I concur. "Ika Musume" was the most adorably funny show last year. I can't wait for the new episodes Anime smile

... And so the cephalopods renew their campaign to conquer the humans.

With cuteness.

This is indeed great news I really enjoyed the first season.
@darkchibi
That reminds me of what Ken put on his final Jepopardy answer this week when they got demolished by watson.

Yes! This is fantastic news. I loved the first season. I hope this second season is just as funny and clever.

I approve of this! I Guess the DVD/Blu-Ray sales have been doing well enough for it to get a second season! Razz

Like many memes, that one originated from The Simpsons.

Anyway, getting more of Ika-chan is pretty good. I still need to get through the first season.

Hooray! More de geso goodness! Hopefully they'll keep all the charm that the first season had.

Yay, more terrible squid puns.

Seriously, am I the only person who thought the first season was wildly overrated?

Yes, you apparently did not get the memo.

While I didn't think it was overrated, I did think the puns weren't all that funny and were over done within several episodes.

Not sure what demographic this show caters in Japan, but it must be popular enough to warrant another season. That or this was already planned during the first season.

But I see where your coming from though Splitter.

The squid-isms never got on my nerves for some reason, and I found each episode had something that got me to laugh out loud at as well as some being touching. I was really hoping that this was going to get a second season, after finding out that TWGOK got one I was going to be very upset if it didn't (because I don't know if I'm the only one but I was severely underwhelmed with that one.)

This Show needed a second season due to it's humor! Glad to see the Green light on this one!

Very Squid like!
