I agree part 1 was the best but enjoyed the episode overall. Those crazy MIT guys developed an indestructible portable handheld gaming device that has trollish games, lololol.

Now that's what we call a solidly built handheld, the controls are stiff to the point of nearly being useless those games were so funny, reminds me of the good flash webtoons on Newgrounds. Sanae dodging and jumping on top of Ikas' tentacles like a boss and Chizuru's backflip averting her slipping was very enjoyable.

Great episode. All the segments were funny. Especially the "well built" handheld and "normal person" ones. :)

This was a good OVA. The first one was the quite common Dragon Quest parody, with its own twist and a great ending. The third is one of the few segments that show Ika's child-like and susceptible side. Her reactions to when Chizuru and Eiko seemingly ignore her absence were done quite well. The second was my least liked of the three, but still good. So the show still had some potential, but just couldn't deliver in the second season. Quite a shame.

I miss this show. T_T It was nice getting a little more.

Couldn't help but notice that Eiko bleeds red and Ika bleeds black. I pray that's not ink or this brings some serious fridge horror about all the times she spits of ink.

Ayumi is soooo in love with Eiko. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. This one was the more boring of the three segments, but it's nice to see Chizuru continue to develop beyond a sociopath with comically unnatural abilities.

The third segment was one I remembered from reading the manga. If I recall correctly the part with Ika wondering what would happen when Chizuru finished counting came with a tsunami as part of her imagine spot. If so, that had to go for obvious reasons.

All in all a solid "episode" and I would love it if this series continued.

Very nice OVA. Makes me wonder why the second season wasn't his good. Perhaps it was just the source material? If a third season would be this good, I would have no problems with one.

very well done OVA, fits in very well with the rest of the main series

i loved the parts where chizuru thought of ways to break her fall from the banana, doing insane backflips when her face was literally an inch of the ground hahaha

Game part the best!
I still can't stop laugh at this part.
Second Chizuru was also great and funny.
Hide and seek - pretty cool,
but game and Chizuru part was cooler xD

Nice animation, nice op and end,
2 parts great, 1 average...

A good episode. My personal favourite was the second one.

Chizuru trying to calculate the most effective (and "normal") way of falling over a banana peel...

I'm no gamer, but that trial game could really piss me off. Haha!
That chapter was hilarious!

No surprise about Sanae's moves there. It's the power of love! Haha
I hope to see Chizuru and Sanae duel or something.

The manga is still running, right? I hope this series gets season 3.

Ah yes, I miss watching Ika Musume ^.^;; Good OVA overall, just like the funnier episodes from the series.

Definitely felt that the first two segments were stronger than the hide-and-seek one.

Oh yeah... OP was silly enough to make me laugh, ED was great.

I didn't really like the opening song, but the series itself was fine. The OP sounds and looks a lot more "Otakuish" now, with all those Anime references and typical moe-scenes. Exaggerated use of violence when Eiko tried to open her DS was hilarious, reminded me of School Rumble. Looking forward to the next ova though!

Among the three stories, the middle one about Chiho wanting to look like a normal girl is the most visually impressive and funny, and when I checked the end credits, I found it was directed and storyboarded by Mizushima himself. NO WONDER !!

The MIT trio's game console is a bit uneven in terms of laughter but the biggest laugh came at the end, which is good XD

The hiding game is interesting for its ending but instead of laughter I am more affected by the casualness they seemed to treat Ika Musume's absence and their assumption of her behavior. Since they are not addressed again at the end, it just got me to wonder if they really look at Ika Musume in such unfavorable light.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Chiho? Aren't you confusing two different characters here?

But yeah, that was a hilarious skit. She tried so hard to look human, only to realize how inhuman she actually is.

Have you watched the main show? If you did, I'm confused why you're asking.

Ayumi's really brave to actually say Chizuru isn't human. I'm amazed Chizuru didn't glare at her to death XD

Dragon quest reference. Many Animes like Gintama and SKET Dance get over this parody. Ika-chan and Eiko finger strength becomes inhuman at the end of the first part XD

Chizuru is funny especially the way she avoided the banana.

Ika-chan cosplay at the OP was over-moe dose. I can't take it...the Moegasm.

This 1st part of episode made me laughing so much hard where there is video game scenes remind me of AVGN (Angry Video Game Nerd). The first gaming scene is the reference to Super Mario Bros which which reminds me of people who made the stupid level/stage designs by trolls for Super Mario Maker. Are they're million of ways level/stage designs could look. Imagine possibilities.




Just like they're did on Super Mario Maker and trolls on them. Is it that entertainment? Nah, it's drama.

Lol, are the girls playing Unfair Mario or something?

Ahaha, the whole sequence of Chizuru falling down and having a long ass inner monologue. Sounds like your typical shonen action series.

Nice OP and ED. I loved Ika's cosplay at the OP.

That RPG part was hilarious. Eiko and Ika looked cute in those outfits.

"Ink Attack!"

Like, "flee for your lives!" Those mobs were too OP, hehe.

"Thanks for playing the demo! Please buy the full version! Yahoo-hoo! Bye!" Oh boy... Those MIT guys really know how to be annoying.

"In your dreams"

Chizuru wants to be treated like a normal human being. Well, that's understandable.

Lol at Ika's facial expressions.

Creepy Sanae with the inhuman moves made Chizuru to look actually quite normal.

Ika playing hide-and-seek was fun. Cute pout face. :3

fine special but the feel is a bit different to the main series. and also the subs im using are disgusting, whose idea was it to have ikachans speech be filled with squid, ink and tentacle puns every "think" is replaced with "ink" and they forced "tentacruel" in so many sentences.

sub rant over. here is super MIT kart:


and the op stiches
