Slayers Return

While I'm never going to be a fan of Naga, she wasn't the problem with this movie. Since The Slayers is a popular franchise, it is no wonder that the Japanese companies were eager to milk it for more yen. As a result we are given a story that is rather uninspired and humor that constantly misses the mark.

The story is done like a really bad Godzilla movie. In fact, the writers partially use the Godzilla model while trying to inject elements that helped make The Slayers so popular. The combination sadly fails. Plus, there are WAY to many extra characters in this movie. None of them get names and a few get lines, but they are all a waste of time and space.

Bottom line: it is always fun to hear Hayashibara Megumi at work, but sadly she's not enough to elevate this title beyond tepidity.
