>whole pitch for a show is what if space Elvis was obsessed with boobs
>pure artistic experimental kino from start to finish

The funniest episode was the infestation of the multiverse variants one. Except if it were released today, it would have been called derivative.

>>214357314
that one was funny as shit but my favorite was the one where he starts a band with some stranger whos actually like some ruler of a vast galactic empire

>>214357314
It feels like it makes fun of the trope and how it inevitably becomes ridiculous/convoluted when you start introducing multiverse variants of characters. Very relevant today.

>>214357267 (OP)
How the fuck did he fall off so hard after this, he was one of the last great auteurs anime produced

>>214357371
show had fun being wacky and feeling like nothing was of consequence but at the same time managed to have a plot going on in the background and tied it all together in the end

>>214357570
Dandy was already a step down desu. The first cours was a wet fart with some nice animation. It got a little better when the premise clicked into place.

>>214357267 (OP)
K-kino…

My ex-gf tried to get me to watch this shit but at that point in the relationship I had already started to really hate hanging out with her. I dumped her a month later on Christmas.

>>214357267 (OP)
The pompadeur is stereotypical Japanese delinquent haircut and Dandy in general is inspired in Cobra from Space Adventure Cobra. No relation with Elvis

>>214358949
>No relation with Elvis
>Watanabe, most Americaboo anime guy ever
I shiggy diggy

>>214357267 (OP)
It's kinda sad he never got with the girl at the end. I didn't like that ending. They were building up a romance and just made him a loser at the end.

>>214359002
that's based, I wish I had left my girlfriend earlier than I did

>>214357267 (OP)
its fucking kino, i love the different directors visions and that the main story is hidden, its big brain only

>>214357267 (OP)
I wanted to like this show more than I actually did

Reminder that you couldn't make threads about this show on /a/ because it premiered in the States before Japan. I am not joking.

Meanie >:(

Watanabe's creations are full of references to everything he liked when he was young, from old yakuza flicks to heroic bloodshed and classic Hollywood movies.

>>214358949
He's literally Spike

of all the watanabes, it has the highest highs and the lowest lows, also the best ending of all his stuff, yes better than bebop

>>214359189
Spike's looks are inspired from Yusaku Matsuda, most especifically Tantei Monogatari, and the character is inspired on Lupin III. Curiously, Cobra was inspired on Lupin III too

>>214358609
>watanabe making everyone sit through 18 minutes of retarded lackluster luney tunes slapstick only to end in one of the most genuinely beautiful scenes ive ever seen in an anime
EXTREMELY based, the contrast is fucking insane and i think thats what makes it hit so hard

>>214358949
Japanese delinquents were just copying the American greasers but they didn't have the luxury of showing up to school without a uniform. Elvis was important in popularizing that hair style.

>>214359167
You would have done the same thing.

>>214359302
Then Elvis is loosely related to Dandy

Space Dandy was not directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. He was just a supervisor.

Shingo Natsume was the director of the show.

>>214359757
*His title, "Chief Director" is completely misleading.

In japan, a "chief director" isn't really a director at all. This goes for both their anime and their games industries.
It's more a way of promoting a show - they say "so and so is a chief director!" as a means of getting everyone excited, but really it's someone else doing the direction.

>>214359784
why are the japanese so sneaky and underhanded?

>>214359757
>>214359784
Watanabe went through the same situation. He directed Macross Plus but Shoji Kawamori got credited as chief director. It was a proto Cowboy Bebop considering Keiko Nobumoto wrote the script too

>>214357267 (OP)
Go back to /a/

Pompadour = Kino

>>214357267 (OP)
I don't remember that. but then I didn't watch much of this.

>>214357267 (OP)
Space Dandy was top tier Sakuga and AOTY

>>214361648
Red Line has one of the most top tier Main Ost EVER

>>214358009
cowboy bebop was the same way

>>214357267 (OP)
space dandy had really good art direction also it reminded of robi hachi with its humor
