This will be the final review of this month.

Lina Inverse is quite the well known sorceress whether it be for taking out bandits, claiming treasure or causing destruction where ever she walks, she one day crosses paths with a swordsman named Gourry who possesses the sword of light, something Lina seeks to take but the two end up as travel companions, later joined by the justice loving princess Amelia and the shrine maiden Sylphiel.
When Lina's group cross paths with Zelgadis, a plot unravels involving the blind priest Rezo as he attempts to revive the demon ruby eye Shabranigdu, with Zelgadis switching to Lina's side and the fate of the world on the line, Lina and her party must put a stop to Rezo the Red Priest's demonic plan.
For a first season, Slayers is incredibly rusty with it's story telling but it's a strong fantasy franchise with a deep lore and a protagonist strong enough to fit the setting, I still get goosebumps everytime Lina unleashes the Dragon Slave, one of the strongest regular attacks in anime history, and while she is supposed to be on the side of good, I like that she's more chaotic than most, I'm also glad she has more characters to play off of, something Slayers lacked in the prequel OVAs.
I'd say it's the weakest of the original trilogy as it's only a taster of the world on offer and the mid 90s humour is kinda cringy in places, not helped by the dub as you cannot unhear the Pokemon dub casting for the main cast.
Final Verdict: A slow start to an otherwise great fantasy franchise with the promise of more to come from the original trilogy.
