Random Curiosity

More friends all the time.

The third season was a return to form, featuring the essential elements I loved about the first season and all the characters from the second, mixed together in a different way.

「Summer Memories」

This was a fitting, feel-good end to a summer of unadulterated fun with Dog Days’.

「ファイナルステージ」 (Fainau Suteji)
“Final Stage”

Pettanko Assemble! The tone of the show is shifting towards the sentimental, but this episode goes to prove why it isn’t a bad thing, while still keeping up the exuberant spirit Dog Days’.

「チェンジ・マイ・ハート」 (Chenji Mai Hato)
“Change My Heart”

There’s nothing in this laid-back episode that’s particularly moving my heart.

「空陸一騎打ち！」 (Sora-Oka Ikkiuchi!)
“One-on-One In The Skies and On Land!”

Oh-ho, oh wow, just wow. That is one BIG sword.

「ユニオン・フェスタ)」 (Yunion Fesuta)
“Union Festival”

A character-focused episode! This is quite the change of pace for Dog Days’.

「エスナート芸術音楽祭」 (Esunato Geijutsu Ongaku Sai)
“Esnart Art and Music Festival”

Now what do we have here? Rabu Rabu Talk? This is one episode that’s sure to placate you shippers who haven’t gotten much love from Dog Days’.

「ガレット剣風録! ／ パスティヤージュ英雄王伝説 ／ 封印洞窟戦!」 (Garetto Tsurugi Kaze Roku! / Pasutiyaju Eiyu o Densetsu / Fuin Dokutsu Ikusa!)
“Galette Sword Style Record! / Pastillage’s Hero King Legend / Battle at the Cave of Sealing!”

Ninja and Samurais! Lolis and Bishies! Pervy demon king! How can you not smile when the show itself is having so much fun clowning around?

「勇者3人! ／ ビスコッティ夏合宿!」 (Yusha Sannin! / Bisukotti Natsu Gasshuku!)
“The Three Heroes! / Biscotti Summer Camp!”

War’s over. Time for a training camp!

「パスティヤージュ参戦！」 (Pasutiyaju Sansen!)
“Pastillage Joins the Battle!”

WAIT, WHAT? SEVEN ARCSSSSSS!

「勇者見参!」 (Yuusha Kenzan!)
“The Hero has Arrived”

Here we are again, in this land of nekomimis and inumimis….

「勇者誕生！」 (Yuusha Tanjou!)
“Birth of a Hero!”

I should have known better with the director and screenwriter of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha behind this original anime by Seven Arcs, but that doesn’t change how I feel pretty cheated with the way they purposely misled me with premise for DOG DAYS.
