- If you've ever seen Space Dandy, then you are fully aware of how fascinating this show is. One moment, you'll be watching Dandy and company enjoy a visit to Space Hooters, and the next you'll be pulled into the compelling and fascinating world that has been built up in the episode. In this video, Kyle will be explaining how Space Dandy manages to balance these two extremes and still rise above most anime.

The lack of continuity, and the eventual explanation of why it lacks it, is part of what made me fall in hopeless love with Space Dandy
Space dandy made me feel a special kind of way when it first came on. The space surfing scene and the episode where he helps an alien girl on the train were my favorites mainly because of how pretty everything looked combined with the music
Bro those are my two favorite episodes of season 1 the episode with the girl was so sweet the scene on the train with the music was god damn magical and the space surfing scene just wow i was so overcome with emotion that i shed a tear
I like the dancingian eps
@@bit-te That one was gold, baby!
That dancing was lit af
Just ignore how tired and narratively contrived the train episode felt lmao
You nailed it baby!
When you see a bunch of jokers get serious, that's when you really feel the weight of the emotions that afflict the cast. That's why a joke character is important. That's why it's important to use them well. You can't just have them appear to make a funny joke, they're used to reinforce the somber tone too. Like in MASH. When the doctor is happy and telling jokes, you laugh, but when the jokes stop, you start paying attention to why he tells those jokes in the first place. Knuckleheads are easily misused in media. Dandy does it right so many times, like the Laika episode(Which made me cry), the ukelele man, and even the emo kid fanfic episode to an extent.
Laika had me crying so hard for almost an hour
It’s hard finding shows that are so incredible but have one feature that detracts people from watching it, examples of this are: Made In Abyss, Mob Psycho 100 and, of course, Space Dandy. They are rejected of their merits because of their content, art style and the way they express their ideas. And it’s hard to get friends to watch these shows. Thank you for possibly aiding me in my ability to get people into Space Dandy
I'm not really sure what element of Space Dandy or Mob Psycho you are referring to. If you are talking about the lack of continuity in Space Dandy, I've never really heard of anybody finding that as a bad thing. It is literally the best aspect of the series.
MrMask Don't worry, baby. In the infinite expanse of space, there's always another like-minded alien out there who agrees with you. Like me!
@@thenew4559 dude I've met people who won't watch cowboy bebop for that reason.
Same with Kekkai Sense. Basically you got anime fans who watch shit shows and ignore good ones because there isn't some grand plot that last for 80 episodes yelling inuyasha and kagome every second episode.
I don't know why it would be hard to get someone to watch Space Dandy?, you can literally just turn on any episode and then there pretty much guaranteed to have a good time
Lord Blue Balls EX I don’t know why either but my brother and friend are just “meh” about space dandy. They dropped it after the second episode and on the third they fell asleep😔
Space dandy made me try to grow a pompadour. Which in turn caused me to realize I was balding in the back...
I think part of your head just needed it's time to shine, baby
a vacuum cleaner drinking a cup of coffee made me cry...
A World Without Sadness, best episode of Dandy imo
Morgan Sparhawk In my top three for SURE, but I think The Fish is Huge is my number one; also a Merry Companion is a Wagon in Space is a top competitor
Definitely top three my top is world without sadness merry companion and vests verse undies for the space surf scene. Big fish is riiiight under those three for me but i totally understand why its your favorite it too is amazing
I'm tied between that one and A Merry Companion Is a Wagon in Space, Baby
@@Garvant_ the big fish one is inspirational af!
This was a really good breakdown. Thank you for appreciating this series. Space Dabdy is indeed a very clever show despite of it's funny facade, and I was happy to hear that in this video.
Ok, baby
I just really like how you can watch any episode in pretty much any order and not have to worry or think about overarching plot lines and you can just like enjoy the story it tells for that episode it’s nice
I was dying laughing when they had Gogol street view in the show.
That's a dandy analysis, baby!
The Dandy Effect: when I fold the entire fabric of spacetime through the eleventh dimension, so I can sleep just, what is perceived to be, five minutes longer. Cannot show up to class with rings under my eyes, baby.
This show holds a special place in my heart. I consider it as one of Shinichiro Watanabe’s best works. Really wish we got that movie the Prez of Bones was interested in doing, if sales were good.
I feel like it's slowly becoming a cult classic, so maybe? never say never!
Thank you for finally making a good video for me to show people to get them to watch this mastapiece
I love Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy. They are two of my favorite animes if not the only two I probably even know. But when you clarified all the things that Space Dandy is and then I almost saw it coming with the word it's [Dandy]. It still made a tear come to my eye. so I liked and subscribed thank you... "you're going to carry that weight Dandy"
Great video. Space Dandy is easily in my top 5 favorite anime of all time.
