Dog Days', first half

Been a while since I did a part-way review, hasn't it?

So, Dog Days season two (written Dog Days') continues in the first season's tradition of utter adorability and fan service, and somehow turns both up a little bit.

For the people who are two lazy to read my Dog Days review, the series takes place in an alternate world populated by dog-, cat-, bunny- and, newly appearing in season two, squirrel-people, who summon humans from the real world to be 'heroes' in their wars.  However, the wars in question are more like friendly mass athletic competitions than anything like involving death or really serious injury, instead, you're beaten when your armor (or clothing) is blasted off (thus providing one of the primary forms of fan service).

This time, Shinku (which is being spelled Cinque by the sub group I'm watching, which is as good as anything) has brought two of his friends from the real world to serve as Heroes for two other countries.  Like many second seasons I'm seeing lately, they seem to have the advantage of getting straight to the point and right to the adorability and fan service.

There's just this sense of childish glee and FUN that the show maintains that makes it a joy to watch, if you can watch this show and not grin at it then some part of your soul has died.  Either that or you're too distracted by the jiggling (Yukikaze is made of jello with springs in it, I swear) or the fan service.
