Remember everything that was awesome about the first season? Well, take that, triple it, and run it at high speed from start to finish, and you have this episode.

Easily the best episode yet, funny, action packed, and just in general loads and loads of fun.

Also...YUUSHA BECKY! She's going to be the hero for Ao-chan's squirrel Kingdom! I CANNOT CONTAIN ALL MY LOVES

And of course Nanami totally thinks this is the coolest thing ever, and is all about being Leon-hime's hero.

-CHOCOBOS! I didn't know this was a Final fantasy tie-in.
-Princess of delicious crumbly cookies.
-Another "character pulled from Earth into a fantasy world" story? God damn it. I have seen that show 50 times already.
-*OP* Eh this could be enterta-- SQUIRREL GIRL! You have my attention.
-Cats in ties!
-Has that one girl been summoned by a lesbian catgirl?
-There's a dog girl that looks like a cross between Madoka & that bug summoner from StrikerS.
-This boy's voice is familiar. I think I hate it. Why do I hate it?
-Harem: acquired. Tails: wagging.

-People turn into plushie blobs when hit... whut?
-It's turned into a Disgaea stage. Or maybe a SRW cut scene.
-"Would you like to join my lesbian harem-- err I mean be a kitten hero?"
-Nope I was wrong. It's Dynasty Warriors.
-Squirrel girl has a crush on earth girl.

Well that was weird. Squirrel girl was promising though. The field day fighting & politics don't make a lick of sense though. Not sure if I want to watch more.

It would make a lot more sense if you'd watched season 1

I told him elsewhere that he's not allowed to talk to me about Dog Days' until he watches the first season. If I read one "this is dumb because I don't know what is going on" comment in reference to something explained in the first season, I'm gonna have to choke a bitch.

Even just the first episode would explain most of that setting stuff. I mean, he should watch the rest anyway just because its cute and awesome and stuff, but I'm pretty sure episode 1 takes care of all or most of explaining how the fighting and politics of the stuff works.

Ahahaha, Shinku doesn't give Rebecca and particularly Nanami any preparation at all. "We're going on a trip. Your escort will be arriving soon. Oh BTW, we're going to another world via portal. LOL"

Nanami's reaction to seeing a big battle: "I wanna play tooooooo!!!" And then she gets a stupidly awesome entrance scene.

OH GOD YES, the cute squirrel girl is voiced by Yuuki Aoi!!!!!! And Becky's going to become her hero! THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.

The ED is very cute. Haha, Nanami is surfing. And Becky gets a broom to fly on. Oh right, I'll have to remember to watch after the ED each episode for the cute little illustrations and comments.

So yeah, its more of the Dog Days I already liked quite a bit, except its already several times as awesome.

[something]

Episode 1:

- Millhiiiiiii!!! <3 <3 You are simply the cutest inumimi ever.
- Ah yes, another Mizuki Nana OP. It sounds like... another 70,000-90,000 singles sold. But really it's a fun song, her stuff always is. And wait what the fuck, is Becky going to become a hero too? She's got the outfit and everything. Nanami and Becky? Holy shit yes please!

- Haha oh wow, he hasn't told Becky anything.
- FUCK YEAH LEON-HIME.
- Convenient loss of consciousness for Becky.
- Ahahah, I love Becky so much. "Yeah it's pretty but the islands are floating and the sky is purple"...
- How long are you guys going to leave Becky feeling completelty overwhelmed?

- KotobukiBunny! <3
- "...a government-funded athletic festival!" Bwhaha.
- Becky: O_O
- Nanami: HOLYFUCKLETMEIN!
- I fucking love that the totally over the top battles have gotten more over the top.
- Ah yes, more exploding clothes. Thank you, Rico!
- Was there a lot of the chibi stuff ion season one? I can't remember but it's so cute.
- Becky's introduction, looooooooove~

- YUUKI AOIIIIIIIII!!!! Hahah, her hyper-cute voice is perfect for a squirrel girl. A squirrel girl who has every intention of claiming Becky. =D

Give me moooooooooooooooooooore! Fuuuuuck this season is going to be so awesome.

And I really like Hocchan's ED>

This is obviously the seiyuugasm show fo the season, not that I expected any less from Dog Days.

YUUSHA BECKY is quite the surprise. That was not hinted at at all in any of the previews.

Especially with that (fucking awesome) Nanami/Becky Megami pinup. I figured this was implying Beck would end up with Leon-hime and Nanami would be playing her protector and all. That's a full out hime-carry right there, complete with holding one removed shoe. But instead, Becky is going to be a hero? Fuck yes.

But I have to wonder what the heck she'll do. Cinque and Nanami are just crazy athletic, and while being in Flonyard enhances that, it's still their innate abilities that are being expanded upon. Just going to Flonyard doesn't make a normal person superhuman. So for Becky, I'm trying to remember if there were any hints in season one that she was, physically-speaking, special (besides being hot). Millhi mentioned archery or firearms, so they seem to be taking her lack of physical prowess into consideration already. Was she supposed to be really smart? Perhaps a mage... her costume choice doesn't really give anything away.
