| Slayers - Book of Spells |
Lina Inverse, the red-haired heroine of this slapstick jiggle series, roams a strange Never-Never Land performing deeds of derring-do. Her partner, Naga, looks like an anime version of a Frank Frazetta heroine, her voluptuous figure barely contained in a minuscule costume. The only things they share are a need for money and a love of food. In "The Scary Chimera Plan," Lina matches half-wits with Diol, a sorcerer who wants to incorporate her into the three-headed monster he's making. He's not much of an opponent until he produces 10 doppelg'e4ngers of Naga, complete with her grating laugh. Naga and Lina are hired to help a nerdish boy win his spurs in "Jeffrey's Knighthood." Their tutoring turns out to be completely unnecessary as Jeffrey's mother, Ms. Josephine, is a one-woman war machine capable of flattening any foe. In "Mirror, Mirror," the enchanted looking glass of a fabled sorcerer backfires on a would-be thief: it produces versions of Lina and Naga that are mirror images of them psychologically--cute, cowering, and helpful. These misadventures are very silly, but some parents may object to the scenes of Naga's breasts bouncing within a micro-bra and the jokes about Lina's noticeably smaller bust. Episodes: 1. "The Scary Chimera Plan," 2. "Jeffrey's Knighthood," 3. "Mirror, Mirror." Suggested for ages 12 and up for violence, profanity, and sexual humor.
