We finally got to the start of the real battle. Anyone else notice how none of the generals ever fight each other? They are all nub-stomping and avoiding each other; these are some quality pub-stomping generals. Heck, the generals even run around in groups while avoiding each other. Ha-ha-ha. If that isn't pub-stomping, then I don't know what is. Sigh. This show and their exploding clothes...

Dog Days gets completely unleashed in its 9th episode. It has something for all fans of the show from fan service to suspenseful thrills, and swordplay to heavy ammunition. It [...]

This was a battle episode so things picked up, but it still just wasn’t as fun as the first few episodes. The main problems are all these prophecies and the drama with the princess. It is impossible for this show … Continue reading →

Here’s hoping that the demons Noir was not so subtlety foreshadowing in this episode completely change the series from a light-hearted adventure into something suspenseful and serious. Dog Days provided some foreshadowing of future events in the most obvious and, because it was so direct, somewhat irritating way possible.  On the road to the battlegrounds, [...]

Summary: In a flashback, we see that Bernard and Viole got the exclusive scoop from Leonmitchelli as she tells them about her divinations.  Earlier bossiness to get Millhiore more protection only made the visions clearer, but it seems that there is a loophole—the owners of Excelide and Paladion, rather than Millhiore and Shinku specifically, are [...]

  …What? Impressions: I guess it was okay, but two things really undermined it. First, like many of the ‘action’ episodes before in this show, it was almost all just named characters wailing on grunts. The cats got to mostly do it this time, but the characters used were still at almost completely random. Hell, [...]

I have always had a thing for archers... After a couple of days after airing, the subs are finally out. It sucks that Ayako is busy with exams, causing Dog Days to be delayed; at least this other subbing group is getting faster. I digress from the main point of the post though. This episode was nice and witty, with the master plan of Biscotti going off without a hitch. Combat maids. I'm

Biscotti’s and Galette’s armies meet each other once again on the battlefield. Be it adventurous epics tales or fluffy wagging tails, the adventure-fantasy anime Dog Days continues to bring much [...]

This was an improvement over the most recent episodes due to the return of some action, but it still isn’t up to the standards of the first few episodes. The creators have committed what is in my opinion the most … Continue reading →

Summary: After an extra early session of rubber stamping documents, Millhiore enjoys a morning walk with Shinku which turns into a session of catch using a Paladion-generated frisbee. Shinku feels that he can’t get Paladion to take on its true sword form and Millhiore assures him that it will do so when the need arises, [...]

  If they were expecting an attack, why are they armed with ladles? Impressions: Yawny yawn. Another setup episode structured. It took them 15 minutes just to get to the battlefield, most of which was spent watching the Absolutely Lovely Animals banter and the good guys tease Shinku about breasts. The most entertaining part of [...]

Summary: Galette’s forces have begun to withdraw from Biscotti’s territory. In a formal state ceremony, Millhoire dishes out rewards to her faithful knights with a special head pat for Eclair. A few days pass quickly, Rico and Shinku bring some treats for the training knights and, for extra practice, the latter spars with Eclair. It [...]

So I am supremely late with this. Like really freaking late. How late am I? My deadline for this is usually the first of the month. I have a really good excuse though and that was there was just too much good anime coming out this season! Between the slice of life series proving much [...]

Like with most any show I watch that isn’t a highly recommended classic, I came into my first viewing of Dog Days with no expectations.  And then I watched the first episode and began sharpening the knife.  I just knew that this series didn’t have long and once put under my watchful eye towards it.

Rambling about the first half of the anime series Dog Days featuring wallpapers from the various characters in the series like Rebecca Anderson, Millhiore F. (Firianno) Biscotti, etc...

How different would Dog Days be without Shinku?  Or even simpler, remove the whole ‘summoning from Earth/return to Earth’ aspect for the hero?  What would Dog Days be like if it were solely contained in this fantasy world? For example, imagine if there were no summoned hero role in the anime but Leonmichelle still foresaw [...]

Glomp~ Well, we got the start of that peak towards the climax of the anime in this episode. Everything is starting to set in motion for the huge battle between Biscotti and Galette. Things are really shaping up for this anime to be one of my favourites of the season. I wouldn't have been able to guess from the first episode, which is a nice surprise. It is always nice to be impressed with the

With the exception of the Princess and Shinku’s date where they practically get it on, I found this an unremarkable episode. The Galette war machine gets turned up to 11 and Biscotti responds, although we now know there’s a lot more at stake for all the main participants. As planned Shinku takes out Millhiore out [...]

I’m starting to lose hope for Dog Days. It seems set to be a classic case of a show having a great start, only to abandon everything which made it great to focus on things no one cares about, like … Continue reading →

  Yes, he does make her fetch. Impressions: Yawn. Well, at least by Seven Arcs standards, we should be due for another decent episode next week, although I’m wondering if they’re going to stretch out this extra-super-serious invasion to the bitter end of the show. Well, the season at least, since Seven Arcs has never [...]
