Synopsis

Cinque returns to the land of Flonyard in Dog Days' to resume his duties as the hero of the Biscotti Republic and it's as though he never left!

The difference this time is that he's brought two friends with him who become heroes in their own right: childhood best friend Rebecca Anderson, who becomes the hero for the Principality of Pastillage at the urging of their leader Princess Couvert Eschenbach Pastillage, and his cousin Nanami Takatsuki, who becomes the hero for the Galette Lion Dominion.

As with the first season though, with so many secrets to be uncovered and mysteries to be solved, will there even be time for the athletic events that these three hyper and athletic teenagers love to participate in so much?

This review is going to be based from the point of view of someone who has already seen season one. I have already written a review for season one that you should read if you are new to Dog Days. If you are just going to be getting into Dog Days for the first time, please make sure to watch season one first. You may think this is obvious, but because of the weird naming scheme of the show and it's current streaming conditions in the west, it can really be confusing to newcomers. Season one is called "Dog Days" and season two is "Dog read more

Dog Days is one of those series (1st season and 2nd season) where you either love it because of all the fun it has and how light hearted it is, or you hate it because it seemingly goes nowhere (this applies more so to the 2nd season). But whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that Dog Days is good at what it tries to do.

For the second season of Dog Days, Cinque is summoned back to the world of Flonyard along with his close friend Becky and cousin Nanami. This time, however, each side gets their own hero to even things out. Throughout each episode the characters experience some humorous ordeals or partake in a “war”.

There are numerous differences between the first and second season. The biggest difference is that the second season does not contain an underlying plot like the first season. However not every series needs a plot to succeed and the second season of Dog Days is an example of that. Each episode has a ton of funny moments and since something different happens every episode, most of the episodes are very entertaining. Another big difference is the addition of another country Pastillage. This addition did a number of things: added more characters, added variety to the “wars” and also helped with the comedy. Despite all these changes, the second season Dog Days is still very similar to the first season. The series doesn’t try for too much, it’s funny, it’s cute and most importantly it’s entertaining.

The art and animations are pretty much the same as the previous season. There are some very appealing visuals especially during battles and the character designs look very cute.

The opening and ending are also very similar to the opening and ending of the first season. The opening is very energetic, which describes the series very well. The ending is a very sweet song which I think is perfect for a conclusion to an episode. The voice actors also do a very good job matching the characters they are playing.

For this season, we don’t just have one hero, we have three. Our original hero Cinque/Sink, is probably the weakest of the three heroes in terms of power level, but he still looking like Nathan Drake (just shows you how powerful these heroes are). Despite being the weakest hero, he is a great character. He never shies away from a challenge, he’s nice and he has great chemistry with all the other characters.

The other two heroes don’t stand out as much as Cinque but they do play a role during each episode. Nanami, who is Cinque’s older cousin, has a personality which is very similar to Cinque. She’s very energetic, doesn’t back down from a challenge but she’s also slightly stronger than Cinque. Becky, Cinque’s best friend and perhaps the most over powered hero of all, is very different from the other heroes. She isn’t very athletic but she does have a lot of experience with video games making her a hero with a different style from Cinque and Nanami (her hero form is like a witch). All 3 of them are very likable and are pretty good characters

For this season, the princess Millhiore doesn’t play as big as a role as she did the first time but she is still the same as the first season, soft-spoken, kind, can hold her own in battle and best of all very cute so I have no complaints. During this season Éclair really sticks out because she undergoes development which a pleasant surprise and also because out of all the characters in the series, she has the best chemistry with Cinque. There are also a bunch of new characters such as Couvert, Valerio and Adelaide just to name a few. Each character adds to the comedy each bringing a different personality to the table. I also like the fact that there is no jealousy war that goes on between the characters that love Cinque instead they are all nice to each other which I like because sometimes in other anime there is a jealousy war between love rivals which can get very annoying.

