Inu ni Nattara Suki na Hito ni Hirowareta.

On a rainy afternoon, a male high school student awakens freezing on the streets with no memory of how he got there. His classmate and crush, Karen Inukai, finds him and takes him back to her home where, to his surprise, she starts to undress. She seems intent on bathing with him, though he has no idea why. When she holds him once more, he catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror—discovering that he has turned into a dog!

Inukai adopts the puppy and names him Pochita. Now, he must adjust to life as a dog and figure out how to get out of this strange predicament. But while he mulls over an escape plan, Pochita sees a whole new side to Inukai that he never saw at school.

I *love* this anime—no shame in saying it. If you're into fanservice-heavy shows that also toss in a bit of mystery and weird transformation stuff, this is an absolute gem.

Let’s start with the obvious: the **fanservice**. It’s amazing. Each scene is like it was crafted by a true man of culture. Super erotic and suggestive, but never actually crossing the line into being too much. Just *peak perfection*. The way each girl gets her spotlight moment? Chef’s kiss. These girls are straight-up **goddesses**—every one of them oozes appeal, personality, and that perfect teasing vibe. Sure, the **art isn't top-tier**, and at times you can tell ... the animation had budget limits, but honestly, I was too busy appreciating the "camera angles" to care that much.

What surprised me was the **story**. For a show that looks like it's just here for the lewd vibes, the plot actually pulled me in. You wake up as a dog with zero idea how or why it happened, and you're suddenly in your crush's house. You're just as clueless as the main character, and that mystery element keeps you watching. It adds just enough intrigue to balance out the spice.

My only real complaint? **The episode length.** 10–15 minutes? Come on. That’s not nearly enough. Right when you’re getting into the good stuff, the episode ends. It definitely deserves full-length 24-minute episodes.

If you like ecchi done well, with some fun story hooks and top-tier waifus, give it a shot. **I seriously hope we get a second season**—there’s so much more potential to explore!

Mixed Feelings

When i first watched anime, i thought that this is just a anime, until i watch for 8 minutes (in ep 1), i started realize that this anime had a problem in it, and.....know that, 11 eps (+ 2 ovas) are such a nightmare for me. I feel my ancestor(s) are looking down on me because i watch this anime, i rethinking my life again when i finished this anime and for those who want to watch this anime.


NO, i wont recommend this, and if you finish this, please go touch grass, it's better
(this is my first review nah)

And one more, why is ... a dog, i just thought that is a maid or something but.....this is a dog, yes, a real dog and with a view of the dog you can see.....(you know, right), so please dont watch anime, like me, you will have a nightmare

This anime is a series of half length episodes about a guy who gets turned into a dog named Pochita and then adopted by a girl named Inukai. There is a plot centered around him trying to figure out how he became a dog and how to change back into a human. However, it isn’t all that good and moves very slowly. I suppose there’s also some attempt at fleshing out the character of Inukai and a couple other girls, but they were still all incredibly underdeveloped.

The focus more so is random ecchi hijinks. To be honest, these aren’t all that great either. The way ... this anime is talked about I expected this anime to be much more degenerate than it actually is. I’d say about 90% of it is generic ecchi that you’ll find in any ecchi show. The only way him being a dog plays into things is that the girls let down their guard around him, but in the grand scheme of things that doesn’t really change much. For example, Inukai bathes with him and none of the girls mind that Pochita can see their underwear, but in execution that isn’t any different from other anime that that show heroines bathing alone or panchira without using a dogs POV. It’s the standard stuff, and the production values are pretty low so the end result is pretty dull.

The remaining 10% that actually uses the fact that he’s a dog does get pretty wild and is thus at least interesting. But it’s such a small part of the show that I don’t think it’s enough to hold it up for anyone. It does feel like the story will be trending further in that regard in the future so the manga might end up more interesting. But as is, this season is really weak.

tl;dr: A low budget ecchi with very little of interest.
