I agree, I think it may be the best of all Slayers Movies.

I thought it was decent, but just didn't pack the punch compared to the actual series.

It was fine, I guess. A little rushed on the last part though.

Indeed a few pacing problems, but I really like the mood in this one, it's like another side of Lina. And the animation was top quality.

Definitely rushed, but you can't beat 90's animation. So much effort put into it. Everything in the decades afterwards feels too clean and plastic, whereas 90's worlds look lived in.

I liked the movie but it had a little to much filler in the beginning and the ending lacked a little. It was slightly anti-climatic in that fact. I still liked seeing Gourry's um... was he Dad or Grandfather... in this. I know the guy was at least related in some way. Anyway, I didn't really like Naga much.
The English dub was good for the time though did anyone else see the parody from Looney Toons that they had in it?

I guess it was pretty funny, and it looked great, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as I enjoy the series.

Maybe I just really missed Zelgadis and Amelia. I think they're the funniest.

Quite good and funny movie. Also a good prequel to the main story. Really liked drawing of main characters, it's a little bit better than in series (like in most of anime movies). And enjoyable of course ^_^

Aww we saw Lina when she was young :D. And that laugh was annoying.
Anyways great movie 9/10. (I might give 9/10 for the whole series when I finish it)

Not nearly as good as the show, but not bad either.

Naga annoys me, but Lina is cool as always.

I'm fond of 90s animation, but this film didn't have many shining moments. Any scene with magic was well-done, though.

This is actually my first induction to the Slayers franchise and i must say, this movie was lots of fun. I enjoyed the style
of animation and its 90s fun. I found Naga
and Lina both very likeable characters, and Nagas laugh is life :D . 8/10 overall.
Definitely plain on checking out the rest of the series.

Really dissapointing to be honest, compared to how decent the TV series is. I was hoping Naga to be a more fun character too. And nope, the great animation and cool OST wont save it.

I don't know why but that "yohohoho" ojousama laughing is always entertaining to me for some reason, so damn over the top xD Really good movie, I actually enjoyed it more than the first season itself. Naga is an entertaining character, which made me miss Gourry and Amelia not a lot after all.
