| Ika deserves a 3rd season, I demand it! |
| the zombie apocalypse was a nice touch, and lol at the star wars reference. :P |
| gonna miss this show for a while. 3rd season is a must :D |
| Nope. |
| Enjoyed this season same as the 1st. And as well hoping for a 3rd season. and more of the mysterious blonde girl with red eyes. So 3rd season please!! |
 |
| I didn't really like the drama aspect of this last episode, but I loved seeing Tako Musume again... 4/5. I give this season an 8/10 too. The middle wasn't as entertaining as the first season, but it picked up during the end. I would not mind a new season. |
| 10/10! Third season please!! |
| 3rd season please? The first season had better drama in the end I think, but this one was good. |
| Brilliant |
 |
| This ending was better than the one of the first season! I want to see a third season!! Episode 10/10 Season 8.5/10 |
| Nice way to end it. But that mysterious visitor had no name at all. We will miss you, Sanae. |
Goosta said: However, as a whole this was a fairly disappointing sequel. I highly enjoyed the first season, but the second season just didn't have the same charm. Although the ending was decent, it doesn't make up for how average the rest of the season was. 6/10 Agreed, and scored accordingly. The comedy didn't work as well as it did in the first season, too. Of course, I still wouldn't mind another season. |
| Well, the ending isn't what I hoped for but overall, this was a squidly fun series :) |
 |
| I am a bit let down by this season, did not have much of moments as those in the first season. And I see a quite few here who feel the same. |
 |
| had a fun time watching this series! loved it! :3 |
 |
| Great final episode, the ending was really beautiful, though I do wonder who that light brown haired girl was with the red hat that also appeared in the last episode from the first season! either way great Anime in general 8/10 |
 |
| i personally enjoyed this season just as much if not more than the first season, i really am glad i picked this series up on a hunch, turned out to be awesome 9 degesos out of 10 |
 |
| Back from the work fall on the bed and watch Ika Masume, how relaxing 9/10. |
 |
| Nice moments between Eiko and Ika. nice way to end the show. i hope we could see the 3rd season someday. 8/10 |
| Fun season but even with two episodes with two Mini Ika, I still think season 1 is much funnier and more charming. 8/10 |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| this is such a great anime 10/10 for me i hope it gets a season 3 :D |
 |
| That was a seriously good finale. I'm such a sucker for sibling stories. |
RLinksoul said: 13man18 said: It's that girl with the red hat. Tako Musume? I bet you that's her name. THIRD SEASON NAO!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, her name's Kozue Tanabe . People get the idea that she's an octopus because of said name. TA-nabe KO-zue, Tako being the Japanese word for Octopus. what sorcery did you use to find out? Is she already in manga? Wild feels strike again Great finale Now onto the OVAs |
  |
| Wanted to keep my score at 8 but had to drop it down to 7. The first season did wonders in the comedy but the second season seems to be lacking in it. It was still fun, overall. Now that I've finished this, I can watch the OVAs next, de-geso! |
| Still funny in parts but the material was nowhere near as good as the first season in my opinion, 7/10. |
| What an awesome series. I don't like Eiko ever since season one...I don't why, but just can't stand her character. I prefer Sanae more than Eiko. Ika Musume is still cute as even can be. 8/10 |
 |
| Wow, that was incredibly cheesy. 3/5 |
 |
| Great way to end this pretty good and prob underrated series. I will definitely cherish this anime in my heart and rec it to other ppl who enjoy slice of life I guess. Time for the OVAs and specials! |
| And there comes the totally not suspicious girl to save the day :P 7/10. |
 |
| Painfully cringy, the episode was. This is a step-down from the first season, it felt stagnant, very stagnant, and overusing the same joke. Sanae's purpose was just there to idolize Ika Musume to a rather creepy level of obsession, literally the same type of joke every time we see her. The cute shy blonde's character was reversed in order to give her yet another fake "development" which will go nowhere, because the author knows that her character will become dull once she's got her development. There were a few rather fun segments but far few in between. I am rather disappointed. On the other hand, Ika Musume is still cute as always, though sometimes can be rather forcefully ignorant. I also forgot to mention this but this series had potential for horror, based on the first season. |

