I'm surprised that in the Squid-Girl series they never addressed her as a "Squidiot", it would have been the prefect insult for her when she did something stupid.

4:25 The pun thing makes sense given anime's obsession with puns. The dub only exacerbates this through native understanding that normally is lost from having a language barrier. Also there was no mention how Squid Girl has become the unofficial mascot of Arch Linux
Ok I love squid girl It somehow made me cry You know the episodes where Squiddie is tiny and one of the girls pets and it goes through her life from Childhood to death, Yea that made me cry
@@ranting2damax God sends a psychopatic 14 year old Angel to Oof a 14 year old boy who invents a thing that stop women from maturing... It's a Comedy/Ecchi with a lot of G0re and V1olence, mainly by the poor boy who gets mauled to pieces by the Psycho Angel... Yes... i can recall some parts of this Fever Dream of a Anime...
4:20 Completely conch-shell-dental, but learning that there was a character that did sea puns is happening at the perfect moment of my life. Shrimp-ly incredible
This is embarrassing, but I've been subscribed for months, and this whole time I never realized you were a sea slug until you mentioned it. I totally thought you were supposed to be a honey monster lol
I actually meet the actress for the English dub of squid girl who also plays madoka from Puella magi Madoka magia at a gamer and anime convention in Connecticut. She is very nice and signed my trading card of her character.
@@GardenAsada If you'd like to find clips of it try "Ant and Dec Splatoon" or "SMTV live Splatoon". This anime looks like fun, gunna have to try finding it to watch.
I remember Squid Girl from when I first saw it in 2011, that Anime was so wholesome it was one of the first Anime series I showed to my niece and nephew at the time as well as early Pokemon episodes that they really enjoyed.
I remember witnessing this anime back when a few years after it came out but never got to watch it until 2021 and I recently revisited it just weeks ago following the breakup of me and my best friend and it made me cry a lot because this anime shows a lot of slice of life in it especially with friendships
Honestly I love squid girl since I've loved the anime and how funny the series was. It was definitely something I enjoyed mostly why I enjoy beaches at times.
I miss Squid Girl. It was super fun, it left me wanting more! (Except Sanae, disliked her so much as well) The crossover with Splatoon was the best thing to happen to the game and it's a bit of a shame that they could never bring it back. 3:52 uh oh, are we in danger?
My first anime that wasn't Pokemon I have to give to Lucky Star, though Squid Girl was within my first 10 having watched it at my late grandfather's house during summer break in either 2014 or 2015 along with Angel Beats and Chobits (which I didn't finish probably because I somewhat easily flustered back then). As for the Splatoon collab, I WISH they would bring back the outfit, even if Squid Girl is as relevant today as Madagascar on the Gamecube. Edit: Forgot to mention I think I only saw season 1 back then. Thanks Netflix.
FINALLY! ive loved squid girl ever since i first saw it a few years ago, i like the show way more in sub just because i like all anime that way, but im glad she is getting some well deserved recognition.
Ok I get the mean spirited thing.....but Squid Girl actively shows she really hasn't given up on her "take over the surface world" mentality even after getting put in her place during the first episode,she takes even the slightest advantages over the others as a reason to start the shit again lol So it's not like its unwarranted
ika musume is really my goat fr. the splat collab was soooo crazy. i need her outfit to come back somehow. this was the first anime i watched to completion. so so good. watched s1 in dub n s2 was sub only. op a banger. so peak
@@GardenAsada oh ok, it's just I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar in a few of your other vids before. Thought it was spooky lore or something that we were gonna find out at a later date lol
In japanese dub, she always end her sentences with "- de geso." (Geso means squid) Or "Na-Ika/jana-Ika." (Ika also mean squid) For question or negative sentences. So yeah, make sense that they inserted sealife puns in english dubs
