Slayers Return (Japanese: スレイヤーズ RETURN, Hepburn: Sureiyāzu Ritān), also known as Slayers Movie 2 - The Return, is a 1996 Japanese comic fantasy anime film written by Hajime Kanzaka and directed by Kunihiko Yuyama and Hiroshi Watanabe. It is the second film released in the Slayers saga and a sequel to 1995's Slayers Perfect that was itself followed by Slayers Great in 1997.
In Slayers Return, the mercenary heroines Lina Inverse and Naga the Serpent are hired to rescue a village girl from an evil wizard who is searching there for a legendary treasure that might be an invincible magical weapon instrumental for his plan of world domination. The film was met with a positive reception and was also adapted into a manga version by Kanzaka and Shoko Yoshinaka.
