why does the kid on the right have his face on sideways
Kid on the right looks extremely trustworthy.
Trailer looks great and is dripping with atmosphere, as you'd expect from Watanabe and Kanno. How good the script is is going to matter a lot here, though.

I dunno, Kids on the Slope was pretty bad.
Already hate the dude on the right. Main character looks alright to me.
ANIME-SAVED ALERT: COWBOY BEBOP + SAMURAI CHAMPLOO + 9/11 = ???????

Which one is the main character?
I suppose we don't know that yet for sure, but I was assuming the guy with the glasses would be the main protagonist?

As far as I know, most episodes have different writers, directors, even art design or such. And some otherwise okay episodes have really good scenes. So you can't really say that the show overall "improves" or gets "worse."
the illuminati got to him too. ripWe had an agreeement dresden! What happened to the sensationalist tabloid thread title?! You coward! Now no one will read this thread!
Really hoping that THIS will be Watanabe's comeback. Kids on the Slope was okay and Space Dandy is all over the place, but even at their peaks, nothing in the shows excites me like Bebop and Champloo. I'm really holding out hope for something from Watanabe on that level again.
fake edit: well, at least the animation looks really great. If the music is any indication, maybe Yoko Kanno is dipping back into GitS-style guitar driven stuff?

Since it's not announced, the writer is probably either less known script writers doing what Watanabe tells them to, like with Kids on the Slope, or someone they can get more headlines with when they announce it later on.
Watanabe said a while ago that he's planning on being much more active starting with Kids on the Slope, and he wants to try making a new show every year at least. Looks like he's carrying out that promise so far.

Can't go wrong with those three
everyone is done with Space Dandy.
Do you think Space Dandy being more of a hands-off show, as far as individual episode directors and writers having lots of freedom, means he has more time to focus on this, which will presumably be a much more narrative-focused story?

Huh, was expecting it to look more distinct based on the talent.
1-2 years ago Watanabe said he was working on two shows in the future. One was a space comedy at BONES, and the other would be something more serious at MAPPA. Space Dandy was supposed to start last year, and this show was due for this year. It looks like Space Dandy's broadcast was delayed to allow for the Toonami simulcast, but beyond that nothing has really changed. He was always working on both, and by the time actual production on this started Dandy was probably well into production.
I don't really think Space Dandy is a hands-off show at all, but I think most of his time was taken up in pre-production for each episode rather than production. He was very much hands-on with regards to the scripts, the designs, and getting various people on board for Dandy, selecting the music, etc. Here he will probably do more storyboarding and actual direction though, so that's probably what you meant. Lol.
Whatever this is, I don't like it.
Is he having the same life crisis as Terrence Malick? Two shows in 15 years, now three shows in two years.
Not that I'm complaining
Yeah, the designs, music, and overall feel of Space Dandy obviously have the Watanabe vibe to them, but Space Dandy seems like much less of a show where he's going to tell the episode director, storyboarder, etc. to change something or rework something to fit a coherent and consistent vision.

Well I doubt this show will have just one main character, but rather follow the interactions between the 3 we're seeing right now and not focus too much on any one POV. I suspected the girl is the central figure though.
Yeah. The plot preview says that the two boys were responsible for the terrorist business, so I doubt they're the protagonists. Guessing the girl is caught in the middle and we'll mostly follow her. She also has an actual name.

Watanabe + Kanno = can do no wrong. Get hype! :O
I meant who the primary POV will be. At least, the website and the teaser seem to focus pretty strongly on Nine.

I'll say I'll oblige and then forget to watch this just as I have with Space Dandy. Oh well. Let's hope it's more consistent in quality than Kinds on the Slop and Space Dandy!