Aww, I love this series so much, I even love Sanae, in a weird kind of way. XD She gets so much black comedy abuse that it's hard to tell if you should laugh at her or pity her, and I think at times, she DOES have standards and shows herself to be a good person, or at the very least, not evil. :p One time she was actually one of the reasons Squid Girl and her family got saved by a robber in the manga, but also because... she had secret cameras installed in their house, LOL. XD Lesser Evil? :? Idk. :p Squid Girl also got sick in an infirmary, and I think there was like potential horror of Sanae being able to take advantage, but I think she didn't. :p Sanae is a yandere that's lovable in a way because she's more like just kind of pathetic... you got to wonder if it's even possible for her to get a partner or not if she wasn't a yandere or even went for somebody else. :p To be honest, Cindy and the Scientists are ones I find weird and annoying at times, but I guess their needed too. :p One time, Squid Girl got stranded on an online and got "saved" by them when they wanted to dissect her as an alien or something, but she weirded them out by missing them to death and hugging them so they changed their mind. :p It's lovable stuff like this that makes me not even truly hate a single thing at the moment, it's the perfect Slice of Life. :p Every problematic character has a heart of gold. :?
If you want a good manga chapter without spoilers, read Chapter 300. XD (Also, I don't know if it's manga only, but the series DOES sort of take itself seriously for real, more or less, with an Octopus Girl Squid Girl talks to sometimes as a means of character development in getting closer to humans, and confessing her feelings for them as a tsundere. :p I think she also sees the good in Sanae but would never say it to her face! XD See, Sanae can be good. :p)
I was about 10 or 11 when the outfit got added to Splatoon, and I must not have been very smart at the time, because I somehow assumed Squid Girl was a whole splatoon anime. Ended up watching the first couple of segments dubbed off of youtube before realizing it wasn't actually splatoon, and then lost interest in it after that lol. Not sure I would've been a big fan if I had continued watching it but it does seem like a fun cute little thing
If a free dollar appeared every single time I looked at a RUclips video with someone I could feel gender envy for, my family would be rich enough to get their own house.
Man I love this show it had a very good plot and great characters but funny thing is I’m not the biggest fan of splatoon I tried it and it’s not a bad game but just not for me
Sanae is what alot of big fans of ika-chan would potentially do. She is way higher in my ranking than Nagisa. Also suprised you didn't mention any of the lewd stuff.
Looking at your Western Animation interests, I think you should give Spy Family a watch as it might appeal to you if you enjoyed Squid Girl when you were in your "Anime phase". To me, you either gravitate towards it or you don't and Anime is a large medium with many different genres for different age groups, not all can be for everyone so that is what you need to keep in mind.
I'm surprised that in the Squid-Girl series they never addressed her as a "Squidiot", it would have been the prefect insult for her when she did something stupid.
I'm surprised myself now that you said that. Squidiot is kinda perfect for this show
@@GardenAsada hey i'm still learning >:c
I just noticed the logo is even similar to the respawn… bowls? Are they bowls? What are they…
I believe they're like kettles? Not sure myself honestly? Either way you make a good point and I never noticed that😂
yeah i thought its the landing notification that appears when you super jump but that works too!
Coffee machine, I think.
The 2nd and third game turned them into expresso machines.
dementia 😔
i would pay for a $30 dlc thats just a squid girl outfit in splatoon 3
I'd be attempted for the laughs but even better a whole dlc! Unrealistic, sure, but that's what dreams are for!
Don't give them any ideas
Something that they had available for no extra cost in S1?
Well it was free event
@@TheDragonfriday And was still obtainable for free in S1 right up until the point the online service shut down (since you could order copies of other people's gear).
Squid girl outfit please Nintendo! One of the best crossovers you ever did!
glad you're aware of the Squid Girl outfit from Splatoon 1.
bring back squid girl in splatoon 3 please jintendo
Add a black outfit for the other mini Squid Girl.
@@NintendoSegaGuysagree
fun fact: squid girls’ dub va is amite from puyo puyo, mako from kill la kill and the poplins from super mario wonder!!!
Very cool!
Neeto!
She’s also Madoka from Puella magi Madoka Magica
A wholesome show about magical girls filled with wonderful love stories
Frienship and trials defeated by the power of friendship! ☺️✨
Don't forget she's also Filia from Skullgirls haha

