I was planning on reviewing the Valkyria Chronicles anime this week, but things have been rather hectic and I wasn't able to finish it. I'll just have to take care of that one next week. In the meantime, let's talk about the Slayers. The Slayers is pretty well known to anime fans. It has over fifty light novels, five anime series, five films, two OVAs, video game adaptations and several manga. It's by far Kanzaka Hajime's best known and most influential work.

(Ironic as I first found out about the franchise due to a clip from this film.)

The visuals and animation look good, essentially the series with more of a budget. The soundtrack is nothing notable, but does what it needs to for the fantasy setting. However, the story's pacing is just terrible. It's honestly hard ...
