Lol, Dandy got himself into more trouble again. Oh boy...

I didn't expect Dandy to get into trouble with court. I thought the witnesses and testimony battles were kinda interesting to watch. VERDICT. I was kinda surprised that Dandy didn't say a word. If I was him, I would of defended himself fiercely. Still, I thought the episode was quite creative by adapting twitter and Tamazon (parody for Amazon?) concepts.

Friendship backstabbing is serious business el oh el. Good nap Dandy, good nap.

Lol... He was alive all a long. Pretty funny how Dandy was asleep that whole time. DO I SEE PLOT IN MY DANDY AT THE END? Dat theme music at the end too.

Wow it feels like I'm watching Law and Order in this episode. I pretty much liked how the animation flows and how the camera zooms out to get an intensity feel on the court. I am pretty surprised that Dandy didn't talk throughout the episode. Guess the trial was wraps up and Dandy sleeping the entire thing had me laughing.

While next week looks as if it's intended to be a series finale, I hope it's open-ended enough to leave the possibility of another season if Bones wants to make one.

I imagine all the Dandys from the other episodes will make an appearance next episode since the multiverse theory is pretty much cement solid at this point.

So I heard that the reason there wasn't much for "Animation" this episode was because they spent so much money on the finale. Lmao

Funny because despite the lack of animation it was very well done artistically. Some of the designs were really cool, especially the scientist guy.

Some satire on social media and the effect it has on people too... Lmao

Nice episode overall.

^ Yeah I remember that. Little animation this ep, lots of panning scenes and pretty clever camerawork. I liked it.

God the finale must be pants on head crazy, looking forward to seeing Space Dandy go out with a blast :D

Geez, I wouldn't want to kill someone for blocking me on Twitter.... I would be mad, but not in a murderous way.... (I don't even have a Twitter account, though....)

LOL Dandy. He had been sleeping through the whole trial!

I'm sad that this anime will be ending next week, but the next episode looks really good! Can't wait to see it!

Great episode, even if as someone who's actually participated in criminal law proceedings (assistant to a public defender, not one of the parties themselves), it made me want to tear my hair out.

Really looking forward to next week though, as sad as it's going to be. They better renew this for another season, because Dandy is seriously the best thing in anime in a long time.

Dandy getting trialled for murder!
Those things Dandy thought when he got his crew ^^
The murder weapon being from a kid that wanted to kill his friend for blocking him in Chwitter!
Rose is such a loving wife.
The wrestler didn't even die from the ball.
Dandy just has been sleeping through the trial!
Dandy not having DNA though xD Wonder what is that about. Those aliens with the armour and spears ready! ^^

Bringing back the fact that Dandy has pyonium in him after a whole two seasons. This anime hahahaha I was one of the people that was like, "Oh yeah he has that weird energy source thingy in him. Almost forgot about that."

Doesn't really matter if they butchered how a trial should be done; it was still intense and pumped me up for next week's finale.

This episode was intense, even if focused only on the trial. Cue that Phoenix Wright music.
Dandy don't give no shits, sleeping with a death sentence on his head.
Nice Shining reference, 'REDRUM' in the murderous kid's Chwitter.
The finale looks like it's going to be awesome and explain a lot of things.

I wonder what's going on with the DNA reaction being all messed up. A two parter finale will be cool wrapping everything up. Pretty bummed though...dandy is something I would like to go on for at least another season.

Wrong. He doesn't even HAVE DNA lol.

The Professor at the end was thinking something...maybe he's 'god' or something since his cells have no DNA but only pyonium, the so-called god particle.

So this may be the reason Dr. Gel and the Gogol Empire are after Dandy, because he is some superior and/or ultra rare being.

My theory is that Dandy is actually some form of a rare alien.. that scientist guy seemed like he realized something about Dandy at the end and was shocked and said "could it be!"... Probably something to do with that fact that he doesn't have DNA and the pyonium.. Probably why Dr. Gel wants to capture him...

Watch Dandy try to turn himself in for the reward money when he discovers this

It would have been a lot more dramatic had Dr. Gel been in that crowd of soldiers which surrounded Dandy.

Finally, there will be continuity between the episodes.

This was another good episode for the second season of Space Dandy!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the first sort of two parter episode goes. Also it looks like Johnny will return for the final battle, or whatever! So I'm pumped!

That's a really interesting theory. Maybe that army at the end going after him is trying to capture him since he's a rare alien.

This was interesting. To me, it always seemed that the Gogol empire wanted to capture Dandy because of a series of events that happened by chance (black hole from season 1 anybody?) but right now I'm really happy that it's continuous.

Also, I just loved the camera positions. Even with the lower budget, they did an amazing job creating something unique.

Court room drama that leads to nothing(not rly), the funny part was involving the socials media fight with the two kids. Not really sure whats that ending all about, guess we find out in the last episode.

If you're gonna do low budget animation, this episode shows hot to do it. The direction was astonishingly good.

This series, I cannot stop hyping it. They crammed more creativity and inspiration in every single episode this second season than in any series I can think of.

Knew Dandy had to be sleeping the whole time, lol. I also thought that the ball must've been hit from the kids on accident. Still, was surprised to find out that the alien wasn't even dead XD and that the Hiroshi kid had some mad killing intent due to being blocked...social media is a killer.

I didn't even really think about the little animation in this episode because I did notice the cool camera work.

No DNA? Dandy must be a rare alien himself...looking forward to the last episode! Seems like lots of things will happen ^^

Oooooooooh, so they are trying to connect this episode with the finale, well that makes sense. It seems they are really hyping up the Grand Finale, I bet it's gonna look amazing.

As for the episode, it was indeed enjoyable, with a strange feeling. I simply love how every week we have a more stranger and unique episode. The ending was kind of trollish but it was fine, I think this episode's purpose was to be a bridge to confirm us the multi universe thing and that Dandy is related to that, so now from the next episode they can connect the main topic of the show.

9/10 right now, will hold the judgement for the Finale though.

I re-watched on the train back home, and it just dawned on me that they wrote this episode with the classic 'Twelve Angry Men' in mind. Even the name of the alien species, "Lumetian" is a homage to the films director Sydney Lumet IMO.
