Hashtag Dandy, but you can call me Space Dandy


Wasn’t too sure about Space Dandy when it hit [adult swim]. I felt it was a cheap attempt to revive the Cowboy Bebop culture, with it’s space setting and jazzy inter music. After receiving some flack around episode 5 I think they changed to a more pop – fusion opening to distinguish. Though the anime art style is similar to Bebop, the feel good nature is much higher, the comedic value is more prevalent, and the philosophical / science references get a gold star from me. This ‘MEME’ comes from a quote in one of the episodes. Their ability to poke fun of our ‘hashtag’-generation get’s another gold star. Also there is Boobies, which gets at least 2 gold stars. I am yet to fully catch up with the series now in season two, but so far I give it 4/5 gold stars. It loses points with me for not having a solid linear plot / storyline. Great show to pass the time though, low commitment.
