![]() From the first episode it seems something's up, since ( SPOILERS for those who'd rather remain vestal) all of the main characters die at the end. It's a highly accessible and engaging series that really plays up its retro roots the opening credits have a distinct 80s VHS feel to both the visuals and the narration, while the episode's plots seem mostly standalone and usually involve some kind of variant on the standard 'crew search for an alien/MacGuffin that is more complex or difficult to obtain than it seems' narrative.īut, as with Evangelion, there is more beneath the surface of this gaudy, technicolour escapade. Now, let me make it clear that if you think the above description makes Space Dandy sound like a goofy, colourful, hilarious and occasionally serious romp with as much substance as a broken thermometer, you'd be on the right track. This is also in addition to the quest Dandy has of visiting every "BOOBIES" in the galaxy, a "breastaurant" chain that's like Hooters turned up to 11 charged by a blurred distinction between irony, parody and fanservice. Together the three search for new alien life across a galaxy rife with possibility, all the while unknowingly evading the clutches of the heinously evil Gogol Empire and their Ghost Rider-wannabe leader, Admiral Perry. Dandy is accompanied by QT, the kind of robot I imagine Portal's GLaDOS might be if she stopped taking crazy pills, and Meow, a catlike Betelgeusian almost as lazy and lady-obsessed as Dandy. Set in a future strongly evoking Firefly by way of Futurama with a dash of Evangelion's more-than-meets-the-eye plot, Space Dandy follows the titular space-faring main character on his spaceship along with his space-crew as they complete missions.in space. That's not necessarily a bad thing, given how amazingly super-fantastico Bebop was back in the day, and its balanced by Dandy being as to Bebop what a mango is to a dragonfruit. Longtime fans of Shinichiro Watanabe's magnum opus Cowboy Bebop will find a lot of familiarity from the get-go with Space Dandy. There was no way I wasn't going to love Space Dandy after those opening credits.
