Given what happened, I don't think that's an issue. Unless it is.
Dandy's character summed up in 3 seconds
Ill check it out. I like series like space adventure cobra!
Don't remind me. Hated the later half of that show.

He's a young/talented animator. He actually worked with Watanabe before on Kids on the Slope.
That could very well be true I enjoyed the dub enough to give it a chance myself. Though I've been burned on Funi doing fundamentally different localization before to not be very optimistic.

I liked the narrator in the dub, but I feel like they could've gone a little further with making him sound bored or something.

By far my favorite part of the episode. I almost didn't notice the gun fly off but when I heard the scraping I couldn't stop laughing.
I love how awful Dandy is at his job.

Yeah dude, the last 7 minutes were INSANE
How are we still having dub vs sub arguments? We get both. The fact that some people are actually upset at the thought of others preferring one to the other (because that's what people do) is incredibly saddening. Yes, some people are going to state their preferences, and list reasons why, whether it's for the dub or sub. Don't get all emotional about it.

Imagine if Dandy, Zapp Brannigan and Kirk were in the same room...

Just watched the subtitled version. Liked it even more the second time. And the sub > dub by far, not even a contest!
On the other hand, I totally get some of the criticisms directed towards the writing and the show so far, it definitely feels like the weakest watanabe premiere, but on the bright side I feel they have got a really good foundation set-up here, and I'm excited to see what crazy storyline's they have planned in the coming weeks, I'm hoping they go overboard with the science-fiction tropes.. because I mean how fucking cool would it be if they went with a groundhog day-esque episode later in the series?

Yeah, I noticed that on his Tumblr. Looks like he also animated parts of Double from Skullgirls. And he's 22.
Impressive. I might actually have to convince my art school to try to get ahold of that guy for a talk or something. I bet that would be super interesting.

Oh, okay. I'm totally cool with that. It coming off as a bit weird isn't a bad thing. Looking forward to some more crazy stuff!

For me personally I liked the Japanese version simply for the killer ending song. That's not to rip on anyone who loves the dub more. It's a really good dub.

Last pic I promise.
Does this look like a Wiimote to anyone else?
It looks like the wiimote and the sony wand had a baby

Wow, good catch!
Love the little touches. Will be watching the episode again.

I had a passing thought on this as well. Thinking about it more:
It's NOT Futurama. But it IS Futurama's Anime Cousin.
I wonder who'll get that?
Unfortunately not. You can watch it online if your cable provider allows you.

First episode was cute, very reminiscent of Space Adventure Cobra. They try to emulate a certain freshness from 80s anime, the episode left me with the urge to rewatch both Project Eden (and Redline).
Yet I don't see how Watanabe is going to save anime that way.
If breasts were to save anime, I'm still waiting for my second season of Senran Kagura <3

If you don't mind subs, it's streaming for free on Funimation's site.

So after reading that tweet that that animator made regarding the Dubs I was scared of what the difference was going to be. For the past hour I decided to watch both at the same time while listening to about a minute of dialogue pausing, going to subs reading to see what the difference was. I went through the whole episode like this and...
everything was the same.....
minus the occasional words they change for english. Everything was virtually the same except for the few words. In japan I guess when Dandy spells out K-E-T-S-U that means ass, that part was different in the dub. And when Meow used the words chill, that part was different in the sub. Everything about the plot with Dr. Gel, that war, and Ghost Rider dude man was the same.
Am I missing something here? Maybe the animator is japanese and doesn't understand english very well? because I caught no major difference.

I enjoyed that quite a bit and the dub is quite good. Love QT's voice.

The shaky humor held it back but it's one of the best looking and sounding shows I've ever seen. Just amazed by the production. Of course it helps that I am always starving for space adventure stuff.

I can't believe so many people give this many fucks about having language options. All this does is open up the show to new audiences that might not have tuned in otherwise.
This.is.good.
Edit: Just read Bahi's post. I can see how that would be a problem. It makes a ditz out of a character that might be a bit more cunning than we thought.

Given that she's a recurring character, I definitely understand why he's upset about the change.

OK. I see. Depending on how they handle this with later episodes could change a few things
An odd change, but pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Only worth worrying about if similar changes are made in the future, imo.
Is it region locked to the US?
I loved it. The sequence on the alien planet was just beautiful. Animation was better than the garbage seen on Attack on Titan. That just left a bad taste in my mouth after all the hype. Only thing I dislike about this show so far is the openong theme. It's kinda bad. The scene where the cat like character was pronouncing his name was great.
No idea, sorry.
Agree'd. And if that isolated incident was the only thing that he didn't like, I don't think it's worth throwing the baby out with the bath water on the whole dub just yet.
But speaking of Bahi, this gif has the not-storyboarded cut he mentioned Nakamura worked on. Some of the animation in the latter half of the episode is beyond stellar.
