| I'm personally surprised by how many people are praising this series. I find the jokes too repetitive and not very funny. The animation quality is very inconsistent between episodes. I find a lot of the episodes to be boring as well. I can only think of 3 episodes that I liked. I'll likely finish the series, but I'm definitely not excited to watch it every week. I've seen 9 of the episodes so far and it is definitely not worthy all this praise. |

| If you take this show so seriously, comparing it to Watanabe's other works, you're not going to enjoy it. That said, Space Dandy is a tremendous show for what it does and I thoroughly enjoy it. |

Heredity said: then why'd you single out it being an episodic comedy? obviously i thought you believed every episode was trying to be funny. I actually never specifically called this show an episodic comedy but rather said I watch a lot of shows that are episodic comedies. And in my first post I didn't even mention anything at all about episodic comedies. And comedy is the main focus of this show, despite not every week being a comedy episode. This conversation is just turning into strawmanning at this point. I've already made my point. |
| I find the show to be...just OK. Nothing has really stood out too much, but it can be quite funny at times, although not as funny as others. I actually like the discontinuity of it. I only wish Dr. Gel will get more screen time. Of course we're nearing the half way point, so it's still a bit early to be making final conclusions. |

| It's had a few good(even great) episodes: 5, 9, and 10 especially. And the second half of the zombie episode is one of the rare cases where the comedy actually worked, but it's mostly been disappointing. However, one can't say this show isn't creative, that's for sure. |
| I used to love this show before reading this thread, now my eyes have been opened I realize this show is terrible: flat characters, no plot, absurdly stupid humor... (Sarcastic mode for the above comment ) Yeah, while I do agree that some of the episodes are better than others and the humor sometimes falls flat but that is to be expected with the narration style. I find the episode concepts creative for the most part, love the characters the way they are, plenty of comedy that leaves me rolling on the floor which makes up for the "miss" jokes. I think the animation is excellent and yeah it may have minor inconsistencies (which is fine for a comedy show) but the action scenes go all out. This is just my opinion and I am not trying to convince anyone that the show is this or that. When I watch a show that doesn't meet my expectations nor entertains me, I just simply drop the show and move on. I recently read a review on kotaku in which the author states he does not like the humor of Space Dandy (which is perfectly fine) and compares the show's comedy to some harem anime ("oh boy, one of those shows" I think to myself) as well as defines humor as "subverting expectations" (fair enough). He goes to state the comedy in "Space Dandy" is more or less one-liners or crude boob jokes. Meanwhile the comedy in this harem show is "layered," as jokes are built on top of each other (I thought this was known as a running gag, but have not seen the show in question and didn't understand the humor in his example, but w/e). Anyways, I thought to myself that I'm glad I am easily amused and don't need my comedies to have any sort of "structure," maybe I'm stupid like Dandy himself, idk. The point is that this show will probably not appeal to everyone; also those that wanted the show to be like "Cowboy Bebop" (I mean in terms of overall caliber) are going to be disappointed. Before the show aired, I read an article(Can't find it now so I can only paraphrase what I remember) about Shinichiro Watanabe stating he did not set out to outdo "Cowboy Bebop," but he wanted to make a comedy and that his team "went out of their way to make the show as stupid funny as possible"(something like that anyways.) I'm glad he went this route as it would be very difficult/ambitious to make another Cowboy Bebop as I would think he probably could not foretell Cowboy Bebop would make it the top tens (if not number one) in many Top-anime lists. Know my post is getting too long so I will finish by saying I enjoy Space Dandy for what the show is instead of contrasting how it is Not like anime such and such. |

pakoko said: Lol poor OP, all he wanted to do was start a discussion. But I did want to see how everyone felt about the anime in general. I like Space Dandy for its creativity, randomness, and philosophy (?). However, I'm wondering if the "all star" cast and directors have a specific direction they want to take this show to... Every episode I'm left confused and wanting something more. The fact that the show is episodic doesn't help at all either. I guess it's just my preference to prefer anime with some sort of focus, but what did you guys think? Do these adventures seem to have even a vague sense of connection to one another that I'm not seeing? Or is it really just a hodgepodge of various adventures that Dandy and his crew goes on? I'd like to see if anyone has like a mindblowing prediction explaining the randomness of this show. P.S. I do have to agree with some of the users in this discussion that the characters are not necessarily that appealing, or even that well developed. Dandy's always Dandy, Meow always Meow, and QT always QT. Iunno, I'd say the show needs more boobs... Clearly they don't have a clear direction |
| It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on. |
| Im getting pretty bored myself watching this show. The only reason Im still watching this is because I dont like dropping anime. Im actually surprise its getting a next season. |

SolviteSekai said: sentience said: At least this is better than most things that are airing right now. Quality isn't consistent but it is still fairly entertaining on certain weeks. This show is better than Nisekoi, Noragami, Hamatora, Kill la Kill, Nagi to Asukara and Golden Time? Other than Noragami and Kill la Kill, I don't care about the rest. |
| It is mediocre. Don't care if it's not trying to be "intelligent" but it's far to abstract half the time and not overly entertaining. zerochicken said: SolviteSekai said: sentience said: At least this is better than most things that are airing right now.