Ok I love squid girl
It somehow made me cry
You know the episodes where Squiddie is tiny and one of the girls pets and it goes through her life from Childhood to death, Yea that made me cry
Fun Fact: Squid Girl anime is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima, who also directed the infamous anime, Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
Oh God....
can someone please explain what that so that I don’t look it up and possibly traumatize myself..? better safe than sorry.

Its always nice to see people talk about this show regardless of how they think about it, your avatar looks very cute I dig the colors
Thanks! 🤗

Squid girl was my first anime too! I had only ever heard of shonens before, once i knew there were comedies too i was way more interested 😂
Comedy superiority
Happy 10k subs garden! The redesigned slug is looking good.
Thanks!
@@GardenAsada why is he melting tho
This is embarrassing, but I've been subscribed for months, and this whole time I never realized you were a sea slug until you mentioned it. I totally thought you were supposed to be a honey monster lol
That's okay as well, because it's funny 😂

That's amazing! I've heard she's super nice😆
Oh my gosh. I loved this anime. It was so good. Squid girl was so freaking cute and it’s hilarious to see how much of a gremlin she is lol
Garden upload days are the best days
Fun fact, there was a game called Splatoon before Nintendo's too... Though it was a Saturday morning TV phone in game, not a videogame, but still.
Oh! Very fun fact!
@@GardenAsada
If you'd like to find clips of it try "Ant and Dec Splatoon" or "SMTV live Splatoon".
This anime looks like fun, gunna have to try finding it to watch.
I think Nintendo took inspiration from The Squid Girl to create Splatoon lol
Perhaps a little at least😂
I love this series. It got me though some rough times with a place to just laugh 😊
Thank you for committing to the review!
i love both splatoon and squid girl it's awesome lol.
I remember Squid Girl from when I first saw it in 2011, that Anime was so wholesome it was one of the first Anime series I showed to my niece and nephew at the time as well as early Pokemon episodes that they really enjoyed.
Ah yes, an anime I still cherish.
I remember witnessing this anime back when a few years after it came out but never got to watch it until 2021 and I recently revisited it just weeks ago following the breakup of me and my best friend and it made me cry a lot because this anime shows a lot of slice of life in it especially with friendships
She was a big part of my childhood
FINALLY! SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT HER! I have a special attachment to squid girl because is was my first anime along side Sargent frog, good times
Cindy and the 3 Stooges are perhaps best watched in Japanese Dub English Subtitles.
Their Engrish is hilariously funny.
Honestly I love squid girl since I've loved the anime and how funny the series was. It was definitely something I enjoyed mostly why I enjoy beaches at times.
I watched squid girl SO LONG AGO damn, fresh nostalgia rushing back to me with this vid
Man I used to watch this when I was five or six. and man seeing this again brings back memories
Omg I watched this as a kid and have been looking for it forever because it was really weird thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I remember mini squid girl I think that episode made me cry or something 😭
Omg yeah it definitely made me cry I forgot about the hospital bed 😭
And it still is really weird; squid girl is something else🤣
I miss Squid Girl. It was super fun, it left me wanting more! (Except Sanae, disliked her so much as well)
The crossover with Splatoon was the best thing to happen to the game and it's a bit of a shame that they could never bring it back.
3:52 uh oh, are we in danger?

