SHAQ ATTACK

The Hawaiian food made me hungry tbh. The narrator was awesome. I learned some science this episode. The planet they were on was weird though. It's funny how Dandy got trolled. That's misunderstanding for ya I guess. Pretty interesting episode overall imo. YOU CAN NEVER SMILE/5

Oh and the OST was dandy this episode.

Dandy all alone can be quite difficult for him. Some planet they landed in when it comes to the poraroca phenomenon. The Uke guy has some strange unique power within him...

That's Bryce Papenbrook voicing that Uke guy right? I could tell by his voice. He did a good job voicing him.

Dr. Gel doesn't seem to give up huh. Surf's up, Baby! Yeah and the ending was pretty, touching I would say, all it wants is a smile.

Got real depressing towards the end there. At least he smiled. Also, next episode preview was weird as hell. Even though only two episodes are out it feels like S2 might be better than S1.

I was creeped out by Ukelele dude although all he ever wanted was to smile. At least he got his wish in the end. Also, the beginning of this episode kind of reminded me of Cromartie.

As i suspected this was a episode more on the serious side of things than the comedy. I really liked it and Id also say this had some of the finest looking animation in the series yet. The final parts of it were really touching and even though he was more or less killing people I still couldnt help but feel bad for the ukulele player in the end.

Who was the voice actor for him btw, I thought it was yuri lowenthal at first but the more it went on the less it sounded like him.

He also voices Eren in AoT. Also was that the Yamato at the end there?

Lastly, I haven't seen awesome anime surfing since Eureka 7, Dandy was awesome on the waves baby.

That Ukulele-Guy definitely gave off some New Orleans vibes there... a bit creepy, but as an antagonist pretty good I thought.

The surfing scene and the OST at that moment was quite awesome. And Space Battleship Yamato saves Space Bum there^^

That alien was creeeepy. I did feel bad for him cause it's pretty obvious how one could end that way. Loneliness can change a person.

Dandy's falcon paunch at the end was great, the surfing was beautifully animated.

Wasn't too sure what was up with Dr.Gel at the end there lmao, MAMAAA!

Good story to this one, not so much comedy, that's fine though. Love the ideas in this series, Watanabe just lets his mind flow.

The past Dandy was still pulled out at the end when present Dandy played that song on the ukelele which is where he heard it when he was talking about it at the start.

Good ep. Not as strong as the last one but I enjoyed it. Pretty hilarious that Dandy won that misunderstanding contest. I felt bad for that alien being the last of its race and all of that just lead to what happen. Well at least in the end it finally was smiling.

Feel a little bad for that alien being the only one of his kind. But his hobby/lifework was a bit creepy, collecting smiles.

Dandy's punch was pretty awesome there, made him "smile" at last. Not bad!

The melody at the end is what Dandy was talking about with Meow. He probably heard it in the Boobies.

Good episode. Next episode's PV was incomprehensible. Expecting something awesome though!

This episode was a bit more serious,but great nonetheless.
Dandy surfing the River of Time was awesome.
And that Yamato reference...so far,this season looks better than the first one.

That was an interesting episode. It might have been the first time that the series included a completely villainous character. The whole surfing through time sequence was pretty awesome though. I didn't catch that the song Dandy played at the end was the same that he was humming at the beginning though, until it was mentioned on here. I think that's a nice touch!

Next episode looks trippy as heck though.

Simply beautiful, a serious episode every time in a while is a pure bliss not that I dislike full comedy. Anyway, I liked the fact that Dandy, felt bad for QT and Meow after all, this proves once again that he's kind hearted.

Animations and music 10/10. The ending scene was really depressing.

Yandere ukelele playing dude. Dandy has all the bases covered. And he's still the champion of misunderstandings.

I really like how this show has episodes committed to comedy and seriousness. Cause they know well that comedy and seriousness in the same episode just really don't mix. The animation of this show never cease to amaze me especially the surfing part, gj bones!
Can't wait for episode 3, cause it seems so fucking crazy.