Space dandy had me in my feels on episode 5
Great video. I'd love to rant about this show but a youtube comment section isn't the proper medium. I'm happy to see someone else pick up what I assume Watanabe meant to put down. This show is so incredibly deceptive, it doesn't just warrant rewatches; I feel it deserves the viewer's individual analysis. Once you break the surface of ez boob fart jokes it turns into some sort of commentary on creative freedom, among other things. Good shit man.
This is literally the proper medium to rant about things
Got 2 friends into Space Dandy. Worth rewatching it with them for their 1st time so that I could watch it a 4th time!
Totally agree , it really is one of the greatest animes ever made.
that was an excellent analysis on the series! and a well put together video, good mic quality, just well rounded!
Space dandy was absolutely amazing and the only show in a long time I planned and looked forward to watching every weekend when it was aired. Actually you had no idea what the episode would be about. great stuff. The creativity is unmatched and I believe its work from the people behind cowboy bebop? I wish they continued with another season
I'm just shocked to learn that this show wasn't popular when it was coming out, I watched it as it came out. I loved every minute of that, in fact I was eating a lot of acid at that time. Some of my 1st stereotypical visuals were while watching that show. I am truly shocked to learn that it is just now even being really looked at by people as more than a boob show?
Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy are two of my favourite anime ever, for both very similar and extremely different reasons.
Just finished it, You spoke the idea's of my head into words baby!
Space Dandy is underrated as one of the best anime ever
Top tier writing, characters, music, action, and ending. The other thing that is different from it’s predecessors in my opinion is the setting it takes place in. That being said I loved this approach and the world of Space Dandy was just as captivating as Bebop or even Champloo
10/10 BABY
Can't let this gem be forgotten!
Preach it, baby!
This show's possibilities are endless.
Dandy is just what happens as a result of Sweet JP being exposed to a steamlight.
I've seen this in my life a lot. Sometimes you just wanna be greedy, but the greater good needs always outweigh my own. We all gotta be like dandy, baby!
Nice analysis!
Shit. I need to watch this again. Even if just to cry again on the Alien Girl episode.
I still remember the "eggs with salt or tabasco" scene to this day
Video Summary:
He’s just a Dandy guy, in Space
This video was amazing, thanks man. I finally have a video to get my friends into space dandy👌🏻
this is really high quality, hope more people sub
Wow, such a good content. Keep going bud. It was interesting.
The episode with Laika (USSR doggo) absolutely destroyed my feelings, and holy hot damn did that final episode hit hard too.
She even looks the same as her real-life historical counterpart, adding to the tragedy.
That's the beauty of Space Dandy it goes from a comedy to tragedy in seconds -> Like you said, The Dandy Effect :)
"Trippy. Is it Masaaki Yuasa's work as well?"
2:39 "Oh. OH-"
Just...wow. Nabeshin went all out on this, eh? It feels like he was holding back his laughter during his years of production then laughing out loud for this high-strung show.
There are plenty of anime where the main character is focused on immature things. We are really focusing on the story.
Space dandy is my one and only true favorite anime and you definitely did it justice
What a legendary show baby
Damn you made me realize how good the show on a whole really is.
Subbed. A very good video!
Can I like more than once? Someone get me a calendar!
Space dandy imo one ups bebop, delivering on great comedy, introspection and sadness, and due to the episodic format of the series it allows the writer and directors to stretch and bend and mold the characters and stories into whatever type of story they want to convey, the uber fun dancing episode, the enticingly interesting episode about sentient plant life with a bleak ending I could never forget if I tried, the episode where dandy goes to the afterlife which imo is one of the single best pieces of anime ever, and SO MUCH MORE stuff that has left a deep, stupendously important mark on how I think about anime, art, characters, settings and even life itself, bebop is an all time classic which every generation of anime fan should watch and is undeniably good, but space dandy is it’s fruition, it is the completely realised version of bebop and every other show about badass drifter making there way through life among the stars
Space Dandy is ridiculous under appreciated. People just don't give it a chance and don't make it through the first few episodes but by the end I loves every episode even more than I did the first time and I have favorite episodes that I watch every now and again which is really weird to just watch a single episode from the middle of a show multiple times but some of the stories are just so worth rewatching. Space Dandy is truly unique and I'm surprised its not more known. I just think there are a lot of people with bad taste in anime. It's fine to like the generic shows that come out every season and hell I do too, but when someone's favorite anime is one of those generic shows it's usually because they refuse or haven't seen masterpieces like these.
