Slayers Next - The Complete Second Season description The second season of the knockabout fantasy Slayers continues the wacky misadventures of red-haired arch-sorceress Lina Inverse. As she wanders in search of the ancient book of spells the Claire Bible, she's accompanied by her usual friends: dumb blond swordsman Gourry; Zelgadis, the once-human chimera; and Amelia, the single-minded champion of justice. The zany quartet is joined by Martina, who fancies herself something of a rival to Lina, and by the mysterious and powerful priest Xellos. The plot rambles and stumbles along, with Lina and her friends following false clues, falling into slapstick disasters, and eating everything in sight. A more serious storyline gradually emerges that involves enmities left over from the War of the Monsters' Fall, one thousand years earlier. It climaxes in a take-no-prisoners battle that requires Lina to summon the spirit of primordial chaos. The filmmakers make the battle a bit too big. Lina Inverse isn't a complete idiot, like Excel in Excel Saga: she possesses formidable powers. But she's essentially a comic character who blows up things by mistake, overeats, and squabbles with her friends: Amelia calls her "chaos and destruction's poster girl." She's not the person most audiences would want guarding the world from annihilation. But the overblown finale probably won't bother the many fans of Slayers, who kept the characters going for three broadcast seasons, six OVAs, and five features. (Rated TV PG: violence, brief nudity, risqué humor) --Charles Solomon |

| I don't know if I'm the only one having bad luck here. I bought this as a gift to update their Slayers collection to DVDs. The brand new DVDs were already scratched upon opening causing the DVDs to pause frequently. I returned the item to Amazon.com for a replacement which was quick and easy. The replacement came about a week after I submitted the return request. Once again the new DVDs are scratched though not as badly. This has never happened to me before at any store. | |
