Dog Days #12 — Heavy Petting
June 18th, 2011
These animal people let anybody touch their ears.
Impressions:
Well, that was lame. Another episode of absolutely nothing going on. Rico was just crying in a corner last week about Shinku leaving foreeeeever without remeeeeeeeembering things. Ha. Give me a break, Seven Arcs. And once that’s dealt with, it’s just putzing around doing random things and thanking people. And that’s really about it. Oh sure, we learn random ‘fascinating’ tidbits, like Yukikaze’s rack really is apparently literally divine, but come on… we still have a prophecy of "THESE PEOPLE WILL BE FACE DOWN IN BLOOD GRAPE JUICE IN A MONTH. THIS FUTURE WILL NOT CHANGE" hanging over our heads here. They can’t really be trying to sell that that future was changed by… I don’t even know what.
Given Seven Arcs’ previous shenanigans with unannounced split seasons, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the show’s not actually over next week at all (other shows are beginning in its timeslot the week after though), but I could just be rationalizing the hell out of the fact that the writing here is just so unambitious that it hurts. At least shows like C and T&B are trying. Failing miserable by their inability to focus long enough to pass a sobriety test, but trying nonetheless. This is just empty space… little more than head rubbing, playing fetch, tail wagging, and all-but recycled bathing scenes. At least mix up who Shinku walks in on and then has to pet. Yukikaze looks soft. Pet her.

The simplest way to counter a prophecy is to try to recreate the scene as it looks (doing it at a specified time is harder, but possible with coordination/strategy) so it’s under controlled circumstances. Do they even know about this prophecy yet? I mean, knowing is half the battle.
