| Good to know Dandy somehow gets a girl for his own |
 |
| Amazing episode. Just amazing. Now I can't wait for OST 2 to come out. The music is just too good. |
| The music really stood out for me this episode. I almost felt like I wasn't watching what I'd usually expect from Space Dandy for a moment there. Best episode yet by far for me. Also that girl reminded me of Shiro from Deadman Wonderland. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Dandy looks pretty good with his hair down. I normally prefer the comedy episodes to the surreal serious episodes but this was just fantastic. |

zXReMXz said: This episode was trippy as hell but so good because now I'm confused. Did Dandy die or not? Because it showed his ship had crash landed onto the planet's surface a few times, but then at the end it shows they escaped the nebula with Meow and QT being fine but with Dandy seemingly dead or unconscious on the ship's controls. BUT then of course, the girl supposedly transported Dandy to another dimension but at the end it shows Dandy on the planet seemingly having accepted his being dead and hangs out with the girl now. My take on the episode is that the consciousness of the persona of Planet Limbo, Limbo-chan for short, transcends dimensions. Dandy has died plenty of times and it seems that each time he dies, Limbo-chan sends him to another dimension, which is why there is no continuity in the Dandy-verse. Limbo-chan must have met Dandy countless times already. I inferred this from when Limbo-chan saw multiple images of Dandy in the sky train and said "It can't be!" or something like that. During Dandy's and Limbo-chan's many encounters, Limbo-chan somehow fell in love with him at one point. The Dandy in the suit in the end is probably another dead Dandy and he saw a cute girl and decided to say hi or something. It's either that or he went back to the planet at one point in the future to visit Limbo-chan. Man, this episode was weird as fuck but strangely enjoyable. |

| Probably top3 if not fav ep of all Dandy for me yet. All of my fav eps are when Dandy gets a girl attached to him XD The atmosphere this ep gave was really awesome. I felt so calm and soothed with the music and scenery :3 That girl looked really pretty and her doing that because she fell in love with Dandy was sweet ^^ Well, I'm sure that if Dandy just let his hair style like the way he has it this ep, he'd be getting lots of bitches :P He looks so cool like that. Glad he stayed with her at the end. One Dandy scores :D |
 |
| I also must say this is probably the best looking episode of the series yet, and that says ALOT for a series that looks as good as this. |

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 |
| Probably the best episode this from season 2. That feeling again, where I last felt during episode 5 season 1, the loli alien and Space Dandy. Thanks space dandy, it warmed my heart for a moment. And I have tests tomorrow, it just chilled me well. |
| Like everyone is saying, what a pretty episode to look at. The song choices for this episode were also well composed and unique. I liked having the ending be a montage of Planet Limbo, and not the usual ending song "Too easy game, too easy game, too easy gamuh..." Kind of gave off a Mushishi feel in terms of the atmosphere, mixed together with Shaft-style animation. Loved every second of it.

Most of the times Space Dandy, like you said, has no continuity, so I've grown accustomed to taking each episode at face value and not overanalyzing it. Your explanation, however, gives this episode so much more meaning to the whole Dandy series. |

| This was a ver interesting episode. Reminds me a little of Spirited awy, at least the visuals on some parts. |
| Crazy creative and I loved the artstyle. And OST, of course. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |

I am so happy they finally gave more insight into why Dandy always comes back. This episode is by far my favorite. It's animation is stunning, it's character designs are stunning, the music is peaceful yet sounds so tragically happy. The serious tone the episode went with too, all the dead folks were talking about philosophy and nonsense, but of course they were, that's all you can do in a world like that. Remarkable storytelling, combining the supernatural with sci-fi very well. We got plenty of backdrop for Limbo, we got insight into Dandy's constant deaths, tragic and rather dark story. Remarkable. Favorite episode and cannot wait for more. |

