Slayers Try

Anime television series

Central Park Media licensed and distributed the anime in North America under the Software Sculptors label on VHS and Laserdisc between 1996 and 1998, collected in eight volumes. It was a commercial success for Central Park, which led them to license Slayers Next and Slayers Try; Next was first shipped from April 1999 in a similar format; a box set of the first four volumes was released in July of that same year, and a box set of the second four volumes in October. Slayers Try was released later in 2000. The first three seasons were subsequently re-released on DVD (in season box sets). Months before Central Park's license for the anime properties expired, Funimation Entertainment was able to obtain the license and it aired as part of the new owner's programming block on CoLours TV, as well as the Funimation Channel. The first bilingual DVD box set after Funimation's rescue of the license was released on August 21, 2007, retaining the Software Sculptors-produced English dub. A boxset of Slayers, Next and Try was released by Funimation on August 4, 2009.
