Slayers was originally supposed to be about Luna Inverse
However, Hajime Kanzaka was having problems writing something for Luna. So, he decided to create a younger sister for Luna Inverse and thus we got Lina.
Other things refrenced in Slayers:
The Goetia(the symbols of Ruby Eye's servitors are actually symbols of five demons from the Lesser Key of Solomon. Hellmaster is Astorath, Gaav is Bune)
Neon Genesis Evangelion(seems to be anime only)
Dragon 1/2(the slime halves that follow Naga the White Serpent around)
Sailor Moon-there is a lot buried in Slayers in anime, artwork, and novels
Rayearth-Amelia was dressed like Hikaru when they had that acting tour trying to get to Sairagg to face Kopii Rezo
Colonel Sanders of KFC fame. There have been a couple people dressed up like the Colonel. That should give Doug some headaches. How does a 20th century icon of fried chicken appear in a fantasy world that doesn't even have bicycles?
