Enjoyed the chill nature of this episode. I liked the art design of where the locals lived.

2nd season of space dandy so far is much better than the first one. The show really is at its best has a platform for different directors to experiment and do whatever. Those more free episodes were the highlights of the first season.

This episode was really great. Lovely style and story.

agreed 100%
the flexible animation really allows for some great diversity

Awesome episode as always, as how it was said already this episode wasn't trying to be hilarious but just light hearted with a serious vibe.

The morale of today (or at least how I interpreted it) is that it doesn't matter what you catch, the important thing is how you catch it and with who, and more importantly did you have fun?

The animations were pretty fine, the message and the fun was delivered anyway, maybe in this way even better.
That said the next episode looks fucking interesting, Scarlett and Honey on board.

The Munagi reminded me of the space whales in Macross 7.

Yes that and Nessie too, from the legend of the Loch Ness Lake.
Also, the end might confirm it since they say something like "Let's go to catch MussIE now".

Was the animation supposed to be like that? I thought they were getting low on budget and started cutting it down. Now that I look back at it, the feel of the episode probably wouldn't be complete without it. And the soundtrack made it a whole lot better

I don't understand why people would watch the dub. So much of the original connotation is lost that it essentially becomes an entirely different show. (The "HEAVE 2 3 4!" thing isn't exactly a good example of this, but oh well.)

Anyone else waiting for Adélie to come back (most likely as a voluptuous woman)?

I think they're making it with the dub in mind, and it's really not that bad

Because it's a good dub. And it airs on Toonami first.

This week's episode was okay. I liked Erssime. Like others have been saying, she reminded me of Ringo from Casshern Sins.

But, uhh, what's with all the fish this season?

I thought there was some Ghibli and TTGL in this episode - no wonder after Kiyotaka Oshiyama since he was on the key animation in the 3rd episode of TTGL and The Wind Rises. A great episode and some nice sceneries!

Yay another cool episode. Although as some others have said, it would be cool if some of these characters from past episodes ended up coming back in a future episode.

Erssime is adorable as fuck yo!. I don't like the artstyle when they were catching the munnagi. People may call this "unique" but I say it sucks.

The characters and setting gave me this Ponyo meets Dr. Seuss idea. I would be terrified of being in such a huge ocean, but this episode was pretty entertaining.

Finally, first good episode in Season 2. It felt like a Ghibli animation (also they used a real child for the child's voice)

Hopefully they do catch something and have it registered soon, been 18 episodes of dry hunting so far. At this rate, they won't ever fill out another stamp card for Boobies :(

It was a great episode. Dandy went fishing a rare alien, but, as always, thigs didn't end in the way he wanted. No capturing the fish, no money

I love how apparent Dandy's development from season one till now is, like when he didn't like kids until he helped that little girl (around episode 5 from season one) find way home, and how he's having such a wholesome time with that little kid as well, it's so nice to watch him take care of these little ragrats and throwing words of encouragements to them every once in a while.
This was a visually beautiful episode, and it wasn't thanks to the fluid animation we're used to in this show, nah, it's something that gave a lot of beauty to still shots, like simply the calm lake and the world's reflection on it and the eye-catching stars on every night, it almost gave me vibes similar to those of Samurai Jack.

Dandy's outfit was quite interesting. The little girl reminded me more of Ponyo from ergo proxy than Ringo. The artstyle was really interesting and the montage of dandy fishing makes me think that he was spending a lot of days on that planet,so the fact that he's so close with the little girl isn't suprising.

Was nice to see the whole village who doubted the old man coming together when he needed help the most. The ost which played during that waterspout was really nice. Don't really know how the fish survive in those muddy waters though.