Nisekoi = lameass romance at least average only cuz shaft Noragami = above average traditional urban fantasy, good music Hamatora = average urban fantasy with boring flashy art design Kill a Kill = gurren lagann with chicks which is good and so is art Nagi no Asakura = angst + kid = garbage, above average art Golden Time = above average romance, mediocre art, Space dandy = great art direction, weird story but at least is fresh All that. All of that made me laugh. |

| I feel the need to reiterate again how many haters there seem to be for this show. It's got an average of 7.6 (my god what a joke so many shows out there that pale in comparison) yet if you just go through the episode topics, 5/5 is not just the winner, its OVERWHELMINGLY the winner in every poll, I've read nearly every post as the weeks gone by simply because of how much I enjoy space dandy and I can honestly say 90% of them are praise. |

The majority of people who come to episode discussions like the show to begin with. True this. And other shows of the season have even higher percentages of 5/5s. I haven't seen majority of the other season's shows, but Kill la Kill for example has a lot in the 90s. |

| You get it or you don't I guess. Sorry if you don't, you can always rewatch Sword Art Online or something lmao Space Dandy has the ambition to try less than standard approaches to anime, but I guess people just value "doing better with the same" rather than "be bold and try new things but ultimately has it's flaws." But to be quite honest, I'm not that surprised that so many anime viewers are not into Space Dandy. Just look at the anime industry, the amount of shameless pandering that goes uncontested is quite discouraging. I try to see anime more as an art rather than just entertainment or business. PS, regarding shows this season, I think the only ones that I like a bit more are: -ace of diamond -hajime no ippo rising (I have a soft spot for sports anime) -hunter x hunter -Tonari no seki kun (This show is great, but let's be honest, I'm no writer, but I can think of so many different things seki can do in class, so it's hard for me to credit it for "amazing" writing). -gin no saji I think noragami is alright. I think it's well executed, just not intellectually/creatively stimulating. It's pretty clear who the target audience (Yato's spiel before fights screams chuunibyou lol). Kill La Kill is in the same vein. very very very good art and aesthetics, characters are likable, but ultimately the story is very simplistic. The show is also marred by embarrassing fan service and transformation scenes. Seriously, this and Yato's fight sequences are clearly time-wasters as to delay advancing the plot in meaningful ways. They are both fun shows to watch, but they do not explore much creatively in the same way space dandy does. SD plays around with many concepts in EACH episode that is coupled with (imo) well done humor that ultimately trumps the allure of these so-called better shows. |

That being said, I like Space Dandy, but it has not been as outstanding as some other anime. It's funny, but I've found other anime this season funnier. I could also care less for "intellectually stimulating." Entertainment is entertainment, and it's mostly elitists that cry about that stuff, so beware of getting labelled as such. People like to throw that stuff around, and some will also say that Space Dandy falls into that category. Entertainment in itself is still an art, so trying to give it some other meaning just unnecessarily complicates it. I do agree though that the slice of life genre is dominating the market with less interesting titles being released. SD is one of the few shows that offers the extraordinary. |

I just feel that with all the praise some shows are getting I'm putting my thoughts out there that hey, these shows are pretty fun to watch but I still think they lack a certain aspect that makes me want to re-watch them years down the line. But you're right, there are some shows that miserably fail in trying to incorporate "intellect" into the show, but there will always be shows like that and at the end of the day. I respect the effort, but I won't lie about quality. I also think the whole "entertainment is entertainment" is the sort of mentality that perpetuates mindless television not just in anime but television in general (Think Reality TV). I think people should always strive to do more with entertainment. I can tell you feel somewhat the same way, just not as critical as me (sorry). I thinks shows like Gin No Saji are exactly what needs to seen more. It has all the things that people generally like to see in anime, but incorporates a lot of good themes that can be applied to life. I suppose I'm expecting something too specific, but the way I see it, good fiction is always connects back to the real world. I think that's kind of what I mean by "intellect." Not necessarily deep deep philosophical questions or anything. And I think that's what Space Dandy does as well. In my opinion, the biggest flaw of the show (Cowboy bebop) relies exactly in the episodic narrative, which severely hindered meaningful character development and any attempting at establishing a plot. The same criticism has been made for SD and I think it's understadable if you compare it to other anime shows out there. However, I believe this is a conscious choice on the writers part that works just fine for me. Character development is not "hindered" in my point of view, rather it's left open so that judgment is made more on part by the viewer. The accumulation of experiences the characters are put through is what creates the image of the character in the mind of the viewer. I think the subtleties of the characters in Cowboy Bebop is what makes is so good, character development is not handed to you on a plate. Space Dandy is a different story, Dandy is dumb, Meow is lazy, QT...well is a robot. I think the whole premise throws character development out the window. The show is more conceptual than emotional I think. |

