Slayers is a popular anime that was released on 1995. There are three current season available that we know of: the tv series, next, and try which include the same character in each season being Lina, Gourry, Zelgadiss, Ameria and new, main characters that come and go in each season. There is also movies and OAVs that goes on a journey with Lina and her "sidekick", Naga.

The tv series (which is already released in the U.S. by Software Sculptor).

The Slayers is a comedic take on an epic medieval saga that uses the contrast of knight and dragons with humor and violence. There is not much romance in this series like Mysterious Play (aka Fushigi Yuugi) which is far more dramatic than Slayers. But it would be nice if it was a romance anime in which they include these character. *sigh* That way it will be all dramatic that I can cry.

Slayers takes place with the main character, Lina Inverse, a powerful traveling sorceress, looking for bandits to rob, eating food, and saving the world from danger. On her way to Atlas City, she was surrounded by the Dragon Fang (a bunch of bandits which Lina robbed earlier) in a forest clearing. They were taking revenge for their dead boss, but were too afraid to fight her so they ask if she would join the Dragon Fang. She says no and they got angry and starts to attack. Lina, fully prepared to defend herself RUN FOOL, RUN!!! hehehe. He asked Lina if she was okay without looking at her first, then upper his head and saw she was just a kid. He starts saying how he thought he was saving a dansel in distress, than a flat chested toothpick. Lina was shocked to notice that he was looking for a babe to save and not undeveloped girl. But she decided to thank him. He treated her like a child and asked if she was lost, was she with her mommy. Lina replied,"No, I'm all by myself!"

Gourry start babbling on how bad it is for a kid to be walking alone, and decided that he would be her body guard. He said he was going to guard Lina to Atlas City until she is safe (I think he needs to care about his safety). He introduced himself as Gourry Gabriev, a mercenary. Lina then introduce herself as Lina Inverse.

Slayers Next is the second season that is currently being released from January (I think) to October 1999. The second season is about the secret to the Giga Slave. It start off with Lina and Gourry fighting over food in a restraunt and causing a riot. They eventually have to deal with two bandits that they happened to offend. Ameria happpened to appear at same area where Lina and Gourry are at, Xoana, as a more serious member of the court of Seyruun and is acting as an ambassador for the kingdom. Ameria tells them that a war may break out because of Xoana military buildup and it is a threat to surrounding kingdom. Then Martina, the King of Xoana's daughter, shows up on top of a light thingy and jumped down, but crashed instead. Ameria shows her how the right way to land but end up crashing to the floor. Zelgadiss then showed up working as a mercenary for the kingdom, in return for the 'Book of Xoana'. Amelia start thinking about that Zelgadiss will give mercy to Amelia when she then discover she was tied up. They hung Amelia up to a ceiling, and a loud blast was heard near them. Of course, Amelia, knew who it was. Lina bombed the castle that Amelia, Martina, and the King of Xoana were in. Lina did her regular introduction and so did Gourry. The guards attack but Gourry quickly finished them up. Zelgadiss show up and said he was going to kill Lina. But the book he was to have in return was making Golem, which disapoints Zel and turn against the King. Martina and the King runs off. The group caught up with the king and Lina tells him his option of who shall beat him up or to give up his castle and everything around it. Martina showed up with her big Zomelgustar golem and plan to bomb Lina with it. But, it was too old and broke down along with the king. The machine went out of control with lazer shooting off everywhere. Lina eventually used her Dragon Slave and blew Martina's Kingdom up (hehe^_^).

The third season try, is about Lina preventing the Dark Star from being reborn and recovering the 5 'Light' weapons. This is not released in the U.S. yet. So I don't know much about it.
