Holy Smokes! I've got one thing to say to start this review off: Where've I been these past 16 years!! This movie is on the same ENJOYMENT RATE as Slayers NEXT. Except for different reasons, of course. This movie had elements of Ranma, Dragon Half, and Magic Knight Rayearth in it! This was probably the biggest lure since whip creamed waffles! Seriously though, we had three Hot Spring girls in there with names that went with other classics! One of them went by the name Shampoo even! Lina's scene-time back in her hometown of Zil... .. something other? XD was that of Ranma Girl-Type! Andas we already know, the Japanese voice for Ran-Chan in Ranma 1/2 is the same as Lina's Japanese voice. So it makes sense! :D

It was this movie that made me finally Dial In to the idea that Lina's flying spell (Raywing) is a combined name of both Hikaru's Rayeath Rune God and Fuu's Windam Rune God! :D Those are also my two favorite characters in Magic Knight Rayearth! ... Except Wing and Wind are not necessarily the same name... but... they are both Ariel names, right? XD

I have no idea who the blue-haired Gourry is, but am assuming he's a descendant of his? It was easy to call that he possessed the Sword of Light when he was holding it as just a hilt! :)

Basically with this Movie, I continued to make calls in it left, right and center. Another reason why it was a Masterpiece to me. I am not in sync like this with just any anime haha! Another time was when the Sage dude was telling Lina about the Fountain of Growth. ... Keyword, "Growth!" XD

Oh, and speaking of the Fountain of Growth that shape shifts the person who plunges into it, anyone know what this sounds like? XD

Lina's spells looked great in this series. She had a lot more ways of casting the Fire Ball, spells like the Dragon Slayer (Slave) had a different spell casting chant, which was also really catchy! Lina's apparel looked great, too! More like the manga!

Naga (Pronounced Nahga) was like the Kodachi Kuno of the series haha. She was great! I knew Slayers had been missing the spark of a good rival character in the three seasons of the original series. she seems to have an interesting type of magic, too!

I think there were two or three moments in total that made me go into critiquing mode though lol. One was when the Sage dude was talking to Lina in the house... the scene kind of repeated itself there, and it wasn't because it was the half way point or anything lol. Kinda made me think that I accidentally clicked on the computer screen and made the episode skip back or something lol. Another time was when the Sword of Light from blue-haired Gourry fell right in front of him. The animation there kind of felt off to me a bit haha. There were also moments where the Reptilian Boss grabbed the Sword of Light BY ITS LIGHT-BLADE with his hand! That's like reaching out and grabbing a Light-saber by its blade! IMPOSSIBLE!

But ya! :3 It got an Overall 10! Because it was Super-Great! :D