Dog Days (both seasons) is a very enjoyable series because it likes to have fun, it’s very light, very funny and every episode brings something different. However the series isn’t for everyone, it has no story and doesn’t seem to go anywhere. But if you are just looking for something to watch, Dog Days (both seasons) can be a very fun watch.

Overall, even though the second season of Dog Days is different from the first, it’s still just as good. It’s not spectacular by any means but it’s still the cute and funny series that many would enjoy.

An Exercise In Futility

That is really the best way I can describe the second season of Dog Days. While I felt the first season was sub-par and full of potential, this season denied the opportunity for this anime to have any potential.

For those that have seen the first season of Dog Days, you're not missing much with the second season. It is the same-old shtick with the addition of some new characters...completely unnecessary characters I might add. So where did this anime go awry?

The story. It is truly dreadful. Actually, that might be doing it a disservice because it is non-existent. This season picks up where the first one left off, Sinku takes Nanami and Rebecca with him to Flonyard and this time, Nanami becomes the hero for Galette and Rebecca becomes the hero for the newly introduced country of Pastillage. Couverte decides to enter Pastillage into the war games between Biscotti and Galette and it essentially becomes a three-sided war. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound as epic as it should. There is very little action in this "Union Fest" I believe they call it and the fight scenes that fans should be expecting are quite disappointing. It seriously felt like 2/3 of this anime was padding and fan service...and BOY is there fan service! Even more so than the first season which had a mild amount in its own right. One aspect I really didn't like was how it felt like Nanami and Rebecca were pros at the combat right off the bat. There wasn't any sort of struggle or buildup, it seemed like they were ready to go as soon as they got to Flonyard. It really took away any flare for the dramatic.

I also did not find this anime very enjoyable just for the fact that the character interaction is extremely dry. Unlike the first season, there was no sense of drama or tension in this season. Everything was cookie cutter and dry. This felt like one, antagonizingly long episode of Barney the Dinosaur with all the I'm so happy, I love you moments. Throw that on top of the what felt like filler episodes made this a very difficult watch. While watching this anime (and even taking the very liberal stance Japan has with their media), I had several contemplations running through my mind. I kept asking myself, "what's the target audience for this anime?" The dialogue felt like it was for a middle-schooler or perhaps even younger while the content felt as though they were aiming for a HS to college age audience. Whatever it may be, it felt like it didn't work. The dialogue felt too childish for an older anime viewer like myself to enjoy while the fan service was raunchy enough to make me blush (kidding, but it's a statement that I wouldn't let my kids watch this). Unlike the first season, I had to really FORCE myself to finish this season and I really didn't feel the payoff by the time it was all said and done.

So with that being said, was there anything this anime did right? Sort of. I did like the artwork...albeit, there was a scene in Episode 2 where it felt like this anime suddenly jumped into the realm of magical girl hentai...and for those who have watched the anime know what I'm talking about. I thought the music was still pretty good for this season, although I'll admit I liked the music a little better last season. I will say that it is extremely hard to pinpoint the good things about Dog Days' because they were few and far between.

Overall, I felt like Dog Days' was really 6 1/2 wasted hours of my life and probably the worst anime I've seen in 2012. The setup in the first season was actually much more dramatic than I expected and I felt if season two could capture the same sort of dramatic flare the mid-to-late sections of season one captured, it could've been a pretty decent anime. It didn't come close and honestly, it didn't even try. I have no idea what the writers were even trying to do with this season. I'm not sure if they wanted to try and make an epic setup for a third season or what, but season two was not even close to keep me invested in this series if it does continue.

I watched the first season of Dog Days, thinking that it wasn't so good, but had a decent story, cute characters with a cute design, and that it was entertaining enough to watch every week. And that a new season was a good thing.

But the second season is simply awful. The main reason for this is: there is no story. There is only a bunch of random episodic stuff. There is no tension, no danger. Only a bunch of kids playing, singing and giving some mild fanservice. I kept on watching every week thinking that there would be something to grasp upon. Something interesting that read more
