I loved the animation in this episode. Pretty good overall. Second best this season so far in my opinion.
Wasn't feeling it this episode. The animation was baffling me until I saw Yuasa's name in the credits. I don't know why I didn't catch that sooner. There were some cool moments but I couldn't get into it. When Dandy starts getting too weird I usually tune out and that's what happened.

The teleport gun was a flashlight...er teleporting flashlight.
Hallucinogenic episode with stoner fish. That's something.

This was -really- good. Probably one of my favorite episodes yet. There's something very complete about it. Everything from the concept to the execution feels really polished. The script is definitely one of the best ones so far in terms of feeling very dense but yet not compromised by the runtime. A lot feels like it happened, and yet it doesn't feel rushed at all. Slow and steady wins the race indeed.
I love the art and designs this week too. From the alien food stuff at the start, to the invisible halibut, to the sailing scene (soooo good), all the way to the underground city. Everything felt so alien but yet so.... right. Yuasa really delivered an excellent auteur episode here.

I could watch this show on mute, I think. At this point, I mostly care about the animation, which is fantastic. It's heartening to see people actually caring about style these days.
Nonetheless, compared to Bebop or Steins; Gate, this show's story is kinda lame in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure the intention of this show is not to have a strong story
Why are people forever comparing this to Bebop?
Just why? Other than they are both sci-fi based they are nothing alike.
Anyway...that was a strange place for Ryusei Nakao to pop up.
The show literally resets at the beginning of each episode, since the episodes are all taking place in different alternate realities.
If you're looking for a strong narrative, you've come to the wrong place.

Ryūsei Nakao, haha. I hadn't heard his voice in years.

Because of the general director being involved. Of course they seem to not understand that every episode has it's own director and style and it was never said to be a completely serious show nor have a continuous plot from episode to episode.

Uhh after the first episode when the entire cast died and came back in the second episode you should have realized this series was not going to be story focused at all
Really? People are still demanding a story despite the fact the first episode established that there's no continuity? Honestly people...
He's still around. Recently he was Caesar Clown in One Piece (arc villain).

So who was the voice of the main character fish that they ate in the end? He sounded familiar?
Todd Haberkorn in the dub (Ling from FMA, Death the Kid in Soul Eater)
Sorry if you were asking about the japanese cast ><

I loved that episode. If I ever hear a fish in real life say the word "amazeballs", I can die happy.

The Meow twitter page posted some cool QT goodies recently:
The closed eyes QT charm is a limited version, apparently. The other is the one you'll find sold in shops.

This... this episode.
Every musical that's ever taken place in high school all at once, and the singing in the dub was pretty damn great. I love that there's no way to predict where this show is really going to go next.

I feel like they should have made the purple alien a little more pink, just to keep with the 80s references.

I think I'm the odd one for not loving this episode. I enjoyed it, but so far the fish episode has been my favorite this season.

Amazing episode, not only of Space Dandy, but probably the best episode of Anime I have watched in the past 2 years. I mean I thought Space Dandy was okay before this, having a pedigree from Shinichirō Watanabe really made me watch it in the first place (another Cowboy Bebop?!). I sort of expected it to be a fun quirky show with some serious kick-ass fight scenes, similar to Gin-tama in the episodes where Gin gets his Shonen Jump taken away, but what I got was a very non-continuous, one-shot comedy show where each episode contains its own story. I was not a big fan of this at first, but after the start of the second season I decided to take the show for what it was, a pure expression of creativity where each episode has its own unique (sometimes) art style. That being said the jokes were hit and miss for me still, that is up until this episode played. Looking at the preview "Dandy is the New Transfer Student" I though this would be a episode viewing the traditional "anime-high school" setting through a satirical lens, but it was the complete opposite and it set out to parody many of the "American high school" 90's movies and popular culture. Needless to say the episode was great, Dandy is a new transfer student and he obviously wants to get all the chicks, but he is stuck in "lower caste" of the school because of his lack of musical ability (Meow even says he must be feeling "Glee" right now, an obvious reference to the American TV show with the same name). The school is populated with the classic "geeks" (anime-watchers, according to the show) ,jocks(one of them an E.T look-alike) and the one "nerd" girl who is actually pretty (read. Molly Ringwald). Dandy promises to be the prom king (of course it is in a week) so he goes on classic 90's montage complete with a great song (makes me want to buy the OST) and sings about what he knows best, booty. It was a great turn and really cemented what Space Dandy is all about, one-off stories with eclectic characters.
TL;DR Space Dandy is great
