A lot of Sanae in this episode...
It feels like I've seen that huge shrimp thing before though.

Just lol at the part with burglar. I felt Sanae was up for something with those cameras from the start.
Also poor Ika Musume not eating shrimp, i'm gonna eat some for her tomorrow!

The shrimp part reminded me a little too much of the part last season where Sanae tried to give up Ika, but I still liked it. There's something great about trapping Ika with shrimp.

First part was great. Second was okay, but I felt they've done this before. I could be wrong. Third part was perhaps the worst segment of Ika Musume ever. It's not that I don't like Sanae, but that last part was beyond boring.

Ika Musume was a little... too dumb for me in the first part. Seriously, she could have been hurt were it not for the fact that this is a comedy show and that burglar was so docile to the point that he was willing to play through all the way to the end.

Second part was the worst thing I've seen this whole show. It was just rehashing two of season 1's episode: the one where Sanae tried giving up on Ika, and the one were Ika had to stop herself from eating shrimp because of a disease or something.

Third part was actually good, the redeeming factor for this episode. It was really dramatic, and it was nice of Sanae to not attack Ika in her defenseless state.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Loved this episode. Best part is when she's screaming while running down the halls when the grocery store is having the Shrimpcon, or whatever. The third part was decent at best. Shows a new side to Sanae, I guess.

Feels like the staff were skimping after the two-week hiatus, the episodes got a bit boring. This episode was good, better than the last few, but still not as good as those before the hiatus. 4/5 for the first and third part, second part was lackluster.

First segment was hilarious. Misunderstandings are always entertaining. :D
Second was good. I laughed at the shrimp walking instead of a dog.
Third was ok. The censor part was funny. ^^

Good episode,i want to eat some shrimp now.

First part was hilarious the burglar was funny at misunderstanding Ika chan,Sanae save the day with her cameras...even that it is creepy as hell.

Second part was funny,ika-chan getting hallucinations of shrimps was funny also seeing so much shrimps make me hungry.

Third part was meh the only good thing was Sanae nursing her and the last scene.

btw i also crave for world domination!!

I guess I felt more sorry for the burglar than Ika! Also pretty creepy Sanae can keep an eye on Ika the whole time with those camera's. xD

Ika went mad when she didn't get her shrimp! Lotsa hallucinations.

The last part was also pretty funny. "You can't leave such a dangerous thing (Sanae) right here!". She doesn't trust Sanae one bit. xD

The last part was my favorite this time. Such an electric atmosphere... I could feel those latent yuri powers inside Sanae, waiting to break free :-o Fortunately for Ika, even Sanae has some ethics.

It's a shame they had to end it cliffhanger-style, but they couldn't go much further in a non-hentai anyway :-P

That part with the robber was awesome, the next medium the last was a little boring. It seem IKa-chans makers are having a little hard time on new inspirational ideas.

The quality of the episodes is dropping significantly lately. Remember first season's hilarious introductory episode? The episode where Kiyomi was introduced? Brainwashed ika chan? The original Sanae ebi cosplay and the characters' reactions? The baseball episode? The original mini ika segment? Takeru's ika-musume hat? The tako girl? Ika genius? The sandcastle fight? Where is that quality?

This episode highlights one of the main problems of this season: ika-chan is losing her identity as an underwater creature exploring the human world with hilarious outcomes. The robber segment could have been done with an alien or a naive moe girl in ika's stead; the shrimp love, which was used effectively in the first season's disease segment, could now be the gimmick for your average glutton heroine (and reusing the first season's Sanae-ebi gag was tremendously unimpressive, especially since that could never work as a running gag); as for the last segment, again, nothing set it apart from any other pseudo-yuri gag segment from dozens of similar anime. Ika did not even use her tentacles in this episode!

I suggest the creators go back to the basics of what made ika-musume work in the first place: ika-chan's sea creature nature and naivete *combined* making for funny character interactions and situations; there should be enough potential in the premise to churn out new gags and gimmicks. Reusing the old ones in half - hearted ways is getting stale now.

The misunderstandings in the first segment were great, I loved it.

Poor, poor Ika, can't even eat her favorite food... (Show needs more Kiyomi though)

You are safe Ika-chan...for now. 5/5, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

I imminently picked up on what game she was playing when this popped up. I spent countless hours to beat this game. Popping behind cover was something I've never done in a game. So glad I still have it and to know that other people also enjoyed this game. Other people such as Squid-girl!

It's good to know that Sanae won't take advantage of a helpless Squid-girl. She at least has some honor. Great episode!

Sanae is such a pro stalker haha. Her cctv cameras saved the day so I guess it's fine. I wonder what she did after Ika fell asleep in the first aid station :o

The first part with that burglar all the Misunderstandings was really fun.

It's a little creepy how Sanae can keep an eye on Ika with those security cameras. x3

Ika's hallucinations were hilarious. That pet shrimp looked scary, lol.

Sanae nursing Ika in the last part was cute. :3
