Also joining the summer 2012 line-up is
Dog Days 2, airing in Japan from July - as announced today on the anime series' official
website. The second season's
key visual is also being displayed there, and - best of all - the
first trailer that you can also watch locally, after first being shown this weekend at the 2012 Anime Contents Expo (ACE).

Like the first
Dog Days TV anime from last year, Dog Days 2 is again created by studio Seven Arcs (
Nanoha,
Sekirei,
Asura Cryin'), based on a concept from manga artist Masaki Tsuzuki - best known for the Lyrical Nanoha A's and StrikerS manga adaptations and a couple of other Nanoha spin-offs.
In the original story, Princess Millhiore of the Biscotti Republic decides to summon a brave warrior from an alternate world to defend her country from the neighboring fiefdom of Garrett. But the "brave warrior" turns out to be a boy named Sink - a name predestined to epic faildom.
