Three very different stories this episode. The first was the least interesting, but that was mostly because it was yet another one of those stereotypical portrayals of Americans. It packed some great jokes, though, especially in the way that she managed to convince Squid Girl that she’s an alien, only for a bunch of shrimps to immediately break that spell.
The second part was hilarious, though, in the way that Squid Girl actually tried to take over the local high school. I love how subtly everything escalated: things all started very harmlessly, with Squid Girl finding out about the new terms starting. It’s hilarious that when left alone, Squid Girl just kept searching more an more trouble, in which she eventually ended up kidnapping the headmaster and forcing him to eat shrimps he’s allergic to. I also loved how Eiko at first thought that letting Squid Girl roam around the school would be harmless enough.
The third part was… pretty unique and charming, and really well animated. There is no dialogue, and instead of the regular set-up we see some dream-like sequence about Eiko picking up a really cute miniature Squid Girl. It’s great to see how much the creators were able to say here, without actually saying anything and made excellent use of the fact that it’s animation.
Rating: ** (Excellent)
There’s somthing about this show that really gets me. It is horendously funny but mainly I love it because I have just fallen for the characters. Now if only CrunchyRoll would stream the episodes a bit quicker!
The third part was exceedingly funny if only because of how silly it was
