This was a wonderful episode! It was deep, and moving, and filled with emotions! A great way to cap off the series until the second season airs. Plus, it was written by Dai Sato so naturally the emotion it contained makes sense.

Space Dandy is not what I would typically watch, but I do really like it. It's entertaining, even if its not always funny. I certainly enjoy watching it, and I definitely plan on watching season 2!

There were some episodes that were kind of a miss, but there were lots of hits as well. So I give it an 8/10!

This episode was great! I loved that new opening.

The soundtrack was pretty great throughout the episode, and I liked how they explored QT as a character a bit more.

That second half was pretty intense, too. Great way to end this first season.

I'm curious why they changed the name of Dr. Gel's experiment from the Big Dipper (sub) to what ever it was in the dub?

Great episode subbed and dubbed regardless.

Edit: I forgot to mention this, but I was happily surprised when they subbed the insert song, although now I'm curious about why the never subbed the opening?

Brave Little Toaster. Iron Giant. I couldn't help being reminded of these two movies during this episode.

I always see QT as a girl so this was basically yuri in my eyes .-. But anyway, really looking forward to seeing what they do in the 2nd season, especially with the little bits they've revealed in the latter episodes.

See you later Space Dandy! Or next week because I'll totally be watching the reruns.....

Great episode & great first season. Loved the comedy, surreal scenarios, and beautiful visuals / animation. Not to mention the great soundtrack and occasional feels.

Looking forward to season 2!

I guess I'm the odd one here since I didn't really enjoy the series much. The visuals were great though and Ian Sinclair was the perfect casting choice. Most of the episodes were pretty meh and honestly the series as a whole wasn't anything special imo. Not sure if I'll be back for S2

6/10 (slightly above average)

Lol I thought my Brave Little Toaster comparison was original until I just logged on to post.

Btw I also look at QT as a girl because I haven't watched the dub until today. The original voice acting is even more fem. Oh well, QT is so cute, it broke my heart to see him heartbroken :/

Sometimes this show feels like a lot of different shows in one, more so than just in a reference way. It may have flaws and hype but I enjoyed the ride so far. I will gladly come back for more next season. 7/10

What an end! Similar to Dandy's and Meow's episode, I loved this so much!

8/10 it was an enjoyable ride.

I can't help but feel that the chorus of Viva Namida fits so well with the end of this season, it represents my feelings perfectly.

Viva namida, just shed them, baby
They're not wasted
Can't stop, I love you like this
Namida, namida, that's right

Can you give those tears to me
When you fall, get right back up again
Let's go together! Tell me "This is great" again
Namida, namida, goodbye!

Goodbye indeed, Space Dandy, I will return for sure for the second season.

Best episode yet. The episode with the girl who can switch people's bodies was a close 2nd though. This was really emotional and a captivating episode. Some of the Space Dandy episodes just are flat out uninteresting in my opinion. Most of them are good, but there have been a few where I just flat out don't care about what's going on. But this was a great ending to the first season, and shows that Watanabe shines when he gives us something more serious.

Glad to see other people thought of the "Brave Little Toaster," now I don't feel so old.

As usual, I liked the dub better than the sub, idk it doesn't seem that the sub isn't all that funny most of the time. Maybe the translations I saw were poor as word choice is important for comedy.

8/10 overall
Even with it's less than stellar episodes(although I never considered any of them bad), the good episodes were great. The Zombie episode is my personal favorite, however the Racing, Meow's Home and the Chameleon episodes were riots too. The drama episodes were good too.

Glad season two was green lighted, maybe the break will allow the producers to figure out what worked and have an more consistent second season.

Space Dandy is like taped bits of junk. I don't like junk, but i find it interesting to watch and find something for me. This show is lazy with no points and no direction.It's like "hey, we are bones! we will sell you this taped junk and you will thanks us because we are bones". Meh 5/10 for originality how to tape a piece of junk.Last episode was ok thanks to story about junk. how this show got 2nd season ... too much money to waste?

I can't tell if this show if supposed to be episodic or it will eventually have a plot that somehow magically links all these "to be continued" endings together. Either way I really liked the show as a whole and can't wait to see what season 2 brings.

Few anime manage to tell a complete love story in a single episode with the sheer panache yet subtlety that Dandy did in this episode. And I love the Daft Punkesque soundtrack that it included.

After a slow start Space Dandy won me over. I look forward to season II. Welcome back to form Mr. Watanabe.

This was a good series, some episodes were better than others and the comedy was a bit hit-and-miss, but all in all it met my expectations. I'll be looking forward to season 2 , as for the past 13 weeks it was refreshing watching something as crazy as Space Dandy.
7/10
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Looking forward to season 2. It was an enjoyable series, some episodes were great and others were meh. But I really do respect the variety in this show, it's got originality and makes for a bizarre experience at times.
I'll give this anime a 7.5/10. Here's hoping that S2 will match or improve on what this season did.

Wow, episode 13 completely reversed my opinion of Aya Hirano. Her voice sounds a lot less nasally-sounding and she did an incredible job as the coffee maker. Although it wasn't too original, it was still a well-executed episode. I gave the series a 8/10, mainly due to some of the weaker episodes causing inconsistency in the series.

Probably the most famous Japanese voice actor. You literally have to know nothing about JP voice actors in order to ask this question.

Calm down. First time I heard her name too. Konata and Haruhi, most famous actress among otaku perhaps.

Great finale for me. Original with emotions, a fancy well directed battle, great bgm. I just hope next season will have more great episodes like that.

I find it interesting you're telling me to calm down and not the person who takes the time to respond with "who the fuck is that?" instead of googling it. And no, not just among otaku. She is, as suggested by the two links I provided, probably the most famous Japanese voice actress right now, period.

This anime was pretty unique and quite random at times (in a good way). I love how the last episode of the season ends in a similar crazy way as the first episode did except without a freaking planet blowing up xD Looking forward to S2 this summer.

Just wanted to highlight that in the JP version the toaster - the gruff, revolutionary toaster with the eyepatch, jaded by the rejection of humanity and angry at the way his comrades were discarded - is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka.

Of course they would.
