Yeah, from middle school.

I wonder where they are going with the show. Space Dandy seems like a more creepy and less mature Johnny Bravo who likes to abuse his robot. The cat he's chasing who's presumably going to join his crew is probably on the run for being a sex offender. These aren't exactly the most likable characters and I can only hope that's intentional.

First Kill la Kill and now this. It's like anime wants me to come back to it. Having Watanabe and the Misfits together sounds like another dream team, just like Trigger.

Let's ride together.
FYI: the first episode of the Japanese dub has been leaked. Once again, the source of the leak is Madman's website (specifically, the muppets publicly uploaded it a good 48 hours early). Those sensitive to spoilers should be wary in the next 24 hours or so.

Also if you're Australian and were planning on watching it on Madman's website you should probably look into Crunchyroll or whoever else is going to get the rights, because Madman sure won't be keeping them.

As I understand it, the encode they accidentally released is badly encoded so that's a fairly good reason to avoid it as well.

It sounds like the NY times thinks it's bad when there are big anime hooters in space. But actually, it's good.

As far as I can tell, the author hates one joke at the beginning therefore the entire episode is bad. PS the joke is funny.

I'm actually happy I read this review before I watch the episode tomorrow night. The critical review made me step off the hype train; which is good considering I'm more easily disappointed by things I'm hyped up about. I'll enter this show with lower expectations and an open mind and see where it takes me.

I don't get it. All it really says is "Looks cool, is a lot of fun, maybe not the most IMPORTANT THING EVER yet."

It's always good to have reasonable expectations anyways. I'm confident that the show will be enjoyable but I'm not expecting it to instantly become my favorite thing ever after the very first episode, that would just set myself up for disappointment.

Be fair. Sometimes, the first two episodes are superb and it's the rest of the show that's garbage.

And that's why I always do the three episode test before dropping a series. To think I almost dropped K-ON! because I didn't like the first two episodes...

Based on the first episode, Space Dandy is exactly what I thought it would be and I am likely to continue seeing where it goes. I'd like to be surprised by it, but if not, that's fine too.

Adult Swim is presenting an English-language version of the show, and it’s possible that the humor isn’t as broad or crude in the original.

It's a giant starbase shaped like tits, but maybe the sonorous tones of the original Japanese seiyu can bring it the gravity it deserves.

Funimation is i think.

I can't actually tell from the site, I hope so since I only have the barest of bones cable, and that's only because it comes with my internet.

edit:

ANN posted:

The anime was scheduled to launch at Otakon Vegas on Saturday, followed by its English dub broadcast on Adult Swim's Toonami block in the United States that night.

The series will then premiere in Japan on January 5 at 11:00 p.m. Animax Asia will also premiere the series in Southeast Asia on that day. Animax Korea is showing the anime in South Korea, Anime Limited licensed the anime for English and French-speaking countries and regions in Europe, while AV Visionen will stream the series with German subtitles. Funimation will also stream the series online with Japanese audio, and the company also has home video rights for the series.

So yes, I'm still not sure when the stream will go up though.

I was trying to figure out last night where this would end up streaming and couldn't find anything beyond that page either. I would have thought they'd at least put up a little info like HERE IS WHERE EPISODES ARE GONNA BE Y'ALL or something. I was hoping they'd mirror episodes on Hulu like they do with some of their other simulcasts but I couldn't even find a page for it there, just links to clips on adultswim.com.
