Recently, I’ve had trouble getting up the energy to post. As you might remember, I made a post forever ago about a model and my disagreeing with her recent media oriented decisions. Well, a commenter has taken to claiming to be her and responding to my blog, and the sheer anger I’ve felt thanks to the caps-lock filled comments made me turn off my computer without posting.

That being said, my anger is managed, and today I’m playing catch up. Brace yourself.

I’ve been rocking the classic anime Slayers recently, and I must say, it is phenomenal, if you’re an anime fan. So, for you young bucks, here’s a few reasons you too should watch Slayers.

5. Style

The entire series is classic 90s goodness, with realistically true-to-real-people characters. Even though the characters SHOULD feel stereotypical, with a swordsman and sorceress fighting an evil wizard, it manages to feel VERY unique and unforgettable.

4. World

With well defined towns, situations, powers, and legends, Slayers’ world really pops. Even the enemies hear about the heroes at a realistic and understandable pace.

3. Powers

Even though the main character’s magical spells and her guard’s magic sword, the lore and unique way they use these powers, not to mention the dire consequences of screwing up, and spectacular.

2. Plot

Now, again, the plot feels dated, but in a CLASSIC way. It’s been out of the loop for so long, it’s fresh and spicy again, making now the perfect time to enjoy a classic thing.

1. Characters

Lina and Goury are wonderful, with tons of defects and strengths, pros and cons, ups and downs. They have magnificent chemistry, misunderstandings, and they split ways more than once for very reasonable causes. Purely wonderful.
