In the Slayers world, there are
two different timelines, The TV series deals with Lina's
adventures with Gourry, while the Movie and OVA's deal with Lina
and Naga (pictured above). This pair of OVA episodes, released by
AD Vision, is presented in a more comedic fashion than the TV
series. Lina and Naga are traveling partners but also rivals, and
they try to make the other unhappy as often as possible.
Throughout these adventures they meet a young (weak) man who
want's to become a royal guard, while his mom wathces from the
shadows to attack any one mean enough to verbally attack her son.
They also come across an evil alchemist who wants to make a
Chimera out of people.
The animation in this is overall
better than the show, but doesn't use the same variety as it's
counterpart. The plot is a lot less serious, and the the new
(English) voice for Lina, makes her sound 10 years younger. When
I questioned people, they preferred this voice, Cynthia Martinez,
much better than CPM's choice, Lisa Ortiz. The character
development, seems adequate and shows why Lina acts like she does
in the television series. Get this tape if you're only really
serious about Slayers. It's not a good starting place for the
Slayers world. It contains violence and "big/flat"
chested jokes.
