Space Dandy is a 26 (splitted in 2 parts)episodes anime series,directed by Shinichiro Watanabe(The guy behind Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo)
In my opinion this is his best work yet .
Where to start...the story is mostly episodic.We follow the adventures of Dandy and his friends in search of rare aliens.And thats it,well..kinda.There is a bit of plot going in the last few episodes of season 2.
The episodic nature of the show and the setting are the strongest parts of the show in fact.The whole show is SUPER versatile and any kind of story works PERFECTLY well.There are different kinds of episodes-with drama,comedy,romance,action,mystery,you name it.The whole team was incredibly creative with every single episode.We explore different planets,characters,aliens,universes.Our characters die in few episodes and in the next they are alive.A lot of people hated that and thought that it would never be explained.Weil they explain it in the midlle of the second season and it's very interesting.
A lot of people dislike the show,because of the characters and the humour.Well in my opinion the cast is great.They are not your typical anime cliche and have positive and negative traits.Every character from the main cast gets their screen time and moments of glory.The end of season 2 focuses on character development and a bit of drama.
My favourite episode from season 1 was ep 5 and from season 2- ep 10.About the humour-it's not your typical anime comedy,which can be hit or miss.It depends on your taste.
The animation-in my opinion this is the best looking anime tv series.The design of the planets and the aliens is amazing.The character design is stylish.The animation style changes between some episodes to reflect the tone.The opening is super catchy and presents the show amazing.
I would give it an easy 10/10 it's not perfect obviously,but this is probably the most creative show out there.
