About The Slayers

The Slayers (スレイヤーズ) blends adventure, comedy and fantasy by E&G Films (1995). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Welcome to a realm where magic reigns and monsters lurk behind every corner. Into his land of deadly dragons and menacing magicians comes our heroine -- Lina Inverse, a cute, fireball-throwing sorceress who steals from the wicked and gives to herself!

Next up: Along with Gourry, a handsome but dumb-as-a-rock swordsman, Lina challenges the forces of not-so-goodness as she seeks truth, justice, fame and gold! Well, mostly fame and gold... Grab your pack and join the wackiest bunch of misfits ever to embark on a quest!

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Megumi Hayashibara as Lina Inverse and Hikaru Midorikawa as Zelgadis Graywords. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
