I hope every time Ika personifies herself as a small object we get a little mini-ika montage!

Chizuru is once again horribly frightening. I tend to frustrate people when they try to tickle me as well. I just stand there and tell them that it won't work. It's not where they're trying that's wrong but who's tickling me that makes the difference.

The English was amusing. They must've had someone who spoke English around to try to correct them and make it sound smooth as possible. I"m not saying they were perfect but it one of the best English lines I've heard in anime.

This episode Engrish and English. When Cindy's voice actor Hitomi Nabatame speaks English it sounds as if she's someone completely different, kinda weird. The Engrish subtitles provided by the Japanese had may errors in it.
I really lol'ed when I saw John Lennon and Yoko.

The first segment was so awkward, Engrish and all. Cindy's voice actor sounded like she stepped right out of the Bible Black dub.

Everything else was good as usual.

English was fun. Surprisingly, their English is pretty good (although there were spelling mistakes, but the pronunciation is definitely at least decent for non-native speakers)


Yea, that English was so damned good - it had be shocked. I didn't think any Japanese voice actor can pull off English well.

Lovely episode, the first part with the English puns was the best.
Tickling part and mini Ika was very unique.

From Lemon to Lennon, how brilliant is that? xD

Eiko's english never cease to amaze me. After all, she's the one who teach me to say "How menu please?" when taking an order from a foreigner.

Chizuru proves to be the "real alien", once again. So far we only know that her weak spot is her worry about her weight.

"That tea tube with ice" man I wan those.

I've invaded English de geso

That is weird, Cindy can only understand one particular language at a time -> Eataduckimust

Part 3: The boy's are too cute -> We must let her win (just like in the soccer game).. Giant on the loose LOL

When did we last saw Ika in chibi form??

I usually get really irritated when seiyu start talking in English, but Cindy was surprisingly good and the rest of them were okay too. Chizuru is scary, mini-Ika is lovely 4/5.

I'm surprised Ika doesn't know what ticking is as hasn't she tickled people with her tentacles before?


The first time she did it was when she was borrowing the lifeguard tower and proclaiming herself queen. That chapter of the manga takes place just a few chapters ahead of the one the second part of this episode is from, so it's a minor adaptation plot hole.

This.

Cindy's VA for the English parts was pretty bad, it made that part kinda painful to watch (not to mention the countless number of puns), but the rest was pretty funny.

You people are all either very dense or non-native English speakers. In fact, even someone without ANY knowledge of English what-so-ever should be able to realize that was NOT Cindy's seiyuu speaking English. The voices sound completely different and you can even hear irregularitys in the audio indicating that the English lines probably weren't recorded in a professional studio. I'm guessing they just got some American girl to read a few lines over the telephone and then spliced them in.


Lol yeah thank you, I was wondering why no one else picked up on that. An American acting amateur at that...Cindy's lines were like late 90's english dub quality awkwardness.

One of the big reason's I don't like watching dubs today is because I always expect the drama and energy that goes into the Japanese voice acting. I always wonder if I would receive dubs differently if the voice actors focused on imitating the delivery of the seiyuu. I think I've only really seen that once, and that was Vash (and only Vash) in Trigun, and I loved it. But I suspect voice actors would consider that approach hindering and unfulfilling.

The cross-language misunderstanding jokes were too forced. It doesn't make sense for someone fluent in both languages to not pick up on which is being spoken.

Easily the best episode yet. That English part was obviously the most hilarious one, but the two other parts were pure gold as well. That tickling, lol. It was also nice to see Chibi Ika again. She's so adorable. <3

English in anime never ceases to amuse me. Ika's English sounded cute. :3

Those misunderstandings between Eiko and Cindy were hilarious.

That tickling/hiccup part was pretty fun as well.

Chibi Ika is back. ^^ I loved her little adventure.

Poor Ika got sad after her Black Tiger Ticonderoga went back to the ocean. That scene looked beautiful where she was looking at the horizon.

Lenon. Pretty random ending, hehe.
