching this series I am definetely going to shell out the cash for the Slayers NEXT and Slayers TRY box sets. Megumi Hayashibara is totally kawaii in her role as sorcery genius Lina Inverse and this show is actually a perfect blend of fantasy and slapstick comedy (but do yourself a favor and avoid the dub) so anyone who loves RPGs will feel perfectly at home with the many interesting characters and villians that populate this TV series. I usually don't go for anime of this type, but Slayers is the definetely the king of it's genre. I know everyone criticizes this set for it's audio problems, but it doesn't hurt this great series at all and this is the definite way to own this show! Buy it now!

Summary: Great... except for the Sound Issues
Review: Boy did SS/CPM drop the ball!! They inverted the soundfield for the Japanese audio. Beyond that, this is a long-awaited compilation of the most hysterical cross of D&D and anime to come along in a long time!

Summary: Amusing lighthearted fantasy
Review: First, I should point out that this "special edition" of the Slayers first season is the one to buy. The regular edition has a few problems with the Japanese audio, and inconvenient chapter stops. The special edition fixes the problems and adds a few extras. There is nothing momentous or earth shattering about Slayers. If you're looking for an epic or a strong story, try Lodoss War or Berserk instead. However, Slayers is very funny, and will strike a chord with anyone who's played role playing games, or read one too many fantasy novels. This series has a field day with typical fantasy plot devices. While the humor is lighthearted, and tends toward slapstick, it (surprisingly) doesn't get tedious... Though I wouldn't watch the show for hours on end (the plot simply isn't that gripping), a couple of episodes make for a good night's entertainment.

Summary: Good, except some voices
Review: I give this item 4 of 5 stars, excellent quality and wonderful to watch, my only dissappointment was the english voice actors. Zelgadis goes through three before Crispin Freeman takes over, the previous two were just too timid sounding for the gloomy, angst ridden character. Also as Slayers Next was the first english dub I had heard and Crispin is the voice actor throughout that series, I just associate Zelgadis with Crispin's voice anyway.
Amelia also began with a different voice actor before Veronica Taylor took over, and again this is the voice you hear in Slayers Next.
Otherwise I loved this series and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Slayers

Summary: special edition?
Review: I have seen all of these on tape and this is the starting point for funny series with some interesting twists and turns. It is a fantasy anime with the main character being a young, powerful spell caster named lina inverse (who generally gets picked on for her figure).
But the reason I wrote this is to say I had heard a bit ago about the company helping out people who had bought the previous version of the dvds.
