I liked it enough. It didn't blow my mind, but the animation was pretty good and the ending theme was awesome. I'll keep watching it for the time being.
What? The english acting was great. The delivery was perfect.

I like it.
Animation near the end was spectacular, and I like the main character so far. Music was pretty great as well.
The only thing I disliked was the robot's voice. Not sure if I like an autotune'd robot talking a lot.

they don't even explain how Kenny comes back every episode. South Park sucks.
Completely disagree.
I find it hard to imagine the Japanese voices suiting the irreverent tone more.
I hope that happens every episode.

I liked Dandy's and Meow's voice well enough. The tone definitely matches the light hearted and dopey atmosphere that the show's going through. I think any other voice than the one Dandy has would've been ruined during the speech part.
QT should've been voiced by T-Pain
Perhaps you might not just enjoy a slapstick comedy? That, or you were expecting Cowboy Bebop.
Maybe. I like slapstick but in spurts. Not an entire episode of it. I was actually kind of expecting a goofier Cowboy Bebop. But I thought there would be a story or something.
I don't really care for the writing in the english dub. It feels very Excel Saga and I just don't always dig that. Hoping it gets better in future episodes... I do like a lot of wacky shows (Panty & Stocking etc) but sometimes the writing really misses (see: Gurren Lagann's awful, awful dub...)
edit: It was GORGEOUS though. So that helps.

What the fuck did you expect? Have you seen the trailers? Actually, have you seen at least one screen? ACTUALLY, did you even notice what the show is called?
Everything you described is exactly what they've been showing off up until this point. Were you expecting Shingeki?
We've known pretty much since the reveal that this was gonna be an over the top slapstick comedy with action. So if you were expecting anything different, then that's your own fault.
because one auto tune robot = the entire dub? I think the auto tune voice for the robot is plenty fitting.
Dandy's voice and delivery was great.
smh Mako is what is saving that series so far.

The dub was amazing, the narrator was the best character and the ending was wack.
It's just a giant joke and parody series and it's all the more amazing for it.

The dub was fine. I didn't like the tits and ass stuff at the beginning, but the craziness in the latter half redeemed it for me somewhat. I'll have to understand that this isn't taking itself seriously at all, which is what I should have grasped onto immediately when it started off by breaking the fourth wall.
The ending was great for a first episode.

Between this and Kill La Kill, there's definitely a sign of pulse where there wasn't.
How about a STORY for one? The episode was just all over the place! I would like/expect at least that!
it wasn't even heavy autotune, plus it turned off in power saving mode

So the first half of the episode totally didn't do it for me, the focus on boobies and breasteraunts, while certainly not something that should have surprised me based on the show's previews, just felt like it overstayed its welcome. It served a purpose in introducing a character that would become part of Dandy's crew but some of the aspects just made me feel pretty awkward instead. Narrator shenanigans and pre-boobies sequence aside (which I enjoyed) I was hesitant about the state of the show when it hit its first commercial break.
And then they jumped back in the ship and the show became sublime. Dandy's humor started hitting its beats, his "go with the flow" attitude was brought to the forefront and the second half all but redeemed what was a truly lackluster beginning. The second half pretty much exemplified everything that I was anticipating about the show with truly stellar animation sequences, upbeat music, and a level of insanity that could only be brought in with a character like Space Dandy.

Giant evil space ape in a wig wants to chase down Space Dandy for some reason while the latter is a terrible Alien Hunter who takes things way too easy and is a fan of boobies.
Not too sure it's gonna get more involved than that.
Oh man this is great
I dislike overly obnoxious characters that get in people's face.
True, but it's not like the rest of the dub was any good.;p
Definitely felt like a "average" anime dub with typical shitty sounding supporting characters to boot.
- dandy is being hunted by one part of an empire that is at war with another empire led a creepy pimp gorilla wearing a wig whose flagship is part of the statue of liberty with a ballgag for some reason
- dandy has no goddamn idea about this
- dandy pulled a chord in space-time that did (or will do, or has done) something weird
- ???

What a lighthearted and goofy as fuck parody prodding at space opera's various levels of bullshit.
The villain's ship has the statue of liberty with a ballgag on the front. People trying too hard to take this too seriously.
And this coming from someone who dislikes pretty much all but 4 anime shows.

There was a story, as other posters have pointed out to you. Not the writing team's fault you were asleep during the humorous moments with the narrator.

Well, to me it looked like most of it is just going to be "filler", for lack of a better word. Not sure if there's an overarching story line. I wouldn't mind one either. I'm just saying, I knew what I was going into from the start. Just a silly over the top anime with good production values and fun characters.

I'm convinced you didn't actually watch the show, did the boobies distract you too much
Did you even listen to the Narrarator? He explained the entirety of the plot, the main cast's motives, and the generic shonen "YOU ARE THE KEY" trope all in one episode. It gave a hell of a lot of lore regarding the universe.
Don't even. Show has plenty of story.
I like you.
The show just looks like it's going to spoonfeed its viewers and play it safe (as far as comedy/parody animes go). It's just not a good anime.

If you're expecting "plot" from this show, you're going to be disappointed.
