I enjoyed this episode far more than what I thought I would, I definitely don't remember enjoying the first season this much.

The new opening is also a massive improvement on the first seasons.

Sanae was about to snap when she found out Ika has friends.

Ika has some nice girls there along with a slightly older Kiyomi.

Sanae needs to learn Ika needs more friends than just her and that she doesn't like her.

I like Ika's constant mean side showing but it's all averted, lol at Chizuru's surprise grab.

Opening is boss and catchy, ED is sweet.

5/5

9.8/10

Ah, really loved the first episode. I've read just about every chapter of the manga that's out by now. And remember reading all of the parts used during this episode, some time ago. Loved them then, as i love them now. This is going to be great. As for the opening, it's deffinetively more pumping than the first, but i still like the first one better. Perhaps it'll change by time.

And the series as a whole seemed more high budget than the first season. The animations this time around were great.

Great opening ep.
Op is a lot more tolerable than s1.
Ed is nice yet again.
Animated pretty nicely.
Lots of laughs although I hope next week there's only 2 segments.

Am I the only one who found the first opening to ba a lot better than this?

But I agree, great opening episode. Sanae, Ika, Chizuru and all the other great characters are back again and now that I have read all of the manga chapters I can fully appreciate how good this adaption actually is.

5/5

Yay, the new season at last!
I wonder how long will it be. :3

Well anyways, a nice opening episode, to get everyone acquainted with the crew... Sanae is awesome. The "three stooges" are awesome. Ika is love. <3

However, the all-translated subs I watched are not. What the squidding hell. >_>

Oh and, unlike most of the people here, I don't like the new OP, at least not the song.
Now to be honest, I don't know Japanese and haven't seen the lyrics yet, but, unlike the first season OP, which might have been a bit screechy with the whole "SHINRYAKU! SHINRYAKU!" deal, this one just seems kinda... Really generic.
From the last OP song you could recognize Ika a mile away, while this one looks like it could just be sticked to any other slice of life anime and it's simply... Unimpressive.
But that's just my 2 cents.

Sanae looks so flat with the shirt on, when she was near those middle school girls, than in the 3rd arc, her boobs exploded while wearing a bikini.

The squid girl voice still sound the same to me.

What peeving me, is some dude writing a review for this series and giving it 10/10, when the first FREAKING episode was released today... I like Squid girl, but I don't think the series deserve a 10/10, maybe 8/10 is more reasonable.

THIS
I need to find better subs than HS for this. And I'm not really in love with the new OP either. It may grow on me, but the S1 OP was instawin and thus, better (IMHO)
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl
