505thAirborne Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Not sure if this was already posted, but this is a new series premiering tonight on Adultswim/Toonami. So far I am definitely enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Toonami has found a winner and I hope it brings in more viewers. I'm glad they also moved the start time to 11:30 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Watched it and my first impression is that I want my half hour back. They went for zany, but only accomplished stupid; not Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo bad, few things in this world are, but up there in the I-feel-soiled-for-watching-this scale.

Jefuemon Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Japanese version is infinitely more funkier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antibiotictab Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The Japanese version is infinitely more funkier. Oh, he is wearing a nostalgic Yokosuka jumper a.k.a. Suka-jan. Ivan Karelin in Tiger & Bunny also puts on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benson13 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Not bad, I'll give it a whirl. Here's the first half of episode 1 w/English subs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs-JdtBgBdM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepariga Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Maybe they should have called it 'Dandy Space Boobies' instead lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuelGundam2099 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pass due to being ecchi junk, if I want to watch this I'll wait until its over and see as many episodes I can at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I was surprised and alittle saddened to see Watanabe's name on the end credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antibiotictab Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Just finished watching the first episode on Tokyo MX TV. A space comedy? And I think the viewer of Kill la kill would enjoy this show. This kind of story reminds me of some nostalgic animes like Yatterman, Urusei Yatsura and Highschool Kimengumi in the 70s and 80s. I was surprised and alittle saddened to see Watanabe's name on the end credits. The narrator is Masaaki Yajima, he is a VA of William Shatner in Star Trek (TOS)... Uki Satake is a member of 9(nine). You know Kanae Yoshii, an actress in Macross the Musicalture, belongs to the same group. The ending theme song was composed by Yoko Kanno. The main mecha designer is Thomas Romain of SATELIGHT. Interesting. Edited January 5, 2014 by antibiotictab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Is that Roy cosplaying Elvis? And womanizing with Hooters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I found the first half of the episode actually pretty amusing. It's like a mix between Outlaw Star and Inferno Cop sprinkled with a bit of Johnny Bravo. The animation and art were pretty good too. Now the question is if the story/plot will be any good. I don't think it's going to be too popular with the hardcore anime community though. There's no high school setting or underage female characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antibiotictab Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I heard Katsuhiro Otomo also joins in this anime. Ah, I see... I noticed this guy has a talisman of Naritasan (成田山). I wondered why, but now I know it. Kaneda's bike, you know? ”成田山” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogze Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 wow, the first episode was really crazy, it made no sense at all and I LOVED it! It seems more like a vehicle for animation and design experiments though than a story based series but I'm expecting it to develop on this rich and colorful universe. It's not for the mainstream anime fans who expected something more like a Cowboy Bebop follow up I guess, but quite refreshing and interesting enough to keep watching.

505thAirborne Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 This is by far one of the better Anime's to come out in a while, normally the stuff on Toonami I don't bother watching. But this one has a very unique quality & attention to detail that I really like, looking forward to next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm hooked to this weird show!! Episode four made me laugh my ass off. The show reminds me a lot of Aeon Flux but in an upbeat crazy comical way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antibiotictab Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm hooked to this weird show!! Episode four made me laugh my ass off. The show reminds me a lot of Aeon Flux but in an upbeat crazy comical way. TBH, I didn't know Æon Flux well, but it actually looks like its animation. And Space Dandy also reminds me of many 70s and 80s animes like Space Cobra, Tatsunoko animes especially Hurricane Polymar, Urusei Yatsura, Highschool Kimengumi and so on. The model of Honey in Boobies is probably Cutie Honey. The episode 4 was really amazing. Yeah... Not being rotten, but fermented... Drink yogurt... Supermarket... Everybody became Zonbie and finally could "live" together in peace... George A Romero... I Loled at midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great anime, anyone else remember to watch tonight? Next weeks episode looks epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogze Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Indeed it looks very promising! Every new episode so far confirms this is one of the best animes I've seen lately. I also wonder at what point is Otomo involved in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The last ep. was the best one yet. A little bit of seriousness and the soundtrack just made it all the much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Where are people watching this show outside of Japan? I'm in the U.S. and I noticed that Funimation is streaming Space Dandy with subtitles, which I prefer. Is Toonami the only other legitimate broadcast and is that dub only?

Keith Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Lupan / Dirty Pair styled comedy/action. If you dig that, then there's nothing not to like about Space Dandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepariga Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 ep 5 was pretty good,more of a grounded feeling. nice to have episodes like this to change the pace somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Finally got around to watching the first two episodes. Damn, this show's high on meth. It's nowhere near the same level as Cowboy Bebop, but Space Dandy makes a name of its own by flooding the screen with psychedelic effects mixed with '70s jazz music. And the cheesy dub actually works with this medium. Off to continue the marathon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I saw it online it did have it. Next episode looks like it was animated by another studio though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDude Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 They might have switched to a Korean studio for the remainder off the season. Not uncommon for a long running anime or at mid-season(13 episodes). Would need to see the following episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
