It'd have to be the late 90's at least due to Nano's toe having a USB port, whose specs weren't defined until then.

ronelm2000 · 2011-04-15, 10:16

Or maybe the anime just loooooves retro. ;P

They didn't have flatscreen TVs in the 1980s.

I image the Virtual Boy is to show a contrast between the guy's air of richness...and the fact that he's a farmer's son and probably poor as hell.

Mia is just being weird...she was reading real estate magazines previously. Thigh might be her parents machine that she's been playing with since she was a toddler. Sort of how some kind in the late 90s and early 2000s would break out their parents old Atari 2600s to play old school games before the Atari PC controller and game packs came out. (Mine still works even)

I generally assume a series takes place in the year it was created unless explicitly stated or shown otherwise.

Hmm, First was Indonesian, then Thai. What's next?
Korean? Tagalog? Aboriginal?
So curious to wait.

ronelm2000 · 2011-04-16, 00:02

Tagalog? I'd love that, but what's to make a joke of it?

Sasahara x Misato

Sasahara x Mio

Character songs, to the surprise of few, have been announced. The first three to have this honor are the Professor and Nano (and Sakamoto).

~~Pocari_Sweat~~ · 2011-04-16, 10:47

All I got out of episode 2 is "ROLLCAK-EY".

nojay · 2011-04-16, 11:02

Retro games consoles appeared in Shinryaku! Ika Musume -- there was a lot of references to the Sega MegaDrive console including people reading MegaDrive Magazine as well as playing the games (and, IIRC a clip in the opening titles showing Ika trying to smash a cartridge into the MegaDrive's slot)

In contrast in the second episode of A Channel two of the girls play a Wii driving game.

amatakamata · 2011-04-16, 15:07

Another image batches.

Mia is such of troll...to Yuuko anyway.

As usual, Hakase, Nano and now Sakamoto steals the show.

Maybe I'm just getting sick of seeing schoolgirls being silly. Guess I need a change.

I guess I'll be holding on to this show a bit longer, this episode actually made me laugh quite a few times, particularly Yuuko being trolled by Mia and pretty much everything regarding Nano, the Professor and Sakamoto-san.

ninryu · 2011-04-17, 08:14

Lol, it's only getting better and better.

Kotohono · 2011-04-17, 13:58

The completely random comics Mai used to "troll" Yuuko with instead of being her homework were the best part of the episode

, and odd interuptions saving Yuuko from answering the question was an amusing scene, though Sakamoto-san's introduction was pretty funny too.

A few random things happen. Oh and the Professor continues to cheat at Rock, Paper, Scissors. Plus Nano has rocket hands with spares. And Mia can jump rope while reading. __________________ Last edited by Ithekro; 2011-04-16 at 21:26.

SilverSyko Okuyasu the Bird Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Alberta, Canada Age: 32	Spoiler for Episode 3: Ah, I instantly loved Sakamoto as soon as he started talking. Such a mature-minded feline.~ What was that inside the voodoo doll? I don't get it. Mai is ridiculously strong. With strength like that I'm surprised her ceps aren't bulging. =P Not as funny as the two previous episodes IMO, but still quite entertaining.~ __________________
