Dog Days Review



Dog days is a Japanese animated series made by Masaki Tsuzuki, the same mind who made  Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. The animation has 13 episodes that started airing on July 7 to September 29, 2012. The animation is all about the adventure of Cinque Izumi, a happy go lucky athletic boy who was summoned to a different world. Cinque woke up in Flonyard an alternate dimension where the inhabitants are like normal people only that they have animals ears and tails. Cinque was summoned by Millhiore, the dog-like Princess of the Biscotti Republic who asked cinque's help to participate in a war as a hero against the forces of the feline like creatures of Galette. Cinque was given a weapon as a sign of being the hero of Biscotti , The Palladion. When they are in a war, The two kingdoms participate in a sports-like themed battle and if the participants will be knocked out, they will turn into an animal fur ball. The first to conquer the castle or defeat the Leader will win. 

DogDays probably is a rare type of fighting/shonen manga. The idea they put into making Sports/Athletics as the means of war is really outstanding.  all i can say is this anime is somewhat the anti violence or anti war type of animation. Now for the Story, there are some dull moments in this series. the plot is really easy to understand but there are some loop holes. Though the story isn't really that deep it tend to make viewers question what is the real plot they portray. This anime is really into its genre and that can be seen clearly in all of the episodes. From the drawing, the transition of the story, and also semi pun/comedic stuff. Nevertheless this anime is highly recommended for those who wanted to watch a bit of calm but action packed anime.

 I'll rate this 8/10 at some point it leaves many questions unanswered.

In an unknown city, organized crime and Orgmen have flooded the land. With nowhere to escape and no one else to go to, a young girl named Mika commits herself to the revival of a great sweeper, Brandon Heat, now obtaining the alias "Beyond the Grave". With the entire city under the hands of Harry MacDowel, Beyond the Grave must put an end to the tyranny of Harry and his Organization. But can Brandon Heat point same gun at the person he once was his bestfriend? This anime is a 26 episode anime with crimes, sci-fi,actions and drama. Well to tell the you the truth just for me the first episode is kinda boring but don't be fooled by it because the other sequence will leave you hanging so catch up on our main character as he venture and deal with his amity. Though there are times where in the pacing of anime is slow and dead silence takes over we were pleased by the progsession of the story line and how you will be able to get to know each character and their r

Buzzer Beater is a 13 episode anime adaptation to the work of Takehiko Inoue which was serialized in Shueisha. The manga itself can also be viewed in Takehikos's Webpage in  Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Buzzer Beater is one of the many basketball themed animes. The series Center Hideyoshi Tanaka, a basketball prodigy at a very young age. Hideyoshi plays with the human team to compete in the inter galactic basketball games. All seems good about their team and the rivalries aside when hideyoshi learned something about himself. Buzzer Beater is one of the many basketball themed anime i tried watching. To be blunt, i am really confused about this anime. The plot of the anime is actually quite interesting and it had potential. but i am not sure if this anime could go head to head against anime with the same genre. Let me start with the "good" part. The animation of the series is really good. Watching the series actually  gives you a bit of thrill and suspens
