The Original Squid Kid - The Squid Girl

[@annonymousannonymous9586]

I'm surprised that in the Squid-Girl series they never addressed her as a "Squidiot", it would have been the prefect insult for her when she did something stupid.

[@GardenAsada]

I'm surprised myself now that you said that. Squidiot is kinda perfect for this show

[@pichuisrad2253]

i would pay for a $30 dlc thats just a squid girl outfit in splatoon 3

[@GardenAsada]

I'd be attempted for the laughs but even better a whole dlc! Unrealistic, sure, but that's what dreams are for!

4:25 The pun thing makes sense given anime's obsession with puns. The dub only exacerbates this through native understanding that normally is lost from having a language barrier. Also there was no mention how Squid Girl has become the unofficial mascot of Arch Linux

I actually meet the actress for the English dub of squid girl who also plays madoka from Puella magi Madoka magia at a gamer and anime convention in Connecticut. She is very nice and signed my trading card of her character.

[@RF-Ataraxia]

I miss Squid Girl. It was super fun, it left me wanting more! (Except Sanae, disliked her so much as well) The crossover with Splatoon was the best thing to happen to the game and it's a bit of a shame that they could never bring it back. 3:52 uh oh, are we in danger?

I remember Squid Girl from when I first saw it in 2011, that Anime was so wholesome it was one of the first Anime series I showed to my niece and nephew at the time as well as early Pokemon episodes that they really enjoyed.

[@Devonthe12thmoon]

I love this series. It got me though some rough times with a place to just laugh 😊

[@mwelite1706]

Ah yes, an anime I still cherish.

[@Gaiacrusher9fan2]

My first anime that wasn't Pokemon I have to give to Lucky Star, though Squid Girl was within my first 10 having watched it at my late grandfather's house during summer break in either 2014 or 2015 along with Angel Beats and Chobits (which I didn't finish probably because I somewhat easily flustered back then). As for the Splatoon collab, I WISH they would bring back the outfit, even if Squid Girl is as relevant today as Madagascar on the Gamecube. Edit: Forgot to mention I think I only saw season 1 back then. Thanks Netflix.

Ok I get the mean spirited thing.....but Squid Girl actively shows she really hasn't given up on her "take over the surface world" mentality even after getting put in her place during the first episode,she takes even the slightest advantages over the others as a reason to start the shit again lol So it's not like its unwarranted

[@GardenAsada]

Yeah, I mean, fair enough.

In japanese dub, she always end her sentences with "- de geso." (Geso means squid) Or "Na-Ika/jana-Ika." (Ika also mean squid) For question or negative sentences. So yeah, make sense that they inserted sealife puns in english dubs

Squid girl was my first anime too😢

[@abra_escaped]

I was about 10 or 11 when the outfit got added to Splatoon, and I must not have been very smart at the time, because I somehow assumed Squid Girl was a whole splatoon anime. Ended up watching the first couple of segments dubbed off of youtube before realizing it wasn't actually splatoon, and then lost interest in it after that lol. Not sure I would've been a big fan if I had continued watching it but it does seem like a fun cute little thing

[@GardenAsada]

It has problems... Lots of them, but it's a fun time. I saw Squid Girl before Splatoon so I had the opposite type of bias if anything😂

If you want a good manga chapter without spoilers, read Chapter 300. XD (Also, I don't know if it's manga only, but the series DOES sort of take itself seriously for real, more or less, with an Octopus Girl Squid Girl talks to sometimes as a means of character development in getting closer to humans, and confessing her feelings for them as a tsundere. :p I think she also sees the good in Sanae but would never say it to her face!

Aww, I love this series so much, I even love Sanae, in a weird kind of way. XD She gets so much black comedy abuse that it's hard to tell if you should laugh at her or pity her, and I think at times, she DOES have standards and shows herself to be a good person, or at the very least, not evil. :p One time she was actually one of the reasons Squid Girl and her family got saved by a robber in the manga, but also because... she had secret cameras installed in their house, LOL. XD Lesser Evil? :? Idk. :p Squid Girl also got sick in an infirmary, and I think there was like potential horror of Sanae being able to take advantage, but I think she didn't. :p Sanae is a yandere that's lovable in a way because she's more like just kind of pathetic... you got to wonder if it's even possible for her to get a partner or not if she wasn't a yandere or even went for somebody else. :p To be honest, Cindy and the Scientists are ones I find weird and annoying at times, but I guess their needed too. :p One time, Squid Girl got stranded on an online and got "saved" by them when they wanted to dissect her as an alien or something, but she weirded them out by missing them to death and hugging them so they changed their mind. :p It's lovable stuff like this that makes me not even truly hate a single thing at the moment, it's the perfect Slice of Life. :p Every problematic character has a heart of gold. :?

Looking at your Western Animation interests, I think you should give Spy Family a watch as it might appeal to you if you enjoyed Squid Girl when you were in your "Anime phase". To me, you either gravitate towards it or you don't and Anime is a large medium with many different genres for different age groups, not all can be for everyone so that is what you need to keep in mind.
