It was funny that it was all sanae dream and was mad it wasint her but still it was very sweet and sad and it didint even have to have dialog.Though it was a dream would it have been smart to have kids to look after this little thing?

The segments with chibi-ika are my favorite ones in the whole series.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

The third part.... I had never expected this tragedy... When the ending song rang up I simply cried. It even doesn't have any dialogue but the story is full with love. I love this it so much.

The sad part at the end was so unexpected, maybe even random, that I kinda had to laugh about it. Though it was really well performed sadsauce.

Unfortunately, it outshines Cindy's awkwardly running away while doing the bitch princess laugh.

So what is Squid Girl anyway? If she's supposed to be a squid, then why does she look like a human?

Again among other bizarre and surreal situations, the narrative continues the daily life of Ika and characters that orbit around her, and without one noticing it, the story is more strides and add new characters. Very cute and sweet the final part of the episode. That cute, Ika in chibi version.

This episode was seriously good. The alien part had good comedy and The school part was funny, with Ika Masume interpreting the school as a battle station. Best part was with mini Ika Masume and Eiko. That dream was really nice. Man, I got tears at the end. 5/5. Also, mini Ika Masume was so cute.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I'll add to the consensus that this was the best episode so far. It might end up best overall...seems like it will be hard to top.

Cindy is a silly character, but she can speak Japanese impressively well.

I had a huge grin on my face the whole time Ika was exploring the school.

I saw the third part part before I picked up this series (it was what me convinced me to start watching).
Same for me. I saw the third part as a clip, except without the dream reveal at the end, as those characters wouldn't make sense to an uninitiated viewer. In fact, I think the third part works extremely well as a stand-alone short. When I saw it, I assumed it was actually one of the specials, since the Ika character looked so different than her appearance in the rest of the material. But yeah, it's very effective as a self-contained ten minute story.

Why do anime always make blondes either mega beautiful or intimidating?


ET's got nothing on Squid Girl


Fuckin' hell, Squid girl's hilarious in this episode


That dream is so sad. Mini Squid girl is still cute though.

Ika got her own training base.. ;P Now she'll raise good followers for her cause.. ;P But well, if talking seriously.. I guess at this point Ika can just continue cleaning beaches, and this way saving sea.. If she'd want more - creating volunteer group for that is possible, or something else.. But even now cleaning beach is sweet thing to do from her..

This is the best episode in this whole series.

Ika's school invasion and that alien part were absolutely hilarious.

Another hot lady. I like Cindy's funny personality. She's a great addition to the show. :)

The last part was a screenshot heaven. Chibi Ika is so adorable. <3 The ending is one of the saddest anime scenes ever. :´( Poor Ika...

Lol at Sanae. It was all a dream.
