Holy fuck was that episode good
>Yuasa
Agreed.
If only every episode was this good.
the quality totally took me by surprise, thought it was about to be a movie
>>110734147
ive never watched space dandy before, is it good?
>>110735699
Some episodes are better than others, overall it's pretty enjoyable. The animation is pretty good as well.
>>110735699
it's a pleasing show, definitely interesting
>>110735699
Yes it is, it's episodic so it's nice to just lay down and watch one episode every weeks
It's very fun, it's sometime clever but some episodes aren't very good
>>110735699
it's a really uneven show. some episodes are fantastic, most aren't.

Fuck, I absolutely love shows that give each episode to a different director and let them loose. Yuasa did a really good job with this one. That boat scene in particular is one of the best animated sequences I've seen. Say what you will about Dandy, but if you love animation this show is filled with gems like that.
>>110734147
The ending to this episode was quite emotional. And Dandy was based all through the episode.
>>110736303
>>110736338
dub Dandy is best dandy
Right now there are people on this board complaining about how the production "went to crap." Man, this board is fucking gay as fuck sometimes.
>>110736658
either you're easily impressed or you haven't seen a lot of Yuasa's stuff. this isn't even close to his best-animated sequences.
I wanna die
>>110734147
The way Dandy ends each episode has a specific name and Google, TV Tropes and Wikipedia is failing me. Does anyone know what the episode ending format is called?
The English dub totally nailed the she-fish, fitting with the planets' theme and all.
How was she in the jap dub?
>>110736794
The announced budget episode is going to be amazing, I am actually looking forward to it.

I really have the feeling that a lot of SD episodes have a very weak first half, and a very strong second.
>>110736845
I'm mainly familiar with his minimalistic works, so I was pretty surprised to see something like that from him. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit due to it being on TV, but I still find it really impressive.
>>110737389

but my honey doujin.
>>110737487
Well, that's because Dandy will neverhave a relationship strong enough to NTR away. However, other menjust get there firstor the women arelesbian betelgeusians.
>>110737759
Oh yeah. Meow got NTR'd as well.
>>110737412
A lot of the sequences on Kaiba, Kemonozume and Mind Game were terrific (Tatami didn't have that many outstanding sequences that are specifically memorable for their animationexcluding one in the last episode)
>>110737389
>cat lesbian NTR
>>110735699
They're episodic and consist of the artists and sound designers having fun more than fleshing out a world or plot. If you can tolerate that, you'll like it.
>>110737399
It's actually the same with a lot of episodic shows.

And Dandy himself was quite chill as fuck all the time too.
Getting Yuasa'd felt nice.

Yeah you're right. He had a certain maturity this episode that isn't there normally.

>>110742571
>there's a plant sprouting out of her head

>>110743174
she probably turns super hot if the thing blooms. that or she turns into a titty monster . . . . .
>>110743348
Possible metaphors:
1. She's a late bloomer.
2. Dandy deflowers her.
>>110743348
let's keep our fingers crossed, Anon.
>>110743348W-What if she's an alternate universe version of 033H from planet Planta?
>>110743841
I cant fap to that
>>110743841
that was depressing episode
Who ever is doing the episodes for S2 has the most open mind ever, To even come up with this stuff is fucking really good.
S2 has took a giant dump all over S1, Dandy will be one of the best BONES show for sure.
>>110743841
>At the end of the series all the people they met in the episodes will show up one last time and say goodbye and thanks for watching
>>110744051
But the first episode of S2 was shit and the second one wasn't amazing either
We're only 3 episodes in, let's not talk big
Space Dandy cannot be defined, for it is both about nothing and everything.
>>110744328
>she'll be considered "more attractive" when her glasses are removed
Is the Gogol Empire ever going to get some real plot in this show or what

I'm not seeing it.
It's probably your monitor.
>>110744468

but as soon as he takes them off he looks like a beady eyed gremlin
dang, looks like I missed an episode. Oh well
>>110744558

