Synopsis
Dog Days takes place in the world of Flonyard, an alternate Earth inhabited by beings who resemble humans, but also have the ears and tails of specific animals. The Republic of Biscotti, a union of dog-like citizens, has come under attack by the feline forces of the Galette Leo Knights. In an effort to save Biscotti, Princess Millhiore summons a champion from another world in order to defend her people. That champion is Cinque Izumi, a normal junior high student from Earth.
Agreeing to assist Biscotti, Cinque retrieves a sacred weapon called the Palladion and prepares for war. In Flonyard, wars are fought with no casualties and are more akin to sports competitions with the goal of raising money for the participating kingdoms. Cinque is successful in his role as Biscotti’s champion, but learns that a summoned champion cannot be returned to their home world. The scientists of Biscotti will endeavor to find a way for Cinque to return home, but until they figure something out, he must serve Princess Millhiore by continuing to fight as Biscotti’s hero.

Editor's Review
“Dog Days” is an anime series that takes place in the world of Flonyard, an alternate Earth inhabited by beings who resemble humans, but also have the ears and tails of specific animals. The Republic of Biscotti, a union of dog-like citizens, has come under attack by the feline forces of the Galette Leo Knights. In an effort to save Biscotti, Princess Millhiore summons a champion from another world in order to defend her people. That champion is Cinque Izumi, a normal junior high student from Earth.
The series is a collaboration of all kinds of anime thrown into one, in order to make fun of it. It’s one of those animes that make fun of anime in general. The comedic view on anime is one of the reasons why it’s so entertaining.
The animation was fluid and clear, and made the fight scenes that litter this anime extremely enjoyable. The music was fine, but not particularly memorable either. It did its job adequately, but it more often than not lacked real impact.
However, “Dog Days” has its share of flaws. The world is populated with beast-people meaning cat-eared and dog-eared characters all around. There’s some minor drama in it, with a hint of darkness, but the anime doesn’t really go too far from light-hearted nature. Still, the story is amusing, but not exceptional.
Despite these shortcomings, “Dog Days” remains an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate comedic animes and don’t mind the beast-people undertones. The series offers a fresh take on the comedic genre, making it worth checking out.
