《Under The Dog》是在“OTAKON 2014”上宣布制作并公开进行网络募资的原创SF动作惊险动画，由KINEMA CITRUS负责制作，2016年8月1日开始发行。 2025年，从毁灭性的恐怖袭击导致的2020年东京奥运会终止开始，联合国控制了之前东京奥运会在东京湾边界的会址地区，并使之脱离了日本的管制。 17岁的冬月花是住在这片地区的一名高中生，但她的身份绝非普通，暗地里，她是联合国特殊部队的一员。花以一名转学生的身份被派往江之岛上的一所公立高中执行特殊任务。 她的目标是，七濑俊一，一个和她在一个班上的男生。 然而正当花准备与她的目标联系时，一个中年男子突然出现在学校并寻找俊一。与此同时情况直转而下，美国派出了特种部队到了这所学校来追捕那名中年男子。 当血滩扩散开来之时，另一名少女开始设法进入这个岛来打破现在的僵局。
In this season, the show went back to airing one new episode a week, but stayed in the hour-length format, filling up the second half-hour with episodes from previous seasons and some of the prime-time specials from the 1980s. This entire season, along with the second half of season 6, is available on Garfield and Friends: Volume 5 DVD set. Also worth noting is that here, a new theme song was added that was written by J.R. Johnston and Neil Panton. The theme was sung by J.R. Johnston. This theme song was not shown internationally, and as a result, it does not appear on the DVDs (although Garfield's quotations are kept intact). This new introduction sequence used most clips from Seasons 5-7 and a few from the first two seasons, as well as Garfield in Paradise and Garfield's Feline Fantasies. The episodes stopped using a few seconds of the theme playing in the episode title cards after season seven's fourth episode; music from the episodes were used in the title cards until the show ended, even though season six used music from some of their episodes.
