Yet another one of the many ways she could take over the world but doesn't realize it, Baseball.

With that kind of talent, she could make a billion.

GOLD! Poor Takeru... first he's boring, now he's a bed wetter. :-P

Short of the the last segment, most of this episode was rather disturbing. That's alright 'cause I laughed my ass off. Favorite moment being Ika Musume scaring the piss out of Takeru with that giant weather doll.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds that stuff disturbing. They really do look like a bunch of effigies being hanged.

Loved this episode, i think the first one was the best.
By the way, wasn't that Sanae of the Dead a Shawn of the Dead reference? (Hell, its even in H.o.t.D. :D)

Sanae of the Dead - lol
Loved how Ika painted Chizuru. xD
Takeru's portrait of Ika was very beautiful. :)
But Ika's self-portrait was the best. xD However, her Teru Teru Bouzu looked scary.

I felt bad for Sanae during second part.

Basketball part was really funny. :D

Drawing bit was good, I loved all the crazy artwork, and also how they tricked Ika into standing in front of the window for ages, pretending to be a teru teru bozu!

Sanae's dotox was almost terrifying, with all the hallucinations and what-not. Reminded me of Trainspotting when Renton cold turkeys from heroin!

The baseball at the end was amazing! Squid Girl just has to realise that if she uses her tentacles she has amazing power, but she's a bit of a baka, so she doesn't!

Mini trip-out at the end there!

Actually, Chizuru would probably be the better model. She seems patient, wouldn't get bored easily, and wouldn't elicit comments about Takeru being related to a squid.

Also, Ika looks angry. Chizuru's warm smile would be better.

Also... there's such thing as digital photography, you know? Take a picture, and draw from that.

I really don't think those do anything, situationally accurate or not.

Or people could just not inktroduce easily-dashable dreams like that one, but I suppose that's an easily-dashable dream on its own.

"Special" is one way to put that understanding...

Oh, similar principle to the cold shower.

Smelling the clothes, like when she smelled Ika at the shopping district...

Nice little montage, when they could be around each other normally.

That was almost... inst-ink-tive.

it was funny when all the little squids were marching around Sanae.In the end the lesson is you dont try to stop being true to yourself since you will just end up lieing to yourself feeling empty. Though she kinda screwed her self over since she deleted all her pics and got rid of all those outfits.

Holy fuck, the second segment was retarded.

How come nobody in the other team was questioning their use of a squid person? Disregarding their lack of reaction to such a phenomenon, isn't that technically cheating?

Great fun this episode! Also the part with Sanae and her fixed, it was sad on the one hand, humanly speaking, but also very funny and cute. Ika-chan remains the undisputed star, Sanae also manages to be a great personage in his fifteen minutes of glory. Drawings and animations, very good.

The first part was good. The part where Chizuru and Eiko were drawn were funny. Especially Eiko. I knew that she was the robot in the last episode. Also, looks like Ika made it rain.

The second part with Sanae was okay, but I kind of already knew that Sanae will never let go of her obsession with Ika. Looks like she is a M though.

The last part was quite unoriginal. But it seems like Ika has talents which are unrelated to invading after all.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

At the beginning of part 2 I felt sorry for Sanae as the abuse against her was pretty rough. But I took back my sympathy by the end, she really does it to herself.

The whole episode kept me laughing, but I noticed that by part 3 their animation budget must have dried up, since there was a number of noticeable static frames that lacked movement. I wonder whether the art and drawings in the first part or the fancy movement during the baseball game took up more resources.

Damn, Sanae is experiencing withdrawal symptoms. As Rick James once said, "Squid Girl is one hell of a drug." Of course, I am paraphrasing.
