Squid Girl, one of my favorite shows. Glad they dubbed the second season and made it available.

It must be jarring to suddenly have a cast change between seasons.

Same here, much appreciated! Although jarring, I get used to a change given time re-watching things and the likes. Might have favorites here and there, but just happy to have that. |

Squid Girl is so fun. Hisako Kanemoto is just perfect in it. I love her in all her roles but nothing will ever compare to that perfection.

Certainly a review in which you don't want to misread "tentacles."

I see "The Critic" on the shelf. This is obviously a person with good taste.

I don't mind the cast change as long as the main character returned which thankfully happened, she's the only one that really matters to me.

I'm currently rewatching Squid Girl, this time the dub through HiDive. It definitely holds up to repeat watching. I'm a little concerned about coming into season two with the new actors. Unlike most people who probably watched the first season over a few bulk viewings, maybe a few days if not marathoned all at once, I'm spending 12 weeks with these voices, I'm a little attached to them.

I'm very very surprised Naisho no Tsubomi got licensed, considering how niche it is (a sex ed video for elementary schoolers).

It did help that there was enough time between when I watched season one and two that Squid Girl was the only voice that I remembered. |

Hey, it happens! The first season was licensed by Media Blasters (based in NYC) and they probably worked with NY actors. It just isn't feasible to recruit the entire cast to do a second season after Section 23/Sentai licensed the series when MB passed on it. Section 23/Sentai is based in Houston and they work with their own home-based stable of actors. That's just the way it works and it's generally not worth it for the actors based elsewhere to fly into Texas to do dub work unless the licensing company makes it worth their while. Anime dubs don't pay that well! Squid Girl just didn't do well enough for MB to continue with it and for a while the Blu ray of Season One (the MB original release) of the show was ridiculously expensive! I'm glad I waited to pick it up after Sentai licensed it. Glad I also skipped on the LE edition! I was interested in the series and thought it looked cute but it wasn't THAT cute where my wallet was concerned! |

Ah, I need to rewatch Squid Girl. FYI CR has the OVAs but not the mini-squid girl shorts.
The mini-squid girl moments during the regular episodes are especially moe. Took me a while to find this part, but S1 ep 5 last segment with mini-Ika and Eiko was especially melancholic and unexpectedly sad. |

I'd be most interested to know how they dubbed the season 2 episode where the American blonde gives English lessons.

Try multiple times in the same show sometime. Ranma 1/2's dub has at least 3 actresses for female Ranma and two for male. That sort of thing used to happen all the time. It's a wonder they tried to get any of the same cast back, let alone the main character. They deserve some major kudos for finishing out the dub at all. Good job, guys! |
