Poor Hana ;_; I got teary eyed every time she was shaking. Animals aren't like humans...even if the mom was busy with other duties and errands, she couldn't even see the signs that Hana was stressed. At least she still cares for Hana and went to get a check-up.

Miyu though, I was like, no way, is he going to eat the dog foo- And then he did :'D Hana is so precious, glad she finally ate some food! Wasn't expecting this to be a two episodes, but Hana's adorable, and I'm interested to see if she can learn to eat the kibbles from her bowl.

Mixed feeling for this one ...

Basically it's a redo of an earlier ep (the one with the mother afraid of the dog) BUT this one put the shame on the woman.
Hey, she's a slave, she can't do everything alone but the family (and the shitty noisy brats) doesn't do jack shit not caring at all ...

Best advice would be "drop the child, drop the husbando and stay with the dog, he's the only one knowing you're here" but the show putting the blame on the woman (while the earlier ep clearly showed how the lazy family was responsible for the mess) ... nope, doesn't sit right, she is SO disrespected it's unsettling.
The woman doesn't have to spare a few minutes for the dog, the whole family (the guy reading the paper and the noisy monkeys) must get their head out of their asses and gave back the hours lost everyday by the mother.

Other than that, good ep about how problematic feeding a dog can be. And they didn't talk about female dog when they have their periods, that too could make them VERY picky ...

An ok episode. Decent subject, but very predictable.

Anyway, reaching the halfway mark for this show seems like a good place for me to drop it.

Certainly the "best" anime I drop so far. It deals with interesting topics of dog care, but unfortunately, I'm just not a dog person. And unlike other educational shows, it doesn't have any comedy to keep a good pace, so it gets really slow at times.
Characters aren't very interesting. They have their role and get the job done.

It had a few episodes I was invested in, but the majority was boring for me. And I got better things to do with my time than go through another four hours of this experience, as I don't believe this show will have any major change in the second half.
I believe to enjoy this show you either have to be in an appropriate situation where the knowledge presented actually helps you with your dog or love dogs so much you want to watch every dog show and have already seen every season of Lassie out there.

All in all, it's 5/10.

Or, alternatively, in my case, just be a Slice of Life fan with a lot of free time on your hands.

@WatchTillTandava That works too! If I had more time I'd finish it aswell.
