Title: The Slayers

Creator:  Hajime Kanzaka/Shoko Yoshinaka

Overview:  The ongoing adventures of the incredibly powerful 15 year old sorceress Lina Inverse.  Lina travels the globe fighting evil bandits and returning their treasure to it's rightful owner.  Well...she keeps it, but at least she beats the bad guys.  In between the bandit killing she acts a mercenary and ends up with some very unusual allies in some very unusual situations, but she is always on the lookout for her first love.  Which happens to be food before you get the wrong idea...     

Comments:
Ric: 'frequently funny swords and sorcery series featuring a great cast and some truly pyrotechnic spells.'

Tom: 'It may be frightfully clichéd, but look past that and you’ll be welcomed with one of the most fast-paced, action adventure anime around. Fun fun fun!'
