Slayers - Série 1

Original review from 2015: Lina Inverse is definitely one of the best main female protagonists I have ever seen, and she is in one of the funniest fantasy anime series, along with a bunch of really unique supporting characters that complement her nicely. Compared to the movies and OVAs I have seen (because the plot of this anime series precedes them and I wanted to go through the narrative chronologically) I found this first season much more entertaining and the chemistry between the main characters was a bit better in my opinion. Nothing against Naga the Serpent, with "The Twins" and her terrifying laughter, however, Gourry, Zel, and Amelia (I could have done without Sylphiel) were far more diverse and interesting as supporting characters. Despite all that, I would not have minded if Naga had completed this elite group, perhaps instead of the aforementioned Sylphiel... Sure it has a few shortcomings and the humor can be slightly infantile at times and for some even a bit insane, however, that is kind of exactly the kind of entertainment I am into. So far, I am really satisfied with this anime series, and the only thing I am wondering about before I watch the next season is why I have not come across this anime series before? 9/10. (14/12/2019)
