If you loved Brave Story, try Slayers Premium
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Slayers Premium has roughly 5.0× fewer votes than Brave Story — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Brave Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Slayers Premium is
Somehow, the Slayers' vacation devolves into an octopus language outbreak. After a side trip to a coastal town, Gourry's raw seafood snack leaves him fluent only in cephalopod. The gang soon tangles with a local clan that speaks exclusively in clicks and suctions.
