I can't believe that episode just happened. It was good, but in a very weird way. Glad Dandy saved the day through the power of dance and song. Viva All! That really seemed like an American episode though with the whole 90210 + High School Musical vibe + 1980's Teen Movie. Does Japan have anything comparable to that?

Space Dandy and I share a lot in common; we both love rear end (animated or otherwise)

I have no idea what I just watched but I was smiling most of the time, and the animation was just downright stunning. Just what is their budget?! edit: and that next episode preview!

I was totally waiting for QT to sing. That was awesome. Even if I liked the episode, I wasn't that nuts about the singing and dancing. I think I was expecting something closer to High School Musical, and I got something more like that dance they did at the end of Haruhi Suzumia. ... except for Dandy's booty song, that was some next level poo poo.

I think that Watanabe just has to walk into the Japanese Ministry and stare at someone for a very long time and they give him all the money he wants.

That was a great episode. I am glad it didn't go all too over the board with the singing. Dandy's booty song was the greatest.

Can someone just throw an even bigger pile of money at Watanabe and keep Space Dandy going for the rest of the year? The first season was great but the second season has just been ridiculous in all the best ways.

Oh my god, that episode was an uncontrollable smile and gigglefest all the way through. Absolutely fantastic animation, I think Watanabe really outdid himself with this series, if he keeps this up, this series is soon headed towards 'instant classic' territory. I dont mean to sound hyperbolic, but this series is seriously one of the best case scenarios for anime and reaching a wide audience, I know the term 'Saving Anime' is thrown around, but this series really feels to me like that, it has the wonder, the passion, the action and the funny and awesome parts of all anime, while leaving out all the pretentious, creepy, or too obscure stuff anime tends to lose itself in. The only other studio that approaches that territory nowadays is Trigger, but their problem is that while their cartoons are extremely amazing and awesome, they always shoot themselves in the foot (in terms of reaching a wide audience) with their nonsensically sexual character designs and innuendos that reach super creep territory which I cant recommend to non anime fans without staining my good name in their eyes. thank you, Watanabe, keep this the gently caress up, and you've got something people will put in the same shelf as cowboy bebop.

I don't think anyone could ever deny the skill of Watanabe's overall supervision, the record speaks for itself, but for me the wonderful thing about Space Dandy is that, by his own intent and design, it literally goes above and beyond just him, more than in any other anime series. What we have here is a wonderful anthology of industry talent, a puzzle where dozens of very capable individuals, including people like Shingo Natsume, Kimiko Ueno and all the rotating staff members for each episode, have come together and contributed to making Watanabe's vision for Space Dandy a reality. wielder fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jul 28, 2014 |

The sudden animation leap when Hanahana started singing reminded me a lot of the Monogatari series, what a great episode.

There were some really bad timing problems with some of the shots in the first musical number, though. Lots of lingering on absolutely nothing happening with characters just seeming to wait for their next lyric.

Now, thanks to two episodes with somewhat similar themes, I'm genuinely wondering if there's a life form somwehere in the universe that planet hops to procreate or something each time two planets coincide in the same way life on Earth experiences changes due to seasons.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2014/08/05-1/feature-bones-15th-anniversary-panel-at-animagicquote:He started off his section about Space Dandy with an excuse because the first episode was so "special" and asked the viewers not to be deterred by it, especially the female ones after hearing Dandy's introductory monologue. He and Shinichiro Watanabe wanted to create a show that would be entirely different than anything that is popular at the moment. They had met up regurlarly after Bebop, through which they had become good friends, and he told the audience how hard it was to restrain their ideas in order not to alienate the viewers with their "strangeness". But he was glad that they could go all-out with season 2 since he assumed that the viewers would be accustomed to it by then. He further noted that they actually encouraged their animators to work as freely as they want which resulted in some employees not even looking at the character sheets, leading to some heavy alterations in designs between different episodes, e.g. the length of a character's hair.
