[Anime] Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou/ Dog & Scissors: Ep 1

Every Dog Has His Day

You guys, I relate to the protagonist so much, it hurts. While he might be completely into erotic fiction, I find that I have the same feels over several different author works. Imagine if I were to die before A Song of Ice and Fire was finished and I never got to read it! Ah!

Anyway, this guy, this hermit guy who sits at home and reads and reads and reads to bursting, is at a diner one day minding his own business.  A robber violently holds up the restaurant. During an altercation between a girl in another booth, who clearly gives no fucks about the robber and continues furiously writing, our main character is shot in the head.

But, he doesn't want to die, he want's to finish the last in his favorite series and it hasn't even been published yet! His will for erotic literature is so strong that he is reborn as a small wiener dog. Where he is stuck in a cage and cared for by a man with an afro and given nothing to read.

The girl from the diner can hear him in her head and comes to adopt him and be perfectly creepy about it.

He still laments over his books. But, surprise! She has a huge library and in a double shymalan, she's his favorite writer. So he demands she finish the book, but she has no inspiration. Her life is full of interesting outlets in order for her to learn about the world and write well rounded people, but there's no spark. Well, without that book, he's not dying so he hunkers down and makes the best of it.

Agh! This anime is so weird. Indescribable! Fun, but way out there. All of the dog's emotions are expressed in his hair tuft. Flashbacks to his human form show him in very little detail. The author is a wacky sadist, or perhaps just an author? She's way weird, either way.

Highly recommended just on how weird it is. Going to keep going with this one.
