# Where to Watch Slayers

**Slayers streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu — the fireball-flinging 1995 classic that defined comedy fantasy. If every dungeon-crawling comedy you love owes a debt somewhere, this is usually where the IOU leads: Lina Inverse, sorceress, menace, legend.**

- [Hulu](http://www.hulu.com/slayers)

Crunchyroll and Hulu both carry the series, so either works. This first season is the start of a much longer saga — the sequel seasons continue Lina's adventures directly.

## Synopsis

Lina Inverse is a teenage sorcery prodigy with a simple business model: find bandits, blow them up, take their treasure. It's practically charity. Her life of profitable mayhem gets complicated when she picks up Gourry — a swordsman with divine reflexes and a brain like an empty tavern — as an unwanted bodyguard, and their road trip immediately attracts cursed artifacts, dark lords, and every variety of magical trouble. Under the gags, the show can swing surprisingly hard: when the demon lords come out, Slayers reminds you why Lina's name scares people.
