A Decent Review of A Girl Her Guard Dog 700https://thetv.jp/i/nw/1167534/12383878.jpg Obligatory spoilers mark CHARACTERS Senagaki Isaku is the storys main heroine whose parents died when she was just 5 years old and been under her grandfathers care ever since. Uto Keiya serves as our secondary protagonist and Isakus overprotective legal guardian working for her grandfather as a professional highschool cosplayer. STORY Much to Isakus dismay being the granddaughter of a Yakuza boss always resulted in her being unable to achieve what she desired the most which is forming meaningful human bonds and living an average life. Instead she got people who constantly ditch her once they learn her real situation and an overprotective idiot whos mental capacity is actually around that of a dogs. 700https://stat.ameba.jp/userimages/20231006/00/kinniku4021/95/1b/j/o0640036015347123429.jpg Not much into the series we learn that Keiyas overprotectiveness is in fact not without any necessity as Isaku regularly finds herself in dangerous situations that could easily result in serious mental or physical damage or could even cost her her life. As the story progresses it becomes clear that its not just Isaku who has no idea how to move forward but Keiya himself as well because while he is sure in his feelings towards her because of his tunnel vision regarding his duties and the personality that comes with that he regularly struggles in finding a way to close the space between them. THE VISUALS Probably the shows main weakness as while the general style gives enough character and agency to the anime sometimes it feels really stale and lowquality but thats more like the studio project No.9s characteristic. THE AGE GAP People around Isakus age regularly showed her coldness twofacedness or just wanted to use her without any care that resulted in Isaku being a little naiv and untrusting towards them at the same time. And while there is a pretty big age gap between her and Keiya its nothing out of ordinary and he regularly demonstrates that hes not abusing his position as an older person or steps over the line Isaku sets and serves as a stable pillar in her life as she goes on to spread her wings and become more independent. SUMMARY While some aspect of the story feel rushed and having a longer run could have helped with exploring details in more depth while simultaniously uncovering them in a pace that feels less like a walk from A to B Ojou to Bankenkun still delivers a cute love story with some pretty funny elements and deserves a honest 8/10. 700https://pbs.tw.com/media/GB1vygbaAAAv53c.jpg
