If their "aggressive" attempts at international distribution actually result in a noteworthy fast turnaround for US TV airing, I'll be impressed.

That's really the most interesting thing about this so far.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

God I need this in my life so badly

 

[Desi]

Bit disappointed I missed the panel. Wasn't allowed to take off from work.

 

[Village]

I have been looking for this gif, I like and have no idea what anime it is from.

Show seems awesome.

 

[unpopularblargh]

While I have some faith in Watanabe, I don't expect this to completely avoid the pitfalls associated with this style. At least it should be better than Redline.

There's people who don't like Redline? Wha?

Kimi ni Todoke.

Thank you

* had been looking for this for quite a long time*

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Inject it into my veins.

 

[Fornaximus]

Can't wait. I love everything he makes.

Hope [adult swim]/TOONAMI can find a way to pick this up. Seems interesting

Space Dandy?



Space....Dandy?

Is a dandy guy in the space.

 

[Ezalc]

Fans who saw a clip a few months ago at a Chilean convention said it was Yoko Kanno.

Oh my gooooooooooooooood. Can't wait for that godly jazz soundtrack. Based Watanabe.

 

[hateradio]

I hope it's good / Will watch!

Thanks, Branduil. A lot of people miss the "the" from that quote.

 

[iavi]

it's been pitched to Adult Swim.

Samurai Champloo was a lock for Adult Swim while in production, and was a hit, so I can see this getting the same treatment.

 

[Cameron122]

Haven't been hyped for an anime in a long time.

Feels good.

 

[watershed]

Can't wait. This looks like it will be really fun to watch.

 

[SporeCrawler]

dude reminds me of

Dandy House Wada!

 

[Envelope]

I finally remembered what this show was reminding me of, Valerian and Laureline

which is a totally good thing

Sadly the English dub won't be nearly as good.
Also I second that sentiment.

[GDGF]

A dandy guy in the space indeed.

Glad to have a new anime to look forward to!

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Neat. I guess I get my next anime series beyond Jojo.

Hopefully it's closer to Champloo than Bebop in quality.

"Said no one else ever."

 

[Totakeke]

Watched the cam PV 20 times now, need a direct feed version so I can watch it all over again.

Space Dandy?



Space....Dandy?

Who are you to doubt Space Dandy?

 

[duckroll]

More info from the press conference and second Q&A today:

- Bebop was 80% serious, 20% comedy; Space Dandy is 80% comedy, 20% serious.

- Dandy is a positive guy who doesn't dwell on mistakes or failures and just does whatever he likes. He thinks big, doesn't care about small details.

- Meow is very lazy, and uses twitter on her phone all the time. She looks like a cat, but she's an alien from planet Beetlejuice.

- The show will be episodic and they will be visiting a new planet every week. There are many different designers and each planet will be different types and styles of designs for the aliens.

- The main villain is Professor Gel, a gorilla alien who comes up with evil schemes every week. His sidekick is Bee from the planet Cucumber.

- Honey works at a Hooters-like establishment in space.

- The Aloha Oe was designed to look like a canoe because Hawaii is awesome.

- There are about 20 different artists working on the music for Space Dandy, with 3-4 songs per artist. No instruments invented after 1984 were allowed.

- There are already over 100 alien designs, so they can make a really long show if it's popular (?!).

Woah. Awesome.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Wonder if there'll be any Koike aliens in this one.

 

[Ninjimbo]

The comedy focus kills the hype for me. I'll still watch it though, for the staff involved. There's enough talent to pull it off.

 

[Skilotonn]

I will be waiting.

 

[SilentSoldier]

I've liked everything from Watanabe, so I'm hyped for this.

 

[Narag]

Need a direct pv for avatar purposes.

 

[monome]

looking good, Dandy-san.

 

[Snakeyes]

Sounds fucking amazing.

Ugh. Apparently Space Dandy is only slated for 13 episodes for now.

Watanabe says they could make 100 with ideas and designs they've got, "if it's popular"

Resisting negative thoughts. Hope Dandy does the well.

my goodness

that bit with the different artists explains the multiple style of song in the trailer. I can't be on board anymore than I already am, but I want to be.

Maybe Toonami will step it up, like they did for Big O. Believe?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

13 episodes?

duckroll pls use your otaku powers to fix

 

[KidA Seven]

Not feeling the main character design. Everything else looks good.

 

[The Technomancer]

- Bebop was 80% serious, 20% comedy; Space Dandy is 80% comedy, 20% serious.

This...I don't know how to feel about this. I love comedy, but typically anime comedy doesn't work for me. We'll see how it turns out.

 

[TheRancor]

Aww, that's a shame. Hopefully it does well enough to get more episodes.

 

[iavi]

Geneon USA backed Samurai Champloo from the jump, iirc. It'd be nice if they could do the same from some US licensee again, and get this to a 2 cour.

This...I don't know how to feel about this. I love comedy, but typically anime comedy doesn't work for me. We'll see how it turns out.

I don't even know what typical anime humor is, but think of the 100% humor eps of Samurai Champloo. That's what I have a feeling this series will consist largely of, with little live-life inspirational quirps spread about--given the protag.

but this is Shinichiro Watanabe comedy.

Nooo! I swear, if this turns out being as good as it sounds, it better sell well.