The first Time I watched this show I was tripping on mushrooms and it was one of the best trips I have ever went on, I felt like I was apart of the Aloha Oe crew, I wish I can forget it all and re watch it again like my first time around
I was introduced to this show this past weekend by this girl I took home from a rave. We were doing ketamine and she recommended space dandy. It blew my mind and was the perfect show to watch given the circumstances
@@pyromaniack13 yes! Space Dandy has a weird way of intertwining with your reality👽
this music gives me the chills
I have seen up to episode 8 and damn even those are amazing
Space Dandy is a great anime where you have mindless comedy mixed with deep philosophical morals and slight satire hints of actual cultural elements like Boobies and the Gogol Empire. The music and animation flawlessly capture the cosmos vibe and the brightly colored scenery is absolutely beautiful. Some people might find it weird but that’s only because Space Dandy is unlike any other anime out there completely breaking the standard so I would say it’s for people who have a refined taste. Even though it’s a science fiction show it still has hints of spirituality and cosmic mystery all of this blended together makes a recipe for a unique timeless masterpiece.
This has convinced me to give the series another shot (I didn't care much for S1 but with a new mindset I feel like I'll enjoy S2, I appreciate wacky direction wayyy more now than back then)
...the music tho gets me everytime :)
I would imagine the build up of instead of quickly spinning everything around before finally flinging them you have them slowly being pulled back by a slingshot, subtle enough that when they get released they die from shock instead of the am already tired of spinning
Don’t ask just enjoy it, that’s the dandy wayyy
You got it, baby!
Man the munagi episode is one of my favourites
Going with the Flow baby ☺️
the dandy effect. good video. i like it.
The alien girl episode made me stay. Being hit with a wave of emotion complete unexpectedly? More please
I just finished Space Dandy and I already feel empty
Space Dandy is so special.
It was a very Dandy show to watch.
All is all, baby. Remember, GO WITH THE FLOW. ^_~
Space Dandy is the only anime show I've ever watched, unless you count Speed Racer and Kimba. I love it when he beats that cat.
Episode 8 of season 2 is something i still think about to this day
Hes Just a Dandy Guy in Space.
Space Dandy is easily my favorite show. A fun detail I noticed is that for every fan service female shot there is, you get just as much (if not more) of Dandy in his skivvies!
In a different parallel universe this show is still on the air with new directors and wacky episodes.
Very good analysis, you should do one for FLCL season 1
We don't currently have any season 1 plans, but our other member is planning some analyses for Alternative and Progressive!
Nailed it!!👍👍✌✌😀
Finally someone who gets it!
I loved this anime, I honestly didn't expect it to impact me the way it did but I remember saying up till 4am with spicey ramen and space dandy on... but then I finished it and just felt nothing
I’ve always saw Space Dandy as a mix of Excel Saga and Cowboy Bebop.
Space*dandy is so good that I don’t want to rewatch it. I don’t want my original feelings to fade.
Watch it on acid. Never gets old
Love this anime
Seen it? Heard of it? Own the DVD/Blu-ray box set, boi.
in the final ep dandy is on Yggdrasil in asgard with his arms raised. clever nod to neon genesis maybe. extremely deep subtext definitely. the golgol empire tracking the crew from meow's smartphone. dr gell's ship is the statue of liberty with a ball gag in its mouth. one thing had me scratching my head, why does dr gell look like he's going to the players ball to compete for pimp of the multiverse?
He’s a monkey with massive intellect that’s decked out in things that he does not need, and a lot of the time his intelligence holds him back in his pursuits. He tries many times to capture and understand Dandy (Who is clearly an analogy for god) and fails completely. I think he’s a subtle prod at humankind
1000% agree
Watched and love it as much as dragonball and jojo
I would love to see something with vash,spike,and dandy all in one show
When people ask me: "Which anime should i watch?"
I always answer: "Space dandy, kill la kill and hamatora"
It’s a dandy show, baby
My series that I am working on is very random and much anything can happen, since it is based moreso in a dream-state like world.
I heard he was a reality warper or something
Danke.
Space dandy 👌
Stay Dandy Baby!
Isnt it like with lupin the 3rd? Like some episodes have different writers/directors?
He's a dandy guy in space...
Considering the ending, idk how they would make a new season
"Stay dandy"
damn it.....now i have to watch Cowboy Bebop .....for the 4th time...
radical ed here i come!
it's like regular show but an anime outer space, but I prefer space dandy more lmao
Space Dandy is what Fooly Cooly did for Cable. I know Fooly Cooly was technicallly cable but still Space Dandy was more underground.
I got so overwhelmed on season 2 that dropped it and forgot about it, but i have to admit that this show is really good and underated. The music is great too.
One thing to realise about Dandy is that he uses 'boobies' as a coping mechanism. He has an inability to express his true self. This can be seen in episode 6, when he tells the girl that he's heading out to boobies. Yet in reality he goes to find more info. Dandy as a character is always trying to live to his fulist even if it's detrimental for him, his reluctance is a smart way to show optimistic nihilism in anime. And for those who describe as misogynistic, he's been created as a character that can't face reality or more so doesn't even want to or Can't. This can be seen when he gets given the chance to be god, rejecting it to live in his own world rather than be apart of the world.
What song at 7:41?
