Fourth episode of Dog Days' second season seems to be the inevitable arrival of the mizugi beach service episode - and a preview clip of the affair offers a sampling of the busty blonde to headline the indecency.

Becky must have played so much Touhou or something that she becomes good at using her powers on the first try. After the highly controversial transformation scene that allowed Becky to gain magical power, she literally blew everyone away. At first, I thought she would be at a huge disadvantage because of self-esteem issues, but [...]

Written by: Kabitzin at Sea Slugs! Anime BlogSummary: It’s Rebecca’s turn to shine, and her aerial speed and mobility combine well with her unpredictable AOE attacks.  We also get some Couvre time, as she takes out Ricotta’s retarded unguarded mobile artillery division, before getting completely owninated by the invincible Leonmitchelli.  Rebecca represents well by taking out a surprised Shinku and Nanami, and [...]

Fanservice and ecchi are rarely associated with lighthearted or innocent themes.  Instead, it’s frequently employed as a cheap method to heighten sexual tension, to hastily advance romantic subplots, to be the content for stereotypical otaku humor, or to simply sexualize a character for the enjoyment of fans.  Because of these varying reasons and due the [...]

  I really have no idea what they’re doing with Becky. Impressions: This is pretty much the exact point in the first season when all the fun stopped, all the time wasting began, and then a whole lot of nothing. At least it’s already providing fertile ground for mocking it with frisbee time for the [...]

Dog Days was a series that followed the classic fantasy formula of a lone hero who is summoned to a far off land to save it from impending peril. The dynamics of the series followed our hero Cinque as he attempted to save the kingdom of Biscotti from what we first assume to be annihilation [...]

When watching the first season, it never occurred to me that there were more food connections to Dog Days than just the well known eclair and biscuit.  Perhaps those with a background in European culture or knowledge of their foods … Continue reading →

Despite being an anime comprised of intense fighting and prolonged wars, Dog Days’ manages to maintain its fun and lighthearted personality.  Though one would figure that these various battles and conflicts would detract from this dominant theme, the wars play a positive part in supporting this atmosphere and are a principal aspect in promoting the [...]

This episode had a lot of good battles until Couver decided to butt in. Compared to the warm welcome Millhiore, Éclair, Ricotta and Yukikaze gave last time, the action heats up. The way the episode played out is very similar to the second episode in the first season. It’s just interesting to see that Shinku’s [...]

Become a Hero, they said. It will be fun, they said. The first episode of Dog Days’ was just cutesy and herpderp. The second one? Fighting, and uhh…I better let the pictures do the talking. The first half of it went quite as expected, though. Oh yeah. Fuck yeah. BEST SHOW. [20:00] WHAT THE FUCK [...]

  Thank god Whose-His-Face didn’t transform like that. FYI, Horizon’s broadcast is delayed about 20 minutes today. It already airs pretty late, just letting you know it’ll air even later. Impressions: Not bad. The longer they stretch out this initial battle, the less time they have to spend frittering it away on concerts and having [...]

Even though this series is directed by a different director, it still feels like the continuation of the original with the same exact "style". In fact, it actually seems like the previous director is still directing this anime. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I heard some complaints that the previous director did a horrible job. Anyway, we get more "intense" battles between our hero

Initial impression – more of the same with more characters Summer 2012 (12 episodes) (more info) Dog Days 2 takes place a few months after season one’s ending.  Now Shinku has returned presumably for the purpose of just having fun playing the tournament-like war games that shape the culture of Flonyard—as opposed to being Biscotti’s [...]

Written by: Kabitzin at Sea Slugs! Anime BlogSummary: Shinku grabs Rebecca to meet Tatsumaki, and has Takatsuki Nanami (who is off in London, probably visiting Zyl) picked up by Leonmitchelli’s cat.  Nanami has main character potential, so her summoning is fairly similar to Shinku’s solo summoning, but Rebecca is really unraveled by the drop into Flonyard.  While Shinku introduces Rebecca to all his friends and gets ready [...]
