So, this time, the main character is literally a dog.

Wonder what would be the reaction if it the main girl was the dog.

Looks interesting enough to give it a shot.

I mentioned this before but the main female character really looks like Yuuko imo and probably has troll-like tendencies.

Yuuko is just Yomi, and that's part of the reason I'm gonna check this out.

Zettai Bouei Leviathan is quite a charming little series aswell that's currently airing.

You mean Yomi?

Anyway, I'll skip this. Not into pet abuse or furries, so whichever angle this wants to take won't do anything for me.

I think I may check it out some based on the absurdity alone, but I'm with you on that whole pet-abuse thing. It's a poor little dachshund for crying out loud-- I think that the worst the kid inhabiting it could be is some pervert, so I don't think that warrants all that much abuse... much less from a pair of scissors which, as much of a gag weapon they might be here, could easily kill a dachshund or any other small animal.

It could be just me, but I imagine I saw at least 5 characters from different and older anime in that. An anime version of "Scrap Heap Challange".

Nah, don't think it's just you... come to think of it, the characters really do seem to come from other shows. That idol author girl looks like she could fit reasonably well in Aria the Animation, and I wouldn't bat an eye at the afroed pet-shop owner appearing in Excel Saga, for instance. Huh. Then again, it's an odd protagonist duo in an absurd premise to begin with: a sadistic writer girl that likes scissors and a boy in a dachshund body.

What a waste of effort and talent. And what a dumb story idea. I sure hope Gonzo can get back to making real anime someday. Sigh.
