Let me start by saying that I just watched all three seasons of this back-to-back and that, going in, I had no idea what it was about (except that it had animal-ear girls).
The story starts off in a typical "isekai" flair--the main character Shinku (or something phonetically similar, depending on your translation) is summoned to another world to fight in a war as a Hero. Shinku is an incredible athlete in that he placed second in a Ninja Warrior-esque competition behind his mentor/rival; both of them happen to be in Middle School, by the way. After getting a quick explanation of what is happening, he heads off to war. Since "war" in this show equates to American Gladiators on an obstacle course (with large armies of people on either team), Shinku is able to quickly excel.

Let me tell you a quick story of a man who was bored one lovely, chilly evening. He sat in front of the shining monitor as the dark of the night surrounded him, and thought to himself 'What should I watch now?'. To the dismay of his heart and mind, he hath stumbled upon the wonder of a simple name: Dog Days. And now, two days later, he whimpers in despair and cursing his past self for ever being bored.
TL;DR - pros/cons
+ Some great action scenes
+ Good sound effects
+ Not the worst thing ever
- Story
- Dialogue
- Characters - Plotholes galore
- Ending
Dog Days opened up as a chill, action-packed light adventure with colorful cast of characters and endless possibilities within its world, only to end up as an over-bloated mess that's so full of itself it makes most of the things you'v…

_______________
Really though, this show is a wholly example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Episode 1 is incredibly light and shallow, but the show blossoms into something much better by the end. All the characters are likeable and have their motives, so when conflict erupts, you can't just point to one side and go "those are the bad guys clearly in the wrong". Art is cutesy if not revolutionary, and all of the girls are best girl (except for the humans, they're lame) The show takes a war-game type approach, and paved the way for great shows like Mondaiji-tachi and No Game No Life, so that's cool I guess. If you too like touching fluffy tail I recommend this show.

What's interesting about any medium designed for entertainment is its ability to figuratively transport us to another world. Television, books, and anime all have this capability; we watch the drama unfold, read the words, and enjoy the antics, so much so that we feel as if we are somehow placed in this newfound creation. At times, we are also presented with the literal form instead of the figurative. That is, the story involves leaving an old world to be brought to a new one. Dog Days Season One is such a "tail," (I had to!) but is almost nothing more.
STORY
The story begins with Shinku, a middle school boy who is seemingly summoned to the distant land of Flognarde to fight as the country of Biscotti's "hero" to help them win their battles.…

Riddle me this; a boy has been summoned to a faraway land full of animal-human hybrids and has become the centerpiece of an on-going war between the kingdom of dogs and the kingdom of cats. This boy is thirteen, small in stature, incredibly gifted athletically, and always believes in the right way, as opposed to the wrong way; the way of evil and immoral purposes. Typically, boys like this are somewhat hard to come by, as thirteen year old boys are usually at the point of transition between childhood and puberty, in which case, their minds begin to wonder, about everything. So, to point out the fact that this boy, who was transported to a world predominantly controlled by colorful-haired, big eyed women, is so pure of heart, it's safe to say that there shouldn't be any issues with his lika…

STORY:
There wasn't really much of a story to dog days. Some random guy got ported into a world full of dogs and cats, where they have friendly or not so friendly battles with eachother just for the sake of having battle(and money)(while typing that, a strange image of america came up with me, I don't know why). This kind of story has been done before, and it just had nothing new in itself(except for the cat and dog girls. Oh, there were guys as well, sometimes, in the background). So no a high score on the story part.
ANIMATION:
Dog days was very colorful, which I liked a lot. Because dog days is all about happy battles that sort of style suited it perfectly. I also liked it that the main characters were 10 times more detailed unimportant random battle dudes, who all had the same face…

Dog Days is a wonderful light-hearted series created by Masaki Tsuzuki, who also created Nanoha.
In Dog Days there is a magical world named Flonyard, where there are countries made up of different types of animal people. These animal people are not really animals, instead they just have animal ears and tails much like typical anime catgirls. The world has a magical barrier which allows residents to have military battles without physically being harmed. The different countries pool money together and use these fun mock-battles to entertain their people and keep their economies booming.
One particular country named the Biscotti Republic (most of the characters and places are named after culinary terms), a country made up of dog people, is having a bad losing streak. The dog-like pink princ…

