Slayers Review By Legna

Slayers is an anime about a hotheaded sorceress named Lina Inverse and her travels. She is always accompanied by the simple-minded Gourry Gabriev, a wandering swordsman who she meets in the first episode. They are eventually joined by two others. The first is Zelgadis Greywords, a chimera made up of human, rock golem, and demon. He is also an excellent swordsman and a gifted sorcerer. The second is Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, a clumsy white magic user who happens to be the princess of Seyruun.
Back (L-R)-Gourry, Zelgadis
Front (L-R)-Amelia, Lina

Here are my Pros and Cons.


Pros

  • The story pacing is good. It goes fast enough for you stay interested, but not so fast that you get lost.
  • All of the characters are dynamic.
  • It's funny and action packed.
  • The story line is full of twists.
  • It's very original.
Con's

  • There are two major stories in the first season, even though they fit together in the end.
  • They changed two voice actors mid-series. Zelgadis' and Amelia's voices changed. I'm glad for Amelia's voice change because her first voice actor didn't fit her at all. I just wished they would have either remade the older episodes with the new voice or waited until the end of the season.
  • There was a lot of info to learn. Nothing hard, just a lot. They remind you of key things when needed, though.
Overall, I loved it. If you like action, humor, and a little mystery, watch this anime. I give it a 9.5/10. Link to first dubbed episode here.

Leave any suggestions in the comments below for what anime I should do. Next on my list is Black Butler.
