Sorceress extraordinaire Lina Inverse gets dragged off by her over-endowed
associate Nahga to a hot springs resort in Mipross. Shrouded in mists, Mipross
has always presented a mystery to visitors and inhabitants alike.
As Lina and Nahga get ready to enjoy themselves, weird things happen and
equally weird people show up. Who's the man frequenting Lina's dreams and how
is he connected to the mystery of Mipross? Seems like a job for the Slayers...
but only if there's a reward involved!
Review: Slayers The Motion Picture
This is the first dose of Slayers I've ever gotten, so I had absolutely no
background on the series when I viewed this.
The good part is, I was able to get into it easily. This movie can definitely
stand on its own. The plot is okay, it has enough happening to pique some
level of interest. More importantly, it doesn't spread itself too thin. It's a
little more than an hour long, which is rather short for a movie. But as
you'll see, the length keeps things nice and tight.
The characters are very amusing and well-designed. Lina Inverse just rocks!
She is an adept sorceress, but suffers from insecurities regarding her breast
size. Meanwhile, Nahga is physically endowed, but is quite lacking in the
sorcery department. These two complement each other, and their tandem isn't
half bad.
The art and animation border on the cutesy side, and don't really strike one
as anything impressive or special. The English dubbing is okay in some parts,
the main problem being Lina's voice actress. She sounds whiney and downright
irritating at times.
Slayers: The Motion Picture DVD version has bonuses like character bios,
slides, and trailers to enrich your overall Slayers experience. Although a
somewhat entertaining trip, this movie pales in comparison to the TV series.
Miscellanies: Slayers The Motion Picture
Slayers anime has pretty wide coverage. It's available as a TV series, OAV series,
