Squid Girl/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Shinryaku! Ika Musume{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' is a light-hearted comedy with seven-minute stories. Then there's the last story in episode 5, "Won't You Keep It?". You know it's going to end on a sad note, but the twist -- such a simple twist -- makes it so much sadder. (It's only seven minutes long, and this troper cried for much more than seven minutes afterwards.)

* Ika and friends head to the amusement park that Eiko's family used to spend happy days at when they were little.... to find that the economic downturn chipped it into a single teacup ride in the middle of a small city block, with a single elderly employee handling all the duties of the park. ... and they just happen to head there on the park's ''final day'' before it officially closes! [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Heartwarming|Eiko promises the employee that they shall spend the ''whole day'' there to send it off with pride!]] This sequence will be very emotional to those in similar situations. {{spoiler|And then there's the [[Happy Flashback]] Eiko has of her parents, which causes her to start crying.}}
