![]() ![]() In July 2020, J-Novel Club announced their intentions to localize all the novels from the beginning, including the ones Tokyopop didn't touch. Tokyopop's English translations of the first eight novels are out of print, but still relatively easy to find used. This show has all five seasons up legally on Hulu and Funimation, and after the merger, Crunchyroll, (though they can't stream these outside the US), in both English audio and subtitles. There is one Cross Dressing episode per season, and they will sometimes take breaks in the middle of serious story arcs or fights for semi-plot-related silliness. The series alternates between serious fights and quests to save the world, and silly slapstick humor. She'll deny it if asked, and insists she's only after Gourry's sword. She eventually comes to like them, and is beginning to fall for Gourry by the end of NEXT. In the TV series, this is the dumb-as-a-jellyfish swordsman Gourry Gabriev, the justice-obsessed princess Amelia, the taciturn chimera Zelgadis, the self-proclaimed "mysterious priest" Xellos, and occasionally the shrine maiden Sylphiel. In the OVAs, set before the TV show, this is the deranged sorceress Naga, who believes Lina is following her around as her rival. Much to Lina's chagrin, she ends up with a group of people following her around, usually because they're all trying not to get killed by something. She has earned the titles "Bandit Slayer" (it's not stealing if they've already stolen it!), " Dragon Spooker", and "Enemy Of All That Live" in a few short years. She's also got an amazing temper, having destroyed both the dragon and the town she was protecting with one spell because the dragon embarrassed her by not stepping on her. She will attempt to wring money out of most situations, such as once extorting gold from a town that was actively being ravaged by a dragon. Unfortunately (from her point of view), she tends to end up in situations where she's got to save the world instead of just make a fast buck. She wanders the world looking for treasure to steal and magic to learn. Lina Inverse is a young and very powerful sorceress. Became extremely popular in the West, in part because of its quirk of having a female as the lead in a Shonen series. Has five TV seasons ( Slayers, Slayers NEXT, Slayers TRY, Slayers Revolution and Slayers Evolution-R), six OVAs, five movies, six video games and a whole lot of manga made. The light novels were adapted into an anime series that ran throughout the 1990s and 2000s. However, when filling out her background, the writer found her little sister Lina far more interesting. Originally it was supposed to follow the adventures of the Cephied Knight, a champion for good named Luna Inverse. Slayers ( originally marketed as The Slayers in the U.S.) started as a series of serialized Light Novels written by Hajime Kanzaka and illustrated by Rui Araizumi, which was first published in 1989 in the Japanese Dragon Magazine (no relation to the American one of the same name).
