| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- was bit serious... i hope the next season ep 5/5 ,series 8/10  |
 |
| Who is that girl that point were Ika Musume are? 3rd season maybe in 2012 |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Tako Musume? |
| Beginning was a remake of episode 1 of the first season. It was cool comparing the differences between the two. Also, that girl from the end of season one returned for the last episode of this season, similar to 3rd season please! |
 |
| good last ep overall i think 1st session was better 7/10 however i would not say no to a 3rd session. |
 |
| Great last episode with a touching end, too bad the peace between Eiko and Ika didn't last as they are at it again after the credits. Needs a third season as well. 9/10 |
 |
| Hmm I wonder who was that girl that appears every season end? |
| "Kindness can bring you even bigger troubles." - Akemi Homura[/right] |
| It was nice to see some development between Eiko and Ika Musume. It reminded me of a Keroro Gunsou episode with Natsumi and Keroro. I'm hoping for another season as well. |
| Good episode. Hopes for another season! |
 |
| WHO IS THAT BLOND GIRL IN THE RED HAT!? Relative? Who knows. Hope to find out. Banking on a 3rd season. Will flip out when I see the announcement. |
 |
| Ika gets deep. |
| They decided to use the "two people that are close break up" plot, which is used quite often. It made this episode way too predictable for me unfortunately. |
| I thought the first story was better than the second one but still a good end to the season imo. |
| yay, Ika Musume in Eiko's yukata! :) Loved this season (just like last season). I want another season, please! |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Nice episode. Sanae finally get to hug Ika-chan, haha. Waiting for 3rd season, btw |
| i've been spoiled to much with sanae/sena this season i will miss her very much :( not sure i felt like the first season was kinda better 7.8/10 because im cool like that. |
 |
| First season, Ika Musume shows she cares for Eiko. Second season, Ika Musume hates Eiko, but then makes up. What do these things have in common you might ask? It's that girl with the red hat. Tako Musume? I bet you that's her name. THIRD SEASON NAO!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| They should make next season serious lol. Where somekind of crazyass invader from sea comes.. cuz ika musume is too slow.. butthen cuz of some reasons he/she will return to sea xD (new invader i mean) But yeah overall series 9/10 |
 |
| Okay episode, still better than most of the episodes this season. I did like how Chizuru's last line wraps up the series. I wonder why they held back on the secret character, must have forgotten to insert code in the starting screen. She might have been the charm this season lacked, or maybe not. 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 Oh hi, someone who agrees. This is exactly how I've felt this entire season. There were a few good segments here and there, but most were really dull and lacking. |
| I liked the appearence of Tako Musume. Just like at the end of the first season, she indirectly ensured the continuation of Ika Musume's invasion, which -as is clear by now- is an emotional invation rather than a militant one. She might be some sort of watchful protector from the sea. Or maybe even an analogy for friendship or memories or something. Though I don't suppose it's that deep (see what I did there) a series. |
| Chizuru's opened-eyes again is auto-WIN! :D Second segment. I've seen the same storyline many times but still good. Now who was that blond girl that appeared suddenly? A hint for another season? Overall, the prequel still did better but second season has its own moments. I'd still welcome another season to this -de geso. |
| 8/10 from me i love this show so much but wtf with that ending are they gonna meake season 3 IMHO i love ending season 1 than season 2 |
 |
| Well, shit man. I kept watching this series hoping shit will get serious soon but fuck, season ended and she still hasn't invaded shit. Hoping for a "shit finally got serious" 3rd season. |
| The lowly maggot under the trash. |
| Just who the hell was that blonde girl? Anyway, by her appearance, i demand a 3rd season! :D |
Synoptic said: Well, shit man. I kept watching this series hoping shit will get serious soon but fuck, season ended and she still hasn't invaded shit. Hoping for a "shit finally got serious" 3rd season. There wont be stuffs like serious invasion in this series lol. That's just how it is, it's meant to be a comedy style slice of life anime. On the side note, i really liked how tako girl made her appearance at the end of the episode like how she did last season again. I think she's a potential good character, but too bad that she gets no screen time. I actually like that character alot. |
on 
| As much as I like season 2 it doesn't quite live up to the charm season 1 had but nevertheless good watch. 8/10 from me As for a season 3, my body is ready. |

