Is there any metrics out at all that shows how well Space Dandy is doing in both markets?

Its selling poorly in Japan. Toonami ratings are OKish last time I heard.

You know, I am really starting to feel super bad for the (good) anime creators in japan. they make such incredible stuff but they're tied to the corpse of the Japanese Audience.

For a specific number, the episode before the most recent one had roughly 750k viewers on Toonami, putting it at 3rd place behind Attack on Titan and Bleach.

Attack on Titan and Bleach are the two earlier timeslots, right?

Yeah, and in that order too.

Fairly sure Dandy performed better when it was airing at 11:30 in its first season instead of 12:30.

Side note, the last episode was okayish, kid reminded me of that kid from cowboy bebop. Really looks like this saturdays episode will be a winner.

I was a lot more likely to stay up and watch Dandy at an earlier time. I've just been grabbing it from their site lately. It might only be an extra hour and a half, but that's a nice bit of sleep I'd be missing.

God drat it, this show just keeps topping itself. I can't think of any show, anime or otherwise, that would handle a character like Honey as well as this episode did. Her bloodline certainly explains why she's such a drat good Boobies waitress.

The laugh track and the B-Plot of Scarlett going to a singles mixer gave me a serious 80s sitcom vibe.

Also Honey is apparently smart enough that trying to download her brain caused the computer to explode.

I think it's more that Cloudians have an ungodly amount of data-retention in their brains, though Honey's still obviously smarter than she acts.

I don't think she had any idea of what Gel wanted with Dandy, she just set up a meeting with him so she could get home and get back to work. Then Perry gave the kill command and Honey knocked Gel's rear end out and teleported away. Girl's got initiative.

I've been loving the hell out of Space Dandy and forcing random friends to watch it, it's hard not to mention it when talking about anime with anyone as well.

One of the best on-going jokes right now is "It's budget time" when the animation just gets super crazy and REALLY beautiful.

Now to watch the newest episode.

Yeah, that's how I see it. Cloudians represent all clouds, water vapor 'clouds' and data storage 'clouds'.

Every episode I go, man, this is just loving amazing. There is on way it can get better next week, and I'm okay with that.

And then the next episode is even better. And yet! That doesn't diminish the episodes before either! Each episode is itself better than the on before and the one after, endlessly, in space.

I was actually more amused by the idea of Johnny being the leader of the Jairo Empire. It just seemed so close to a Jojo's reference that I couldn't resist chuckling at that.

And Dandy was eating it all up. Just look at those faces and where he's looking at during the scene His eyes are following the target everywhere in every single cut. I'm way too OK with this bit of fanservice.

Even Meow went crazy in the cut where the beer is standing in front of him.

Someone please post what they think the last minute of the show meant. Did Dandy decide to stay dead and remain with the planet?

Either way, that episode was up there with Bebop levels of wow. Such a good episode and half the time I wasn't sure what was even happening! It was awesome, best episode so far!

You have no reflection, you're ghosts! Doesn't that concern you!?

I think it meant that, after Dandy lived his life and really died, he returned to the planet that loved him. The friends he had made there waited patiently for him, and he happily came back to them when it was truly his time.

This was a hauntingly beautiful episode. To me, it was like a beautiful combination of Twin Peaks and a Jodorowsky movie.
