Lets do this poo poo, I am ready.

Major kudos to Adult Swim for pulling a Big O and funding a second cour, even though this probably won't draw in Bleach or Naruto numbers (because people have no loving taste) I hope it pays off huge for them.

I dunno, man. This is a space show from the creator of Cowboy Bebop. You're underestimating how good Cowboy Bebop was for Adult Swim. It was a near-constant fixture on the channel for like 10 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if Funimation had the show up on their website, either subbed or dubbed.

The only cuts Toonami really does is the shortening of openings and endings for time and like one bleeped swear on SAO. Besides, this is the absolute world premiere and what seems like a flagship title for the block. They're not gonna make it an inferior experience.

They got some neat guys there, like Rikiya Koyama and Akio Ohtsuka.

Now that he's specified what he's concerned about, I can understand. I didn't really like that part either, and he's acting pretty level-headed about it. I'm with him in hoping it was just a fluke.

Edit: In a worst-case scenario, it's something that could probably be easily redone for the actual home release, if Funi even bothers.

"Asteroid belt" is a terrible joke, so I can't imagine why they felt the need to change the original "worm" or "maggot" in the first place. "rear end" works just as well, which is what was in the preview sub.

The preview sub was also not official, so it doesn't really have any bearing on what Funimation did.

Well, from what I heard, there were Space Dandy commercials on ESPN, plus it's half an hour earlier in what used to be normal Adult Swim's time, so maybe they were counting on it bringing in people who normally don't watch anime.

A local band from Atlanta released the album this song is on about 16 years ago. There's about 3 copies on Amazon. Adult Swim is cruel as gently caress.

The top result when you search for it on Youtube is the Space Dandy promo. The rest is footage from live shows.

Have people forgotten that the ED is dropping mad hints that Dandy hosed up the time-space continuum in Episode 1 and we're most likely looking at literal alternate universes?

Hawaii is similar to Japan in a lot of ways.

Hawaii is also a very popular tourist destination for Japan, probably due to it being the closest US state.

Are you sure that piece is in the OST? I listened through the OST repeatedly and I don't think it's any of the tracks.

I know for a fact that it was in the OST that was released.
