More like weeks, verging on months.

Impressions:

Oh, apparently he didn't die last week after all. Talk about a disappointment. And stacked upon that was spending the first 10% of the episode… two minutes and goddamned change, having him sit in bed while the stupid cat goes ahead and recaps/explains everything. Storytelling! Actually, that would be how nearly all of the episode went; Doofus stood there like a moron while idiots delivered exposition. What does it all boil down to? "Evil magic dogs are evil. Berserk demon maids are berserk." This is absolutely something that required nearly two whole episodes to cover. So… business as usual. Why allow the visuals or even a sentence or two to suffice when we can explain, over explain, over over explain, repeat, recap the repeat, and then over explain some more?

It wouldn't be until eighteen goddamned minutes into the episode that they actually got back to the dog. Not that it stopped the endless torrent of exposition. That continued on for another minute until unconsciousness finally took over and we could just do the "scream at them to come to their senses" thing. At least the budget they obviously didn't spend on the first 19 minutes of the episode went into murdering a bunch of dogs in honestly fairly decent fashion, but then they had to screw that up too with a ridiculous 45 seconds of slow mo to try to end the episode on one of its token cliffhangers. And even if they hadn't literally drawn that out for nearly a minute, the barely animated, going nowhere, absolute nothingness that comprised the tedious plodding affair that was the rest.
