Slayers Great (1997)
All Laia Einburg wants for her golem-making father Galia and her equally ambitious brother Huey is to end a long running feud. But her world gets turned upside down when short-stature Lina Inverse and overly endowed Naga the Serpent save Laia from a rampaging golem. A grateful, but smitten, Galia asks Lina to be a model for his work. Not to be outdone, Huey makes a similar request to Naga. The results are towering remote-controlled golems in the image of our favorite sorceresses! Huey gets all the proportions right, but Galia's taste is just weird. Adding insult to injury, Galia turns Lina into a magical battery pack! Officially, Lords Haizen and Granion commissioned these golems for a contest to determine the ruler of the city of Stoner. But the lords are secretly planning to use the golems as prototypes for an army of conquest! Can Lina and Naga save the city from tyranny?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Slayers Great is the second Slayers film I've came across and is about the funniest anime I've seen so far. The outstanding quality on the Slayers films is of course the two sorceresses' childishness that conflicts with the awesome powers they wield. The comedy is original (with the exception of the quarrels between Lina and Naga that is expected of Slayers), so this film is pretty much for everyone, especially those who have never been interested in anime before. Also check out Slayers Gorgeous, not as good but fun nonetheless.
This one was mediocre as far as Slayers goes. It made the usual Naga jokes, which, while somewhat funny, are repetitive. Very liberal subtitling had a negative effect for some of the more, colorful lines of the show (Lina does not actually say 'Naga you f*cking bitch' in Japanese). There was saving grace in the feature battle, though... but only if you like Piko-piko Lina-chan. ^^
