This is my favorite anime of all time but I was literally backpacking through Japan and South-East Asia when it was running. I just realized I missed /a/'s opinions on it and I'm curious.

Watch more anime and get better taste.

Why would you care about the opinions of a bunch of people who would rather post in threads dedicated to 8 year old magicgirls they want to fuck than have actual discussions about animes that do something other than moe the fuck out?

If you like it, you like it. I thought it was alright but wasnt my cup of tea. /a/'s opinion is shit and should never be accepted more than face value.

I would say "thanks for your honest opinion" but I know that the first response to a thread has to be unnecessarily aggressive to offset the gay fact that you chose to be the first person to respond to my thread. It's the imageboard way. I am interested in your earnest opinion though.

>>787556

Mere curiosity. I'm not seeking validation. And what are you talking about? There's plenty of good discussion and analysis here, otherwise I wouldn't even lurk.

Why I like Space Dandy: the multiverse is a key plot device, laid-back scif-fi, incredibly juicy art-style, a soundtrack I still listen to on the reg, even the dub is good, buddhist themes, takes the story to places I don't expect, the spiritual successor to Cowboy Bebop, easily enjoyed in small doses as well as binges, and boobies

I'm not the guy, but you're not making you look any better here, or making a case for your points.

In fact, I've never watched it, but I share the opinion that you find it overly good because you're just too green.

I'll watch it and hope that you at least have a point, otherwise I would be wasting my time taking the bait of a faggot OP, and in this case, shame on me.


 No.787572

It's good but only for the good episodes, and you're probably gnew as fuck if this is your favourite one.


 No.787576

I haven't watched this yet because the only available subs seem to be by either commie or funi. I'd rather kill myself than read commie subs and funi ruins enjoyment by itself.

You have a point. Here's my list of the bad eps:

I remember really liking this when it came out. It’s from the same guy who made Cowboy Bebop, but it is just different enough to stand on its own. I really like the soundtrack

>I am interested in your earnest opinion though.

I wasn't joking; you need to watch more anime, and then you'll see outside of its humor Dandy isn't anything special. It's a fun show but if it's your favorite then it can't be stressed that you really, really should watch more shit. And maybe lurk more.

>>787576

You might as well watch it with Funi subs. In all likelihood they couldn't have fucked with the sub script since they worked closely with the Japs to get a simultaneous broadcast in the states, so they were most likely under close translation scrutiny by the Japs. It's not like you would be giving them money anyway.

>>787585

There is nothing wrong with liking something like Cowboy Bebop or Space Dandy. /a/ isn’t /v/ where the ultimatum is “conform to our tastes or gtfo.” One of the best things about /a/ is that the mindset is, “You should try to widen your frame of reference, but there is still redeeming qualities.” >>787599 is a good example of that.


 No.787604

I gave it a chance while it was airing but I couldn't get into it all that much. Something about episodic shows makes me less interested in following them.

>>787599

I do remember the voice acting in the english dub being of decent quality, can't comment on the script though.

Are there any other shows that have done simultaneous eng/jap broadcasting like Dandy?


 No.787610

>>787604

The first Ghost in the Shell movie had a simultaneous Japanese, American, and UK theatrical release in 1995, as Manga Video were part of the production committee for it. Too bad that dub is really wooden and filled with Manga's trademark swearing.

Space Dandy was good fun, I enjoyed trying to make sense of it when it was purposefully nonsensical (all the shit about different universes and versions of dandy, his repeated deaths). I'm glad they actually addressed it in the last episode, that tipped it over the edge into greatness. Also the dub was top tier and I have never YAMERO'd harder than the episode Dandy and Scarlet were supposed to go on a date and literally walked opposite directions away from each other without realizing it.

I watched a few episodes of the sub and the dub, and I think this is a rare case where the dub is superior in most ways. Part of it is probably the deadpan delivery of the narrator. I don't think it works in text if can't understand the japanese. The high-school musical episode was the only unbearable part about the english dub, and everything else was pretty solid.

I liked it a lot. It has a little bit of everything for everybody, which makes it both great, but also terrible for those who a majority of it does not appeal to. I believe it was wildly creative, and considered it very fresh and engaging. Admittedly, yes, some episodes fall a bit short, but most were excellent in their own episodic vacuums.

21 was my favorite, but I love several of them.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play.

I really admire that it tried to do something different and it improved it's formula a lot during the second season. A lot of the humor wasn't all that good, however. Music was on point though.

I think it's the only dub I've heard that is better than the sub. Dandy's english VA actually nailed the character and didn't sound like most english VAs who monotone like they hate their job.

I like Dandy when he takes things serious.

its decent but nothing too great. List of opinions right here:

>great soundtrack

>great animation and character design

>love the autotune on qt's voice

>a lot of the humor needs improvement, many jokes fall flat

>blatant ripoffs at many points (wacky races)

>dub was great

>many episodes are just awful, muh lawyers episode was literal trash

>absolute waste of the established cowboy bebop universe it backpacks on

>a decent amount of episodes are boring enough that you can skip them completely

>multiverse theme has absolutely no bearing on anything except the ending

>ending is literally retarded and if the narrator is god why the fuck does he need or want a replacement, omnipotent beings can die now?

Final note, why do you care about my opinion of u lad? Isn't this one of /a/'s opinions you give no fucks about :)
