Greetings, Planet KH13. Spaceman Firaga Sensei here, and I'm landing into orbit to bring you a thread about this brand spanking new anime that premiered on Toonami last night (and before it debuted in Japan, too.) It's called "Space Dandy" and its from the same guys that brought us of Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop... If you're not excited yet, you're a f**king moron.
Space Dandy is colorful, wacky, space adventure starring, you guessed it, a guy named Space Dandy. He's a dandy guy, and he's from space. Get it? *rimshot* This guy is a confident and outlandish alien hunter who loves TNA (more A than T though. Actually, I think he prefers A specifically lol). He searches the galaxy to find new species of aliens, and apparantly, he also wants to visit every Boobies restaurant there is and someday own the entire chain. Boobies is basically Hooters in this show. Hooters.... IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE.... Dandy's swagger reminds me of Franky from One Piece. Probably b/c they have similar haircuts. lol (Also, I'm pretty sure Dandy is voiced by Patrick Seitz, Franky's English dub VA)
Things to note: 1) This show is freaking hilarious. Just listening to the dialouge between Dandy, his robot sidekick QT, the narrator who pops in when he wants to and trolls out the audience and whatnot, and other characters as well, is comedic gold. The English dub writers hit the nail on the head, and i hope this keeps going till the very end of the series. 2) Space anime have a habit of picturing space as... well, sorry to say this, but... BORING. Its just blackness and stars and zzzz... but in Space Dandy, its so much more than that. Space is colorful, full of cool looking planets and areas like the Boobies resturant interior, exterior, and Dandy's ship entirely. 3) Overall, the show is colorfully drawn and every little frame you see breathes life onto the TV screen. People who love great animation will love his show.
Anyways, the first episode sees Dandy and QT visiting a Boobies. There, after taking in all the Star Wars-esque atmosphere, with all the aliens and big booty/titty girls/alien girls... they run into a alien who looks like a cat. Don't call him a cat though, he'll get pissed. He claims to be a Beetlejuician, whatever that is, and his name is M-something. Its really hard to pronounce, probably b/c he says it in his native language. So Dandy decides to just call him Meow. We're also introduced to Dr. Gel, a talking gorilla dude with the hair you see on judges who is apparently tracking Dandy. He's also involved with some skull head looking guy who's part of the Gogol Empire, I believe... its not really given too much depth and even the narrator goes "Eh, this isn't important, lets get back to Dandy" . I'm sure we'll get more info on this later. B/c hey, it wouldn't be anime without side plots. The rest of the episode sees Dandy, QT, and Meow getting into wacky shenanigans like going through a huge time warp thingamajigger and then visiting a lone planet, somehow spiraling right into a outrageous chase sequence with a huge ass alien on Dandy and Meow's tail and somehow, a giant robot appears in the mix too.
The ending I don't want to give away b/c its really freaking crazy and hilarious, and its even more funny if you see the outro for what's gonna happen in the next episode. Rest assured that overall, Space Dandy has potential to help kick off the 2014 anime year with a big bang. This is revolutionary stuff people, so for now on, if you can watch Toonami in your area (or if you're like me, record it with the DVR thingy), then sit down, grab some pizza and beer (or soda for the SE peeps), and watch Space Dandy. You're in for a wild ride.
