LoL at Lina thinking Rezo was suspicious because he "has a name like a villain." I like how fun this series is so far, and Lina is way more intelligent than many other anime protagonists I have seen.

I enjoy this series although so far it has been a bit basic.

I definitely see myself watching the rest.

Lina is amazing. Gourry is a lovable idiot. And various other compliments. I think this show might be a new favorite.

Obviously, she's a mage. And mages have high Intelligence. And the swordman with her has almost none. Makes perfectly sense in a RPG world :D

I wonder what's really going on. I somehow doubt the situation is quite as simple as that which Rezo gave.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I don't like Rezo, I think he's not telling the whole truth.

Rezo might be a priest but it's obvious he's a sleaze ball in disguise.

Also, we finally get to see Zelgadis! I love the look on his face when Lina charged 12 million for the cursed knife ^^

Dude, Rezzo's eyes were closed the whole time. He's totally evil.

And good on Lina for knowing this.


I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai.

His eyes were closed because he's blind.
But there is something fishy about him being so eager to take that item (I think it's the statuette).

Needless to say, amazing episode. The moment Rezo first spoke I instantly thought he and Lina would make out any time soon, but the last scene proved Gourry more caring than he had first appeared.

I'd wager both the statue and the knife are connected in some way that we'll get to know about in like ten episodes from here.

Mystery on Rezo's motives is completely lost due to the opening ^^;

What I find surprising is that the serious character beats work in between all the comedic charm. I hope it keeps up like this throughout.

Rezo seems indeed suspicious, but imo it can go either way with him.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Eh I don't care if he's a famous priest helping others or that he's blind since birth, I'm automatically suspicious of anime characters with eyes closed anyway! XP
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Rezo certainly doesn't look like a priest. Though Lina doesn't look like a mage either, their outfits are kinda weird in this show haha.

lol she saw thru rezo's name and his sus.

its kinda cool episode, lots of good characters and fun. Something i didnt expect. there's a lot more to this than most anime today

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Very interesting show. It's a bit dated and I can't get over all the random RPG terms thrown around, but the characters are charming and actually pretty interesting. I can totally see how this had a rabid fanbase back in the day.

@Ston3_FreeN7 from the start, before he said his name, I felt like it was he who was the villain. Not the other guy who wants to buy it.

I thought Rezo was a bad guy too, so I get it! This episode was a bit exposition heavy. The demon lord has a crazy name!

I'm in love with Slayers so far! The simple japanese RPG-like story is nostalgic and even feels fresh since there's nothing like it nowadays. Lina and Gourry are amazingly charming and have a nice, simple dynamic that's a joy to watch. Lina particularly is a uniquely capable female lead who manages to come off as both cute and cool.
