Slayers!

Last night Eunice and I finished watching the first Slayers series. I love it because it lampoons high fantasy and, well, stuff blows up a lot. In fact, if Lina doesn't let something have it with the mega-spell Dragon Slave at least every other episode, I'm disappointed. So far I haven't been.

The first Slayers series chronicles the adventures of Sorcery Genius Lina Inverse and her dumb-as-a-brick companion Gourry. The wackiness ensues pretty quickly. The animation quaulity is only so-so, and the english voice actors are terrible. This is definately one to watch with subtitles. Overall the characters are likeable, the plot is entertaining, and stuff blows up a lot. You really can't ask for more than that.

Now we get to start on the next set, appropriately named Slayers: Next.