| Although it isn't as great as I initially thought it would be, it does provide a decent amount of entertainment and I find it reminiscent of the shows like Johnny Bravo from my youth. Space Dandy probably won't teach you the meaning of life, but on the other hand it'll give you a good laugh or two. |

| I still don't understand how people think that this show is good. Sure, it had some cool moments here and there, but it definitely did not live up to the hype it was receiving. If I remember correctly, the zombie episode didn't even make sense. They all turned into zombies, and I don't remember them finding a cure or anything in that episode. What happens next? The next episode continues with them all being back to normal.. It seemed like a bunch of the episodes were just completely random. Part of me wants to just finish the last episode, and be done with the show. Another part of me wants to give the second season a try, which I probably will, and just hope for the best. |

I think it's almost unavoidable that their worldview or something from this world influences their writing, even if it is subtle. If you can name some shows that can kind of support your point, I'd maybe understand a bit better. |
| I like the feel of this anime because every episode is a new adventure, it doesn't need to tell the best story ever it just is what it is, a fun show about space and boobies. It's a 8/10 for me |

| The people who dislike Space Dandy are most likely anime only fans who never watch western cartoons especially comedic western cartoons. Space Dandy is structured like comedic western cartoons like Futurama, Family Guy etc. it's not supposed to be consistent at all and of course because of it's episodic nature some episodes will be hit or miss. XBlaze said: That's a common trope in comedic western cartoons which Space Dandy is structured after. Things that happen in one episode don't necessarily carry over to the next episode.If I remember correctly, the zombie episode didn't even make sense.

AcidPunk said: Well said. Every episode of Space Dandy has it's own story which is concluded at the end of said episode thus allowing for every episode to be a different adventure.I like the feel of this anime because every episode is a new adventure |

| I don't like space dandy because it is terrible. Don't force a bunch of underlying reasons on it. The show sucks. Japan knows it. Most of mal knows it. The only people who seem to still make excuses for it are people who liked cowboy bebop so much that they will defend every show related to it for the rest of time. |
SolviteSekai said: That is just your opinion, just because you think it's terrible doesn't mean it is. It makes sense that it wouldn't be that well received in Japan because it is western influenced like Cowboy Bebop. It obviously would appeal a lot more to western audiences (mainly American) than Japanese otakus. Where is your proof that most of Mal thinks it sucks? That is a generalization ,not everyone who likes Space Dandy is a Cowboy Bebop fan. Space Dandy isn't even that similar to Cowboy Bebop, the only similarities they have are that they were created by Watanabe, are episodic and set in space and the characters use a spaceship to travel around.I don't like space dandy because it is terrible. Don't force a bunch of underlying reasons on it. The show sucks. Japan knows it. Most of mal knows it. The only people who seem to still make excuses for it are people who liked cowboy bebop so much that they will defend every show related to it for the rest of time. |

DrGeroCreation said: SolviteSekai said: That is just your opinion, just because you think it's terrible doesn't mean it is. It makes sense that it wouldn't be that well received in Japan because it is western influenced like Cowboy Bebop. It obviously would appeal a lot more to western audiences (mainly American) than Japanese otakus. Where is your proof that most of Mal thinks it sucks?

Then why isn't it well received in America? Or or the internet? Or anywhere? The fucking show is full of pandering, fan service, and dumb jokes. It is the perfect example of something Japanese Otaku like. Also thats exactly why fanboys should stop defending it. It sucks. The fact that it was directed by Watanabe doesn't magically make it good. By that fucking logic, Samurai Flamenco was AOTY 2013 because the director of Durarara made it. |

Episodes 2, 5, 9, 10, 13 were great, ergo the show doesn't suck. I know a lot of people would appreciate if you would stop spamming your opinion like it's fact when it obviously isn't and you don't seem to know what you are talking about.It sucks.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