Edit: Forgot to mention I think I only saw season 1 back then. Thanks Netflix.
Squid Girl is one of those anime's that deserves a third season.
Congratulations on getting 10k subscribers
I don't know what your problem with those puns is, those were INKredible.
I said they were charming😆
FINALLY! ive loved squid girl ever since i first saw it a few years ago, i like the show way more in sub just because i like all anime that way, but im glad she is getting some well deserved recognition.
She’s literally my childhood….🩵🩵🩵🩵🥹
When I was young I watched this all the time
Ok I get the mean spirited thing.....but Squid Girl actively shows she really hasn't given up on her "take over the surface world" mentality even after getting put in her place during the first episode,she takes even the slightest advantages over the others as a reason to start the shit again lol
So it's not like its unwarranted
Yeah, I mean, fair enough.
1:05 ADVENTURE TIME
GEN Z NOSTALGIA
It's a classic
I used to watch this show but in secret so nobody would judge me that was years ago i forgot about it until now
IKA MUSUME!
Okay, I made it finally, let’s see what-
3:52
…oookay. Anyway, this… I wonder if this is still watchable today. This looks fun to watch!
Ok. who knows splatoon 3 has a volume of manga now?
I'll make a video on the Splatoon mangas one day. They're insane.
I didn't know Splatoon 3 did!?
ika musume is really my goat fr. the splat collab was soooo crazy. i need her outfit to come back somehow. this was the first anime i watched to completion. so so good. watched s1 in dub n s2 was sub only. op a banger. so peak
Ah yes, this is the anime that i already have seen this
The author is a really cool guy
Squid girl was my first anime too😢
3:51 uh… wait what was that?
I am unable to forget, my sister is boarder line obsessed with Squidgirl
I just watched more of the video, how much for a video on every episode???
I don't think RUclips let me, but maybe one day I'll try an episode ranking video.
why is this person face doing a frame of a black and whit blob at 3:52
I feel old just hearing someone refer to ika musume as old
I feel this a lot nowadays even if it's realistically not THAT old.
Fun fact, you could get squid girl's clothig in Splatoon 1.
16:15 Can’t believe Takaru has the same VA as Jo from Kid Cosmic.
Lore of The Original Squid Kid - The Squid Girl momentum 100
around 3:52 a wierd flicker happes with ur avatar, was that intentional?? also great video!
Funny how my first anime was a similar anime called ponyo (topic wise) and i aswell watched it around 2010
Love how you use Christine's Phoenix Fan Fusion Collage.
3:52 hey whats with the black stuff on your face?
Visual glitch?
@@GardenAsada oh ok, it's just I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar in a few of your other vids before. Thought it was spooky lore or something that we were gonna find out at a later date lol
Hmmm... maybe i should re-watch squid girl...
It's a good time! Super weird show though😂
Squid girl my goat
This video is insanely quiet. I usually sit around 20/30 PC volume but for this I had to crank it up to 60/70.
holy shit, i remember watching this when i was a kid too! i forgot its name tho.
Welp, glad to jog your memory!
@@GardenAsada thank you!
@@GardenAsada thank you
I wonder if Garden Asada knows...
Men squid girl was legendary the opening song was banger
@Keksi oh boy oh boy
Why are so many comments saying it was their first anime? I remember it just being another that... oh god, I looked up when it came out!
4:30 Well splatoon aint keeping IT Low with the puns either
I never said it was a bad thing 😆 puns rock if done right.
0:02 you killed a fictional character in Gmod with an Anti-tank weapon
As one does in Gmod.
@@GardenAsada yep
In japanese dub, she always end her sentences with "- de geso." (Geso means squid) Or "Na-Ika/jana-Ika." (Ika also mean squid) For question or negative sentences. So yeah, make sense that they inserted sealife puns in english dubs
Yeah I should've mentioned that because it was something I was aware of; the dubbing team definitely had their fun with that😂
I'd forgotten about this
3:52... is nobody gonna be talking about that 💀
Bro, if you slow it down it’s literally a black void with eyes over their face. Wth?
In another comment they said it was unintentional, weird
Aww, I love this series so much, I even love Sanae, in a weird kind of way. XD She gets so much black comedy abuse that it's hard to tell if you should laugh at her or pity her, and I think at times, she DOES have standards and shows herself to be a good person, or at the very least, not evil. :p

Pretty cool review i'll say, Also Redesigned nudibranch, Nice!
I LOVE Squid Girl.
Its funny cause I vaguely remember the anime from when I was a kid
3:51 bro went "IMA DO THE SAME"
I was about 10 or 11 when the outfit got added to Splatoon, and I must not have been very smart at the time, because I somehow assumed Squid Girl was a whole splatoon anime. Ended up watching the first couple of segments dubbed off of youtube before realizing it wasn't actually splatoon, and then lost interest in it after that lol. Not sure I would've been a big fan if I had continued watching it but it does seem like a fun cute little thing
It has problems... Lots of them, but it's a fun time. I saw Squid Girl before Splatoon so I had the opposite type of bias if anything😂
3:52 What is that...?
what up with japans obssesion with anything that has tenticals ?
also congrats on the 5 digit subs, you really rock
Thanks! Also no idea lol
Honestly this series is also very similar to the series Keroro Gunsou/Sgt. Frog.
neat

Completely valid, Splatoon is a weird one.
Sanae is what alot of big fans of ika-chan would potentially do. She is way higher in my ranking than Nagisa.
Also suprised you didn't mention any of the lewd stuff.
lol Squid Girl feeling insecure about Splatoon. 😂
why is the video volume so low
Because I need a new mic 🥲
@@GardenAsada but your other videos were at a more normal volume, I more meant the entire video sounded quiet..
Oh that might've just been my crummy editing skills. I edited most this videos at a friend's house on a laptop🥲
Looking at your Western Animation interests, I think you should give Spy Family a watch as it might appeal to you if you enjoyed Squid Girl when you were in your "Anime phase".
To me, you either gravitate towards it or you don't and Anime is a large medium with many different genres for different age groups, not all can be for everyone so that is what you need to keep in mind.
this video is so abysmally quiet
I saw that!
pls get a louder mic
I plan to get a much better mic soon hopefully! I usually manually raise the volume but it just makes it sound weird 🥲
"Splatoon", "Shinryaku! Ika Musume" and "Sushi Pack" should actually be crossed over in a major way, like a manga or anime, or a fanfiction...
I love squid girl, I've seen the whole anime and read the whole manga!
Oh nice!
