Summary: Slayers divides into three seasons, the original series, Next and Try. The story is basically about a young sorceress Lina Inverse and her adventure with a bunch of yahoos. Lina goes around traveling doing jobs (out of her own interest) and is always in search for something that in the wrong hands other wise could destroy the world. It's hard to summarize the series; the first season has to do with a kind of philosopher's stone. We meet up with charcters such as Gaury, Amelia and Zelgadis... and the villans of course. The second season continues with all of these characters and new ones such as Martina and Zellos (whom you don't know which side he is on) and their search for the Clair Bible. The last season deals with the battle among Golden Dragon's and Ancient ones and their race to stop an evil entity from entering the world. We meet with a new character Filia, a golden dragon, who has asked for the help of Lina to stop this from happening. There are also about four movies that take place before the series with mainly two characters, Lina (of course) and Naga (as powerful as Lina but is an idiot who likes to swing her breasts around and has a haunting laughter. Ah! don't forget the specials also.

Personal Opinion: Slayers is a great comedy with a very good storyline. We realize that all three seasons connect towards the end, in other words try to watch them in order so then it is better understood. The action is great and the comedy is greater. But to be honest Next is the funniest of the seasons followed by the original one and last Try. Try does have its comedy yet the tonality is more serious than the other two seasons. Slayers is a lot of fun to watch and will keep you laughing even after you've finished. The movies are a must see as well, except that The Motion Picture is not all that good but it's okay as for the specials... well you decide.

Ranking: If you've had a bad day, and you feel like making your neighbor disappear from the face of the earth.... have some laughter, this series will make you forget.... until you turn off the tv.... spooky!  5 of 5
