What a cute dog :3, oh it talks too.

The OP song was lololol, dat dance. Kirihime is a cool chick though with her scarlet eyes imo. I didn't expect some violence in this though.

Kazuhito is alive but now is a dog :o
Anyways, cool girl is cool:


Lol and I see him all tied up as well. Poor kid. Anyways, first episode was entertaining enough for me. I'll keep watching and might even give the manga a shot in the future.

007 reference spotted oh and cool ED song :>

That wasn't too bad. For some reason I find the tired personality of the MC much more bearable when thrown into a dog's body.

That ED was something else.

Like sadist Yuuko Kirihime already.

The OP and ED are really something. All these references too.

Not much of the Gonzo feel except the coloring and artstyle smacks a bit of the early 00s anime Gonzo used to do quite a lot.

Kind of a fun watch as I find the situation of the doggie and the super-S writer really amusing.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

After wasting his life with a confrontation with a armed madman, he is supposed to be dead, but he just got a second chance in life and ends up as a.. wanko?! All he cared about was getting the chance to read the last volume of Akiyama Shinobu's book. Even being a dog, his only concern is getting to read book that book?! I didn't enjoy Akiyama Shinobu running crazy with a pair of scissors and threatening to kill the wanko. Maybe I will skip this one.

Not an amazing start of summer anime. I guess I will have to wait until the 4th.

Captivating enough but let's see if it can maintain my interest for the rest of the season

Kind of weird to hear Takahiro Sakurai in a lighter role after something like Psycho Pass

Well I mean, as a person who's extremely obsessed with books (I mean look at his apartment/condo) it's not an unreasonable dying wish. And after he's accepted that he's a dog he really has nothing to do and since he loves books so much, it's not surprising that he wants to read. I actually found that pretty funny.

Anyways, I think my expectations were really low for this because I ended up enjoying this first episode quite a bit. Kirihime and Kazuhito are pretty cool. I laughed a lot. The art style was a bit meh at first, but then I either got used to it or it got better. I probably got used to it.

Great first episode 4/5

Not bad, interesting enough to keep going for a few more episodes at the very least. Kirihime is pretty hot, but a bit too quick with the scissors. I like how he gets shot in the head protecting her 2 feet away and she doesn't even look up from writing. Okay...

At the very least she did look troubled a few times over his death, so maybe she does have a soft spot.

I liked it! The comedy felt a bit forced in the beginning but once I got used to it, it flowed great. Decent animation also. I wonder if Kazuhito will get his body back by the end.

I have to say, it felt as though Kanoe Yuuko from Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, got a feature remodel and starred in this anime.

Would be an irony if Shimono Hiro voiced the dog, complete opposite of the dog he plays in Binbougami ga! The dialogue delivery technique made me think it was in fact him.

The show was plenty random but most importantly funny. The facial expression of the dog especially.

When I read the premise for the first time I thought this really wouldn't be my thing. The only reason I decided to give it a shot was the fact that the female lead is voiced by Marina Inoue, and man did she deliver! I did also find myself both amused and intrigued, so definitely gonna see what's coming next.

Pretty darn hilarious XD

Kirihime's S tendencies and her boob size bragging was so lol hahaha Loving her already.

Lol'd at the beginning "Let's change the topic." "Why don't u die?" XDXDXD

Kazuhito is funny as a dog XD Didn't expect him to die that brutally though.

OP and ED are funny and they have a lot of characters who seem interesting. Can't wait to see them in action :)

Loving the Idol already XD

Will definitely follow :D

That was a good start , i liked the comedy. But there were some things i didn't liked that i have to point out:

-They didn't show MC's face completely , I found that an unreasonable and stupid thing to do.
-OP was boring , ED was okay.
-About the animation , nothing special I guess.

Yeah, I agree that was just plain lazy. I don't know if they were trying for a 'mysterious' feel or something but to do that they didn't need to cover his face. I really wish they didn't do that.

Pretty slow and boring for a comedy <_< it's repetitive as hell, they made the same senseless joke 20 times in one only episode...

Its probably just me, and I hate me for being so sensitive about that, but I cant stand seeing the female MC harass the dog :x probably because I have the exactly same dog at home...

Other than that, it was okay, I guess. Not that outstanding, but I am willing to see where this show goes.

I may be watching this just because there's a dog. I have a bad feeling this show will use "flat-chest" jokes to death... but that seems to be an unfortunate staple in most animes anyway.
I wasn't really laughing at all, but I thought it was cute.
Let's see if this can hold my interest past three episodes.

I didn't find it to be a problem. It seems to be related to that aversion that anime has of showing the face of the dead, so perhaps it was a very unsubtle foreshadowing?

Anyway, this was really quite enjoyable. I came into it with low expectations but it was suprisingly funny. Both of the MC's seem interesting. Also, as he's a dog it can't turn into a harem!!!

Alright just watched the episode.. 3/5 if they repeat the same content for the next 2 weeks I'm dropping it. The only twist that I found interesting was that the girl turned out to be the famous author.

- The girl was about to get shot and didn't flinched.. and she didn't gave a shit when the guy tried to saved her and died.
- More interested in books than his own family or him being dead.
- Hopefully the jokes of "I'll kill you" / "die" with the mc don't last all 12 episodes (I don't even see myself lasting this long).

How do you get shot point-blank, in the face, with a shotgun, and not have your head splatter across the room?

Hmm. Natsuno reminds me of Urabe from Mysterious Girlfriend X.
Though it really bothered me how she didn't lift a finger in the diner. Just continued to write.

There better be a good explanation for that. She doesn't seem like she is a bad person, and she feels a bit of guilt.

4.5/5

Like the artstyle, the opening and ending are really good.

As to the writer in the cafe, she was in the zone and ignoring all that was around her. I've been there so I know what it feels like. Of course a shotgun going off right beside you would send you out of that so with the first shot she should have responded!

I think the reason why she wanted to kill the dog was that his voice was constantly in her head for a few days. It would drive me nuts! Of course once she realised who was in the dog she had a slight change of heart. She still seems to find him annoying though. She seems to have a pretty huge ego and probably rightly so as a best selling author.
