Dog and Scissors is an anime as the title states, it is anime about a dog living with a woman with penchant for scissors. It is anime that I believe the creators were interested in simply trolling the audience more than anything. It wasn’t a marketing push, it wasn’t fan service, it was simply unabated trolling.

Story
Your initial impressions of this anime would be, so this is going to be a serious anime but then you quickly see how it becomes weird, pointless, stupid and ridiculous. Honestly, besides the first episode the rest become nonsensical and ridiculous, there is no story, it is nothing more than ... a bunch of plot holes grouped together to make each episode.

Art
You really think that the creators who created an anime to simply troll the audience would bother with art? Think again, nothing remarkable, not that anything could have been created to be remarkable with the premise of the story as horrible as this.

Sound
Other than to say there was indeed sound, nothing remarkable or good. In fact the sound made it worse. Don’t think it would have been such a bad anime if it was a silent one.

Characters
I hate them all. I really do. They all suck.

Enjoyment
I enjoyed when I stopped watching it.

Overall
10/10 for trolling
0/10 of being anything remotely watchable.

This is one of the most overrated anime out there. Unlike many other anime this one takes a more serious tone but it really devolves into just being an anime that includes the elements that are present in more serious anime rather than tell a good story.

Story

The story itself is broken into three arcs, this is problematic and would cause the story to suffer. The background of the story that a sudden outbreak in a few people obtaining telekinesis powers results in dystopian feudalistic future. The story talks about a few characters and their lives in school and then as adults and their ... understanding of the world and interactions.

The anime sets up a premise that has pretty big flaws, ones that it doesn't really address or even provide any sort of explanation for. It simply establishes that somehow people with telekinesis wouldn't continue to wage war among themselves. There is no explanation of what would be created to limit destructive behavior, the viewer would have to simply make a guess.

Because of the 3 arc format, it means that a lot of elements of the story are just thrown at audience rather than developed. This makes the story appear to be a cliff note version, with elements rapidly introduced and then removed to make room for other ones.

Of the three arcs the first one is remotely watchable, the other two are either weird or boring. The first one explains the world that the characters inhabit and gives away the entire plot, which is government doing shady things. The problem is that because of the formatting or because of the creator’s wish to create an anime that is more “unique” than well developed the plot doesn’t exactly fit, as the explanations for this “shady” behavior isn’t all that shady. The second arc is focused on romance but because of the 3 arc format the story is hastily thrown in together with the characters acting in odd ways making the whole 2nd arc simply odd, weird and just overall pointless. The third arc simply confirms what the audience learned in the first arc, the government does shady things, but not really.

Art

I cannot say that there is anything all that good about the art. It wasn’t bad just nothing remarkable and interesting. There was a possibility of creating some interesting art but it wasn’t done.

Sound

The sound is where this anime does well. The music chosen is pretty spot on but not without its imperfections. That is the music at times is used to create a tense situation when the situation wasn’t tense at all and simply made the whole feeling weird.

Character

Because of the 3 arc format the character development is pushed into hyper mode creating major jumps. Nothing interesting is about the characters, they all are their own stereotypes and simply are boring. They don't develop in any sort of way.

Enjoyment

This anime was one that showed a lot of promise but because the creators wanted to create a unique anime than a good one meant that whole thing just seemed more of a marketing push than anything.

Overall

It is crap, elements are just thrown in with little to no explanation and everything about this anime was focused on creating a unique one.

This is one of the worst animes out there, almost as worse as any lollicon. It is truly a horrific type of anime that even the creators have received a lot of backlash for creating it.

Story

The story is absolutely ridiculous, a 15 year old believes that her issue is the fact that she is a virgin and that she must get rid of it post-haste. Each episode follows a particular cookie-cutter formula, girl wants guy, guy wants girl, both don't understand each other and are unable to go any further because either they are too shy or because of the situation. It is funny and ... entertaining at first but because it is so cookie-cutter repetitive it becomes annoying real fast.

