Squid Girl's English script is a great example of remaining true to the original while letting the humor shine in a different language.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT One oddball classic slice-of-life anime is a masterpiece of good translation and localization. The English script of Squid Girl is remarkable for how well it balances remaining true to the humor of the original Japanese, while translating that humor both linguistically and culturally to land with an English-language audience.

Squid Girl's Translation Team Did a Stellar Job Luckily, Squid Girl is a shining example of how to localize anime well. Much of the series' humor comes from Squid Girl's everyday life on the surface, working at a waitress at a seaside restaurant as a very literal fish out of water. The humor of the premise is enhanced by the constant wordplay and puns from the characters that has been masterfully translated in the English version.
