 quote:Neo Tokyo, the year G.C. (Galaxy Century) 0051, which marks a half century since first contact was made. Humans have obtained super light-speed navigation technology and formed a commonwealth of planets with aliens. A streak of bad luck is continuing for self-proclaimed freelance reportage writer Robby Yarge, who is around 30 years old. He fails at work, so his contract is cut. His girlfriend leaves him, he nearly dies in a traffic accident, and debt collectors come after him. Basically it's a show about two goofballs dodging debt collectors in space and heading to Space Disney. It's pretty good so far!  This is Robby. He's a flake. Kazuya Nakai's voice is what comes outta his gob.  This is Hatchi. He's a dork. When he opens his mouth, Keisuki Koumoto is who you hear.  This is JPS-19. He's Robby's robot who thinks Robby is a fuckin' idiot. He's not wrong. His audio chip is programmed to emulate Daisuke Sakaguchi.  This is Yang. He's a loan shark coming to collect debts. One such debt is the vocal chords of one Tomokazu Sugita.   This is Allo and Gras. They're two of Yang's goons. If you as me, they sound an awful lot like Subaru Kimura and Shinnosuke Tokudome. It's on Mondays! Funimation!

The premise sounds like Galaxy Express 999 with maybe a dash of Yamato which is enough to have me check it out.

That was a fun first episode and it kind of reminds me of Space Dandy.

Less good Space Dandy isn't even necessarily a bad thing, since Space Dandy was an OPM season 1 caliber collaboration between some of the best talent in the biz.

I like its goofiness but I think it's a pretty drat ugly show and has some pretty half-assed animation. Ill give it a couple more episodes but I'm not sure about it.

I just found this show and I thought I should point out that Robihachi is clearly based on Tokaidochu Hizakurige, a comedic novel/traveler's guide to the Tokaido Road. The characters' names are straight-up copied with westernized spellings, and the robot's name is just a slight alteration of the title ("Tokaidochu" becomes "Ginga Dochu" and they add a sentai-inspired "r" sound to the end). I'm sure there's some sort of pun in "Isekandar" besides the obvious allusion to Ise Grand Shrine, but I'm not quite sure how it would backtrace to kanji. In any case, this pretty clearly tells us what sort of story we're in for, and I'm there for it.
