About Squid Girl 2

Here is what Squid Girl 2 (侵略!?イカ娘) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and slice of life anime by diomedéa and Nomad (2011). At its core: The nefarious Squid Girl is back to continue her self-appointed assignment to invade the surface world. Or that's what she would do, if she could just stop getting distracted by squidding movies, reading squidly manga, and making friends as only a squid could make them.

More of the story: Squid Girl must overcome not only danger found at every turn, but her own squidly good nature as well.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Ika Musume (Hisako Kanemoto) and Eiko Aizawa (Ayumi Fujimura) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