I honestly wasn't expecting much from Dog Days. I simply clicked and watched it for the sake of passing some time. However, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed watching the anime. Normally I don't watch shows with such a lighthearted atmosphere but I feel like Dog Days was able to pull it off quite well. Although there were several elements that I felt needed work, the majority of the series was enjoyable enough that it could be ignored.
(Some spoilers!)
First the story of the anime is somewhat weak. The hero is summoned to an alternate world so that he may fight in a war. Seems all good until you find out that the wars aren't actually wars. Critical thinkers while watching the anime may feel distracted by the fact that the "intense" battles the characters face are not as deadly. Howev…

So this is one of the series that combines almost all the cliches into one anime, but, it does it well. Or something like that.
Story: 7
So we have our tipical "chosen-one" plot, when somebody somewhere in the world gets sucked into another dimension for good. In most series, the chosen one acts like a complete retard, asking everytime what to do. But this anime breaks completely this tradition, and the chosen one practically DESERVES to be the chosen one.
In the other dimension, two kingdoms-or-whatever-they-are are in a "war", and the -apparently- good kingdom needs more attack power, and is forced to summon a person from other dimension that helps.
This kingdom, Biscotti, ends up summoning Izumi Cinque, a 13 year old boy wi…

I just completed Dog Days less than 24 hours ago, so I'll post a quick review of the show for now.
STORY:
It has been four years since the disappointment that was Mahou Shoujo StrikerS, and I can see that the writers from Seven Arcs really learnt their lesson from it. Initially I thought Dog Days would be like another StrikerS, having only one complicated story arc and such. But no. Instead, the writers decided to give Dog Days a different approach by having many mini story arcs.
And what do the audience benefit from this? A show with a simple plot line and excellent pacing. I wasn't confused by the story in Dog Days as I was in StrikerS. I don't need to shut down my laptop and cool down to think over what the characters were talking about in the last episodes I watched. Instead, Dog D…

Dog Days doesn’t really have any element to call it unique or special. Still, as my expectations were low, it still managed to be one very entertaining series. Sure there’s nothing of quality to call it above average, but it’s one of those anime that one doesn’t need to feel ashamed to watch. In other words, this Zero no Tsukaima clone is not to be ignored by those who loved..Well..Zero no Tsukaima.
To simply call it a clone would be somewhat of a false statement. True, the premise is highly similar to Zero, but the difference entirely lies in execution. The difference between the two is that Dog Days doesn’t suffer from a bad direction. As a matter of fact, the direction is quite excellent. Of course I’m not talking about the actual story that is nothing more than your average shounen st…

Dog Days is a 1-cour anime about the beautiful and fun-filled world of Fronyaldo, where the land is green and islands float in the sky. The people living there closely resemble that of a human except that they have big ears and fluffy tails similar to that found on other mammals such as dogs, cats, lions, etc. Anyways, the setting is similar to that of Medieval Europe where fortresses or castles are found everywhere and soldiers fought with weapons like bows, spears, swords, and magic.
The show primarily focus on a human male known as Izumi Cinque (or Shinku), who was incidentally dragged into an alternate world he never knew of after being summoned by the Princess of the Biscotti Kingdom, Princess Millhiore Biscotti, to be a hero and help them turn the tide of war against the nation of G…

Dog Days is not Zero no Tsukaima. I say this because I've seen a lot of people saying that they are alike, and to me, Dog Days pales greatly in comparison to Zero no Tsukaima. I am writing this review because I honestly don't like the idea of people going into Dog Days thinking that they will definitely get the same experience they did when they went into watching Zero no Tsukaima. Some may, others like myself won't.
Story: 3
Both Dog Days and Zero no Tsukaima are built on using a cliché storyline. Actually, this kind of cliché story line is one of the more popular ones when people write fanfiction, the “girl falls into another universe.” Actually, this cliché is used in a lot of Anime, like Fushigi Yugi and Inuyasha being a few examples. The difference here is, the story involves a guy.…

