Introduction
After regaining her squid-like abilities, Ika Musume plans to resume her self-appointed mission to destroy all of humanity. However, her carefree job as a waitress in the Lemon beach house meant she cannot help but laze around during her spare time! On top of that, she is saddled with many problems, such as being pursued by a group of alien-obsessed individuals and catching the interest of a crazy girl.
Picking up after the conclusion of the first season, Shinryaku!? Ika Musume follows the hilarious life of Ika Musume as she plots her next invasion of the surface world.

A second season of Ika Musume made sense. I can only imagine a show with this much moe energy sold all the merchandise and made a killing, why wouldn't they make more? A problem you run into very quickly with these moe comedy slice of life anime series however is one of staleness. In a market that's already heavily saturated in the genre, it's difficult to keep things fresh between series yet alone trying to keep the ball rolling with just one show for multiple seasons. I'm not saying there's nothing here that's enjoyable, it's just more of the same.
Some people like more of the same. It's familiar, comfortable. I'll give it this, this type of show is incredibly easy to watch. Sometimes I feel daunted at the idea of slogging through another 4 or 5 episodes of some heavy seinen sci-fi thri…

I'm just left feeling empty now. I'm kind of bummed that we may never get more of squid girl.
So the second season i can't really say if it's an improvement over the first season. Second season seems to have more shorts stories. While the first season seemed longer. But we do get a lot more creative idea's in this.
I don't like that the Three Stooges or Scientist got even more screen time. I genuinely dislike them and feel they only hamper the shows quality. I still like Cindy. She can be fun by herself.
I also don't like the shy girls dad that makes weird robotic helmets of Squid Girl. First time i found it to be kind of fun but they kept bringing him and his heads back and it got old and annoying real quick.
I kind of wish we got to see Squid Girl going to school with the group of…

Here we go again!
The second season of Shinryaku!? Ika Musume is very much like the first season however with some changes here and there, for one, no more new characters are permanently added to the cast, it's the same cast we know with all their running gags only amplified.
For one, Cyndi and the Three stooges' invention gets ramped up into more bizarre inventions that utterly don't help the situation in their venture to make Ika Musume their test subject, Sanae's obsession with Ika Musume is amped up as well with her obsession going into masochist mild yandere states at times.
Once again many of Ika Musume's ventures are like making the more mundane things humans go through making Ika Musume seem to make it intense and awesome in alot of ways.
We do in this season get some mild char…

Shinryaku!? Ika Musume is the second season of the Ika Musume or Squid Girl franchise –a highly risible anime series about an adorable and bumbling anthropomorphic squid christened Ika Musume (unimaginative name, eh?) who originally intended to invade the surface to punish the filthy and callous human race for polluting the ocean.
Unfortunately, a high school girl (albeit with superhuman powers) trounces Ika in her first battle, which quickly puts an end to the underwater threat to human civilization. Of course, this hardly dissuades Ika Musume (because she is a numbskull) who ardently continues to pursue her quixotic idée fixe and concocts outlandish schemes, by the bushel, to conquer the world, all of which result in her being hoist on her own petard, in hilarious fashion.
Over the cou…

The devil plan of invasion continues……. Yeah right! It hasn’t even started yet. Well, if she’s not too distracted with all her much curiosities to almost everything. Still, like Chizuru said that in many ways Ika-chan already invaded their lives. With this sequel, there are more funny and cute moments. It gets more interesting as it gets more dramatic and there’s more touching moments. The jokes and gags are a lot cleaner and nicely done now. The storylines are a lot more sophisticated and interesting now. Well, not that season one was not interesting enough.
The characters are as weird, funny and unique as ever. Though, I absolutely think Sanae’s “hentai” – ness is tripled. After Ika-chan, she’s mostly the source of gags and funny moments with all her perverseness. But of course let’s n…

The invader returns for a second season. What I'd call a surprise hit from late 2010 was not going to go unnoticed this time around, it had a lot to squid up to.
If you've seen season one (which I'm assuming you have), season 2 is exactly the same. There is absolutely no plot outside of Ika Musume came from the sea to invade the Earth for polluting the ocean and is now working at a beach shack.
All the characters from last time are back too, and pretty much the same. Eiko still has a tsundere relationship with Ika Musume, Chizuru is still scary, Sanae is still in love with her, Nagisa is still scared, Cyndi and the three stooges still want to run experiments, etc. Kiyomi also returns with some side characters, who get no development, but are there to show Ika Musume made friends.

After a year of absence, Ika Musume returns once again to invade the anime world, bringing along with her all the gags and skits of the first season back for another run. For those who have watched season one of Ika Musume, this is definitely a must-watch. But even for those who haven't watched season one, you won't be missing anything if you jump right into the second season. All you need to know is that there's a squid girl "attempting" to invade the land. Shinryaku!? Ika Musume is essentially the exact replica of the first season except with different stories so don't go into it expecting something totally brand-new. So, let's begin the review ~de geso.

The artwork for the show has always been simple but good. The characters and backgrounds generally look lively, with the d…

Inkvasion sorta kinda suckcessful somewhat to a certain extent...
Whilst FUNi was waiting for Geneon so they can get their DVD+BD combos (as well as releasing fanservicy animu that feature "herbivore shounen"), Media Blasters (along with the non-"Poof Sputter" arm of Bang Zoom) managed to release season 1 onto DVD here pretty quickly.
Kraken-chan Season 2 is more of the same, unfortunately. There's nothing new about this animu.
* Chizuru is STILL an undefeatable Mary-Sue.
* Goro becomes her punching bag. Literally.
* Ayumi now falls into the "I can beat a guy up" category.
If this series wasn't so charming and endearing, I would've set it near the lot of other animu and cleaned it with fire.
But all in all... To the people who complain about the wack time slots they get on TV and cabl…
