Shinkryaku! Ika Msusme is an anime about a squid girl called Ika Musume who has came out of the ocean to terrify human beings so that she can dominate the world!
Story: 6
The story? Ika Musue is a squid who notices pollution in the ocean from things such as cans and wrappers left from human beings. She then decides to get out of the ocean and try and take over the world and teach the humans a lesson!
She then bumps into two girls called Eiko Aizawa and Chizuru Aizawa, and it turns out they they are sisters who own a small cafe/restaurant right outside the beach.
...
Ika Musume ends up breaking a wall of the restaurant and she ends up working in the restaurant with the two sisters. From there on, Ika Musume has many different adventures and half of the time she forgets that she's on the surface to invade!
I gave the story an overall 6 because I really enjoyed the story with its comedy, however I feel as if it could still be improved. I'm not saying that's it's a terrible story, I love the story, it's just that I feel there could be improvement.
Art: 8
The character art and the scenery, in my opinion, is great! It might not be as detailed as other anime, but the simpleness of the character art really shows the genre of the anime; comedy and just plain fun. The scenery is amazing, they have really captured the beauty of the sea and sand at the beach in the best way possible.
There's not much that I can say about the art, but it really is nice. I gave it an 8 since the art is stunningly nice, the character art has such character (literally!) and the scenery of the different areas is magnificent.
Sound: 9
Now, I don't really pay attention to the sound in anime, but the sound in the anime really works well. Every funny scene, sad scene, scary scene etc has wonderful music to accompany it with, and the music basically goes hand-in-hand with each other. The sound quality is just great, and the character voices really suit the characters and their personalities.
I gave the sound 9 because I honestly felt like the sound worked great. Nothing else to say.
Character: 8
I love all the characters in this anime, especially Ika Musume. Her character really makes me happy since she's just adorable and cute. She tries to act tough about taking over the world, but she really doesn't know what she's doing!
Eiko is the type of girl who will force her employers to work hard. She usually gets angry at Ika Musume because Ika likes to fool around and other things. She also doesn't care much about Ika's safety when she makes Ika do things in the restaurant.
Aizawa is Eiko's sister and she is very polite and kind to everyone, including Ika Musume. Unlike her sister, Aizawa cares more for Ika and her safety, and she has grown a liking to her fellow squid friend. However, annoy Aizawa in any way and she'll unleash her fury, and it's very scary!
I gave the character section an 8 because I just love how all of the characters have completely different personalities. A sign of that in an anime is great, since you don't want many characters and those characters have the same personality, because that's boring.
Enjoyment: 7
What can I say in this section, really? I just loved the anime so much. It's different than the other anime that is currently out there, mostly because it involves a squid girl! I really enjoyed this anime a lot, but the reason why I gave enjoyment a 7 is because I think that the anime in some aspects can be improved.
Overall, I have gave this anime an 8. I have gave this anime an 8 overall because of how I have rated the different categories throughout the entire review. It's a great anime, and I would recommend everyone to watch it, especially if you like funny anime involving a squid girl.
Thank you very much for reading my review.
