Slayers NEXT Filmbooks

With this series of filmbooks, the publishers seem to be getting into the swing of things. Each of the books gives a quick synopsis of the episodes, with a brief intermission every couple episodes or so to explain some little nuance of the series. In the back of each issue is a section for "Establishment Data," chock full of production sketches and character designs.
