The thing I love most about Gintama is how self-deprecating they are. Like for example, how later on in the shows there are like NO aliens. That mangaka not giving a fuck haha
You can't assume a goddamn thing in space. Not a goddamn thing!
In a way of explaining that reference, I read Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic novel, The Caine Mutiny, on a plane trip home from holiday travels. Not only is it a staggeringly excellent book, it also gave me a little more appreciation for the Navy, and it made me think a little bit about Space Battleship Yamato.
I know I'm being unfair by comparing a remake of a 70s sci-fi show to a great novel, but I do kind of wish that they spent more time to the day-to-day life on board the Yamato. It's not as obviously exciting, and I wouldn't trade these awesome battles for anything, but I like getting to know the crew and how they act, and when I think about how devoted that book was to the tedium of discipline, maintenance, and readiness, it's a little odd to consider how absent those aspects of life are from Yamato. Perhaps it's all besides the point, considering that Caine is about life on a ship that almost never sees real action, while the Yamato is on a solo mission through enemy territory to save the world.

I liked it! It was pretty high energy, fun to see the main character get picked on. I like his seiyuu too makes all of it pretty fun to watch. And just looking from the ED, it looks like this craziness is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Yamato is kind of lurching from one crisis to another, so it doesn't have too much time to sit around with the daily tedium of the ship. Plus the show only has 26 half-hour episodes to tell its story.

And the french voices are quite horrible.

i kinda expected the reveal of "iscandar" to be something like this.
As for the events that occured in the
prison, well what a big stroke of luck .
For ito , i guess that he did something good , for once in this anime, he shall now be forgotten.

I didn't know there was an anime scene prior to World War II, Grampa.

Oh man, what's going on? Good old warp drive fuck-up!
Events are moving quickly. Wow. First contact is here, and it's a hot blue skinned space babe. I love it. Good thing they invented telepathic translators, but I guess they are an Imperium-spanning race of space assholes.
To be honest, they kind of asceded to the 'let an enemy pilot onto your only hope for salvation' thing way too easily, but heck, it's space battleship yamato. I can give it a pass.
/edit LOL dimensional breach'd. Fucking awesome. I like that the Gamallion commander is just a complete, unrepetent snivelling asshole. Good stuff.

Ok, I just got your joke. I'm not Al Gore. I meant the internet scene for anime, obviously.

So the excuse I'm reading for Space Dandy dub not having the OP/ED is that they need more time for advertisement. But I know that FMA Brotherhood in AS had at the very least the OP, and OP's have an average of 1:30 in length. So does Space Dandy simply have more footage per episode? Or did advertisement get bigger since other anime came out?
I miss my KomarixHotaru moments. ;_;

These days they almost always cut down the openings, but they still usually use the original openings and endings and then cut them down. I'm not sure why they chose to go with a new opening for Space Dandy rather than just butchering the original like they usually do.
AS did used to play full openings back in the day, but for awhile now they've cut most of them down due to ad time.
MY JOKE IS THAT YOU ARE OLD AND I AM SUBTLE AND CUNNING.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
The secret not so secret voodoo collection was nice too.
This summary is reason enough for me to watch this show.
These are two I will definitely watch as they are airing. I wish Space Dandy was on CR cause Funimations site really sucks.

It was likely a failure to secure music licensing rights for the OP and ED songs, I'm figuring.

Definitely crazy but it doesn't feel very interesting. It seems like it'll get better so I'll continue watching

While that could be true, that strikes me as odd given how far in advance this broadcast was determined, and with it being the world premiere and everything. I would have thought that would be one of the first things to be nailed down (as opposed to cases where shows get licensed much further down the line).

Just watch it on Hulu. http://www.hulu.com/space-dandy
This the reason why I have yet to see Noragami and D-Frag!. Really hope the rest of FUNimation's simulcasts of the season are uploaded to Hulu soon.

Why would you pull that gum clamp thing trick on a cat? The professor's a jerk. Anyway, Sakamoto-san is a cool cat. Those three are probably the most entertaining aspect of the show.
Also there's Mai-chan, who's quiet but also random and wild as fuck. I don't know what was going on during that test, but it was pretty funny. That conversation she had with Yukko was just cruelly awkward though. Her idea of a joke. I wouldn't want to be her enemy.

Space Brothers 79:
Poor Olga. She was so happy at the beginning, and then that crushing reality. Her scenes with Hibito this episode were all really good (despite Crunchyroll's subs completely missing the meaning of one line that even a first year Japanese student would pick up on). And now Hibito gets to 'return to see her again' once she's legal.
Russia episodes were all really good. I'll miss that cast of characters for sure. Ivan was great in just about all of his scenes. His final advice to Hibito was great, and I hope Hibito can put it to good use.

The songs are in Japanese, and they run for 90 seconds each. Considering it's a dubbed broadcast, I'm not really surprised at all that they chose to remove the songs and replace them with a different set of credit sequences which only ran 90 seconds total, and had no vocals.
It's an equivalent of hail, yeah.

Hulu has a nice anime collection. Might need get a sub for the plus service.
Glad you found something to rekindle you enjoyment.
Might resort to that. Funimations site . S just awful and makes me cry.
Not much so far.

At the rate he's going, Cajun's going to make Winter OT2 come within the next month or so!
Quick! Someone come up with another thread title!

Cajun is the Drew Bress of animegaf.
I have no idea what this comparison is implying.
Hamatora The Animation Episode 1:
Ah yes, it is about time I got some quality this season outside of BONES and Hamatora delivers it. A mostly solid introduction, though I am sure there was a better way to introduce the characters since I barley have a bead on any of them. Still, I am down for a bit of supernatural detective word and I am actually anticipating the next episode.