| Ika-chan in a yukata is so cute!!! This episode has more depth than normal Squid Girl stories. I love how Chizuru said "maybe she invaded us a long time ago", she already invaded their hearts, awwww And more of Mystery Lady, I wonder if she's Ika-chan's guardian angel or something? I want to see more backstory (like where Ika-chan came from etc) if there's a season 3. lol@the ending credit images. I like the shot of Sanae trying to take pictures of Ika-chan, and the weird Squid head scaring the kids, and that random foreign guy who asked Eiko for directions showed up too :D |
 |
| Another mysterious finale appearance by Tako-musume? I love Ika Musume, but I didn't like this season as much. |
| Good Final episode,Ika in Yukata soooo cute First Part was good specially the Zombie Invasion was lol poor Ika Chan. Second Part was more serious that usual but was very good and hearth warming specially the last scene also we saw Tako Chan again i really want to know more about her. As a whole the season wasnt bad the comedy was good,the cuteness of Ika chan was kept but the 1st one had was funnier and had more charm but still it i give a 8/10 as it keep me entertained and Ika chan is lovely. I be happy to see a 3rd season...we need more Ika Musume!! |
| That first gag about training to invade was superb! I'm very tempted to give this a 9 just because of how witty and how well-delivered its gags are (Episode 4 up) but it is also quite noticeable that not all of its gags are effective and some felt like it was done before (Episode 1 and 2). I'm giving this an 8, but what a strong 8 that is - almost a 9. Ika Musume excels at what it wants to be, a very fun light-hearted funny comedy and it needs to hold onto that as not all anime can accomplish such a feat. Truly this anime deserves more attention. As most people here have already said, this show definitely needs another season. |

| I was wondering who that mysterious girl was but thanks to the forums I know her name. Anyway this ending was alright to me. This season had def good moments one of them for me was the early morning workout session that ika musume liked. Hoping for a third season with more bang as the 1st season. Overall 7/10 for me and I liked the ending theme song for this season. |
| How I felt when they made up: How I feel knowing that this is the last episode: |

| While some things don't require a third season, Shinryaku! Ika-Musume is one big exception. Especially if they still have things from the manga left undone. |
| Still had a good laugh with this series...Season 3? |
 |
| I do like my gag anime, and enjoyed this series. If the manga keeps selling then I guess we'll have material for more anime. If this anime was in any way successful, then I guess we'll have more! People like making money after all! |
 |
| i demand 3rd season!!!!!! >.< |
  |
| I agree with everyone who said that this season was lacking the charm of the first. Perhaps the glut of side characters detracted from the comedy. 7/10. Needs more mini-ika musume. OVAs please. |
 |
| Wait a minute... Didn't suddenly a mysterious character appear at the end of the last episode of season 1? Now suddenly she appears again! Even two times! Season three needed. This time it was actually 1/3 of the ep a random part and 2/3 of the ep a sort of conclusion, the festival part was done really good. But I'm seriously sad now that it's over again, this is really the kind of show I need lately to get me happy. I loved this show. |
| 10/10 S3 Here we come! |
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 Unfortunately i have to agree with this opinion and score despite being a major Ika Musume fan. It had it's good moments but it really wasn't as good as the first season and even got boring at times. |
| 5/5 for the episode, 9/10 for the series. |
| あらあら。。。 |
| Didn't like seeing Eiko and Ika fight all the time! Glad they made up in the end. Overall a very funny show on par with the first season. Therefore I'll give it the same score; 8/10. |
 |
| I found the last couple of episodes to be the strongest of this season's run. The first season had the novelty of the underlying concept as a strength. Now that she is getting more accustomed to life on land there has to be a bit more work on the writing to get the same laughs. I think it's got at least one more season in it though, particularly if we get a little more Chizuru x Goro action... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
