Foolish land-born air breathers! Behold the terror from the depths, the tentacled conqueror of humanity: Squid Girl! With your pollution and stuff you really deserve it, so prepare for menacing, inky doom!
Squid Girl has come from the depths of the sea to conquer humanity for its pollution of the ocean. Within moments of arriving on the surface world, our easily distracted, little invertebrate is promptly bullied into working for the Aizawa sisters as a waitress, supplying their restaurant with squid ink. If poor Squid Girl can't handle two pushy Japanese girls, how will she ever subjugate the human race?

Editor's Review
“The Squid Girl” is a delightful anime series that combines elements of comedy and slice-of-life genres. The series aired from October 5, 2010, to December 21, 2010, and consists of 12 episodes.
The story revolves around a squid girl named Ika Musume who emerges from the sea to punish humanity for polluting the ocean. However, her plans for world domination are put on hold when she accidentally damages a beach house and is forced to work there to pay for the repairs.
One of the standout aspects of “The Squid Girl” is its humor. The series takes full advantage of its absurd premise and delivers plenty of laughs through its quirky characters and their interactions. The humor is light-hearted and often relies on the contrast between Ika Musume’s ambitious plans and her actual capabilities.
The animation quality of “The Squid Girl” is commendable, with a vibrant color palette and a charming chibi art style. The character designs are distinctive and appealing, and the animation is smooth and dynamic.
However, “The Squid Girl” is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find the episodic format of the series, with each episode split into three independent stories, a bit disjointed. The character development is also somewhat lacking, with most of the characters remaining largely static throughout the series.
Despite these shortcomings, “The Squid Girl” remains an enjoyable watch. The series does a great job of balancing its comedic elements with moments of genuine emotion. The relationship between Ika Musume and the Aizawa sisters, who run the beach house, is particularly heartwarming and adds depth to the series.
In conclusion, “The Squid Girl” is a fun and entertaining series that offers a unique take on the slice-of-life genre. While it may not offer a deep plot or complex character development, it more than makes up for it with its humor, charm, and endearing characters. If you’re looking for a light-hearted anime with a unique premise and plenty of laughs, “The Squid Girl” is definitely worth a watch.
