About The Slayers Next

Here is what The Slayers Next (スレイヤーズ NEXT) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, comedy and fantasy anime by E&G Films (1996). At its core: Let the forces of evil tremble in fear (along with wealthy merchants and innocent bystanders)... THE SLAYERS ARE BACK!

Next up: Join the not-so-heroic adventures of Lina Inverse--the super-cute sorceress who steals from the rich and keeps it for herself! Along with her sword-swinging (but dumber than dirt) sidekick, Gourry, her hyper-enthusiastic protégé, Amelia, and the tormented and overly-serious golem, Zelgadis, there's nothing Lina can't do!

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Lina Inverse (Megumi Hayashibara) and Xellos (Akira Ishida) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
