Due to the pollution of the oceans, Squid Girl has come from the depths to subjugate humanity. However, at the initial invasion point, she accidentally destroys the Lemon Beach House. Unable to pay for the repairs, she ends up working in Lemon in recompense. Thus Squid Girl came to live with the Aizawa family, consisting of Chizuru, Eiko and Takeru.
In addition, she meets many different people such as: Nagatsuki Sanae, who likes Squid Girl; Saitou Nagisa, who is afraid of Squid Girl; Arashiyama Gorou, lifeguard and comrade in the quest to protect the sea; Cindy Campbell, who is convinced that Squid Girl is an alien; and Sakura Kiyomi, who has become Squid Girl's close friend.
With the situation as it is, will the invasion of the land ever proceed?

It's the same as season 1 but without the introduction of the characters. Watch it if you like the first season since it contains the same humor/comedy.

I thought it lost a little bit of entertainment factor when compared to the first season. Since we already know all about the abilities of Ika-chan by now, most of the episodes focus on the side characters. The anticipation and entertainment of watching the side characters react to her strange squid abilities is gone. Still entertaining, but I lost a lot of interest and I don't look forward to this show as much as I did weekly. Ultimately I paused each episode this season in the middle to watch the rest of the segments later in the week. I did this for just about every episode. So I lost a lot of interest in this series. Not so with S1.

More of the same, which is great, as season 1 was awesomely funny and cute. So if you liked that one, this season won't disappoint you.

Nothing changed from S1. No upgrade, no downgrade, same level of humour, story and characters during all episodes. Short episodes with funny content.

I was rushing watching the 1st season when I heared the news about 2nd season. And when I finished the 1st season and watched ep01 of the 2nd season,it's like a deja vu.
Basically yeah it's no different than 1st season. The humor still the same,which is great.
A must see for fans of humor anime.
And you don't have to watched the 1st season to enjoy this,but I guarantee you'll have more laugh/grin if you do watched the 1st season.
