So cute and so funny, Ika Musume is almost a sea version of Yotsuba !

Well I am not into moe stuff but Ika is really cute, too bad she ended up meeting such evil humans :P

For some reasons I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of these pics!

So what does "de geso" translate to :O

Nothing, it's just a squidified desu, which can't be translated either.

Wrong. 'Geso' means 'Squid leg'. It's good pun, like how episode titles are '------ ika?'.

Well I stand corrected although the squid's appendages are not referred to as legs but rather as tentacles... and she does, for the most part replace desu with de geso so it's obviously a pun and not supposed to be translated literally. Still, the more you know. :-)

Either opinion is also correct.
yeah,"geso" is squid tentacles as food.
In Japanese, the desinence often changes by talker's character.

De-geso is a mere characterization.

Oh, a few of those I actually didn't know off so interesting to know. BTW, it's interesting the manga translations actually use the squid puns although I understand why the anime subs do not.

I didn't enjoyed it as much as the first episode. It wasn't bad but i was really laughing with the first, now i just threw a few smiles. Still better than quite a lot of this season shows. Hope it won't go downhill as it goes.
Ika Musume is love though. No stupid dog can compete with her in cuteness.


totally agree!!! when they said that about the dog i was like 'screw the effin dog! she's much cuter!' xD

I also laughed when she told the lifesaver what can his light-saber do? I couldn't help but picture Ika swaying lightsabers with her tentacles. :P

Same thoughts and feelings on my side! The first episode had me a bit skeptical - it made me smile a few times and was a pleasent watch, but I had doubts the concept would keep me entertained. Luckily, I was wronged! This episode really made me laugh and got me charmed. And while the inked cake was super predictable, it still made me grin ^_^

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the actual cosplays Ika was wearing.
Red china dress = KAGURA-CHAN!
I must admit I barely recognize the others, but most seemed awfully familar and there was a colourful one that reminded me of Chokota Sister.
Can anyone name them all?

I lol'd at what Ika Musume thought everyone was talking about in the birthday one. Especially at "it's the right thing to do."
I was also expecting her to ink all over the cake.

That opening blurb is a better explanation of Goro's job than what he says later. I don't know if he protects the sea so much as he allows people to have fun in the sea with a decreased chance of dying.

Aw so precious! :)

I suppose if they'd remember that this isn't someone who will understand what various things are for without explanation, we'd have a very different show.

If I were to guess(o) based on appearance, I'd say... 14 or 15? But then, as she only looks human, there's no way to really know at this time...

Sparklers or snakes, either way.

As if having Christine Marie Cabanos as VA isn't enough, this situation makes Ika remind me of Azusa even more. Which is no bad thing, to my thinking.

(Of course, since Sanae shares a VA with Ui... :D )

Sanae's pretty cute.

According to Wikipedia, there's a dog named Alexander on FMA.

"You really shouldn't let a dog eat raw squid, you know."

Heh, I picked up on her intent to use Alex to get Eiko somewhere else while she has her photo shoot just from the anime. So it's even more obvious in the manga, eh?

Okay, how did she get Ika's sizes? Did she just eyeball it?

Miko Musume?
