Lina Inverse — the unscrupulous sorceress who steals from the rich and gives to herself! Together with her sword-swinging naive but kind-hearted sidekick, Gouri; her hyper-enthusiastic protégée, Amelia; and the overly-serious golem, Zelgadis; there is nothing Lina cannot do!
Lina and company have decided to reverse the spell that turned Zelgadis into a golem. Unfortunately, the counter-spell is contained in a powerful spell book that Lina, Amelia and Zelgadis have to "acquire" from the less than charitable owners. But first, the gang's got to beat a really nasty monster, defeat a gang of flexing, bodybuilding bandits, face Lina's greatest fear and find a dragon to make dinner with.

Although it's very enjoying watch, full of action, they still didn't change anything about main characters. Everything focuses on Lina, rest are just like lame background that mainly disturbs Lina... I really would love to see wiser and stronger Gaurry :> Awesome 'power of love' ending :) And what's important gorgeous comedy! notice that! I'm really in comedy animes but Slayers still amaze me! all the time unique jokes and actions that always made me laugh. Other repeating animes should take example from this!

This show continues in greatly done merging of swift and destructive action, fantasy world, adventurous character and humor with likable and well made characters. It's far better than its prequel in all of its aspects - better and deeper plot with more twists (and even a glimpse of some hidden secret behind the scene), more drama, a little bit of romance and its deeper development, sometimes breathtaking progress and action, a great climax and again numerous humorous scenes (that are so characteristic to Slayers). I presume to say that this show is the best one of a whole Slayers saga.

Perfect blend of unhinged comedy and adventure storyline; the art is also pretty good.
One of the series one should definitely see.

This one is even better than the first season in every aspect (which was great, too). If you liked the first one, you're gonna love this. Simply great.

Funny as hell, and it also has a masterful plot! The best of the TV saga. A must if you love medieval fantasy, comedy or adventure in general.

While this is one of the best comedies ever made, it still has an awesome plot and a nice drama. Must see.

Much better than the first season. It still has a lot of humor, but this season had more plot to it.

14-16, female, bloodtype: O, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., black hairThe character has black hair., chokerA choker is a necklace, narrow strip of cloth, ribbon, or other object that fits very closely around the neck. It is not to be confused with a collar, which, for humans and other human-like entities, is generally a collar-like accessory serving a restraint, identification, and/or display of submissiveness usage. Please see the description of the collar tag for more information on the distinction. Please also see this tag`s full description for other information on how to use it., idealistThis is a character who represents things as they might be or should be rather than as they are., large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts.
Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., strictThis character is rigorously conforming to principle, norm or condition.

Most famously known from the Star Wars films., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., overeaterA character (who quite often is anything but fat) eats enough for an entire football team, usually devastating the whole table — and perhaps entire restaurants — with their insatiable hunger. Often combined with a speed-eating technique that makes food seem to vanish spontaneously from the plate., swordsmanno description set, yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.

15-18, female, bloodtype: A, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., cuteness fangA cuteness fang is a single prominent canine tooth that suggests a cat-like and energetic nature or a state of excitement. Cuteness fangs generally belong to the upper jaw and are more common on females. They tend to not exist in-universe and go unnoticed by characters. A cuteness fang should not be confused with fangs, which are multiple prominent canine teeth, as found in vampires or various animals, or a misaligned tooth, which is a facial misfeature with no relation to personality traits., daggerA bladed fighting weapon with a sharp point designed or capable of being used as a thrusting or stabbing weapon. Many ancient cultures used adorned daggers in ritual and ceremonial purposes.

Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., pettankoPettanko refers to a female character that places a great deal of importance on the fact that she is flat chested. It does not refer to characters that merely happen to be flat chested, but do not make any importance of this fact. The character may be extremely proud of the fact that she is flat chested, or extremely embarrassed of the fact., short-temperedThis character has a short temper, meaning he or she can get angry quickly.

In contrast to a cape, a cloak provides more frontal cover whereas a cape leaves the front fairly open. A cape or cloak with sleeves is a robe., introvertIntroverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.
Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.
Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., Vegeta complex“Let me just say that I’m not your friend. I don`t like you. We just happen to be fighting the same fight.” Named after Vegeta from DBZ., young adultSomeone is generally considered a young adult if they are between 20 to 40 years old.

A waist-length piece of outerwear is called a jacket., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., middle agedSomeone is generally considered middle aged if they are between 40 to 65 years old., red hairThe character has red hair., swordA sword is a long, edged piece of metal, used as a cutting, thrusting, and clubbing weapon in many civilizations throughout the world.

male, , black hairThe character has black hair., childA child is any person 3 to 12 years old. In everyday usage, babies (younger than 3 years old) are also children, but they are tagged separately; they should not be tagged child as well. Once a person becomes 13, they are an adolescent instead., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., immortalityImmortality is the ability to live for an infinite or inconceivably vast length of time. Humans, whose life span is limited, have long sought ways to extend their lives. In fiction, immortals are not quite as uncommon as in real life, and the possible implications of endless or very long lives are often explored. While many may wish for immortality, it may be little more than a curse for the few who have it., magicMagic is the art of purportedly manipulating aspects of reality either by supernatural means or through knowledge of unknown occult laws., short hairShort hair is hair from (but not including) bald, up to (but not including) shoulder-length hair.

This contradicts scientific law as we know it, and is therefore nowadays impossible. Sometimes it appears as a paranormal or supernatural ability, and sometimes it is shown in science fiction through technological devices backed up by scientific laws yet to be discovered.

female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., blue hairThe character has blue hair., drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head. Specifically, look for two long, curled locks of hair, framing the face. If she has them, she either is high class or acts like it.
Needless to say, this is pretty much mandatory for the Ojou. Some Elegant Gothic Lolitas also sport this hairstyle., energeticAn energetic character, often also called a genki character, shows great, often excessive levels of activity or vitality, and seems to always be doing everything extra fast. Genki characters are often slightly, or sometimes very, eccentric, and are filled with confidence and determination, regardless of whether they are competent or not; in fact, they often have little to no actual competence at whatever they generally do., extrovert1. an outgoing, gregarious person.
2. Psychology: a person characterized by extroversion; a person concerned primarily with the physical and social environment (opposed to introvert )., ojouThe ojou ("princess", called "ojou-sama" in the anime) may be many things (perhaps even a real princess), but she is undoubtedly rich, either in her own right or by being part of an absurdly powerful family. The ojou is noticeable by her shrill and obnoxious laugh often (if not always) while putting the backside of her hand in front of her mouth., selfishSelfishness is the condition of holding one`s own self-interest as the chief or sole influence and standard in decision-making and lacking concern for the well-being of others. Those characterized by selfishness are said to be selfish., simple-mindedThis character exhibits a `special` sort of intelligence. Be it the inability to comprehend even the most simple of situations, or the lack of common sense found in even a preschooler, the character never ceases to amaze both the show`s cast and audience with their idiocy.
