| Entertaining episode. Pretty funny, and much better than my initial expectations of this show. I wonder how close to the source material this anime will follow, because if it does, this show should turn out pretty fun to watch. I guess I'll have to wait and see :P |
 |
| From the screenshots, it looks it follows the manga quite well. CR subs should be out in an hour or so, I can't wait to watch it. |
 |
| Just watched it and it's just as good as the manga. :) |

|
| The director is MizuShima??^_^ I think I will love this . |
| Was pretty amusing, looking forward to subs soon. Nice gifs, I should make one from one of the scenes where she's acting sinister XD |
Ika-chan toast & yukata degeso<3   OP "Shinryaku no susume ☆” |
|
| Funny and cute episode. Looking forward for more. ^^ And Chizuru is scary!! (((((( ;ﾟДﾟ))))) |
| Nyuu~~ I like it！ |
| . |
| I couldn't wait any longer and just watched the RAW. Great start, very engaging and funny – even if you only know three Japanese words :D. I hope someone will fansub it, otherwise the five day wait is gonna be annoying :( ... I was surprised to find out that the director and writer each already did a number of good series. So the quality of following episodes should be just as good as this one :). |
| dumb and innocent ... |
 |
| This show is amusing, but I get the feeling that much of the humor is lost in translation. Lots of squid related jokes, and squid onomatopoetic sounds just don't translate well into English. The way she ends all her sentences, Degeso, for example. Or the names of the episodes always ending ika, especially written in katakana to emphasize the Ika part. |
| Omg this is so serious. |

| I, for one, welcome our new Squid Girl overlord. Now I need a squid hat to join her ranks. |
 |
| love love love love it i really enjoyed the first episode well i do love the manga too i want a squid hat too and i would love to have a pvc figure of her. |
 |
| I can't believe Squid Girl couldn't tell that it was Takeru in disguise. XD Wow, The nicest sister (Chizuru) is the most scariest of all. O.O LMAO @ the customer when he said "The salty taste from the ink is really something!". This is a cute and entertaining series. Can't wait for the next one. :) |

Can't wait for the next one. :) It won't be long before Japan releases a squid ink product under Ike-Musume brand! There's going to be a lot of demand for sure. ;) |
| |
| I got pretty much exactly what I was expecting. It was a strong first episode, but it's definitely going to get repetitive and I'm not a big fan of the genre. Starting at 5/10. |
| Loving the first episode. Ika-musume is cute and charming. The ink made me laugh so hard. This one' s a keeper. |
| lol @ the part where she was trying to squash the fly. XD |
 |
| LMAO!! she vomit ink xD |
     |
| very funny first episode..i liked it alot :p |
| funniest first episode of this season ^^ 4/5 |
 |
| Great start. Ika musume is so cute. |
| I usually check the MAL forums/reviews before watching a series and so far, what I've read are positive. I'm gonna watch this :) |

| I am the light and the darkness tossed away by fate. I am hope and despair needed by all and to none. I am CuresDestiny. Fear me or Not it is all the same to me. <insert maniacal laughter here>  |
| This anime is great to watch after a hard day's work! Squid girl is so cute and funny, combine that with de geso is just too much. Loved this first ep, hope they'll keep up the energy! |
| Ika musume is so cute! It was funny but it had its bad points too. I'll check a few episodes if I want to continue this or not. But it was good. |
| First ep was OK. I was like wtf!!! all the time but still enjoyable. 3/5 for the ep. |
| Totally fell in love with the bib sis |
 |
| ... I think I'm not gonna eat fish for a while ... other than that, really cute series. |
| its really interesting xD hope next episodes r also good xD |
 |
| I just watched this and dopamine started squirting from all my orifices and eye sockets. It is the coolest thing anyone has made ever in the history of this or any other universe. If I can pull myself together I'll watch it again. |
| I think this show was off to a good start until they turned Chizuru into another one of those played-out typical calm and collected girls who have a "dark side". I simply cannot begin to describe how tired I've become of seeing those. I guess I'm just nitpicking, though, since it's not like anything else in this show is particularly original either. It's not like it ruins it for me or anything, just saying. Really have a taste for seafood now, though. |
| Feeling down? You may already be a charge target. |
| Poor Ika, I feel sorry for her being abused by Chizuru.This ep was funny. I just hope that i'm wrong and it won't become too repetitive. |

| I usually dislike shows that look a little childish but this was really fun. The squid girl and her naive world invasion plans were very amusing. She's quite a fun cute little thing Hope the series can keep the interest high and not run out of jokes and funny events. -6.4 billion?!!!!!!!! -How many did you think they were? -About...a thousand? Lol!!!!! That was so funny. Hahaha! Not to mention how she ended up serving people right after announcing her invasion. ionphantom said: I, for one, welcome our new Squid Girl overlord.
