Good episode at least in terms of action for second half.

I still find the world fantasy fiction of the show to be amazing. They are really making that kid with the weird hair a bit OP though imo. But overall, it was entertaining. I mean, I liked most of action and this arc has been the longest one of the season so far.

The magical unicorn creature also looks amazing. Cute song also at the end..

I'd like to ask: How the hell are you able to watch the episode before it's even out?

Unless you're gettin' Cable with the ability to access the channel this anime broadcasts on, but I can't foresee that happening. I mean, I don't know of any cable company that would offer TV Tokyo or whatever channel broadcasts it.

sigh, Best part about not watching live is being able to skip annoying dog princess scenes. God i hate her....

This was a really good episode though. Honestly if when dog days itself ends he chooses the princess I'm going back and rating all seasons (except 2) a 1.

Gaul really needs to stop letting his guard down though.

Okay, just finished the episode. And I can't believe how many etymological and mythological hints I completely missed throughout the entirety of the show.

Firstly, Pega is half of the word "Pegasus", which should've directly told us WHAT Pega was - we thought he was a pig, but then I remembered that Sharl is supposed to be a Fawn kemonomimi. Deer and pigs have no relation to each other, however horses do.

Secondly, Aria is more than likely based off of Otohime of Japanese myth - it would tie in completely with Farine's getup, which is that of a Japanese Inari Miko.

Third, Verde's power was sealed in what seems to amount to the Seven-Branch Sword, another important artifact in Japanese Myth. While I can't put any serious connection between the sword and plague, I can however mention that from what Wikipedia's told me, the sword actually seems to reveal a friendship of sorts between the Three Prime Nations (more specifically Korea, Japan and China). Perhaps Verde's placement wasn't too coincidental, and was meant to help the surface dwellers.

Finally, the end card seems to signify that Sharl's going to be eating up Adele's closing gig from S2, which makes her come off as Artemis, Perseus, and Saggitarius all rolled into one.


tl;dr This is by far the richest lore that Dog Days has dropped on us in a single episode BY far. Combined with the lore from a previous episode set, this Season makes the Dog Days world stand out FAR more than most underdog (pun not intended) anime.

The only gripe I've got with the episode? Her Royal Bitch Milhi... and THAT STUPID IDOL GAB OF HERS! Seriously, could they not have picked a more enticing career for her?

However, now I'm eager for S4 to include more info on the lesser kingdoms of Halver, Eldonia and Dragée. Or at least a massive lore book or something (who am I kidding though? I'd never be able to read it, much less afford it).

Dog Days right now is the only anime I've been this excited about - none others get me as hype for some reason.

Yeah I thought the no lyrics was a bit of a cop out myself. I was hoping for a new song.

Lol I didn't even think of that...

And the song...I dunno, I found it really cringey even though there weren't any actual lyrics.

Cinque actually got to do something and even Eclair showed up. Not crazy about the 3 episode build up being completely solved by the power of hime songs, but I won't turn down the good action.

Aria is a reference to The Little Mermaid. I should have known... :P

There was good action in this episode with Cinque and Gaul defeating that little guy Verde. And I also thought I wouldn't get to see Eclair again. xP And Princess Milhi's song could have been better if there were actual lyrics.

As always, I just couldn't help but adore all the character designs in this series. ( b ' ')b

Verde was typical yandere there take away her voice to protect it and put the rest of the world to sleep "for" her :D the action was really flashy! Although Verde got defeated a bit easily.

it would be funny if someone did karaoke for that song XD

I'm catching it. But I'm also catching a native Nipponese drift. One that would more than likely make more fucking sense to a resident of Glorious Nippon.

'Course, if Gaul doesn't get the girl (and Verde does), I'm gonna be pissed.

Yay, I'm so glad about last episodes of the season, I'm satisfied with S3 at this point. This episode was quite good in sense of action, probably of the best for all three seasons.
It's a pity that Millhi's song didn't have lyrics, it was the only thing I was a little upset about. But overall, that was a really good episode to see.
Btw, they did a little change in ED, Millhi wakes up.

Oh, hi Eclair, good to see you again... Only for a few minutes, but at least we got to see your fucking face again. She has been missed.

Good job, Clinque. For saving Gaul at the last minute that is.

I presently have mixed feelings about Verde... And I'm not sure why.

The purification scene would probably have been a bit more effectful if Millhiore's song actually had lyrics :s

Also just me or was the mermaid choir better than Millhiore's solo performance anyway? Felt like they should have been more than capable of curing the sickness on their own if that was all that mattered but I guess I'm picking at straws here~

Everyone upset over the lack of lyrics, just remember when Aria was singing, it didn't have any lyrics either. It's just not supposed to have them. Songs like that do exist :p

I was actually listening for similarities to the purification song and the ED, because I thought it sounded like a slowed down, off-vocal version...well, not truly off-vocal since it sounds like she was singing the instrumental, but it's hard to tell.

Some nice action this episode. Gaul is still pretty badass (thanks in no small part to Kakihara Tetsuya), I liked his combination attack with Cinque (sounded like Asbel's "JUUHA GOUSHOUZAN!").

Pretty much what i have to say about this episode.
I MISS ECLAIR. Why must the best girl be forgotten?
And Gaul is such a bad ass, I love his fighting style with the lightning claws. It's my favorite fighting style and im glad it got showcased in this episode. First male crush in an anime? Likely.

Milli's song was kinda...lackluster. Felt weird. But overall this episode is probably in my top 5 for all 3 seasons.
Season 4? Lets see how the last episode goes.
(PLEASE HAVE A SEASON 4)

I thought Verde was a girl but whatever I guess.

Eclaaaair! Thank God she also came.

Pega still kept his "Pi~" in that badass form.lol.

Why lalala only? Do Sky people not understand surface songs or what?

After not watching this for 2,5 months for no good reasing this felt sort of underwhelming, probably took it too seriously after watching some stuff that's a bit more serious than this.

Wow those lyrics... they really put a lot of thought into them, right? xD
Didn't expect them to wrap the fighting up in one episode, seems like next time will just be the hero goodbye again.