The perfect crossover. This is probably the worst Eiko has ever been. It was clearly an accident and she's gotten a little TOO stubborn to apologize. I don't recall a single time when Squid Girl was in the wrong and not apologize. That's sad Eiko. Really sad. It takes a lot more effort to mend a relationship than to recover a lost game data. She needs to grow up. And seriously, who the hell is this girl?  In the end, Eiko didn't apologize for saying all the mean things she said to Squid Girl. This is probably the least satisfying episode. :/ |

| Seasons 1 and 2 were similarly...ok. Was expecting more, the episode structure doesn't lend itself for slice of life and it wasn't funny enough to be a pure comedy, it was this in-between that doesn't fully explore either the characters or the setting. Would have liked to see more segments similar to the one where Ika Musume followed ants around to find their secret base. S2 could have, having established the characters, been more comfy and laid-back but they chose to reuse the same jokes over and over again. Sanae was only a character five minutes before she notices Ika Musume, for the rest of the series she is just one long joke. Ika Musume is cute though, so is her voice, and her speech pattern. |
| I'm glad they made up, but then they fought again, such closeness! Wonder who the blonde? This was a very great season as always, my favorite anime! 9/10. |

 |
| The whole episode was about an argument between Eiko and Ika Musume, a bit weird way to finish the series but it was good. Also the end was heartwarming, but i'm not gonna lie I was still sad because it is finished :( Overall great season again, same as the first one, I will miss this series so much... |
 |
| Good finale, although it could have been a little better. This season wasn't as great as the first one, but I still liked it a lot. |

| Nice finale. Ika will always be a failure as an invader. I liked the festival part. Everyone looked good in their yukatas. It was nice to see Kozue again. Yep, she's an octopus, like Ika. I'm glad Ika and Eiko made up. <3 Everyone together. :) And now they are arguing again, lol. Overall, a great season, but not a masterpiece like the first one. |

| ikas and eikos fight was quite dumb. eiko multiple times says something along the lines of "fighting like kids" through the show then proceeds to turn into a stubborn kid here. but overall i really liked this series. i might prefer season 1 over this a bit more but they are very close. strong 8 for both seasons. would gladly watch a season 3 if that somehow became a thing. Sanae is definetly my favorite character aside from ikachan (and mini ika) herself.  |

| This was a pretty good for season 2 of Squid Girl, Eiko and Squiddy had a fight and then made up in the end. We even got to see that mysterious girl in red from the last finale too. Just who is she anyway? Overall I will say I liked the second season but I will only say that it's decent. Why? Because I feel like while yes, it is indeed decent, I feel like however that doesn't have the same bite that the first season had. Basically I feel it was at times reusing material from the first season, and essentially being a bit repetitive when it came to the scenarios and jokes when it came to development in the show. Don't get me wrong, I liked the fact that I got to see Squid Girl and the gang again and it did have quite a few funny moments and it still had heart to it,but this season just didn't have the charm the previous season had and honestly the first season was so much better in that regard. While still a fun show but not as good as before, it was a decent outing for me. I'll probably check out the OVA episodes when I can. But for now, Squid Girl Season 2 will get a 7 out of 10 for me. |

Nice episode. Sanae finally get to hug Ika-chan, haha.
Waiting for 3rd season, btw
Waiting for 3rd season, btw
| @TurtleX3 are you still waiting for 3rd season? I am but I read the manga in the mean time .. Haha it's been a long wait |
| For years Ive always wondered why such a beautiful funny slice of life comedy has such a Melancholic sounding emotional ending song compared to the overall feel-good nature of the anime. This is probably because this contrast actually enhance the emotional impact of the series. The song, “Kimi o Shiru Koto” by Sphere, is about a sense of longing and introspection, which shows a different side of of our Heroine Squid Girl and her experiences. Even in a lighthearted and comedic series, moments of reflection and subtle sadness make the happy moments even more meaningful. It’s a way to remind us that even in the midst of fun and laughter, there are deeper emotions and human and squid connection at play. |
