| Well I was thinking, since they have the same creator and all, are they comparable? NOT IN HOW GOOD THE TWO SHOWS ARE, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA TAKE IT THIS WAY, but content and stuff. Such as I found that episode 4 is comparable to the mushroom episode of cowboy bebop. but this show kinda lacks seriousness while that was Cowboy Bebop's main focus. so what do you guys think? |
| the closest thing i can think of is basically, space dandy is what would happen if cowboy andy from bebop stared in that episode where the moldy food came to life then made that into a 13 episode series |

| Space Dandy is the edgy failed abortion of Space Adventure Cobra and Cowboy Bebop. Sure his bones are a bit contorted and he probably wont last that long but he's still got that ever so pretentious spark of mass pandering in him. |

| I haven't fully caught up to the series, but no I don't think you can compare the two. The characters in Space Dandy are a complete joke compared to Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Bebop had amazing characters while the ones in Space Dandy I could have come up with in like 5 minutes of sitting down and thinking about. Space Dandy isn't a terrible series, but it isn't anywhere near Cowboy Bebop is. |

| As someone mentioned earlier, Space Dandy is following a episodic route as of opposed to going from A to B. Right now, Space Dandy isn't even remotely close to being compared to Cowboy Bebop. |

| It depends on how you look at it. It kinda is comparable, in terms of direction. Episode 1 ended with the alternate ending, in the same way that the refrigerator episode ended. "everyone died. The end" There was a well animated martial arts fight set to jazz. 26 episodic episodes make the show seem endless. And then the show is also the complete opposite, at least in terms of humor and theme. |
| As of right now ... no. But Cowboy Bebop was kinda episodic at first and got really good at the end too. Maybe Space Dandy will follow the same flow. |
| My signature is lame... |
| I don't see why Space Dandy has to be criticized so much for miniscule details, yeah it's not original, yeah you might not like it and yeah it might not be as good as Bebop, but it's easily comparable to Bebop; just look at the opening for example. Also, the main characters are similar, it's about bounty hunters, it takes place in space and it's created by the same person. It's a great show so far, not everything you watch is going to be perfect. It seems like these days, no matter how good something is, if it's been done before it's instantly shit. I wonder when shows like Space Dandy will receive the praise they deserve on this site because SD definitely deserves it. |
| Space Dandy isn't trying to be something it's not. If you take it too seriously, you won't enjoy it. I personally love Cowboy Bebop and obviously Space Dandy (which I also love) has a similar premise since they're both done by the same guy. So yes, I think it's comparable in the sense that they're both episodic. |

Wind_Sr said: just saying the character complaint sounds really unfounded, bebop spike was really bland up until episode 5, before ep 5 he was just generic badass guy that gets annoyed easilly and wasnt until later he became the more dynamic character he was same for faye going from generic tsundere to what she becomes and toa certain extent same for spikeI haven't fully caught up to the series, but no I don't think you can compare the two.

Cowboy Bebop had amazing characters while the ones in Space Dandy I could have come up with in like 5 minutes of sitting down and thinking about. Space Dandy isn't a terrible series, but it isn't anywhere near Cowboy Bebop is. with space dandy being a comedy they obviously wont be as deep as bebop's cast since they arent trying to be the same series at all but you cant really complain about characters being so shallow without actually giving the show a chance to show them to you, for example ep 5 of dandy shows a entirely different character than the comedy episodes before it. |

| Go watch episode 22 of cowboy bebop,"Cowboy Funk". Now compare Andy and Dandy. (even the names are similar :p ) So, I'm guessing someone thought it was a good idea to give Andy his own show lol. And, yes they are comparable if you compare space dandy to that episode and episode 17, ''mushroom samba''. |

ayuxx said: Somewhat agree with this viewpoint. Well, aside from the trend for modern Futurama to be more parody than original content like they used to be. Also, Space Dandy has none of the seriousness found in the occasional Futurama.The general vibe of Space Dandy reminds me more of Futurama than Cowboy Bebop. I suppose I would say that it's kinda like a cross between the two, leaning slightly more toward Futurama. Anyway, the series is incomparable to Cowboy Bebop, not the least due to the difference in genre. There is a space vibe, and I guess both MCs are manly men (albeit in different ways), and they also use woolongs. But there's nothing thematically or tonally similar. Edit: If you come back to Space Dandy after watching one or two underwhelming episodes of another series, it seems much better than the initial impression you get, which I think speaks to its deliciousness. |

CrisisArm said: This.The closest is comes is the end of episode 2. The vibe and emotion at the end there very much captured Cowboy Bebop, but other than that, it's pure comedy. |
| Not really. |
 |
| The only comparison I can give for is that the music fits so damn well with the scene presented, and help builds the atmosphere of it, which is expected of Watanabe. |

PetitFours said: I believe the worst thing about this show is that people would always compare it to Bebop even they know this is an insane comedy. Just because it has space in its name doesn't mean it is trying to imitate Bebop, they're going completely different ways, despite there may be references and tributes to Bebop. Both are good shows and you don't always have to compare. The only real similarity is the episodic format. They're similar in the respect that how YOU see the character is built on an accumulation of experiences rather than a continuous plot. This means you will have to make assumptions in the same way that we make assumptions everyday with people we know. We don't follow them around all day, we only know what we see. However, the obvious difference is that so far how we see these characters doesn't play a huge factor just yet. In Cowboy bebop, the past catches up to the crew (I think Jet is the only exception. Other than his episode with his old girlfriend, he's mostly on the sidelines of the drama, which is actually a large part of his character himself, but that's another story), whereas Space Dandy's crew stays relatively unphased by each week's adventures. Perhaps this is what makes people a little critical of the show, but the way I see it, logistically none of the episodes are connected because of the "parallel universe" theory, and the fact that I am satisfied with what we already have: well written jokes, good use of external influences, and overall great execution. It reminds me of early Spongebob episodes. Seriously, nobody complained about "character development" for Spongebob, why complain about Space Dandy? |
| it is a parody of Cowboy Bebop(by the same creator,no less!)but it also parodies other stuff too. the ones i caught are code geass,he-man,and earthworm jim. |
| I liked this way more than Cowboy Bepop. As for comparisons, while they do share the same settings, they are wildly different shows, intended for different experiences. Do not go into this expecting it to be anything like Cowboy Bepop. |
