I just got done watching the slayers OVA and movies and I did enjoy them but wow they were much different from the series. That may have a little to do with the original being distributed by funimation and the OVA + Movies being distributed by ADV. Lina Inverse which is the main character’s personality is the same in both how ever she does seem much younger and does have a different outfit. Although there is one movie called Premium that does have Lina the outfit she had on in the series it even had the other character’s from the series. That was the only one like that and that one seems as though it took place between the second and third seasons of the original series.
A few more differences between the OVA + Movies and the Original series is Lina’s companion if you can call her that. Her companion is very under dressed sorceress named Naga. Naga has a very annoying laugh, which is mentioend as being annoying in a few of the OVA’s and Movies. Her laugh reminds me of the voice of Fran Dresche’s voice from the show called the Nanny although I c oulc not watch The Nanny because unlike Naga’s voice Fran’s Voice made my ears hurt. Another view on her voice is like trying to listen to nails on a chalk board.
I will admit the OVA + Movies were much more comedy based then the original series making it a whole lot more funny. There was one of the movies that was so funny I about fell out of my chair laughing. It was the movie called Slayers Great. It was both cute and funny and I enjoyed that one the most out of all of them.
Unlike the original series you can watch this out of order. What happens in one does not effect what happens in the other. I did how ever watch them in order. Do to the name of the last OVA show I thought it was about Lina getting the outfit she wears in the Original series proving that it takes place before the Series how ever I think I was wrong but would have been neat if it was.
I did find out after seeing both the first 3 of the original series, OVA and movies that there is still one more out there called the lost universe. How ever I am not yet able to find that one for sale but just happened to find it while looking for the picture for this review. I am hopping to find that last series and watch it and also make a review of it.
I do think over all that the Original was better even though this was more funny. I give both 4 out of 5 stars.
