Space☆Dandy has significant hype surrounding it, as it is directed by Shinichirō Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo).

As of the early episodes, what are your impressions on it? Despite the massive expectations and exploding viewership ratings on television, people seem to currently have mixed opinions on its premiere.

I think it's really great so far. Nice animation, it's hilarious, and there's never a dull moment with Dandy and his crew. It'd be nice if it took a serious turn shortly though. :)

Nothing special, the jokes are getting old really fast, I don't even remember a single significant moment until now.

The weakest full-length anime of the current season, aside from Youkai Watch which is a kiddie anime and thus let off. Not the worst experience to watch (thanks to ImoCho and Nobunaga the Fool, the former of which is outright unbearable and the latter of which is like a trainwreck without the benefit of having functioning trains in the first place), but the weakest.

Humour is abysmally weak; Dandy's character bored me after 5 minutes - and none of the rest ever entertained me to begin with; events are very much forgettable. And the setting and story are both bland from what I watched before dropping it.

The setting isn't bland, you probably just don't like sci - fi space settings.

If Gintama had a child with Bebop...it'd closely resemble Space Dandy, I think.

I agree with you 100%. Looks like Watanabe went for a wacky approach, and it's failed spectacularly in my opinion. Looks beautiful, and I'm definitely gonna watch it all the way through, but I may be rather sad while doing so. As a Gintama fan-boy it makes me a little sad to see people saying it's like Bebop mixed with Gintama, I find the comedy to be very meh, whereas Gintama makes me spew rainbows of happiness and joy.

Unfunny eye-candy comedy covered up by absurdly high budget and production values. Reminds me of Final Fantasy XIII.


I gave it the three-watch rule before I dropped it, but I dunno. It's just not for me I guess.

Every couple of seasons there appears a show completely unique in itself: an original combination of story concept, art, music, presentation, characters, theme, etc. In short-a good show that will stand upon the masses of annual recycled 'Bleh' anime studios pump out again and again. Space☆Dandy is probably one of those.
I love it!

the animation is amazing
the op and ed song are awesome
the character dandy is so ridiculous and funny

I can see why people dont like it and thats because there is nothing resembling a serious plot at all so far its absolutely pointless and thats ok with me. Its the opposite of serious actually I expect that to continue as the point of the anime is to be absurd.

Im not surprised a lot of people dont like it though because to be blunt most anime fans have shit taste... look at this websites top 100 rated anime and you need not look further for proof.

So when something outrageous absurd and original comes out without the usual lets fight to see whos the strongest written for 13 year olds plot its going to get the hate.

For those people go watch code geass and go be impressed by death note with your inferior intellects.

the last episode alone or the show in general?

ill just do the last episode alone since you clearly dont have a sense of humor and are obviously trolling.
I know I dont go on pages for anime I dont like and ask the fans to tell me why its good unless im trolling.

Lets see tho... the cat playing with the hologram... the shooting scene was hilarious where the animation is him doing all these cool shooting poses and missing absolutely everything... the cute anime girl turning into a huge boobie monster... the escape shuttle transforming into a hawaiian shirt wearing mecha... the dialog where hes like I wont abandon you meow while running away and escaping until the robot reminds him that meow had the boobies point card and the dialog at that point was hilarious.

I dont know take your pick... you obviously are trolling or your sense of humor just sucks...

the characters are awesome... dandy is all style and no substance he tries so hard to be cool and has all these cool moves that accomplish nothing... hes absolutely ridiculous... the little robot is so troll and is hilarious. Meow is awesome too.

I really dont see how any anime fan worth talking to would not like this show so consider this goodbye.

It's awesome, well done, and the animation is great.

It's also funny as hell. Especially with the english dub.

I only liked the 3rd episode. The first two episodes felt boring and unfunny.

Anyway, it is early to judge anime from 3 episodes. But so far it is not that good.

I think it's a great show to crack open a beer and watch. I personally think it's funny and clever at times, being ecchi satire with slightly more to it than you'd expect (somebody posted the alphabet used on the show, and some of the signs say very funny things, nothing that adds to the plot, just extra jokes and satire). I don't think it's trying too hard to be anything that it isn't.

I don't think I've really laughed out loud while watching this show so far, but the show is interesting enough and somewhat out there that it keeps interest. As I said earlier though, still nothing that has been particularly noteworthy.

When I first saw this anime in the line up I wasn't quite sure to make of it from the summary. But I admit now seeing the 5 eps that are out. I don't regret watching this.

Its pretty much average so far.Animation is very good and sound section is fine but episodic stories are quite inconsistent in the term of quality.Just because its by a established director doesn't make it a masterpiece and vice versa.

After watching 6 episodes, I would say this anime is average if not below average. I almost never laughed while watching it. Compare this to something like tom and jerry for example. Even the worst episode in tom and jerry is 10x better.

Lots of divided opinions about this one. Maybe since it airs on American TV during Adult Swim that is causing some people to expect a certain kind of anime. Also the American opening is a pretty bad attempt to position this as a child of Bebop, the Japanese opening is much better as setting up the carefree & new spirit of the show.

I'm definitely one of those that loves the unique style & humor of this show. It doesn't take itself too seriously and that is a fantastic quality. I laugh out loud more at Space Dandy than any other recent anime. The combination of camaraderie & tomfoolery between Dandy and Meow is hilarious.
