This show has no limits. Not enough superlatives can been said about this Highschool Musical episode.

The dance sequences were just so... fantastic.
The show is EXCELLENT but it's NOTHING like Bebop or Champloo so be sure to check your expectations. It's mostly a comedy show which each episode essentially taking place in an alternate reality. The individual episode directors and animators are given A LOT of freedom and leeway so the topics and even animation styles can vary wildly. As such, many people prefer specific episodes much more than others (which vary person to person). Pretty much everybody can agree though that as the show progresses, the overall quality only continues to rise.

Wow. Yeah. These two weeks basically highlighted exactly why I look forward to Dandy every week even with ups and downs. It's just so creative you never know exactly what to expect. Fantastic take on the high school musical theme here. Amazing designs and animation too. This season Dandy seems to be firing on all cylinders. Viva viva viva all~

What I love about this show is that (in terms of total non-continuity and willingness to try just about any type of plot) it reminds me of Looney Tunes, but at a consistent level of concept-to-execution quality nearing Duck Amuck/What's Opera, Doc? and much, much smarter writing. Stellar animation, too.

That was incredible. This season is great. Things like this fantastic episode are why I love this show and can't wait for each new episode, its like a box of chocolates, you never know what to expect.
Space Dandy 17
I wasn't really big on this. I find parody to be pretty boring and this felt like the most rote interpretation of what it was spinning off of. I appreciate that they were willing to even do a take on musicals but the simplistic choreography and set dressings really bored me, and because this was essentially a spit take the adherence to standards set by cliches muted just how weird Space Dandy as a series can get. I feel like if they were going to parody this setting targeting something from the time period of Grease would have been a better fit for Dandy, but maybe Japanese people don't really have much familiarity with that.

dat ... animation

Somehow this is even funnier considering Dandy sees the "hotness" even across species, like fish-headed aliens.
A lot of stuff in the show makes me wonder how much of what is visually represented on screen is purely Dandy lying to himself about what's in front of him.
Last episode it turns out he's an inmate at an asylum and the whole show was in his head.

I assumed it was part of her "blossoming". Amazing episode all around. It was nice to hear Ian Sinclair's musical chops, makes me more excited in anticipation of hearing him as Brook in One Piece.
Also loved the line "please go home and smack your parents"
That line had me in stitches. I seriously need to download the music. When will it hit iTunes?
I thought that was just a callback to 90s high school movies like "She's All That" or "10 Things I Hate About You" where the unpopular girl turns out to be a real beauty deep down.

Animation was fantastic and very particular, really curious to learn who was responsible.

Are there any ways to watch the dub of this show online?
Didn't post my reactions in here for the last few weeks, but generally I just look forward to expecting something varied and different every week. It's a fun show in that regard. Episode 16 was amusingly creative, and while I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, this one was entertaining with a multitude of references/parodies, and fun to see the voice actors' ability to sing.
Here if you (or somebody you can mooch from) have a cable provider login that supports it: http://video.adultswim.com/space-dandy/. It's not the full series though - it has the 5 trailing episodes (although sometimes they screw this up) and then selected 4 others. It's either that or on-demand services.
Funimation's site has the subtitled version.

In my opinion honestly the show has been very hit or miss and some episodes aren't good at all but on the other hand since episode 7 there have been some fantastic episodes that I think makes absolutely worth picking back up.
I'm not sure but I found a youtube video of the last song to hold you over

Well they already played on that expectation when Dandy pulled the glasses off. So it was a reversal of the parody done earlier.
I have the biggest smile on my face right now.

Am I the only one who noticed that they sing the same song as the camilionian disguised as the basis obnoxious, or am I hearing things?

I think he meant the "beeee my, be my baby be my baby" song that the boom box-disguised alien was singing.

Fucking amazing episode, this anime is amazing every single week.
Next week's episode looks really cool too: http://space-dandy.com/episode/18/
Kiyotaka Oshiyama is writing, storyboarding, directing, animating, and designing the episode himself. He's one of the designers on the series, and he was previously animation director for episode 9 - Eunyoung Choi's episode on the plant planet. This time he's handling an entire episode on his own including all the key animation, guest designs, and art setting.

Never in a million years had I ever expected to see a Yutapon-dance sequence. Marvelous.

One of my favorite episodes.
How was the music in the english dub? Specifically, what language did they use for the music during the training?

The montage music was still Japanese, which is a shame because the lyrics were pretty great.
I didn't know about that site but now I need that Dandy jacket.
Or at least that phone cover based on the Japanese credits sequence.
And agreed on how great Season 2's been; I usually hate musical episodes because some of the numbers drone on too long and don't add as much as they could/should, and even though the "Caste" system one's guilty of that, the ending was pretty well-done!
Was hoping Dr. Gel would crash the prom proper, but I guess he's still not allowed to directly interact with Dandy yet.

Toonami promo for next week's episode is up. Looks like a lot of fun.
