Mmm, lessee now...
Gourry, Zelgadis etc. saga: Slayers Slayers Next Slayers Try Slayers Premium (OVA, not sure if it's at this spot in the timeline but it belongs to the saga anyway) Lina and Naga saga: Slayers: The Motion Picture (aka Slayers Perfect) Slayers Return Slayers Great Slayers Gorgeous Not sure where exactly these two OVAs belong but they're a part of the Naga saga: Slayers Special (the book of spells) Slayers Excellent |

Just watch the series first in this order:
Slayers (26 episodes) Slayers Next (26 episodes) Slayers Try (26 episodes) After that it doesn't really matter how you watch the movies/ovas since they're all indepedant side-stories. (I think some of them happen before the series, and some after. Kind of hard to tell, and I don't think it matters very much either because they can all be watched indepently.) |

The movies and OVAs can be pretty much seen in any order, So you can watch the movies first (1-Slayers Perfect, 2-Slayers Return, 3-Slayers Great, 4-Slayers Gorgeous) or watch the OVAs first (1-Slayers Special, 2-Slayers Excellent) and it'll all be good. The numbers indicate which movie/OVA came first (I'd suggest watching the OVAs first, and then watch the movies, since how Lina first met Naga is covered in Slayers Excellent).
After those movies, Slayers takes place, then Slayers Next. Betweeen Slayers Next and Slayers Try should be Slayers Premium (since one of the characters, Gourry, still seems to have a valuable possession in Slayers Premium, and something happens to that valuable possession at the end of Slayers Try). |

Slayers Movies
The later Slayers movies are starting to come out on DVD, the ones featuring Lina inverse's friendship/hatred/rivalry with Naga the White Serpent (aka "Naga the Fish-Bleep") and I'm find the ones I have so far quite enoyable.
Right now the only one in my permanent collection is Slayers Great, which is the one I most enjoyed in fansub. Sure enough, it was even mor eenjoyable in a professional subtiutling job. I haven't watched the dub yet -- I disinctly prefer Lisa Ortiz as Lina over the actress ADV Films chose and ahve held firm to thta preference. I undersatand ADV plans to release all the films, including the short Slayers Premium (an utterly hilarioous misadventure with cursed octopi, confused speech and a big, nasty demon that I have nboi idea how is going to come across in a dub -- and am not sure i entirely wish to find out without Lisa, Eric, Crispin and Veronica in the cast). I still have a distinct preference, as far as storyline, for the TV series, and am a firm believer that eventually Lina and Gourry will break out of their denial and get married and that Zelgadis will eventually realize he needs Amelia more than he needs a cure.

I almost think of the Slayers series and films as entirely different entities. The tone and characterizations and er, animation quality is so different. It may also be because I listened to the dub and Cythia Martinez indeed sounds quite a bit different from Lisa Ortiz. I thought she did a pretty good job, though, and I’ll listen to the dubs of the “new” films as I get a hold of them. :P I am also a bit worried about Slayer Premium, though, given how many other characters are involved....at least Naga is always voiced by the same actress. |

I enjoy Lisa Oritz's voice acting as well. Cythia is close to the original Lina, sure, but I prefer Lisa's sassier voice to Cyth's shrill shrieks.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they are going to get any of the original voice actors from the Software Sculptor's dub at all. Well, according to this newgroup, anyway. Gourry has already been recasted. I heard they tried to get Lisa for one of the movies already, but they didn't pay her as much as she wanted. |

I think it's like this:
Tier 0, for both Gods and Demons, Lord of Nightmares, The Dark Golden Lord, Creator of the Four Worlds, Mother of All Creation. Tier 1, God Kings and Demon Kings, each pair governs one of the four worlds created by LoN. Gods : Ceiphied the Flare Dragon King (Slayer World). Volfeed. ???. ??? Demons : Shabranigdo the Ruby Eye (Slayer World). Dark Star. Chaotic Blue. Death Fog. Tier 2, pieces of the God Kings and Demon Kings. Gods : Dragon King of the Four Elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Sky), which are in fact pieces of Ceiphied Demons : The seven pieces of Shabranigdo. Tier 3, Gods : Missing. (really really powerful dragons?) Demons : The five Demon Lords, subordinates of Shabranigdo (Hellmaster, Great Beast, etc.) Tier 4, Gods : Missing. (powerful dragons?) Demons : Priests and Generals of the five Demon Lords. Xellos. Tier 5, Gods : Dragons. Demons : Demons. Ancient Dragons is quite a peculiar case. Since they are dragons, they should be Gods. however they possess the power of both light and darkness, like humans (and LoN, of course), so I guess they are neither Gods nor Demons. |