>>110734147
I thought it was dumb

>>110745259
>>110745259
>tfw she wont show back up
>>110745382
yeah and she is facing him so we only get to see the back of her head but a group of passing by guys( who were probably cold to her at the start of the episode) see her face with the whole " Hi, i never noticed a hotty like you at this school before " line .
>>110744384
Believe in Dandy to pull it off, baby.
Who's ready for the High School Musical episode next week?
Kept thinking throughout the whole episode that the style seemed really familiar, then I found out Yuasa was in charge of it and it all makes sense, love that nip
>>110745938
I googled just 'Yuasa' and it turns out that's the name of a battery company. Funny coincidence?
We need more protagonists with Pompadours.
God damn is it an underrated hair style.
>>110745576
No, we see her emotionally look at dandy walking off into the horizon, the camera pan up to the pink sky with multiple moon, Dandy tell his last phrase while the screen goes black and then the ED comes
the scene where they went up the waterspout thing was amazing. left me breathless; I'm really moved.

I'd say the first and sixth episodes were bad too, and maybe the third.
I don't especially remember any Space Dandy episode to be very bad but I don't remember any to be extremely good either, it's an enjoyable experience but in the end few of the episodes are truly memorable

Why did the fish planet have battery brands from another planet if they're an undiscovered species?
>>110737399
Some episodes I feel are the opposite.
Not this one though. They spent about 3 minutes too long on getting Dandy and Meow firmly rooted into the plot. If they condensed that part a bit it would've been a 10/10 episode.
I thought it was kind of sweet how Meow tried tosave Carpaccio's life. Given how in the heat of the moment the situation was, I doubt that he did it just so he could perhapseat him layer. An oddly heroic, if ultimately futile, gesture.
>>110752558
It wasn't the same brand, they just happened to have D batteries.
>mfw this episode.
>>110752839
He was only in it for the money.
>>110752844

>>110752558

>>110752924
That's a possibility, but it's more than what Dandy did at least.
>>110752947
Oh. In that case, it is a mystery.
Great episode
I have a lot of respect for Yuasa, the guy is really good at his job
I can't believe people made porn of the capybara alien woman from the last episode. I'm almost impressed.
Were they on a budget this episode?

Time Surfing or Exploding Moon Surfing?
>>110754859
Moon of course.

moon because hozhikuzu no pipeline
>>110754660
If Japan had taste, we could've gotten almost a hundred episodes.
>>110754660
>>110754967
Cartoon Network is funding this, that's why the animation has been able to continue being experimental and high frame amount even though the BD/DVD sales in japan are medium-low. And it wouldn't work out for being a long series. Maybe if this was a kids show it could go on but even then the animation and stories would get shitty, there's only so much one project can do.
>>110754967
Maybe Toonami will ask for more?
>>110754859
>Best animation: Time surfing

I can't help but feel that my dandy experience is being limited by my sobriety.
Dandy is high art.
>>110754660
>we will probably never see anything like this ever again.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, Space Dandy is a pretty big success in America and it's well reviewed in Japan, this might encourage other animation studios to collaborate with American TV to make crazy projects like this one
Episode 9 last season had some seriously good art direction.
>>110753943

Sadly, Dandy 'a ratings have taken a dive after being put into an even crappier time slot.
>next episode high school transfer student
FUCKING DROPPED
>>110756382
it's still a success tho
>>110756382
>Dandy was bumped back for SnK's awful pacing and the death rattle of Bleach
They dug their own grave.
>>110756472
SnK I can get, but why the fuck was Bleach put before Dandy? It gets lower ratings despite being in an earlier time slot.
>>110756508
Probably because Bleach has been in the same timeslot for years.
It's disgusting though how they're treating SNK and Bleach better than a world premier.
>>110753943
reminds me so much of mind games
>>110756590
Well, I guess with SnK they're trying to ride on the wave of its popularity (albeit with a less than stellar dub) and like you said, Bleach has been in that slot for awhile and it's what brings in the viewers.
I really hope that what >>110755862 proposed could one day become a reality. It would be great if a block like Toonami had more creative shows like Dandy. With the inevitability of shows like DBZ Kai coming in to replace Bleach though, that doesn't look like a realistic possibility.

