(L) Shinryaku! Ika Musume

[FlavorOfLife]

The 3rd part did contain 2 de-gesos right? Though not used as part of a sentence

What is the number of functioning brain cells left in all human beings? Zero.

What is that level of craziness? Over 9000!!

GYAAAAAAAAAA.....

And so the Ika-musume fufilled her promise of taking over the world. With everyone going "Shinryaku! Shinryaku! Ika Musume! Kyun!".

Does that sound like an utopia to you guys?

Now that would be a great combo. Just have them all chatting up would be hilarious. Plus they'd be much more solid for a world dominating force .

Spoiler for Ep5:

Well this was a fun episode. Sanae had one weird dream at the end of this. Is funny how she managed to have that dream but make the main character Eiko instead of herself.

Great job taking over the school though. I mean she had the principal hostage and if anyone challenged her she had a shrimp allergy card to play. How could that man live if he isn't able to eat shrimp !? Love Sanae's reactions though. She'd be perfectly happy as Ika Musume's personal guard . Definitely was Ika Musume's crowning glory of invasion so far in the series.

Spoiler for epi 5:

NOOOO! Eiko!!!!

oh wait that's just sanae's dream... but that whole 3rd part was adorable though.

part 2 in school was particularly funny. take over the world just to have all the shrimp you want? lol

[Seihai]

I'm probably being inconsiderable towards older people but it was really funny yet kind of odd how the director didn't react abnormally when he got caught by some unknown tentacle existances by a stranger who doesn't wear her uniform and thus can't be a student obviously (bad eyes?). Not to mention his life got threatened.
Well, I guess being forced to eating living shrimps made him nervous enough.

[ion475]

Last 3rd make my day...if full-size Ika-Musume is not moe enough, chibi version is even more moe...

And no, Sanae, you're not the only one that dream about having Ika-chan as a pet...

[Seihai]

I guess people see Ika-chan in many different ways but I personally like this series as an additional fact that I think that this show provides near to no moe.

Yeah that guy was remarkably calm about the entire experience. Some random person with tentacles shows up and takes over the school and he just takes it all in stride . I'm guessing he's the type that gives a remarkably boring speech to his students at the start of the year.

well it's more like different people have different definitions of moe

you said earlier:

The third segment is screaming adorable!, my heart's feeling fluffy

"adorable" and a "fluffy heart" definatly make me think of moe.


Anyway I loved how there was little to no dialogue in the 3rd segment,you don't see that much these days,it was really effective.

Chibi ikka reminded me a little of ponyo lol

[Tu101uk]

I really liked episode 5, especially the last segment. Silent comedy slightly reminiscent of the ol' Tom and Jerry days, reminds me of my younger days. ^___^ The very last part with elderly Eiko was particularly touching...

...Plus lil' Ika-tan is soooooooooooooooooo adorable... XD I loved practically every second she was on...

O-O~

EDIT - I love wintry scenes... :D Ika-tan + snowball rolling = win!!! ^.^

[FlareKnight]

Yeah that last segment was unique and nice. Have to give Sanae credit for such a good dream.

[Dop]

That third part was absolutely brilliant, I thought. Cute, funny, then almost unbearably poignant, but with a killer punchline. Mini Ika Musume was adorable.

I always love it when a show does something outside its norm, and for me that third segment really worked.

[Andrelol]

They should sell mini-ikas. I would buy 100 and form a mini-ika-army.

[Texas84]

I really don't care much for chibi, but little Ika was PRECIOUS! Nice story.

I guess we could expect Ika nendoroids later.

[Kagayaki]

Mini-Ika gifs!

[Kimura sensei]

Best episode of the year.

[Maceart]

I agree. All the character development on Ika Musume paid off with the 3rd story of episode 5. Truly heartwarming and touching.

[Qikz]

Ahwww, Chibi Ika is so cute and that ending was so sad.

[Bonta Kun]

Man does this anime walk a fine line, they are doing a great balancing act here.
On one side you gotta feel sorry and little pity for Ika-chan cause of the troubles and abuse she goes through.
And then on the other side you can't help but laugh at that misfortune cause it's damn funny.
Ika-chan you just wanna hug and not let anything happen to her yet at the same time when you how much fun you could be having when you mess her around you feel like you want to join in.

1st segment was funny with Cindy and Ika-chan trying to convince everyone she is a alien.
I liked the way Cindy was running away at the end, stuff like that amuses me.

Next a world ruled by Ika-chan and we get to all the shrimp we want?!

Yes please!
I grew up on a small coastal town and we got fresh shrimp straight of the boat, bloody good stuff.

And last but not least 3rd part was magnificently cute and totally brilliant!
2nd best piece of anime I've seen all year.
The musical score was perfect.
Really was heartwarming and touching at the end, didn't quite feel like you watching Shinryaku! Ika Musume until they remind us at the very end with it being a dream of Nagsa's where she isn't the main character, bloody brilliant!

Shana-tan?

Index-tan?

Oh please they got squat on Mini Ika-chan!!
