Why hello fans! It feels like it has been a little while since my last review, but that is only because I have been spending my time updating the site. I hope you enjoy the changes! Anyways, let's get on with it, shall we?
Ahhh..summer. The time where everyone heads off to the beach. Moonlit walks along the shore line, swimming, surfing... and everyone loves it. As for me? I often wonder what sort of things lurk down in that water. I mean, what if..

| Nooooope |
Yeah. I think I will stick to the shore where it's safe. Yup, I hear there is a cozy little beach house restaurant with really nice...

| Oh what the hell..... |

(You squidding me?)
Squid Girl is dangerous, but not in the way you might think. (What? I lead you on? You're crazy.) Her goal is to take over earth, and she is all for making it happen. At the same time she doesn't want anyone to get hurt and feels terrible when she does something to harm anyone. She is sweet, but still very confident in her ability to invade. People quickly fall for her adorable personality, even her captors. At the heart of things she is a little girl, and her childish nature often conflicts with her adult goals. She is very curious, and extremely sensitive. Her pride is often an issue as well, but still, something about her just makes you wanna take her side. Destroy all humans!
The two responsible for enslaving Squid Girl are the Aizawa sisters:
 |
| Suspect # 1 |
Interests/Skills: Very athletic, loves video games
Misc: She is both patient, and easily irritated. She is a decent teacher. She is the manager of The Lemon.
Eiko on the outside is quick to anger and mild violence, especially towards Squid Girl, but over time grows to care for her quite a bit, and most often plays the role of "big sister" to her. She quite frequently takes the time to teach Squid Girl various things about the brand new world around her. Patient indeed.
 |
| What a gentle soul. She must be innocent. |
Interests/Skills: Cooking, martial arts
Misc: Excels at being both an angel and the spawn of satan at the same time. She is quite concerned about her weight. She also has very poor eyesight (which is why she is always squinting)
Chizuru is the oldest of the Aizawa family. She is the main owner of The Lemon and takes a lot of pride in it. Most of the time she is calm and cheerful, and almost always puts up with Squid Girl's antics, however, when Squid Girl (or anyone else for that matter) gets a little too out of hand Chizuru opens her eyes and a demonic sort of aura radiates around her. This presence tends to intimidate everyone into submission. When attacked, her martial arts skills are unparalleled. She is also known to be quite competitive.

| Son of a... |
Believe it or not though, these two are not Squid Girl's real nemesis. Oh no no no... that would be....
 |
| Aww.. Shes cute! Wait..you wont trick me this time..... |
Interests/Skills: She is in love with Squid Girl, to the point of obsession. Loves cosplay and photography, and often subjects Squid Girl to both, taking pictures of her in various outfits.
Misc: Squid Girl in turn "hates" her.
Sanae is actually a very sweet, passionate, and loving girl. She is also very dedicated to her friends; her closest friend being Eiko. Her only crime is being hopelessly in love with Squid Girl, having fallen for her at first sight due to how cute she was. Normally this love wouldn't be a huge issue, as love is pretty inconsequential to Squid Girl, but she goes about in a really creepy way. As a result, she often times she gets tentacle slapped or has ink sprayed in her face. She actually finds this enjoyable, often times getting the pervert trademark of japan (bloody nose) but I suspect this is just because she is happy with ANY attention from Squid Girl that she can get. She is very protective of her in spite of the cold treatment she receives, and hopes to one day earn her love. Oh Sanae. I would just be happy you haven't been arrested yet.

| Err....Maybe someone should uh... |

| I KNEW IT!!!! |
The Ocean and beach are both very large, as such I couldn't talk about everyone. I guess that means you have to discover some of them for yourself!

Squid Girl is an anime that I had a little trouble with at first. It was a bit childish and I guess as such I judged it a little too harshly. From beginning to end I started to learn that maybe childish isn't always a bad thing, and that little squid's quirky personality quickly grew on me. This anime is very cute, and if you are looking for something more laden with blood and action you won't find it here. That being said, if you are looking for a good laugh without too much insanity (LOOKING AT YOU DOKURO) then go ahead give Squid Girl a shot.