Characters

Never have I watched an anime and my favorite character was the mop in a corner. None of the characters here are likeable whatsoever. The protagonist is highly unlikeable and this isn't an accident it is meant to be that way by the show's creators. This is almost always a problem, you really can't have a story around a character that is made to be hated. The guy/love interest of the protagonist, is an idiot. The female protagonist friends are all too stupid to tell the protagonist needs mental help, seriously they recognize the problem that the protagonist has problems, their reaction is only to act disgusted. Never have I wished for a mop to become alive and murder all the characters. Go mop!

Music

Nothing really notable honestly.

Art

Again nothing really significant, the anime never was made to be anything remotely thoughtful.

This is an anime that will cause you try and drown yourself in a pool of bleach. It is completely awful to watch, more painful than driving rusty nails through your eyes. School Days is a better anime than this in that at least some of the demented characters get killed. This anime, sadly, doesn't have this wonderful ending.

Story: An indecisive dumbass attracts a bunch of dumbass females. The plot here is literally the indecisiveness. That's not a story, that's shit.

Sound: Unfortunately there is sound, I wish it was silent with no subtitles or anything.

Character: Amazing character development as to how fucking stupid they can ... be.

Enjoyment: Alcohol tested, it fails.

This is an experimental anime, specifically what kind of anime would you produce while under heavy influence of methamphetamine. But this anime appears to have required a copious amount of the said drug.

Story: Nonsensical, really anything that resembles a plot is just there by accident.

Art: Nope

Sound: There is indeed sound, not good but it is there.

Character: It appears that the character being so demented that it is an accurate reflection of the creator. A deranged psychotic writer.

... Enjoyment: Nope nor does using drugs and alcohol help.

Overall: It is crap, really poor execution into something that could have been done better but it is shit full nonsense of an anime.

Taking anime is groundbreaking in that it takes beyond immensely idiotic to whole new levels. The first start of this anime isn't bad, it seems like it would be a serious one with an actual plot, whether good or bad. But it then devolves into a myriad of mindless sexual innuendo with no concern whatsoever regarding the plot.

The issue isn't the fact this is an ecchi anime but the fact that it lacks any sort of plot. It is just a collection of sexuality with no assembles of anything near logical. There is no music in this, characters aren't developed if to even say that ... there is anything close to being called a character. Story? What,story. You can't even make sense of what is going on.

This anime always amazes me, as to how the fuck it managed to get so many seasons. I get what kind of anime it is but it would appear that the creators, producers and directors had the following priorities

1. Nudity
2. Some More Nudity
3. A Little More Nudity
4. Much More Nudity
5. Some Kind of Plot

With the 5th one not really making it into there. Nudity isn't the issue here but honestly beyond that there isn't anything else. The main protagonist is (literally) obtains power through his own deranged perversion.

Prison School is much better than this crap, it had interesting characters, scenarios, comedy all well put together. ... This is just shit.

Do you long for the days of highschool teenage angst and being a complete moron? Well, good news then, you need help and this anime would fit you. If you are somewhere or anywhere remotely close to being a well adjusted individual then look somewhere else. If you are in that group well, my condolences.

The characters here are completely unlikable and horrendous with no redeeming quality, so much so that you long for a School Days ending to them all. The whole situation here honestly becomes annoying where drama is created for the sake of drama.

You know how much of a shitty anime this ... is? Both English and Japanese versions have acting that is considered to be completely monotonous, flat and stupid. Doesn't help the situation that they switch from stereo sound to mono.

The music chosen was down right piss poor.

It's a story as old as time, a boy falls in love with a girl, who then turns out to be a dragon spaceship but he decides to still fuck the said spaceship.

Anyways, story is crap, characters are crap and no amount of alcohol will make this any close to being watchable. it is an absurd setting and honestly is the most idiotic nonsense of an anime ever.

The female protagonist here killed the male protagonist's family for fun while the "mother" wants to destroy the earth. The music in this anime isn't well though out and the characters are moronic and annoying. The only hope ... is for them to be all sent into the sun.
