Yeah, they surely have some serious high tech at the bottom of the ocean. Maybe the crazy scientists were correct, after all, and Ika is in fact an alien. It's a pretty good detail, nonetheless, that they addressed the issue of a little girl being able to lift considerably heavy objects.
Ika Musume is a horrible show. The only good thing about it's the opening.
True story.
At first I thought the bracelet would instead have something to do with buoyancy since Ika's from the sea. Becoming lighter would help her lift something while swimming, but it won't have the same potency as becoming heavy and lifting something while anchored to the floor. It's really more a land feature than a sea one. Just thought that was interesting..

2nd Squid Girl TV Anime Goes on 2-Week Hiatus
The official website of the second Squid Girl television anime series announced on Tuesday that the anime will not air new episodes on October 24 and November 7 "due to circumstances at the stations."
Damn. Sanae probably invaded the stations and Ika doesn't dare to go to work.

Episode 3 - FFFFFFFPeeps
Ika wiping out all those kids.. that sound effect is gold.
Ika slap!

You'd think Gorou would have already known better than to try to officially recruit Ika. She only manages to pull off the restaurant work somehow because Chizuru is present to remind of the dire alternatives. Otherwise she's far too alien to be relied on.
The exercise part was a little bit weird and the narrator certainly didn't help with his weird analogies. Either way, I like it.

Knowing Ika's straight-forward manner, I would have thought she'd tell Goro about the broken glass in the water. That bit was the weirdest part for me, but it was needed to make the episode work.Originally Posted by Kraco
Now that I think about it.. aren't squids night-time animals?

Perhaps they are, but do not think too much about it, as Ika exhibits more of a human-like behavior than that of a squid.

Me, toilet, go!
The English speaking portion was too embarrassing to watch. Especially when Eiko gave up and switched to Japanese, yet Cindy still heard it as English despite knowing Japanese perfectly as well. Quite creative, though, to give Cindy a second voice actor to make her English believable. The ending with the tourist was a good finish.
I love how even the little brother was speaking English (even if it was mostly Engrish). Eiko really felt pitiful.
Peace.
Totally didn't expect to see mini-Ika musume there. That alone made my day. I find it very strange that Ika Musume has that much charisma that the kids will want her to play with them even though they can no longer play properly with her around.
Despite that, I'm most impressed by the English arc - particularly at the skill required to integrate both languages into jokes like that. That is, unless Japan has a book of "words that can sound confusing in English" or the like.
Yeah. I don't know if it was intentional that her name sounds like Eigo.

I liked the English arc overall, but it was a little jarring for Cindy to have a totally different VA. The English one didn't really sound like her normal VA (Nabatame Hitomi) at all.
I... I think I just fell in love with Cindy.
Episode was pretty fascinating and I love how the kids look up to Ika. I guess her "brainwashing techniques" finally got the better of them!

I think the kids like her because she has cool tentacles, she isquitevery childish, and is easily manipulated. But I guess also honestly funny to be with, if you can stomach the invader mentality.
