petekrug17 This review assumes the reader is familiar with SLAYERS.After defeating Hell Master Phebrizzo at the end of SLAYERS NEXT, Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev part ways with the others (like they do at the end of each TV series,) and come to a small coastal town where the favorite delicacy is occtopi. Only after they go into a restaurant and Gourry feasts on some occtopi do they learn of the curse: whoever eats this occtopi falls under a curse, where s/he can only speak in occtopese. Soon Amelia and Zelgadis show up, and they too fall under the curse that the still-alive occtopi have placed under the townsfolk as revenge for dinning on them. Now it's up to Lina and Gourry to travel to the occtopi's underwater lair to put an end to the curse.Though quite short, this is one SLAYERS episode any true fan should see.
