Sentai Filmworks is getting ready to bring out the first season of Squid Girl next month and ahead of that they’ve got the first dub clip for it now out. The show is one that’s definitely a lot of fun with its over the top nature in how the title character works and this gives us a very good feeling for it.
The Japanese cast includes Ayumi Fujimura as Eiko Aizawa, Hisako Kanemoto as Ika Musume, and Rie Tanaka as Chizuru Aizawa while the English cast includes Christine Marie Cabanos as Squid Girl, Heather Pennington as Eiko Aizawa, and Shelby Lindley as Chizuru Aizawa.
The original manga series by Masahiro Anbe was serialized in Akita Shoten‘s Weekly Shōnen Champion for nearly a decade from 2007 to 2016. Tsutomu Mizushima (Girls und Panzer, SHIROBAKO) directed the animated series, with series composition by Michiko Yokote (RIN-NE, SHIROBAKO). Animation production was handled by diomedéa (Gingitsune).
Plot Concept: The cutest little tentacle-haired invader from the sea, Squid Girl, has come to subdue humanity! Unfortunately, she’s in hot water with the Aizawa siblings after a demonstration of her squid powers destroys their restaurant, the Lemon Beach House. Now, she’s forced to work as a waitress for them until she pays off her damages. Between her aquatic puns, bickering with the Aizawa sisters, tiffs with customers, and the many misadventures that come with seaside life, Squid Girl has her hands, and her tentacles, full!