I hope people don't think Shaft invented bizarre imagery in anime or something. |
| I'm speechless. I loved everything about this episode. The visuals are so beautiful, and I really need the full soundtrack to this episode. The music was very peaceful and beautiful, but still otherworldly. It was like a very sadly beautiful dream. I have no idea what it all means, but right now I don't even care. |
| Most visually stunning episode yet. It was trippy as hell but the art was gorgeous and the music was spot on as always. It might not have been a typical "fun" Dandy episode but I thought it was beautiful. 5/5 |
| "Alive or dead, I'm me" pretty much sums up Dandy as a whole. Like everyone else said, this was such a stunning episode. The music gave me goosebumps throughout and it was a nice change of pace. Not even sci fi and still worked wonderfully. I'm happy this series is doing whatever it wants creatively. |
| Liking the creativity of this episode. The art style change mixed things up pretty well along with the calmer atmosphere. Really curious about Planet Limbo now, but I suppose this show will move on considering its episodic nature and the next episode preview. |
| Bittersweet and surreal, you never know what you can expect from each Space Dandy episode and this one was really amazing, definitely some deep stuff that could be interpreted I don't think anyone has said this yet, but this episode reminds me of the game 'Limbo' (funnily enough), the visuals, sounds and especially some scenes (such as the cable car) It was kinda like a whole intricate movie but episode sized, sasuga watanabe |
| -The blade of the forefather who introduced the spirit of the roundabout- |
| Loving that animation in this episode. |
| I think this is actually a lot more then simple then we're making it out to be. Dandy died Limbo-chan brought him back to life but within another universe The reason she was willing to let him go was because she knew he would be back as after all death can't be stopped. The Dandy we saw at the end was Dandy after dying of natural causes which I believe would explain the suit. Atleast that's my take on it. |
| Best episode of season 2 so far and possibly the whole series, beautiful artwork and awesome character designs. Limbo was really cute. Like Dandy said, pretty deep themes going on in this (though not like we haven't it before). I'd kill for an arc based on this but we do see more stuff that backs up alternate universe theory. |
Nasty001 said: Shit, I'm just not getting any of it. ^ Not even sure if I liked the episode or not but one thing is for sure, the animation is amazing. |
 |
RediceRyan said: That was an amazing episode. Haven't seen many anime as surreal and strange as that. Such beautiful animation and scenery. I want to believe this will all come together in the next 4 to 5 episodes That is my hope as well. |
 |
| I think this was my favorite episode in the series. This season is starting to recover from its crappy start. But judging from the preview for next episode, I'm not sure if next episode will be as good as the last three. I really hope that this episode is actually of importance and wasn't just there to add a more emotional episode. I also hope that Adelie comes back. If these two wishes of mine are met, this could be a really good second season. Sadly, I have a feeling neither will be met. I really hope AT LEAST one of them is! |
|
| wow, that was amazing does anyone know an anime that's pretty much just like this episode (that isn't mushishi) |

| This season's on a roll. This episode was beautiful, visually and aurally. I don't care much for the surreal, but I will except planet Limbo. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
JizzyHitler said: This is by far my favorite episode yet, it was simply beautifully and the imagery was so impressively dark but creative with a hint of magic to it. This was just a really captivating episode for me So difficult to describe how I felt about this episode, but this would be the closest to it :) This episode is definitely my favorite so far. The surreal art style and atmosphere as well as the music, and not to mention the philosophical dialogue here and there somehow makes me want to cry, and I really don't know why. I really liked the scenery at the end and the ED for this episode. But lol at the band's name "Ogre You Asshole." |

I hope people don't think Shaft invented bizarre imagery in anime or something. I probably only said that because Dandy reminded me of Araragi. I think I meant to say Shaft-style character design rather than animation. In terms of animation, this episode was nothing like a typical Shaft anime (no abstract backgrounds or head tilts). |
| Made no sense but it was quite enjoyable. |
 |
| This episode really awed and impressed me with visuals, OST, and of course had to have cute planet girl to top the cake off. |
| I initially thought that Dandy was firebending near the beginning of this episode with how flames bursted out of his mouth as he yelled. |
 |
| This episode and its souls reminded me of mushi. Limbo even said that it is a place between this and that world like in Mushishi. |
| Pretty cool episode. |
  |
| Seriously, this season is kicking major ass so far with a string of amazing episodes. |
| This episode was beautiful. |
| So. Dandy choose to revive in the continuity of this episode, at the expense of that girl's "sacrifice". While at the end, we're shown a different reality where he choose to stay with the girl on that planet instead. This is the best episode so far in this season. Very interesting. And damn, the girl was cute. |
| Almost fell asleep, but was another great episode. |
