70's style scifi?
Watanabe?
Looks like a cross between Bebop and Redline?
BONES at their best?

I'm so sold I'm up for auction.

I was already intrigued by the title, then I opened the PV, saw his hair and-- I'M SOLD, definitely going to watch this. Also loving the old school vibe it's giving out and all, ahhh.

sweeeeeet

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Seeing Otakon Watanabe tweets and every bit of info makes me more excited. Different alien designer for each planet, bunch of different people doing music... Just sounds like an eclectic free for all. Can't fucking wait.

BONES is back :3


its like the old school gang is back and especially the guys who brought Cowboy Bebop
(in case some didn't know, a lot of BONES' staff are from the Sunrise Team who created Bebop :) and its BONES who animated Knockin' on Heaven's Door)

another great news, Dai Sato is back "with BONES"
its been ages since Eureka Seven

felt like crying with happiness really \m/
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch.

I was at the second Q and A with him and got to see the teaser close up. Its beautifully animated and colorful as all hell. It looks so fun and oddly enough he said 80% comedy and that 20% would handle some tragic themes but Im not sure how cause it looks full comedy. Shame thpugh is he said its only scheduled for 13 episodes.

Info from Otakon
Overview said:
Space Dandy isn’t serious at all and will be very comedic. “Like Mushroom Samba every week.”
They want Space Dandy to feel like old-school sci-fi but modern and new at the same time.
They’re trying to make Space Dandy as epic as possible that it surprises everyone watching it.
In the universe of Space Dandy, you can make amazing money from finding aliens on the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
The premise is that Dandy and his crew, OT and Meow, are alien hunters.
It’s set far in the future and the main trio is looking for aliens that no one has ever seen.
The characters ride their spaceship Aloha Oe every week to a new planet. A different planet every week. This means there will be brand new aliens every week.
Space Dandy doesn’t have a single normal dude in its cast of characters.
Bebop was 80% serious, 20% comedy. Space Dandy is the opposite.
In the world of Space Dandy, they listen to all their music on cassette tapes. The latest audio technology is cassettes. MP3s and CDs do not exist.

You left out that its schedualed for 13 episodes, he said in the 2nd Q and A that they ended up getting like 100+ designs for aliens and said if it got popular it could be 100 episodes(though this was obviously a joke) then followed up with if it doesnt get popular it'll only be the schedualed 13 episodes

Dont let this man down, watanabe is a genius and im sure evn witht he 20% serious parts he'll still make us fucking cry. I mean when you think about it samurai champloo was basically a 70% comedy 30% serious show.

Ah it's a throwback? I don't mind that honestly, consider me interested. Although I'm not too much a fan of Cowboy but Champloo was great.

Aside from the silly fanservice.... HOLY FRAKING SHITE. This is beyond amazing... like this level of hype... I don't even know what to say. A retro style space adventure anime with a goofy protag and fucking Shinichiro Watanabe? Did he read my mind or something? this is unreal. Hype level over 9000! Seriously this is probably the most excited I've been for an anime in like 5 years... Ippo coming out next season was great, but this is fucking amazing.

A sci-fi with some focus on aliens done by Shinichiro Watanabe. Sci-fi is always worth a look. Japanese humour tends to fall a bit flat for me, so hopefully the humour will turn out decent since it's primarily comedic.

Nice pv. The audiences reaction when "BOOBIES" flashed on the screen lol

"Space Dandy is... a dandy guy in the space". Mind=blown.

Now, if only Yoko Kanno was behind the music, this would be the anime of the year...

Anyone else hoping that Watanabe will be roping in Kanno Yoko for the music again?

She has to do it~! She is like the obvious choice for this (I'm getting excited just at the thought of a new bebop-like soundtrack). They also are being together on this piano.me project and stuff... It has to be Kanno-sama~!

Bones sucks at adapting but their original work is usually quite good. I'm not going to lie, old-school sex-bombs made me interested... I'm expecting a lot of bad puns with 'dandy' too.

It's not necessarily a loss because it just simply doesn't click with him. Though you are correct that it is his mere opinion.

As for this show, I'm 50-50, don't know if I'll get in or not. I liked Bebop but Champloo not so much.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
