About Dog Days

Dog Days (ドッグデイズ) blends action, adventure and fantasy by Seven Arcs (2011). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Dog Days takes place in the realm 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.

Further in, 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 learner from Earth. Agreeing to assist Biscotti, Cinque retrieves a sacred weapon called the Palladion and prepares for war.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Yui Horie as Millhiore Firianno Biscotti and Mamoru Miyano as Cinque Izumi. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Seven Arcs is the studio behind Dog Days, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.4/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Yui Horie voicing Millhiore Firianno Biscotti gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2011, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
