Squid Girl rises from the deep Blu(-ray)!
Squid Girl is a series about, well... a girl who's a squid who comes to invade the surface world, as retribution for polluting the oceans, in order to conquer humanity. Except, she encounters many problems while trying to accomplish her goal. The series as a whole is very entertaining with great comedy; the script is filled with ocean puns, and the characters are easy to like, with each having their own quirks. It's hard to not like Squid Girl herself as she's genuinely naive to the world around her, and often gets picked on by the humans she encounters.
As with the DVDs there is both English and Japanese audio available with English subtitles for the script or songs/signs. Both the English and Japanese voice acting performances are enjoyable, and really well done. I find watching it in either language to be just as comedic and entertaining. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy series, then you won't be disappointed with Squid Girl.
What makes this release...
Squid Girl Invades Blu-Ray!
What happens when you cross "Sgt. Frog" with "Invader Zim"? You get a whole lot of SQUID! If you're looking for a good comedy series that will always put a smile on your face, then look no further. "Squid Girl" is about a half-girl/half-squid who's come up to the surface land to enslave the humans who have been polluting her ocean. The only problem is that she easily gets side-tracked from her mission and ends up getting bullied into working at a beach house restaurant.
I'm not an expert in the technical aspects of video and audio on home video discs; however, the picture quality of the Blu-Ray looks great, and the sound quality sounds fine as well.
In short, if you're a fan of comedy anime shows, be sure to give this squid a little love.
Great fun - and no squidding!
This is a really good series; cute, funny, full of puns (like 'scared the kelp out of me', 'shut your beak', 'inkredible!', 'I'm just jetting off', 'what the squid??' etc.!).
All the characters are great in their own way, from the quietly scary big sis Chizuru Aizawa, through younger sister, the pushy, red-headed Eiko, who run the 'Beach House 'Lemon'' seaside restaurant, and their little brother Takeru, who adores Squid Girl, and calls her 'Squid Girly' in the English dub (Ika Nee-chan, lit. 'Big Squid Sister' in the Japanese); he thinks of her as a big sister and playmate. Squid Girl herself is bonkers; she was sent to the surface world to conquer humanity for polluting the oceans, but has not exactly researched her invasion; she thinks there are only about 1,000 people in the world! She never thinks anything through, has the attention span of a goldfish (or maybe a squid?), is scared of plastic killer-whale buoyancy toys, and eats like a horse (but not a sea-horse!); in...
