Both suck.  Crunchyroll just sucks more in this case.

Yes, I know this show is meant for kids, and Crunchyroll is making an aggressive attempt to preserve every stupid squid joke. The problem is that their audience is considerably older than the Japanese audience, so preserving the stupid jokes is far less important.  Unfortunately they're much better at actually understanding what's going on and I get the feeling that if they weren't trying to push the awful puns their product would be a hell of a lot better than the fansub.
Your attitude sounds quite awful lot about "I only watch mature anime for mature people such as myself" or "at least the subs should be mature for mature people such as myself".

Personally I like the squidification. I had some worries that it might get old after one episode, but it definitely worked in the second episode as well. Completely ignoring it just sounds like the result of a translator/editor being too lazy to even try working on it to me.

Now now, no need to argue, if you don't like the show, don't come on here, if you don't like subs, just be polite about it, if you don't like a genre, don't post in threads that has it, etc etc.

Just watched the 3rd episode and it was awesome... as always. xD

About the subs, I like the squidification better than the total abstinence subs. It adds extra flair to her character.

In my opinion the "squidification" sets this show apart from all the other comedies I've seen.  Also I love the squid hat.

De-geso-nee xD

Ika musume is just a perfect example of an moe character. I absolutely love her :3
In fact I'm going to the imouto/onee thread right now and change my imouto into her. If my sister remotely had a personality like her I wouldn't have to hate her that much.

Hmm, having Ika Musume as a younger sister wouldn't be bad at all :3

She sure is cute, I will give you that.
I think living in the same house with her might get aggravating over time tho.

She would be better as a cousin or something =P

You see, but then I'd feel like a complete douche-tastic asshole if I put her in a cage x.x

I actually don't really know what a troll is.  But according to this definition I found on the internet, i don't want to be a troll.

^ I think it is posting just for the sake of posting.

I would become one of her minions, it would be fun and you just know she will never actually get anywhere so there is no danger apart from being moe'd to death.

So you guys all really like this show?  I just can't get into it.

I don't know if it's because the humor is kind of childish or because the beach environment is so boring.

Plus all their jokes have to relate to the sea...the "hook" of this show just didn't land with me.  (ho ho, pun, ahoy!)

Nope, you are not a troll. You dont try to still controversy.
What you are is a post padder. You make countless posts with little to no depth and you do it ALOT.
You derail threads and get into arguments with Pingry on a regular basis.

The only conclusions I have been able to draw is that either you are actively trying to boost your post count or you just have no respect for the forums. (likely both)
Its one of the two and neither are favorably viewed.
Sorry folks for that rant.

On topic- I'm not a perv or anything, but she looked cute in that bathing suit. amirite?
Also, I am interested in how that new employee will adjust to being near our little squid girl every day.

Ika needs some moral support, no? ;)
