Line 16:
The series alternates between serious fights and quests to save the world and silly slapstick humor. There is one [[Crossdresser|Cross Dressing]] episode per season, and they will sometimes take breaks in the middle of serious story arcs or fights for [[Breather Episode|semi-plot-related silliness]]. It manages to find a nice balance, and is one of the must-see series for [[Medieval European Fantasy]].
This show has the first two seasons up legally on [http://www.hulu.com/slayers?c=Animation-and-Cartoons/Anime hulu], [https://web.archive.org/web/20110114193512/http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=show&b=89 Funimation's video portal], and [http://www.youtube.com/show?p=7B469gIRVcM YouTube] (though Hulu and Funimation's site can't stream these outside the US, their [[YouTube]] channel may be under the same restriction). All five seasons are currently available on DVD. The English translations of the first eight novels are out of print, but still relatively easy to find used. The manga are slightly harder to come by outside of Japan: while seven volumes of the manga following the main TV series arc were translated, they've been largely neglected, although fan translations have covered a lot of ground on the various manga miniseries, including [http://www.turtle-paradise.net/manga/slayers-knight-of-aqua-lord/ Knight Of Aqua Lord] and [http://www.turtle-paradise.net/manga/slayers-the-hourglass-of-falces/ Hourglass of Falces].
Not to be confused with the band [[Slayer]] or [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]].