Our adventuring days are coming to a close as the season finale approaches. Oh Dog Days, to quote Eclair, “I have no confidence that I’ll remember you.” With that in mind, let me quickly give my final thoughts while I do still remember.
There’s not much to say about the actual final episode. If you’ve watched the entire series, it’s all pretty clear what will happen at the end. Some personal back story and my final thoughts.
The reason I even watched this is my love of the fantasy genre. If it’s got swords and magic (specifically RPG like elements) I’ll give a shot. I have to assume that the traditional ‘western’ high-fantasy fiction (think LoTR), isn’t as popular in Japan as they have their own set of myths and fantasy-tales, which are pretty defined it their own right. But that’s left…

I think I'm going crazy.
Dog Days is, without a doubt, virtualy vapid. The main character is barely expanded upon from what we learn about him during the first few episodes, his motivation is lucid and those around him treat him like a piece of furniture for the most part. The entire show also seems to suffer from the same issues recent Final Fantasy games have suffered from, where it doesn't seem to understand who the main character is! The entire plot is circled around the main chracters love interest and the 'villan'. It's like in Final Fantasy 12, we all know Vaan isn't the hero, Ashe is. The animation is colourfull and fluid, yet nto very interesting and easily forgettable, all the music save for the opening is uninspired and yet...despite all of this...I like Dog Days.

Ok, I've just completed this 13 episode anime, at first, I've would have thought to be boring, but this is one very unique action, fantasy thing were there's no blood and gore, so how do I rate this:
Story: Good 7.
The action fantasy genre of this anime really did deliver as as what it's intended for which is to be enjoyed both but kids and adults alike, but I think it's info should also state other genres like, magic, martial arts and supernatural, since a lot of it were also present ....Harem? Hummmm, I don't think so, co'z the muchacho (the male lead, Cinque) has only confess to one chiquita (Millhiore, the female lead). Though, the plot maybe a simple cliche of good kingdom being invaded but evil kingdom, it is a bit diffident since both parties seems to do it in friendly terms were…

War, war never changes. Dog days however shows us that war does not have to be gruesome and depressing, instead it's turned into an animated version of Takeshi's Castle/WipeOut with animal people! Dog Days is one of those animes that carries little to no substance but is at the same time extremely enjoyable and fun.
Story: 7/10
Dog Days suffers the same problem most "moe"animes have nowadays, namely the lack of plot. The plot in Dog Days is there but one has to look very carefully in order to find it the first 8 episodes. The plot itself does feel a little out of place in a happy-go-lucky world of cat/dog/bunny/etc people but is believable nonetheless.
Art: 8/10
The background art in Dog Days is outstanding, and the anime loves to show it to you by zooming out and showing you the beau…

On a personal note, I had quite high hopes for this show. With a good amount of successful anime stemming from being original anime series, Dog Days, having that element, combined with having an excellent seiyuu cast and being animated and directed by the staff from the animation studio Seven Arcs, seemed highly promising to deliver a successful show. However for the most part they did not.
Story and Setting
Dog Days is a 13 episode original series which revolves around a boy called Cinque or Shinku who is transported into a medieval fantasy land called Flonyard as a hero of the country Biscotti, to fight against the nation of Gallette. From this premise, it was possible for the show to develop into something complex, but the setting of the show, being light-hearted in a manner suiting c…

Dog Days was one of those series that pleasantly surprised me. At first I thought the series wouldn't get anywhere, but it sure proved me wrong. As the weeks passed by, the series just kept getting better, and it just goes to show that first impressions aren't everything.
Dog Days starts off like a number of fantasy series, with our protagonist getting summoned to another world to assist with a war that is currently going on. Although the word “war” makes it sound like something big is going on, a war is more like a game with a protective barrier to prevent anyone from getting seriously harmed. However as the series goes on a catastrophe begins to develop and the characters are forced to stop it.
When the series first started, it looked like it wouldn’t actually have a plot because the s…
