Dog Days

ANN Entry

So yeah, a fantasy world populated by dog and cat eared people, where wars are settled via EXTREME OBSTACLE COURSES and when injured, soldiers explode into adorable cat/dog puffball things.

An ordinary Middle School Student (for values of "ordinary" that include leaping from his second floor window to get down to the street) gets summoned to help the losing side in a war.

And he thinks is pretty awesome actually!

Also contains 100% of you Daily Value of Chocobos, and the most god tier seiyuu cast in ages.

The leads are Miyano Mamoru and Horie Yui, other notable names include Mizuki Nana, Koshimuzu Ami, Koyasu Takehito, Taketatsu Ayana, Hikasa Youko and Tange Sakura.

Think I'll watch this just to see what Seven Arcs is like when they're not doing (a) Nanoha, or (b) hentai.

What's precedent ever done for us?

It was pretty entertaining, but also pretty dumb.

I'll probably stay with it for Leonmitchelli.

Maybe they are attempting to bank in on the next Nanoha? (I am D Ling now..)

Why spend money on any given show?

Just because a show isn't super deep and dark doesn't mean it can't be quality entertainment.

Its far too early to judge Dog Days, but...it has potential.

Too make even more money. I'll save my judgement of this after watching it(currently downloading).

[up][up] Because othe than the voice cast it hasall the hallmarks of a low quality series (generic character designs, bad animation, etc.) As a business move it feels... Off.

Just saw the episode. Pretty good so far, I'll definitly stick around for now. smile

Also, the main character kind of looked like Minato at the end of the episode to me.

Bad animation? Seriously?

I went into this with a feeling of "ehhh..." after reading the description, but actually found it rather entertaining. I have hopes with the staff of Nanoha (especially the creator/writer) also working on this, and there are scenes in the OP that make it look like there might be some epic...also, having Ginga Bishounen as the MC really threw me off guard in the best way possible.

All in all, I think I'm going to continue watching this.

Bad animation is not among the things I'd complain about of what we've seen so far

This is...Ninja Warrior in a fantasy world with kemonomimi, chocobo, and weapons...

Well wasn't expecting that.

...I think you pretty much nailed down the inspiration for this show.

Considering that they ride Chocobos, I wouldn't be surprised if Rabites weren't the inspiration.

I wonder if that happens to "named" characters or just the mooks? Lots of comedy potential here.

This was really fun, weird, but fun. I can see why people would not like it, but still, I wouldn't say that it is horrible or that it has all the hallmarks of a low quality show.

I don't know what genre this will be, but I really hope they stick with comedy, a serious plot with these premise will be very ridiculous.

This show is hilarious, and is quite likely to become my personal favorite of the season.
