Anyways, it the good against the evil. It has humor, ACTION, some horror elements, sorrow and a tiny bit of love. It's all about helping each other, standing together and do your best, as in many other animes.
The thing that it is all about dogs makes it all the more interesting.
ART: Ok, I'll admit - the art is really not very good. Same scenes are used over and over - for example when the dogs run. Also there are some technical flaws like the dogs' front legs when they run - they suddenly end up having both a shoulder, an elbow, the wrist and an extra joint! I.e. they've put a joint too much on them, but funny enough only when they run. It doesn't really have a great impact on the story, but it is just something that annoys me (being a dog-person).
There hasn't been paid much attention to detail. When seeing a mass of dogs, the only differences between them is often only color, and sometimes size, but of course it's hard to make every charater different.
Also, the colors of the dogs are odd, like in many other animes. Weird colors like blue and blood-red, and their color patterns are also often a bit off.
I really like the soundtrack! Lots of different music suitable for every situation. Well composed and makes you feel it deep inside you!
The chracters are... nothing special. We know how they each are and how they behave, but I don't think the focus is on the characters, other than perhaps just a few.
Despite the bad things, I have ALWAYS enjoyed this anime, wanting to be Daisuke and tried to train my old, fat Labrador like Silver/Gin, lol!
An all-time favorite for me because of the theme - dogs fighting bears with their life! A beautiful story STUFFED with action, feelings, courage - you name it!
Recommendable!!!
