slayers book of spells | Year: 2001 Directed: - Makoto Noriza - Osamu Yokota - Masato Sato Slayers at its best This is truly Slayers at its best. This DVD contains all 3 episodes of the the Slayers Special OAV. Full of homour and action, this DVD is a must have for all Slayers fans everywhere. The original and unique slap-stick humour found in everything Slayers is pulled to it's full extent in this truly hilarious piece of anime art. This 3-part OAV takes place before the original slayers series. As opposed to the usual Slayers group, Lina's only companion is Naga- quite possibly the funniest (and at times the most annoying) anime character ever. With Naga's annoying laugh and Lina's un-stopable hunger, This dynamic duo gets into many adventures! Take my advise and buy this DVD, you wont regret it. Naga.....Tone it down a bit I love this series. And I have a strange affinity for Naga....Hmmm.. I wonder what it could be. I love how Lina calls Naga the "Bondage Queen of Darkness". Also that outfit of hers....My god... The only thing I can't stand is that ridiculous laugh of hers. It drives me mad.. But still, it's a very funny anime. You really should see it if you enjoy animes, or comedy...or both Give It A Rest Please * I have picked up most of the SLAYERS anime series, about<BR>petite and hot-tempered sorceress Lina Inverse in some <BR>long-ago-far-away land of magic. I have found most of it<BR>moderately amusing, if not necessarily much to write home<BR>about, and so I decided to pick up the one item that<BR>I hadn't seen: SLAYERS BOOK OF SPELLS (SBOS). This DVD, consisting of three 25-minute episodes, recasts <BR>the SLAYERS concept slightly, eliminating Lina's normal<BR>gang of cronies for a new companion, Naga the Serpent, <BR>a statuesque, overbuilt, scantily-clad female adventuress<BR>along the lines of a Frank Franzetta or Boris Vallejo <BR>character and possessed of a mocking laugh. A survey of this item only leads to the conclusion that <BR>SLAYERS is an idea whose time has passed. I once observed<BR>that the mark of a bad comic book is that even the people<BR>who made it obviously don't think much of it (unless of<BR>course they are operating at an "Ed Wood" level of <BR>self-delusion), and this same principle applies to SBOS. The production values are indifferent at best and the<BR>scripts are painful to watch, not merely because the<BR>scriptwriters seem to have been working in their sleep<BR>but because the humor is all but nonexistent. The <BR>writing is about at the level of an weak Saturday-morning<BR>cartoon, with some "jigglevision" thrown in and not <BR>improving matters in the least. If you want a fun<BR>swords-and-sworcery parody, try Sergio Aragones' GROO<BR>comix instead, which if not absolutely the greatest <BR>thing since icecream are at least usually fun. I am far from against mindless silly entertainment.<BR>However, though SBOS does achieve the "mindless silly"<BR>part of the equation, it doesn't come close to <BR>reaching the "entertainment" element. I suppose <BR>people who have "never seen an anime they didn't like"<BR>would be able to swallow SBOS, but any anime fans who<BR>have mixed feelings about the genre, as I do, are <BR>certain to find SBOS on the bad side of the mix.
