Fall 2011 anime season is now live and the second episode of Ika Musume 2 has aired, but does it keep its expectations?.
Part 1
the episode starts with Ika going to school to try and get the kids to follow her, which she achieves and on the road to victory she is confronted by a group of kids playing soccer.
Ika decides to take part in a match to try and get those kids to follow her, the problem? Ika sucks at sports and get beaten down.
while there’s some funny moments during this part nothing memorable happened, the goalkeeper part was awesome but lasted about 5 seconds so yeah…
after the kids feel sorry for Ika they let her score a goal after which Ika regained her spirit.
after the match the teacher delivers a fatal blow and all kids leave Ika for a bag of ice cream.
Part 2
the girls at Lemon beach club notice that there’s little female customers and arrive at the conclusion that it could be because there’s no guys serving. to address this they dressed Nagisa like a guy.
the plan is a success and a lot of girls start going to the beach club, also Ika feels threatened because “Mr. Nagisa” is not afraid of her.
after that Ayumu arrives to help the beach club and to overrun her shyness. to help her Chizuru gives her some pointy knuckles and a maid outfit.
doing this both Nagisa and Ayumu realized that unless they overcome these challenges by themselves and not on “another” ones shoes it wont be real.![]()

Part 3
this was the best part of this episode, we find out that Ika can control how much she weights by using the bracelets in her arm, this is of course so she can control her strength and also use her tentacles better.
at one point they find out she can be as light as 50 grams making her so light that a fan blowed her around.
using that idea Takeru tells Ika to try flying , deciding to conquer air, earth and sea she jumped from the roof and used her tentacles to fly!
everything was going great but the a bird snatches her away, why she didn’t make herself weight more so the bird could drop her is beyond my intelligence
anyway Ika returns all beaten up to the Beach house next day and Chizuru which is jealous of Ika’s bracelet tries to take it of making Ika Weight 20,000 Kg and fall to the bottom of the earth.![]()
poor Ika-Chan.
anyway this episode had its moments but I expected better things, I hope the next episode will be better.
