Episode 007: Shinryaku! Ika Musume (Squid Girl)
Listen now
Description
For centuries, mankind has polluted and destroyed the ocean. In Shinryaku! Ika Musume, one squid girl has had enough, but after her failed one-squid invasion on the surface world, she finds herself working as an indentured servant for a seaside grill. Join us as we revel in some truly awful squid puns, argue the merits of the experimental Chibi Ika scene, and make plans for a very special segment that will end with one of us in anaphylactic shock. And in the inferior world of non-moe anime, we discuss: Asylum Session, a dreary cyberpunk movie that is dragged from mediocre down to terrible by its horrendous 3D animation, and Skull-Faced Bookseller Honda-san, an adaptation of a quirky, autobiographical manga about a bookseller with a skull for a face. We'd love to hear from our listeners! If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future episodes, please email us at [email protected]
