Nice to see you back Dandy!

Trying to bring in a cow usually doesn't work...

I'm spotting so many parodies in this episode! Someone should try to make a list...

Dragon Ball
Gundam
Gatchaman
Attack on Titan
Ideon
I also loved the fact that all of the different realities had a different animation style. It adds to the utter craziness of the show.

I ended up cracking up when the narrators ended up arguing amongst themselves. Plus, the introduction of Emo Dandy was pretty great as well. But the best part about the ending was how he got the opening. That and his desire to die, despite drinking a nutritional drink.

If all the episodes are as good as this one, its going to be a wild ride!

Im only half way through and i already think this is the most creative episode yet. Also holy hell were there so many references, They werent even easy to recognize references either. They freaking referenced ideon of all things.

Lets hope the 2nd half is just as great.

Nice to see Dandy back on TV.

This episode was full of parodies and references. It wasn't bad for a season premiere so I look forward to seeing more new episodes of Dandy.

All those references, I couldn't keep up with all of them, but I'm glad to see Dandy back, I just love the creativity of this show, and that Emo Dandy had me cracking up (I felt so bad for the guy though), I look forward to the coming weeks of this season

My goodness, this was fucking funny. So clever and creative. Loved the Schrodinger's cat gag.

Amazing start to the 2nd season of Dandy, and easily the best premiere of the Summer season so far.

Titan Dandy was hilarious, but suicidal Dandy was the funniest thing I've ever seen from this show.

SAVING IT!

Let's go over what we got:
We got Schrodingers cat, string theory, the Dandy crew as mobile suit pilots, the Dandy crew performing transformation jutsu, job openings with 7 days off a week, and depresed Dandy who will apparently be a permanent part of the crew, all while explaining everything that happened thus far.

Really funny episode, i loved the Michel Jackson dandy laughed every time he just randomly pop'd up grabin his crotch doin his thing xD. And emo dandy was very funny also, couldn't help but laugh for his reasons on wanting to die. This is like the only gag anime i actually really enjoy and the dub is really well imo.

That was such a blast of an episode. Oozing with creativity, colors, satirical and random comedy. Wow that was great.

I loved ANIMU DANDY "HEE HEE!!" xD

Emo Dandy of course was just plain hilarious.

Watanabe must have taken quite the time out of his day to draw all those different Dandy's, Meows, and QT's.

Also, they kept Viva Namida. Mixed feelings I guess, I mean I would have liked a new OP, but honestly, the original is perfect as it is with one of the best OP songs I've heard in anime. Soooo...

The first 3 realities were a Birth reference: (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2607/Birth) from the art style to the animation. A great homage/tribute to Mr. Yoshinori Kanada.

2nd season? I haven't even finished the 1st season.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I can't think of a way to start a new season. I haven't laughed this hard for sooo long. My personal fav of the series. Let's just hope we get at least ½ the quality we did with this one in future episodes. It will remain a masterpiece that way.

My favourite jokes:
RPG Hero MJ Dandy & Emo Dandy + his companions,
cat in the box,
Narrator battle,
slot machine and most of all
DAT ENDING!

I love how Dandy can't even spell out his name right. "D N A ..." XD

That was quite a ride meeting all the team Dandy from different parallel worlds.
Liked the "Schrödinger's Cat" reference.
Dat Titan Dandy though!

I feel a little bad for the emo Dandy. Poor guy is stuck with such weirdos..
Hope the narrator was joking about the next episodes featuring the emo Dandy team only. :O

Good start. I wonder why so much cosmic strings appeared in the first place anyway..

Glad to see Dandy and his brave space crew...in space, back for season 2! And what a great way to premiere! A very creative episode that explores the infinite possibilities of parallel universes to bring us, Michael Jackson Dandy, Gatchaman Dandy, Gundam Dandy, Attack on Titan Dandy, and who could forget the life of this crazy party, Emo Dandy?? lol anyway I have high hopes for the rest of this season since the previous season was so good!

"Imagine how much my life sucks. I'm stuck with a scary looking guy I can't understand, who carries around a helmet who I have never seen him wear, and a sickly old codger in a pink unitard who insists that he's actually a robot."

Best and weirdest part of the show xD

Well this episode was just DANDY, BABY!

I really missed Spacy Dandy and I'm so happy they didn't change the OP / ED (because they're amazing)

So many references... Goku/Michael Jackson Dandy, Gundam Dandy, Naruto Dandy, Attack on Dandy. Emo Dandy was hilarious (being Emo Dandy is suffering); Schrodinger Meow was great "oh he's dead; he's alive; he's dead; he's alive" and creepy Meow was... well incredibly creepy.

10/10 Loved it. See you next week baby!
