Slayers Light Novels

Postby Atlan » Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:59 pm

With all the recent excitement about the new season of Slayers, I went out and bought the 2 slayers OVAs and the 5 movies. Adding that to my collection of Season 1, an idea for a fic began to form.

But then I looked on Wikipedia, and found out there are about 50 light novels of Slayers, mostly set before the series, during the OVA's and movies.

Does anyone know anything about them? Are any in english? Places I could buy/download some? Do they star Naga? Or Lina's sister? Any information, or links to good websites would be appreicated.
The Banana, the Atheist's Nightmare:

God made it with a non-slip surface, a color coded system so we know when to eat it, and an easy open tab at the top of the banana. It's just the right shape for a mouth and is easy to digest!!

Tokyopop licensed and translated some of them, they should be on amazon.

Huh. I thought the Slayers novels were about Naga and Lina, before the anime. Guess not.

The special novels, not the regular ones. I must admit I haven't read them because I'm not all that interested in Naga, though.

Is it 50 novels, or 15? I'm pretty sure I've read it as 15 before.
Unless I say otherwise, if I'm discussing Ranma canon, I'm talking about the MANGA.

15 regular novels. And at least as many special novels, I think quite a bit more than that. 50 total sounds about right.
