Review of A Girl & Her Guard Dog

The spectrum of anime inevitably has some problems presented with age gaps which create a wide variety of portrayals of romance from what can be a healthy relationship to downright disgusting, A Girl and Her Guard Dog represents the single worst romance portrayal on that spectrum I've ever seen. It's impossible to review this anime without pointing just how uncomfortable the clear difference in the two main character's lives is brought up throughout multiple points in the show. Moments ranging from talking about her growing into her body or posing nude for a 6 year old seem insane when the author could have very easily createdthe same story with two characters around the same age.

Besides that main glaring flaw there are also problems with bad animation, characters that are annoying, and an attempted rape that gets written off for seemingly no reason?

I could not recommend an anime to NOT watch more than this mess. Avoid at all costs.
