Dandy renounced the god position to go back to his life.
The universe restarted with dandy being the only omnipotent person, and the adventure starts again.

I keep trying, but I just can't get into it. I've watched to the episode where he tries to bring some little girl alien in to register but ends up helping her find her grandpa. Dandy just isn't very likeable - he's too much of a parody of that character archetype.

He's not a parody, the character archetype itself is meant to be unlikable

I know what both of you mean. I'm OP and I thought the non-continuity would bother me, among other things. But I highly recommend watching a few more episodes. It changed my opinion halfway through the 1st season.

Keep watching it, please. It gets so fucking good once you get into the rhythm of the show. First three episodes are among the weakest, I hate hearing that that's all people got to experience.

>>136239056
The death episode was fucking gorgeous, it's insane how well the show can switch gears tonally. Like, you go from great comedy episodes to more sentimental ones to a visual poem about death, and it all works so well. Very few shows can pull that kinda thing off.
Definitely my pick for best 2014 tv show, which is high fucking praise for a year with Yuasa and Mushishi, not to mention Shirobako as well. The way it brought together a ton of varied, talented people and let them get creative is inspiring.

>>136238592
I honestly have never understood what toonamifags see in Space Dandy to begin with.
If you don't like animation for its own sake, what do you like Space Dandy? There's not much of a plot, it's not consistently funny, there's large visual discontinuities, etc.

Outside of it being released simultaneously in Burgerstan what attracted the rabble?

this is watanabe's best recent work without a doubt. i try to squeeze it into my top ten but struggle to put it above shows like kaiba, renmei, and lain. i do think dandy deserves some deeper analysis and more appreciation, because there is a lot of thought provoking philosophy wrapped up inside of the adventures.

Great anime. Some people were turned off by the approach they took (different directors and styles every episode) but I thought it fit perfectly with the theme and made for some really fun and creative bits. Season 2 episode 18 is my favorite. Best soundtrack in recent memory still too.

After the death episode I finished watching. It just felt complete that way.

What exactly happens at the end though? Does he get hitched with Limbo?

He came to visit limbo-chan in his new life.

Since there are infinite Dandies, one of them keeps his promise and settles down with Limbo-chan.

This also implies that everyone got a happy ending in one universe or another

I really want to like the race episode but I can't, apart for a few moments, the race part lacks excitement, it looks too static (though we can't really blame them for that, considering it's an already too ambitious 26 épisodes series).

Space Dandy was great, baby. Some gave it a hard time because it aired in the west as well as nippon, but it's more engaging and visually interesting than anything from last year.

No idea. I get the same amount of "comfyness" from an episode of NNB. With SoL and one off anime like this, you can just cuddle in your blanket on a cold day and enjoy the show.

>>136253880
It's fully episodic. They'll relate plot points to that but overall Space Dandy is more of a setting given to a bunch of directors to fuck around with. Expect some crazy shit.
>>
>>136253771
For haters defense, Space Dandy is far from perfect. Some jokes fall flat and the pacing can be clunky at times.

It's one of my 2010s favorites but I can understand why some may not like it.

>>
>>136253942
Nothing, that's the point. Some people have stupid reasons for saying something is shit but they never admit it. Like its popularity makes them not like it, or its fanbase, or they think they're a professional critic and try to analyze it in depth coming to the conclusion that it doesn't measure up to some arbitrary standard that they set in their head or other crap like that.

But their opinions get mixed in with the others, so that's what I meant by wishing we could have a magic flag to distinguish them.

This show is more rewarding to watch the more knowledgeable you are of directors and animators. Anons who take fanbase wars way too seriously in their judgment of anime might lump it in with Bebop and the Toonami audience when it's actually best enjoyed by anime experts.
