pretty good, I'm glad I at least got some thing I wanna watch this season.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

Am I the only one who liked the OP of the first season? I think it was quite catchy and totally fit to the style of the show^^

Nice first ep, t'was funny, t'was cute, but still, somehow I felt like something's missing...
But well, I don't care. Can't wait for next ep!

*scary face* "Don't make a fuss in the restraunt" pfft poor Squid Girl was scared to death...I would be too if someone looked at me like that too. xD

Also those scientists people were supposed to be removing the jellyfish not multiplying them. xD

Apparently all the subbed versions released thus far (KindaHoribleSubs/Crazy Squid/HorribleSubs, etc) are using the scripts from CrunchyRoll (on better quality RAWs).

Hopefully FFFPeeps are doing this series as they also did the first.

Good to have Ika Musume back though! :P

Maybe my expectations were too high after the awesome first season. The episode itself was OK. I used to laugh much more watching the episodes of season 1. I hope it picks up. OP is pretty nice but nowhere as catchy as the first season's and the ED is nothing special. Don't disappoint me, season 2!

I miss the old OP, it might not have been good, but it was really catchy and fit the show (not like the new does not) very well. Having Ika-chan's seiyu sing the ending is a nice touch. Glad Kiyomi and Sanae returned, I really liked her characters, even though Ika is unrivaled in this aspect. I hope the girl in red from season one will also make an appearance sometimes during the run of the anime. 5/5, a squidly good start, keep it up!

The first OP was voted best OP of the year in Japan just recently, it fitted the show perfectly and was catchy as hell

This OP is just unmemorable, run off the mill anisong with none of the original's spirit or glee

In other words: Sphere is being Sphere but all otaku eat it up because seiyuus in it are popular

I fucking love me some sphere, but I would have preferred if Ika would have sung the OP instead. Needed another SHINRYAKU SHINRYAKU SHINRYAKU SHINRYAKU SHINRYAKU SHINRYAKU IKA MUSUME type song. Also IKA CAN FLY?!

First episode wasn't all that special, didn't really feel like the beginning of a new season at all. But still looking forward to more.

Animated pretty nicely.
Lots of laughs although I hope next week there's only 2 segments.

Great as always; this season shows promise. But next week's ep will be even better. Soccer? Cosplay?! Definite win.

I really like the OP and ED. I didn't like last season's ED, and the OP was ok, but these ones are really good.

This just made my day, de geso~!

Wow - there go my doubts about the sequel. I was actually more entertained than I expected. And they even managed to make an awesome opening!

I have to admit - I didn't even think about using those tentacles to fly until now. This should make her twice as dangerous ;-)

Aside from that, if Tomomi (Kiyomi's twin-tailed friend) gets a certain amount of screen time after this episode, I might just fall in love with her...

Then you want FFFansubs. They're among the only ones who don't take to the stupid squid puns.

Liked the first episode. The new OP is kinda meh, too generic. First seasons OP was a perfect match for the series.

Hopefully there will be some decent subs that satisfy my demand for well integrated squid-puns, included honorifics and Ika-chans correct name instead of "Squid girl" or "Squiddie" or whatever … seriously would anybody translate a name - a NAME! - like "Ai-chan" to "Little Love"?!

Yay, Ika is back for more silliness! I really liked this episode. I may be one of the best episodes yet (including season 1). Also Sanae is back to her old shenanigans again! xD

Ika-chan is as awesome as ever, let the invasion continue de-geso.
Poor Ika got her first scare from Shizuru first episode in.

Not a big fan of the generic Op song though. The last one seemed like a crazy little song that you wouldn't normally hear but it fit the show and it was addictive in a strange way. This one is just....a song.

Lol! They haven't fixed the wall yet..
and I really dislike Chizu being scary she should be the alien

"is there something I wouldn't have said??.. but really" -lol that part was hilarious

The competition for Ika all being that serious was really cute, and getting stung by haha

Well the Ending Theme song isn't much compare to the 1st season
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much
