Wait, he wrote Evanescent Encounter? Hype + 1000, I loved those episodes.
(Baseball episode was awesome too, but I was already expecting that kind of stuff from Dandy)

Its the worst episode of Bebop focused on the most boring member of the crew (Jett) so you aren't forgetting much.

From ToonamiGAF:
I'm certain we'll see it, haha.
As I said earlier when Toonami GAF discussed it, dub watchers with either a twitter or tumblr account you know what to do

I absolutely loved the first episode. Truly hilarious, and it gave me the 70's space opera vibe I was hoping for. I also loved the gag with his shitty old transporter.
Also, Space Dandy has a remarkable resemblance (hair and all) to a real life Japanese friend of mine who owns a restaurant in Hyogo.

Finally saw the first episode
-I'm okay with Dandy's dub voice, it's appropriately campy. And the delivery is kind of Zapp Brannigan-esqe, but the dialogue is not as clever/witty.
-I don't care for QT's dub autotune voice much. Especially when he 'screams'.
-The humor in the first part...well, it wasn't cringeworthy but it wasn't very funny. Doesn't bother me much though. While on the slow side, the first part set up the basic character traits of Dandy, QT, and Meow, so I can deal with it.
-As for 'fanservice', there was barely anything. And I've certainly shown my disdain for it in the past. At least what was there fit the chosen setting.
-The chase scene was delightfully zany and wacky and silly. I'd like more of that, but don't want to have the entire run saturated with too much.
-Animation is stellar

They really did a great job of setting the tone with the first episode. The chase scene in particular was fucking amazing. Bebop had tons of them and this one was just as good as those. It actually reminded me of the hilarious chase scene in Bebop's "Stray Dog Strut" with Abdul Hakim, the scientists and all the dogs. I can't wait to see what other over the top chase scenes they come up with.

Can't go wrong with either, pick what you prefer.
There some very minor niggling issues with the localization (that could end up being nothing), but both are serviceable. So pick what you prefer.

It seems liek the show was made understanding that it'd be something people in the states would want to watch too, so the dubs are alright.
So whichever works for you.
First episode was nuts. Everything Watanabe does is totally different, yet there's this under current of style that runs through all of his shows.
I think it has to do with how he uses music...from the jazz in Bebop and Kids on the Slope, to the hip hop in Champloo, all the way to the funk in Space Dandy...the way the music and the animation intertwine is Watanabe's stylistic signature.
I feel pretty confident in the way things are going. Can't wait for next week's episode.

I don't feel like the humor works that well for me. It might just be me, but I don't feel that it's Watanabe's strong suit and he's much better sprinkling it throughout a more serious show the way it was in Champloo rather than front and center like this.

So far the 2nd episode is good. The animation during the ramen fight scene was great.

You saw him at the end of Scarlet's scene. He can't hide his true preference.
that was what I thought lol

So is Dandy actually clueless or is hiding something? Those moves when he was trying to get into the Ramen dimension were slick as fuck.
A poor man's version, yeah.
It's just not that funny. I feel like it's just another show that's part of this new post-TTGL era. You want to be TTGL, but you can't be. *shrug*

I thought the humor this episode was way better than the last one. Less crazy action scenes, sure, but it was generally much easier to follow. The ramen fight scene was amazing. Animation still is top notch. Music is still awesome. Love this show.
