Man, that episode was a sad note to end on.  It was great, though.

Great episode, no doubt. But if they hadn't decided to extend to a season 2, that would have been their farewell? I didn't expect there would actually be some alternate timeline / quantum physics meaning to the way the whole cast sometimes dies and comes back the next week, but they really wouldn't have elaborated on the whole Dr. Gel / evil empire stuff? It's all just a total non sequitur, there's no reason for them to be chasing after Dandy, even if it, fitting with the rest of the show, is a super silly reason?

They had been extended to a season 2 pretty much before the show began, so no, this probably wouldn't have been it.

Considering the animator that complained about Honey's dialogue localization in episode one mentioned that (season 2 spoiler) she was actually a secret agent (which hasn't even been alluded to yet), I'm pretty sure they've had the whole thing planned out for quite a while.

I'd imagine Space Dandy season two will attempt to connect the dots a little bit. That should be interesting. But not in a way that would take up most of the screen time and risk turning it into a linear narrative all of a sudden. In other words, I fully expect the majority of the episodes will be more of the same: a crazy creator showcase. And I'm absolutely fine with that. I don't know if this is really the best anime of the season, but it definitely turned out to be my personal favorite. wielder fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Mar 31, 2014 |

Only a couple of weeks late in getting around to watching the last episode, which is a shame because it was probably my favourite one of the show, only the zombie episode gives it a run for its money. I liked the first season on the whole, though I do think that having a new writer and director for every episode seemed to make it lack cohesiveness, rather than a series is seemed more like a bunch of those 'Young Animator Training' projects strung together. That said, taken individually there wasn't a single episode I disliked, especially the ones with the crazier art and animation styles like the plant world one (which was probably most people's least favourite  ).

I finally caught up with the show and I have to give it serious credit for being way smarter and funnier than expected. I'm really shocked people think it's only TnA jokes because 95% of the time the setup and delivery are based around form and function of the narrative as opposed to playing a boob for laughs. It was also cool to see each different director flex their muscles. It was one of the most well animated shows of the entire season. Points to the soundtrack as well. Episode 9 and 10 are great examples of that and probably my favorite of the whole show. Episode 13 has so many silly references (Like the loving A.I. references at the dance party and the Brave Little Toaster parody stuff). It definitely isn't a show that exists in a vacuum but it is genuinely enjoyable. The episode that made fun of Wacky Racers and Redline was also hilarious and wonderful. Safe to say that I'm excited for it to come back. Edit: It's also really clear that this show is a huge parody of western TV (not just animation) so it's not surprising that the "continuity" and overall connectedness of episodes isn't directly stated or cared about in the slightest. laplace fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Apr 12, 2014 |

So any word on how this show has done? Is it likely CN will consider this "worth it" or will they never sign off on something like this again?

So I did a thing and AMVed that last episode fight. Which, I've never made an AMV and haven't edited video for like five years and couldn't be bothered to find a non hardcoded source, so it's kinda lovely but there it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gNJPN8wxk8&hd=1

Are people watching this subbed or dubbed? Usually I watch all my animes subbed, because I am afraid of bad voice actors and I usually like to see things in their original language. I was forced to watch one episode (episode 3) dubbed and and found it to actually add to the humour, which was nice.

The only Watanabe show you should watch subbed in Kids on the Slope and that was already based on something.

The dub is fantastic. I've heard some criticisms of it missing some deep nuance from time to time but honestly that seems very nit-picky.

Both are great, but I would suggest going with the dub. This way you could enjoy the animation that much more.

I saw some clips of the dub and I really hated how they seemed to really force the comedy by adding/altering lines to have unnecessary comedic stuff.

Slightly changing lines to make them flow better when spoken is a part of any good localization process. I'd rather have dialogue that sounds natural than having a 100% accurate translation that sounds stilted and clunky.

I feel like the Adult Swim version really is superior, and I rarely prefer dubs, save for maybe Evangelion, Bebop, DBZ, and FMA. The narrator, QT, Dandy, all of them I feel work better in the dub.

This is probably an anime I'd show someone who didn't like most of the other anime they've seen (just like Bebop and Champloo).

I cannot accept a version of the show without an auto tuned QT.  Last week I was waiting in line at the bank and I swear I heard a version of the song used in adult swim's credits playing in the lobby. Is it a unique piece of music for the show or did it originate elsewhere?

It's a piece from the OST. You can hear it in episode 5 when Penguin Dandy is chasing the kidnappers.

When I read a review of the show before watching it (I forget where), the reviewer said the auto-tuning was annoying and I was set to dislike it but I was not prepared for how much I love the effect. It just works, y'know?
