Dog Signal Episode 9 Review - How to Train Your Singe
First off, I want to apologize. In my review of the first episode of Dog Signal, I said that Singe is a mini poodle. He’s not; he’s actually a Toy Poodle. So, I’ll be using Toy Poodle when talking about Singe’s breed going forth.
Tumblr media
If Miyu wants to become a dog trainer, the first thing he really needs to do is to train his own dog, Singe. Singe has been in the back burner for far too long. It’s been six episodes since he last got focus. I know that focusing on other dogs is to help Miyu grow as a dog trainer, but it would’ve been best for him to get to know his dog first before learning about other dogs. Well, better late than never, I guess.
Singe is very rambunctious and mischievous. I’m not sure if all toy poodles are like this as puppies; I wouldn’t know because I adopted my two mini poodles when they were already adult dogs. However, the tsundere aspect of Singe is something I see in one of my dogs. She acts cold and tends to bark a lot towards others but is super loving and doting towards me. So, yes, poodles can be tsunderes. However, I do like that Singe is behaving like an actual dog and not a personified version of a dog. It’s hard work to raise one.
Though, I do think that the problem with Singe’s behavior lies with Miyu. Miyu is very hasty and impatient, which is why he’s trying out different methods to get Singe to learn commands quickly. All he needs is to realize that he needs to take time to bond with Singe in order for him to become obedient. I do like that Miyu isn’t shown to be perfect most of the time. He’s still new to the world of dogs and has his strengths and weaknesses; his impatience and over confidence are said weaknesses. For strengths, Miyu’s strongest quality is that he’s very observant when it comes to people and dogs. However, watching him trying to command Singe was hilarious and a bit sad. Miyu really does want to get along with Singe, but his dog is a tsundere. I think the hilarious part is when Miyu starts speaking cutely to Singe after it listened to him for the first time. Fortunately, his talent for observation helps in that he understands how Singe behaves. All Miyu needs is to calm down and be patient; once he learns how to do that, he and Singe will be the best of friends.
Niwa is surprisingly a lot nicer in this episode compared to past episodes. While he still calls Miyu an idiot every now and then, he’s not as harsh as he was in past episodes. He dishes out all the informative dog knowledge and then actually praises Miyu for knowing how commands work. I do wonder how much longer it will take for him to be genuinely nice to Miyu.
It was nice seeing the other dogs from the past episodes; though, Ricochet and Mrs. Miyake don’t make an appearance here. I even learned something new! Apparently, Eguchi’s dog Leo always lays down with its hind feet sticking out; that pose is called the female dog pose, apparently. I never noticed it until it was brought up, but my female poodle Angel always lays down like that. Niwa explains that dogs lay down in a position it feels most comfortable with. That’s true because both of my dogs lay down differently, but I left them alone like that because I assumed it was what made them comfortable; I’m glad dog whisperer Niwa agrees with me.
I do hope that after this episode, Singe gets less mischievous later on. It’ll be annoying if there’s another episode dedicated to teaching him how to sit again. Regardless, I learned a lot; this episode feels more informative than before and I enjoyed it. I’m excited for next week’s episode. What are your thoughts on this episode?

Yuki Kadota Reveals Woopatchi was Created from Overseas Sales Team Member
Tumblr media
In the recent Nikkei MJ’s Tamagotchi in 100 Countries article, there was a little gem that you might have looked over! Recently the translated version was provided to us, so now is a good time to read it over in English like we did!
Yuki Kadota, Bandai’s Global Toy Planning Department comments on several things include the popualirty of the Tamagotchi Original in the Western market, the excitement of the Tamagotchi Uni, and how truly unites people from around the globe, and the origin of Woopatchi!
Tumblr media
That’s right, the fan favorite character that premiered on the Tamagotchi Uni, Woopatchi was actually created by a member of their overseas sales team. How awesome is that? They were invited from overseas to help develop the new character!

