I can't stand the English dub Narrator.

Booo!

Is it just me, or is the track at the beginning of the first episode a direct reference to Christian Bruhn's Captain Future opening?

You know, if the English voice for QT wasn't an autotune Justin Bieber, I might watch Space Dandy in English.

I oddly like QTs English voice. *shrugs*

 

[wsippel]

Yep, the soundtrack definitely is inspired by Bruhn. The track used during the action sequence later in the first episode is also very similar to one of his Captain Future tracks.

I thought so too, i watched Captain Future as a kid and love that theme!
I really like the track in SD too and wish it was longer.

I feel the same, the english dub is very solid, but i find the voice effect really grating after a while. Especially when QT is screaming, like at the end of the first episode when that monster boards the ship.

Only bad thing about the dub is that there's a shitty OP instead of the JP one, I'm still bitter.

 

[sol_bad]

The ramen master stuff was the highlight, though. It's the first time I was really engaged with what the show was trying to do.

I agree with this!
I know it has only been two episodes but that first episode did absolutely nothing for me. It pointed out two things for me, Space Dandy is hunting rare aliens to make money and there is some big space war going on between two factions. I can't even remember if they mention why there is a war happening.
Come to think of it, did they say why that guy is after Space Dandy? Shows how engaged I was in the first episode.

The second episode was much better and did a better job of building the characters.
I enjoyed Scarlet's action scene, the animation was very fluid and pleasing to my eye.

Spoiler

I loved how Meow kept Tweeting where they were and didn't realise why the bad guys kept showing up

. I loved the scene with the ramen master as pointed out above.

The first episode really felt like they were just throwing shit at a wall in comparison to the second episode. I am now very happy to continue watching this show as I can see it's potential.

The voice sounds nothing like Bieber who barely even uses pitch correction software in the first place so I don't get that complaint.

I enjoy the dub

Here's Adult Swim's TV spot for the 3rd episode, don't think it's been posted yet.

Meow is the best.

I have no problem with his voice being used in other shows. I just think the narrator should have been more formal like the Japanese version.

Yea, I seriously cringed when she was screaming in the first episode.

Definitely agree with this. Everything else, especially the humor, does nothing for me.

 

[Squire]

Why? I think he sounds alright although it would've been nice to have Steve Blum instead.

Blum is one of my favorite VAs, but he's not dry enough to be a narrates tot. He would've killed it as Meow though.

 

[cntr]

Watched the first two eps (dub).

Fuckin' amazing.

Edit: I only wish the English version had the Japanese OP. Maybe we'll get an English dubbed version of it later?

 

[Gazoinks]

I wonder if we'll ever find out what Dandy's real name is.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

"Google Galaxy Street View"

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I wonder if we'll ever find out what Dandy's real name is.

Dandy is his real name.

But you can call him Space Dandy.

30 minute warning

ANIME IS SAVED

 

[BassForever]

This episode of Space Dandy should redeem the show for anyone who's skeptical

 

[foxuzamaki]

Seriously though, space dandy is starting to remind me of panty and stocking which is a show I loved, so this is good things for me.

 

[copelandmaster]

A+ Plus episode tonight.

Spoiler

Continuity? Space Dandy Says forget that shit!

 

[Narras]

Best episode I've watched of Space Dandy. I wasn't really liking the show until this one. I actually found it funny.

 

[Pappasman]

I loved episode 2 and didn't really care for 3 at all

 

[Branduil]

Space Dandy 3

That was pretty weak outside of the final part.

 

[Seda]

I think 3 was my least favorite episode as well. The

Spoiler

megazord

was alright.

 

[Sadsic]

first half was really boring to me and was pretty much just dry anime tropes

second half was really wet and fun anime tropes and i enjoyed that

this show isnt amazing but its kinda fun and ill keep with it prolly

 

[Squire]

Nope. Meh as hell.

 

[Gintoki313]

Space Dandy - Episode 3

Wasn't as good as episode 2, but it was decent. When they said it was going to be a fanservice episode, they weren't kidding. If there's one thing that makes up for the episode, was the

Spoiler

giant robot vs boob monster fight

at the end. That was really cool.

 

[Moaradin]

That episode was great. Best one yet.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

I think the last episode had better jokes and references, but this episode was more entertaining overall.

So far every episode has a somewhat boring first half, but ends with a strong second half. The gag with that evil alien guy seems to be that he always ends up just missing Dandy, but I'm starting to hope they meet sooner rather than later.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Enjoyed it. This show is entertaining as hell and the animation is A Tier. I'm in for the long haul no doubt.

The Zord battle was tits.

 

[Levyne]

The Zord battle was tits.

-_-

So I'm guessing each episode takes place in a parallel universe. Also Zombie crew next week.

 

[JCG]

I'm totally biased, of course, but this has been my favorite episode.

Spoiler

How could I complain about suddenly having mecha show up?

Overall though, I guess it's nice that the show will go in totally different directions every week since those who don't like a particular approach will get the chance to enjoy something else next. That's definitely one of the more unique characteristics of Space Dandy.

 

[Forceatowulf]

-_-

I had to.

 

[Htown]

eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this one didn't do much for me

 

[Reversed]

Do you think this undub episode

Spoiler

will have those nipples uncensored? Also the ball gag, lol.

 

[Dresden]

It was better when they got away from the dumb, raunchy fanservice shit and the bad jokes and showcased a bunch of weird aliens and robots. Basically, the second half was more watchable than the first, just like all the episodes before . . . hope this doesn't become a trend.

The dub is okay, but QT's autotune voice annoys me quite a bit.

 

[Ninjimbo]

That episode was great. Best one yet.

This is how I feel. The weird aliens warning Dandy was my favorite part. I'm starting to get into the show's vibe. It's got more in common with Samurai Champloo than Cowboy Bebop now that I think about it.

 

[Mature]

This one felt a bit like a bottle episode until the robot showed up, but I still enjoyed it and laughed here and there. Next episode looks amazing.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Japanese or English? Which version is better?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Awesome episode. Best of the 3, with the entire crew being involved on this trip. I'm sure a lot of people were deceived tonight.

What they've done with the Statue of Liberty is hilarious when you see it up close.

Sidenote: 7 episodes in to "Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine" and that's pretty great too.

 

[Acrylic7]

So far everything has been meh. But the animation and voices are fantastic at least.

 

[duckroll]

Episode 3

I'm getting used to how underwhelming the humor actually is. At least after the first episode, the storytelling has been pretty consistent in terms of having an actual theme. The story here was pretty predictable (not a bad thing), and again not particularly funny at all (definitely a bad thing), but it's nice to see unique visual looks based on the actual stories instead.

I think the show really needs to ditch the really cliched and formulaic thing where the first half of every episode is just boring build up with crappy try-hard jokes, and then the second half has lots of crazy animation and action. It feels like a total waste if I can't feel invested in the overall episode!

 

[fierrotlepou]

Glad to read that this episode might be the one to finally live up to the expectations of the show.

 

[Shergal]

Next episode has zombies, it can't possibly be unfunny... right?

... maybe?

 

[TimmiT]

Spoiler

The nipples are uncensored once she has fully transformed into a monster.

 

[duckroll]

I dunno about FUNi's simulcast stream, but that scene was completely uncensored on Tokyo MX. It just happened. Lol.
