Space Dandy is an adventure story about a crew of alien hunters. The main characters are Space Dandy, a guy obsessed with his hair and babes, QT, his vacuum cleaner/mechanic/navigator Artificial Intelligence and Meow, the free-loading and cellphone obsessed Betelgeusian (A cat-like race). The story happens in the distant future where most of the universe has been explored, IN SPACE. They are essentially bounty hunters with a twist, instead of finding wanted aliens they look for new and rare alien species and hand them into an alien registration center, the rarer the alien the better the payday. The crew is made of very different and sometimes incompatible personality types and they fly all over the universe in search of undiscovered aliens, this often resulting in hilarious and ludicrous situations, IN SPACE.
- OVER THE TOP
- Hilarious
- Breastaurants
- Fun adventures with lovable characters
- It can seem accidentally profound at times (eg. if we were all zombies there would no longer be any wars...)
- What seems wacky at first can end up being very artistic (eg. a mud planet where a fisherman is trying to catch a giant alien was such a beautiful story I felt like Studio Ghibli could have made a feature film about it... and its still funny)
- Dandy is an adamantly crazy, perverted and strong-willed character who is capable of relate-able emotional struggles and inspiring actions, he reminds me of a mix between Cowboy Bebop's Spike and GTO's Onizuka
- Amazing soundtrack, the anime has its own Space Dandy Band (it's literally called that), ranging from awesome opening and ending themes to breathtaking acapella in several-part harmonies
Cons:
- If you are not into the ecchi scene it can be quite off-putting
- If you are epileptic you might die
Verdict:
This anime is comical, lively, action-packed, oddly artistic and humorously profound. Due to its episodic style episodes can be watched consecutively or weeks apart. If you like the Over-The-Top style observed in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill you will enjoy this. It is quite short. Season 1 is 13 episodes and Season 2 is currently ongoing but will probably be a similar length. If you like Adventure Time but with more space and boobs this is the show for you. Needless to say this anime is for older teens. The sub and dub are both great. Ultimately, cool stories, cool characters, cool themes, cool music and fun from the first to last second of each episode.
YES YOU SHOULD WATCH SPACE DANDY
(IN SPACE or at home, if space can't be organised)
