Squid Girl TV Series Part 2

There's no denying how much I loved Ika Musume while it aired in Japan. I watched every episode each weak, hungrily anticipating the next. The humor in this series is great, the animation is well done and it all comes together to create a zany, fun and hilarious spectacle.Where did they go wrong? Well... licensing it. That's where.I'm rather sick of the old argument of ruining things once they hit mainstream, or how dubs ruin anime. While both of these things are evident in entertainment- it's not law. Squid Girl is a great series, so buy it even if you just want to watch the Japanese version, but DO beware.The box is where we'll start. How cheap can companies get? I mean, I understand every series won't get a cardboard box casing the DVD box, but this series deserved it! BUT- even past that, the DVD case this thing comes in is cheap! I do appreciate the series being split into only two releases- both having two discs each to total 4 discs within only two purchases. However, I do NOT appreciate cheap boxes with a spindle on each side of the case that can BARELY hold the disc! I sent back TWO of these DVD sets JUST to get one that hadn't fallen out and rattled around inside the case while shipping.There's not a single flyer, booklet or anything in the case. Just two discs that might fall out.The DVD extras are plain, boring and barely even there.The menus are cheaply done up, nothing is animated.And finally... the dub is incredibly bad.Overall, the series is amazing- but the product purely sucks.

I’d like to imagine that squid girl is the result of the dark lord Cthulhu rising up out of the oceanic depths from the city of R’lyeh to seduce and impregnate an eco friendly valley girl.And that the child of this unholy union would one day rise up out of the sea herself to lay claim to a Japanese seaside restaurant as her base of operations to conquer all the surface dwellers for foolishly polluting the oceans.While I’d consider the squid girl series a show written to appeal more to kids than adults I found that the whimsical characters and story won me over. Maybe it’s the Lovecraft fan boy in me or maybe its squid girl’s constant aquatic puns!

This is part 2 and contains the last 6 episodes of the first season.The story continues to follow Squid Girl and her friends at a summer beach house and as she learns of what life is like on the surface world she instead of invading it she learns about friendship.If you have the first part you need this part to compute the set.I wish that the series was complete in one box set instead of having to buy both parts.

This has to be one of the funniest anime series I've watched. It also has a lot of heart and great characters. Part 1 is definitely a requirement! If you can find the series in one collection, even better!

i also like anime comedy's like this one. it was very funny.

Worth my money, this dvd arrived safely, fantastic anime in my opinion! Wish that season 2 was out in dvd.

Part Two finish off the season and again for light fun give a try I enjoyed it.

A++++

This for me was a wonderful discovery.Just the artwork alone.It's so crisp and well drawn,the colours so bright.I first saw this on Youtube while looking at AMVs.(animated music videos)I couldn't help myself.I just had to buy it.It's soo wacky and funny and silly,great entertainment though.Squid girl comes out of the sea (fully clothed) at a popular beach resort and attempts to INVADE a beach restaraunt in her first step to taking over the world and punishing the humans for poluting the oceans.So far so good so funny.In the first episode Squid girl attempts to swat a mosquito.That animated sequence is absolutely brilliant,I laughed my socks off.She has powerful tentacle hair which she manipulates like extending arms and hands.They can act as spears or ropes.The beach cafe is run by a family of three girls who admire the local lifeguard and have their own admirers in their customers.Lots of red faced humour and beach scenes.It is cliche and typical but the take seems so original.The invasion attempt is turned on it's head when Squid girl has to work at the cafe to pay of the dept caused by her smashing a hole in the hut's wall during a fight.One of the sisters who run the joint is a ninja and she keeps Squid girl in check and not much invading takes place.Squid girl even ends up staying at their house 'cos they don't see her as a real threat.Some comical scenes there too.There's a scene where Squiddie pukes some ink over a meal in the restaraunt...and they eat it....YUCK.There's also a nice OVA extra included.Highly recommended for light hearted and amusing entertainment.

Continue to follow the exploits of Squid Girl! For our conquer Squid Girl she make adjustments to life on land.

内容は全く問題なし、ＰＣなので日本語で楽しめました。価格も国内品に比べて大幅安で高Ｃ／Ｐです。しかし２枚組のディスクの片方が傷もなくとてもキレイな盤面なのにメニュー画面が乱れたり、チャプター間移動が上手く行きませんでした。傷も無いのに再生不良、画面乱れがある事、もう一枚には全く問題が無いことを考えると海外ＤＶＤは国産に比べて安価な代わりにケースやディスク自体の品質が多少落ちます。Ｐａｒｔ１では傷がついていましたが、研磨しても完全再生とは行かなかったことを考えるとプリントの質にムラが有って多少品質が国産品よりは落ちるのかもです。今まで色々と買ったディスクの中では外れでした。でも内容は問題無いし、価格も大幅安なので、「まぁこんな事も有るさ」と行ったところです。

念のために言っておきますが二期ではないです。一期の後半、七話から十二話です。注意してください。

ミニストーリーも２話収録されており、とても面白かったです。しかし、ｉｍｐｏｒｔの意味がいまいちわかっていなかった私は、届いてからちゃんと再生できるか冷や冷やしました。パソコンで見れたので、よかった～！と感じています。