20 years ago, on this day the first volume of Durarara!! (デュラララ!!) was released in Japan. This volume contains the Dollars/Mika Harima arc, which is the start and readers' first meeting with such a well written plot, complex characters and artsy language.
Happy 20th anniversary to Durarara!! It will be forever my favorite media; no book, anime or manga can come close to the place that Durarara!! has in my heart. It will remain as a unique and one of a kind work, not only to me but to many other readers as well.

Dog Signal Episode 8 Review - Having Two Dogs
I was wondering when an issue regarding multiple dogs would pop up, but I didn’t expect it to happen in this episode. I actually learned a lot about dogs’ behavior when it comes to breeds and social hierarchy. The character of the day, Kadota, was also a real treat to watch.
Tumblr media
The development from the previous episode is implemented here. Niwa calls Miyu by his first name now and Miyu’s knowledge of dogs increase as he is now implementing knowledge he is learning onto the customers. He’s still not ready to train dogs yet, but he’s still improving. I do like that Niwa is being a bit nicer towards Miyu, but he’s still grouchy and rude towards customers. I hope that improves later on because Niwa should stop doing that if he wants to pay rent and such.
I like how energetic Kadota is. She just runs past the dog training center, asks if she could come in, ramble about her dog’s name to Miyu, talk about her problems and then peaces out. She’s very free-spirited. She happens to be the story’s first walk-in customer, so that’s quite a feat in itself. I do find it interesting that while she’s a veteran dog owner, there were still things she was unaware of when it came to her two dogs. It shows that even if you are a long-time dog owner, you will still learn new things when it comes to dogs. I think the most surprising thing about Kadota is the fact that she’s voiced by the one and only Junko Takeuchi. Yes, Naruto Uzumaki is an energetic lady with two dogs—befitting as Naruto has two kids (and one adopted kid). Funny because Minato Namikaze, Naruto’s dad, was in Episode 6 was Niwa’s dad.
Her two dogs are the stars of this episode. She has a 1 year old female Dalmatian named Kumi, written with Kanji, a rarity for dogs as they prefer katakana or hiragana. Kumi was named after a former volleyball coach that she admired. Anyways, Kumi has an issue as she barks excessively whenever the doorbell rings. It turns out that she’s following the commands of Kadota’s other dog, a 5-year-old male Chihuahua named Jeany. The reason why Jeany does this is because he is possessive of Kadota and doesn’t like it when her attention is fixated on other people or dogs. Because he’s too small to chase away Kumi, he made her his subordinate in a way to show off he’s the top dog in the house. Jeany does this so that he can get Kadota’s attention and love while she reprimands Kumi for barking. In all honesty, I find this rather interesting; it’s fascinating to see how a dog’s psyche works. I even learned new things about Chihuahuas that I never knew before.
I honestly don’t like Chihuahuas due to my childhood experience with my cousin’s. She was always barking and chasing me around my cousin’s house whenever I moved around. But now, I understand why she did it. She was territorial and only liked my cousin. It’s strange how an anime made me learn about Chihuahuas’ behaviors. It’s also fascinating in a way to know that dogs can be resocialized. It makes me want to assemble the stroller I bought for my dog and be able to go on longer walks with my dogs; I want to broaden their horizons before they lose their vision completely. Dalmatians are honestly so adorable. I have a fondness for them, but I don’t think I could ever raise one due to me not being an active person while Dalmatians are an active breed. I do like how Jeany has changed in behavior once Kadota started taking him out on walks more.
This was an interesting case and I hope that there will be more cases with multiple dogs soon. It was also nice seeing Mrs. Miyake and Eguchi befriending Kadota. I noticed that the customers that come to Proud Dog have all been female so far; well, Mr. Miyake is an exception since Mrs. Miyake is the main caretaker for Ricochet. Will we get a male customer soon?
Niwa does make a point that if Miyu wants to become a dog trainer, he needs to learn how to train Singe. Singe has been in the back burner for a while, so hopefully, next episode will be focused on him. He needs to be potty trained! What are your thoughts on this episode?
