Third part is a classic variation on wordless animation, something rarely seen in anime but very common in western animation (notably clay animation).

It's good to see it breaking the trends, keeping a very charming touch to it...

Really good episode.


I recall Mitsudomoe did it last season

Loved the third part, she was so cute! :)

The school sure seems like a military base when Ika Musume describes it.

Third part was best part. Probably my favorite episode by far, thanks to that part. Although, at first, I was like "wtf".

5/5, what an awesome episode. The third sketch was incredible, kawaii Ika-chan ^__^ The last few parts of that also reminds me a bit of Up--gratz to the studio for emulating that so well.

First part was okay, I thought the second part was very funny, then the third part came.

WOW!
I don't know if the show can ever top that, and to honest, I wasn't that huge of a fan of the punch line afterwards, the show had just sent us on a pretty emotional journey (confusion-humor-happiness-depression) and it felt a little out of place. Oh well, best bit of anime I have seen in a while.

The third part is the most touching of the entire series, very cute. :)

The second part is funny, and in first Cindy Campbell certainly is gifted. XD

...It's your fellow humans' trash, miss.

Doesn't communication involve listening to the other party?

Yeah, she said 17 on one of those preview thingies.

Hee, I guess her first encounter with high school uniforms was cosplay, wasn't it?

Somebody, either in this thread or another, compared Ika to Yotsuba, and lo and behold, an episode where she wanders the school making assumptions about what she finds without anyone around to correct them. (Of course, Yotsuba didn't think of things in terms of a military base or academy...)

Well, sort of: the girls are dressed exactly the same way, and the boys are dressed exactly the same way.

...Alright, Miss Roe-get, we jet the point. Mainly, that you didn't ink that far ahead.

Hrm. They'd have to devise a special curriculum. As we see later, she's way advanced in some subjects. They'd have to make sure they aren't too far ahead or behind so she doesn't jet bored.

:,(,,, oh my god. my soul... it is exploding with love and adoration for chibi-ika! It was so heart-warming to see her actually enjoying squid-girl's company. As the show turned from funny to lovely, I was steadily expecting it to end sadly while denying it at the same time. But when I saw a hospital bed and a girl's hand with aging veins on it, I knew... I knew manly tears were coming :,)
