It seems Yozora finally snapped, gave up on the Neighbor's Club, and puts her writing skills to use.

Alright just watched the episode.. 3/5 if they repeat the same content for the next 2 weeks I'm dropping it. The only twist that I found interesting was that the girl turned out to be the famous author.

- The girl was about to get shot and didn't flinched.. and she didn't gave a shit when the guy tried to saved her and died.
- More interested in books than his own family or him being dead.
- Hopefully the jokes of "I'll kill you" / "die" with the mc don't last all 12 episodes (I don't even see myself lasting this long).

lets not forget that the boy/mc getting shot was in perfect condition, even if he was dead, after taking a blast to the head from 10 centimeters away.

How do you get shot point-blank, in the face, with a shotgun, and not have your head splatter across the room?

Hmm. Natsuno reminds me of Urabe from Mysterious Girlfriend X.
Though it really bothered me how she didn't lift a finger in the diner. Just continued to write.

There better be a good explanation for that. She doesn't seem like she is a bad person, and she feels a bit of guilt.

4.5/5

Like the artstyle, the opening and ending are really good.

As to the writer in the cafe, she was in the zone and ignoring all that was around her. I've been there so I know what it feels like. Of course a shotgun going off right beside you would send you out of that so with the first shot she should have responded!

I think the reason why she wanted to kill the dog was that his voice was constantly in her head for a few days. It would drive me nuts! Of course once she realised who was in the dog she had a slight change of heart. She still seems to find him annoying though. She seems to have a pretty huge ego and probably rightly so as a best selling author.

I'm going to guess they didn't show his face for either two reasons.
1.) He's going to die, so it kind of shows how exactly unimportant his human form will be.

2.) He'll be resurrected and the reveal will be then.

3.) It's setting up for something in the future, perhaps we'll see his face during a burial or something.

Anyways, I actually liked it, it was rather interesting and I actually felt sorry for the poor guy in the end. He started to realize what being dead as a human meant and thought of all the little things and what he couldn't do anymore.

Girl is interesting as well, pretty sadistic, but she's really kind.

It doesn't, but thanks to a pair of scissors being in it, I guess people are comparing it.

I getting the feeling that whatever she was writing came true. The robbery and him turning into a dog. When he mentioned the robbery she didn't answer...

This anime has certainly caught my attention, for me I don't recall watching many animes where someone is reincarnated as a dog with a cute ass author. I am definetly looking forward to episode 2

Current rating 8/10 (rating is subject to change over the course of the anime)

This definitively is not Deadman Wonderland or Mirai Nikki, it is a comedy so it makes sense that they do not show his hollow skull nor his brains splattered on the ground. If you ask me even the blood pool was too much (and unrealistic to boot, it would not have grown so quickly).

Meh. Another silly anime. Dropped

The plot felt forced. The setting of that sadistic & scissor-obsessed female lead also felt forced. Also it was unconvincing she was a grown-up writer. Even teens of Crime Edge acted maturer. The character design of the heroine, especially her eyes, was not appealing to my eye compared to character design of some other anime such as Dusk Maiden Amnesia. (Yuuko's eyes were much more expressive and beautiful. It got under my skin when the male lead encountered her in a club room.) Besides, the animal abuse was disgusting. I regret I watched the episode. To be honest, it was a waste of my time. I usually don't drop series at the 1st ep, but this time watching the 1st ep I can tell it's not my taste. I don't understand why this anime was created when there were already lots of better ones in terms of plot, execution and character design. Just my opinion.

He took a point blank shotgun blast to the head. He died. He came back as a dog. Maybe if she really kills him he can come back as a boy again...

Sucks that he died a virgin sad death without knowing true love. At least he can now read all the books he wants from his favourite author, until his short dog life ends.

Natsuno Kirihime kinda reminds me of a cross between Kanoe Yuuko and Senjogahara Hitagi. Kirihime...what an appropriate name she was given.

Despite the sadistic animal abuser, it actually seems a little interesting, what with the murder case behind Kazuhito. I'll keep watching for now. Don't know if I'll drop it sooner than I'll expect.

Nice first episode. Natsunol it's such a sadistic.
And I love that Sakurai Takahiro makes the Kazuhito Harumi voice, my favorite seiyuu. I hope the plot remains the same and get even better in the coming episodes.

Characters are very boring and unlikable so far.
The plot don't have any direction yet.
2/5, I almost regret watching it...
I will probably keep watching one more episode before I can any final judgement.


The way the main character died is really uncreative and ridiculous. In US, I can believe in the possibility that gun homicide. In Japan, you have 100X better chance of getting hit by lighting than get kill by shotgun especially if you are not even a Yakuza.

Lol's at the OP.

All the girls in his flashback after getting shot... is this gonna have a harem? I do like female MC though, she's quite amusing and female characters with long black hair and sadistic personality. Hngggg. Also dem flat chest jokes. 92 bust. Lols.

I kinda found the animation choppy though during the show.

Did enjoy episode 1 overall though.
