Although not as good as the series, this one's still a good watch if you're a Slayers fan. Art, Animation and Character Design The art and animation was no better than the Slayers series. Character designs haven't changed either.... well, with the exception of Naga, the exact opposite and foe to Lina. Music Nothing here really. It was more or less the same style as the series. Episode and Series Stories If you're looking for the same type of story as found in the series, you won't find it here. This OVA is nothing more than a silly, sometimes funny showing of Lina and her "enemy", Naga. It's good for a few laughs and you'll still appreciate it if you're a fan. I love Lina so I found it worth watching. Overall, nothing much to tell but worth it for Slayers fans. Last updated Wednesday, February 18 2009. Created Wednesday, February 18 2009. | ||||||||

As with Slayers: The Movie, this OAV set lacks the core group that made the original Slayers so great. Instead we get the anti-Lina, Naga. Lina is small, Naga is tall. Lina has a small bust, Naga has a huge bust. Lina dresses conservatively, Naga barely wears clothes. It is supposed to be funny I guess, but there aren't that many laughs. The best laughs come in the first episode and they are all at Naga's expense. If you've already seen the movie or were otherwise aquainted with Naga, you'll appreciate the joke. There are some other small laughs, but nothing really good like the original TV series. The stories themselves are uninspired, and calling them filler does an injustice to the word. Still, I love hearing Hayashibara Megumi scream, "FIREBALL!" as she blasts foes. And it is Megumi that raises the character to another level. However, if you are a dub person, the English cast is different from the TV series. That's anime in America for you. Bottom line: Mostly pointless, but fun enough that I don't regret renting it.Last updated Wednesday, January 14 2004. Created Thursday, September 11 2003. | ||||||||
