Shinryaku Ika Musume?! The issue that always comes up with sequels to comedy series is whether the show can maintain it’s charm. Or to be more specific, whether the sequel can improve upon the flaws of the original, and evolve so that the jokes don’t become stale or reused. Working, another comedy series that aired [...]

As much as I love squid girl and will miss it when it’s gone. I hope this is the last season they do because I feel they have exausted the idea and going any further would be overkill.  That being said I think the manga is still ongoing so we may very well get more [...]

The big disadvantage of having a successful comedy is that people want to make sequels of it. It sold well, so hey: why not try milking it out some more? What/ You mean to say that the first season already exhausted all of the possible jokes that could have been made? Who cares! People will [...]

Oh man, The Three Stooges’ inventions were really effective this time around. The only problem, it ends up failing as usual. Part I – You’re getting very sleepy… In actuality, I never believed in hypnotism since it’s just an act.  When I was in high school, the student council always planned to have a hypnotist [...]

Snow during the summer? That is not possible! Part I – Grilled Meat is Serious Business I have to admit that I’m not a big fan of beef ever since the Mad Cow scare happened back in the early 2000s. As a result, I avoid any beef products and obviously, I miss out on the [...]

So somehow squid girl still makes me laugh. It’s probably because two of the three episodes this time had the three stooges in it. The hypnotism episode was a laugh and it also shows that Eiko is a good friend, even though her friend is a crazy stalker Eiko still has the heart to try [...]

I’m sad that squid girl will be coming to an end soon but then I was reminded that the English dub will be arriving in Australia in January so that means I can enjoy squid girl all over again. Provided the dub isn’t awful. Snow squid is one of my favorite costumes so far. So [...]

It’s obvious that the economy took a toll on everything, including the amusement park Eiko went to as a child. Part I – Soap Opera Play House I have to admit that this part was hilarious mostly because a girl forced Ika and others to play house with crazy situations.  Risa simply sets herself, Eiko, [...]

The first part about this episode which involved the fantasies of a drama loving little girl was probably my favorite episode this entire season. The comic timing was perfect and that little girl was brilliant.  When she invited Ika into the park and performed those skits about the disfuctional family I was thinking two things. 1. Who [...]
