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

That was the worst burglar ever xD I almost felt bad for him.
The illusion of the dude walking his giant shrimp was so hilarious, I don't even know why.

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