But you're right. Yuasa really has a preoccupation with water and aquatic life. Except for maybe his Genius Party short and Adventure Time episode, I'm pretty sure everything he's done has featured an underwater creature behind a transparent surface.
I don't remember the quality on the horriblesubs release being such complete ass and recently messed around with my drivers, could someone possibly post a screenshot of the 720p version at about 1:16?
>>110753943
Isn't that the same animator from Tatami Galaxy?
>>110757376
There's nothing wrong with the dub.
>>110757386
It's Shinya Ohira. He did the OP for Ping Pong, but as far as I know, he didn't do anything for Tatami Galaxy.
>>110757376
Ouch, you're right
>>110757376
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for, but Funimation rips do, in fact, look like total shit.
>>110753943
>that moment his hair splays everywhere and he smooths it back
FUCK
>>110757544
>>110757570
I know that funimation rips look like ass, but I had never noticed just how shit until after I changed my video card drivers.
>>110757488
No but there is.
In the Japanese version, Dandy has an accent and sort of "draws out" the ends of his words.
In the dub, the voice actor just reads his lines. There's no voice acting going on save for the occasional 'baby'
I DO like what they did with QTs voice in the dub. Meows voice is better in the japanese as well, carries a more "carefree" tone whereas again the dub just has the VA saying his lines.
Also in the ep with multiple dandys, they got different voice actors for some of the dandys/meows/qts whereas the dub took the cheap route/cut corners and just reused all the same VAs.
And they also change lines here and there, so the humor in the dub seems to be aimed at a lower-age target audience.
The dub isn't horrible, but it's no Cowboy Bebop dub.
>>110758413
I disagree.
>>110753307
Wait, seriously? Well I guess I'm not surprised though.
>>110758677
That's just like, your opinion, man.
>>110758413
>whereas the dub took the cheap route/cut corners and just reused all the same VAs
was I the only one that thought that was great?
>>110758839
Yes.
>>110758794
I may like some of the actual voices better but the dub has so much more flavor.
And as someone who knows Japanese, I can tell that the subtitles actually just steal from the dub a lot. The subtitles try to add as much flavor as possible, but the original lines, if you can understand them, are often just really dull and regular.
>>110737399
weak episodes can always be saved by Dandy space surfing
>>110758762
>>110753307
It's unfortunate how much MeowxDandy porn I had to see to find this furry garbage.
>>110759033
Yes, how...unfortunate.
Maybe next time Toonami can bring in real VA talent and not job the shit out of the time slot
>>110746873
That was awesome.
>>110754311
He was voiced by Waver
>>110758885
I know some Japanese as well. I agree the subs add things to it, but the dub also deviates from the original here and there and while some of the deviations are funny, some of them are dumber and dumberer level humor.
Also not sure what you mean about flavor. The main characters voice is much better in the japanese. QTs voice is much better in the dub, but when the main character is that much worse in the dub its unwatchable imo.
They did the same thing with Kamina in the GL dub. The guy just reads his lines with no intonation/inflection/accent at all.
The fundamental problem is that at least in Japan seiyuus usually train or go to school for this stuff. In America, you became a VA because you failed to make it in hollywood and you dont want to do porn. Japanese VA can be bad as well (SAO II I'm looking at you) but at least there is usually an attempt to act. So many American dubs are bored VAs literally just reading their lines outloud.
>>110744385
maybe in the very last episode. I know Dandy is a very episodic show but I thought we would at least get one episode about the Gogol Empire already
>>110755277
>>110759320
I'd rather have less pleasing voices than boring lines. Most of the Japanese dialog sounds close to stock phrases that you'd find in a Japanese textbook, but most people don't seem to realize this because the subtitles borrow from the dub a lot without translating literally.
>>110759449
I disagree that the dialogue in the original is that bad. It's not poetic by anymeans, but it's about what you'd expect for anime. It's not like the dub does this any better (for example, the D-N-A...Dandy sequence in the multi-dandy episode).
>>110739108
Man, I am hype as fuck for that episode.
>>110759570
The fact that Im not really all THAT fluent in Japanese but can still understand each episode without subtitles perfectly says something.
This was a really good episode. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at an episode. The end especially was funny.
That was Namikawa Daisuke, right? who played the fish
Such a great episode.
Dandy actually felt really dandy this episode. I mean, he was nothing but detrimental to the crews cause I suppose, but he still stayed super cool, calm, and collected the whole time.

The highschool setting, the dancing and the outfit, I can't help but think of a Grease and Saturday Night Fever mix, and in both movies Travolta had pomp too. Yup, Dandy fever is on.
>>110754590
Because Dandy and Meow aren't smart?
