In this episode Shinku learns the truth about the being able to return home. And immediately ignores it. Overall a nice cute episode as we’re only one step away from [...]

Now that the twelfth episode of Dog Days has aired, all that remains is the finale to air next week.  There will be two distinct outcomes, either Shinku stays with everyone in Flonyard or returns home with the possibility of never returning.  So, can we tell what the outcome will be from foreshadowing in this [...]

Not much happened in this episode, it was mostly Shinku going around to spend a few last moments with everyone. I still enjoyed the episode though, since they interspersed all the goodbyes with random stupid crap like petting, teaching tricks … Continue reading →

    These animal people let anybody touch their ears. Impressions: Well, that was lame. Another episode of absolutely nothing going on. Rico was just crying in a corner last week about Shinku leaving foreeeeever without remeeeeeeeembering things. Ha. Give me a break, Seven Arcs. And once that’s dealt with, it’s just putzing around doing random [...]

Summary: The grounds disintegrating quickly, but fortunately Harlan shows up (with a clothed Ricotta) and gives Eclair and everyone else a ride back.  Meanwhile, the sword is still live, but Yukikaze and Brioche easily one-shot it for their 510th sealing.  It’s not big deal, and Leonmitchelli conveniently ends the war under the pretense of needing [...]

O RLY? I am a huge fan of insert songs, but it still wasn't enough to even come close to redeeming this anime. I haven't seen such a badly-done ending in quite some time. It is one thing to fall back on crappy cliches with the ending, but when they fail to hold any sort of tension within the viewers, they have failed in creating a climax. It was obvious from their introduction that these two

The end of the demon sword was anti-climatic even by this show’s standards. It separates from the host like it’s going to be the final final boss form, causes an earthquake, and is put down in short order like it was nothing. … Continue reading →

Millhiore. Millhiore is truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous. Woo ooo Millhiore… Millhiore, the music’s contagious (outrageous). The 11th episode of Dogs was one part wrap up, one part super [...]

A common miscalculation with many anime is that the ending is a disappointment.  Some end up being rushed, forgoing major details in storytelling in order to wrap up the show in the limited time given while others feel incomplete, leaving holes in the plot that could potentially be fatal to an anime.  Dog Days, however, [...]

  I am becoming very cross with you, Seven Arcs. Impressions: So… apparently the sword was still alive. For approximately two minutes. What the hell? "Sword’s dead, wait no, now it is again." Bloody great. And of course, it only tries to tentacle Yukikaze, none of the little foxes that proceeded to spear it or Brioche. [...]

Summary: The demon bursts out of its amniotic sac and while Leonmitchelli has some success fending off the bladed tentacles, Millhiore mistakenly tries to apply her success in blocking Rouge towards blocking tentacles.  Needless to say, this is a complete failure and Millhiore is badly wounded, wrapped in a bubble egg thing, and spirited away [...]

The hero becomes a TRAP!!  Wow, that was amazingly anti-climactic. This was portrayed as the death of Millihore, and yet the Big Bad Boss died pretty easily. With another 2-3 episodes left, this leaves me to believe that another final boss will show up. At least, that is all I can hope for to redeem this anime. Touchdown!! They've hyped up Millihore's possible death atop the floating

Summary: At first Gaul is all like, “Ok, I’ll attack the fortress but I’m going to be eating, reading SSAB on my cellphone, and humming at the same time,” but upon learning that Millhiore is not in the fortress he puts his full effort in.  This leads to Vert blasting Ricotta’s clothes off (and Vert [...]

SPOILER ALERT: nobody dies. Not that anyone will be surprised by this. Dog days went from being a fun and ridiculous show to a tearjerker about saving the baby animals. Or something. The creators have basically abandoned everything that made … Continue reading →

  Electric boogaloo. Impressions: Let’s recap this episode for funsies. There’s a demon! No, wait. It’s not a demon. It’s crying. And kidnapping princesses to keep on its back where there happens to be some kind animal spirit waiting to dump its life story abouthaving a demon sword stuck through it. Let’s save it! Okay, it’s saved. [...]

Really?  This was only the ninth episode?  It felt like the eleventh with all the characters gathering together, the dialogue between Millhiore and Leonmichelle regarding their friendship and these increasingly aggressive wars, and the arrival of a common threat for everyone.  Most anime save this to lead into their finale but we have three episodes [...]
