![]() The distinctive scene selected for this beautiful work of animation happened to be Millhiore’s concert, featuring numerous different shots involving complex choreography and lighting effects. ![]() Only recently have I started to learn about and understand sakuga, with almost all the credit going to Washi for his devotion toward the subject, so I was excited to see a sakuga scene near the end of this episode. The eleventh episode of Dog Days presented an impressive sakuga scene full of lively animation and thorough motions. The anime has been able to avoid a rushed or incomplete ending, although there are still the details remaining about Shinku’s return home (which we had foreshadowed with Ricotta) and the relationships between Shinku and his two crushes, Millhiore and Eclair. It’s nice to see an anime take its time and cover all its holes before it finally reaches the end. Without these somewhat uneventful or meaningful scenes, the relationships would begin to feel stale and forced, unlike what we’ve seen in Dog Days so far. And having scenes like this is appropriate for Dog Days, too. I’m glad the anime is taking the time to have the characters interact with each other like this rather than simply forcing them to say their farewells and then rush onto the next agenda point before the screen goes black at the 24 th minute. Seeing these characters together is ideal in the sense that you see their relationships continue naturally, or Shinku, perhaps end. I see this as having a positive effect on the conclusion of Dog Days. It just reinforces the already dominant themes of friendship and lightheartedness. We also see everyone gathered together which is highly recommended, nay a requirement, for simple anime like these. There were some relationships that were likely concluded, such as the one between Shinku and Rolan, as well as some final moments together, such as between Shinku and Eclair, spending time together at the matsuri/festival. While lacking in excitement and stimulation, the episode began the long process of saying good-bye. And that calls for a celebration with everyone coming together and having a good time, including all the major characters from both kingdoms. With that, Leonmichelle sees no point in continuing with the war since the soothsaying turned out to be incorrect and Millhiore is alive and healthy. ![]() After slaying the demon sword, the environment brightens signaling the end of the menace. The eleventh episode of Dog Days returned to normal with the relaxing, non-threatening, and cheerful atmosphere the series has strived on. So how is this anime using its wisely budgeted time? Dog Days, however, allotted two full episodes to tell its conclusion, which is an intelligent move since it can now try to avoid these mistakes. Some end up being rushed, forgoing major details in storytelling in order to wrap up the show in the limited time given while others feel incomplete, leaving holes in the plot that could potentially be fatal to an anime. A common miscalculation with many anime is that the ending is a disappointment.
