I must have classic Anime for any fantasy fan.
Slayers is one of those shows that brings out a real sense of adventure and mirth inside. It was made during a high point in Anime where it didn't really matter how deep or serious or dark it was, or how much blood you showed, or how much fanservice you got. Slayers is simply fun.
The show follows the exploits and adventures of Lina Inverse, genius girl sorcerer with a nasty reputation for being a shameless bandit killer. In these five movies Lina travels the world not to save it or find something legendary, but to better herself and learn new things. Of course it doesn't go quite as smoothly as it sounds. Lina's buxom "sidekick" Naga tags along and provides a polar opposite to the short, fiery, destructive Lina with a fantastic comedic relief.
Through their travels the two get wrapped up in mayhem at every turn, usually unwillingly, or in some cases through trickery and misdirected self-interest. They battle monsters, bandits, golems, dragons, and sometimes even themselves.
For me the highpoint is the music orchestration. The main theme that follows throughout the series is absolutely fantastic, and there are many many times in the films that I got chills from the score playing at just the right time in the action.
The actual DVD box set is very beautiful. The outer case is made of sturdy cardboard, and every side has images printed on it. Each DVD comes in it's own slim plastic case. They all have options for English subtitles and Japanese audio, and there are some small special features but nothing to write home about.
All in all I highly recommend this set of movies.
