I like to imagine I'm the pillow she's hugging. God I'm so pathetic.

Dog Days' (Dash)
Seven Arcs basically faced a pretty straightforward choice when making the second season of Dog Days. The first season was very light and fluffy, much like the collection of tails the various characters have. For the second season, it simply came down to whether they should take it in a more serious direction, or just keep it mindbreakingly fun. To sum it up: Seven Arcs chose option 2.
So the second season of Dog Days is just like the first, only even more. Despite the already healthy ensemble cast of the first season, the second season manages to overstuff the cast with a huge number of new characters. There's pretty much a tail for everyone in the second season, in addition to the dogs and the cats, this season adds squirrels. Naturally the number of new faces in the cast earn a significant amount of screen time, and some of the side characters in the first season often find themselves reduced to little more than cameo roles. This is unfortunate, especially if you were a fan of the Wakamoto-voiced Godwin in the first season.
The cast of Dog Days' (Dash) would like to see you soon!
All pretenses of a serious story that were briefly seen in the first season are now thoroughly wiped away in season 2. The whole 13 episodes run feels like a big party where the viewer is invited to enjoy as much of calling out your moves, energy blast explosions, very fluffy tails, and light harem and romantic comedy as you can handle. And then the show just pours on even more. Idoru Millhi does a concert three times this season. If you are incapable of enjoying yourself at least a little during this show, I'm sorry but you'd better check your pulse. You're probably dead.
As an aside, this show has very strange and random attention to detail. For whatever reason, Flonyard has it's own entirely defined written language, which you can see throughout the show. I don't even know why exactly such a thing is necessary, but there it is. If you wanted to learn the language of the many kemonomimi races of Flonyard, you most certainly can. Then you can write your love letters to any or all of Millhi, Rico, Eclair, Brioche, Yukki, Leo-sama, Gaul (?), Couvert, Noir, Jaune, Vert, Violetta, and anybody else in their language. Ah, the wonders of Japan.
I can't imagine myself recommending Dog Days' to anyone who hasn't at least seen the first and enjoyed it. It's more of the same, with an emphasis on more. If you did enjoy the first season, well chances are you already watched this second season while it was airing. If you haven't seen the first or second seasons, well, you should. Anyone who is still capable of just enjoying anime, and who still loves watching anime, owes it to themselves to take a look. Just don't come back and blame me when you want to touch some fluffy tails too.
Dog Days' (Dash)
Final Rating: 9 out of 10 Fluffy Tails
That's so adorable.

How prevalent is Yoko Hikasa's character?

Brioche D'Arquien is a major side character who gets significant screen time in both seasons. She's not as awesome as her partner Yukikaze though, as you'll soon see. Yukki's got the epic fun bags.
Someone posts self-insert fan art in 3, 2, 1 ...
Back to school, half-term wasn't long enough, ugh. But new class!

I should not fail to mention that the voice of Yukikaze (Kana Asumi) is the voice of Nyaruko. She's also the voice of Yuno in HidaSketch.
Fun fact: a number of the characters in Dog Days have a sentence-ending catchphrase or distinctive way of speaking.
Rico - de arimasu
Brioche and Yukki - de gozaru
Leo-sama - masculine tone
Couvert - Kansai-ben
- nano-desu (similar to Rika Furude from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)

I wanna draw something new, but I've already got like 2 things I need to finish already. I'll probably go back to the swimsuit one just because it would probably take less time than the Paper style ones.

Man, I come to this thread to avoid all that political garbage.
Last one?

That was a lot longer ago than I thought though. And looking back, I wonder what ever happened to AnathemicOne.
I really want the Mugi PM to be done but you never have too many drawings!
I was too busy to attempt anything last week, but I still want to get something done.
Not quite as bad as what I was picturing after Watanabe's comment. I guess some people just really like the characters? Uh... whatever floats your boat and all that good stuff.

I kinda want to draw something Christmas-y, but if I want to get it done in time, I'd have to start on it now. lol
Did you see the next one?

Ah, memories.
I'm now going to cry in a corner.
You can't spell best without Mugi

I've still got the omnibus sitting around that I need to read. Really wish I had more time for manga...just not enough hours in the day.
Mugi is ALWAYS the correct choice.
Damn, browsing those pages made me wish I was here from the start. I could have contributed so much nonsense.
OY! Don't go fixing what isn't broke!

I knew I liked you!
Likewise...especially considering you post all of these great Mugi pics and gifs
. More to add to the collection.I'm sure the Mugi army would be benevolent enough to allow for a paper Ritsu to happen. In due time, of course.
And after Yui since she's my second favorite .

Yes, eventually...
amishpriest99

Agreed
. We love all the K-ON! girls! Or at least I do. Just Mugi, Yui and Ui a little more so .Ehhh? But I kinda wanted to fight the Mugi armyin Third Strike Online.
Ewwww. Don't play shitty fighting games.

That kinda reminds me of the little sketch I did of Mugi yesterday. To lazy right now to find it.
Another time, another place. You won't find us, we'll find you!
And the only recent fighter I own is DOA5,
and seeing as its a sealed limited edition, I'm not keeping it.
*Looks off into the distance, wistfully*
I wish I could. For personal, time consuming reasons I got to sit this election out.....
I want Mio.
Anyone wanna do some fighting game fighting hit me up in DOA5 and get Ayane-d!
I said Third Strike, that's about as good as it gets. Clearly you misread it, all is forgiven. I still love you.
*waits*
If only there were gifting on PSN...
Didn't you used to have a Noel avatar? What about 'das BlazinBlues?
^ I do. I change my avatar every 2 days lol. I suck at Blazblue and free. I'm mostly invested in the series because of the story.
Nope, she didn't misread.

See, I don't understand, because you go and say something like this:
Then you go and say something like this:
Which is just factually wrong in every possible instance of time. You and me, Esura, we're gonna throw down!

i'm such a bad commander for not picking one of them clearly.
i'll probably be in Mugi mode by the time the drawings are done due to how slow i'm going with my k-on rewatch (i'm at like s2 ep 9 but i began in early september lol). though, if i get in gear and reach the JuRitsu eps earlier, it is more likely i'll be in Ritsu mode.
