I am personally not even going to bring Space Dandy into this because the main focus of this show is not going to be comedy, so why should I bother making comparisons? Same creator, yes, but the shows are on different ends of the spectrum.

With that being said, this looks and sounds AWESOME. Definitely watching the heck out of this when it airs.

I always felt most of the undeserved hate for Space Dandy came from people who'd convinced themselves from the start that it was going to be Cowboy Bebop v2.0 before so much as a minute had aired.

If you look at Watanabe's track record, he's a guy who doesn't repeat himself. This in my opinion is a GOOD thing. I really loved his last Noitamina show (Sakamichi no Apollon/Kids on the Slope), and I'm expecting this to be as good but different given the plot matter.

Looking forward to it.

Looks like the kind of thing that would never get a release in America. I am interested to see more.

Kanon · 2014-03-21, 17:33

I only brought up Space Dandy because it's Watanabe's most recent work and my biggest disappointment of the season. I guess I needed to vent off a bit. I'm not all that worried about this show, based on the synopsis alone, it should be radically different from Dandy. The main problem with Dandy is that the humor is very hit or miss, and that the episodic nature of the show means the quality is uneven. There are some episodes I love (the minority, unfortunately for me), and others I really hate. I'm disappointed because I think its premise had a lot of potential, and that they're mostly squandering it on meaningless stuff (there is SO MUCH they could do). I tend to like experimental anime, but this one definitely hasn't clicked with me.

I'll stop here, I don't want this thread to get off-topic.

Utsuro no Hako · 2014-03-22, 22:04

With the announcement that Space Dandy's second cour will air in the summer, is this the first time Watanabe's done two series simultaneously?

Nachtwandler · 2014-03-23, 05:52

But the nature of Spase Dandy is such that he gives a lot of freedom to the episode directors so it would be easier to work on.

Plus,from what we know about the scheduling in Space Dandy they have probably already finished working on most of the episodes.

I immediately thought of East of Eden when I saw the PV, and then---is that one glasses dude plotting things like Light Yagami!? =O

AmericanFairy · 2014-03-23, 23:11

Hmm... I have to say that this looks pretty interesting. Will definitely give this a try.

Official website. Trailer. Airs on noitaminA starting in July.

Hmmm... now this looks like it might have some potential.

However, look at the background of the poster, do the two burning Tokyo Metropolitan Government (I think) towers remind you of something?

As per some other people's comments, If they do release an English dub, I think they will have to edit that poster, namely removing the two burning towers reminiscent of 9/11.

DorkingtonPugsly · 2014-03-30, 18:09

I hope this'll be one of the summer animes that keeps my life bright, shinning, and interesting.

Edit: Did Yoko Kanno ever do anything in the same vein as the ambient choral piece that plays at the end of the teaser?

Dop · 2014-05-27, 10:00

Funimation streaming in the US.

Wakanim streaming in the UK. If anyone remembers them given they've had nothing this season.

RollingPenguin · 2014-05-27, 10:50

Hopefully they will reveal who the writer is pretty soon.

bastek66 · 2014-06-11, 11:57

Main cast was revealed
九重新：喜安浩平(Kohei Kiyasu)
三島リサ：小見川千明(Chiaki Omigawa)
久見冬二：入野自由(Miyu Irino)

Guardian Enzo · 2014-06-11, 19:34

Miyu-Miyu? Excellent.

vaden · 2014-06-12, 09:46

Chiaki Omigawa's an interesting choice. I'm curious to see how that'll pan out.

I really like the song.

ninryu · 2014-06-12, 12:52

Wow, the animation is beautiful. Definitely looks like a high budget anime. The PV seems to suggest the anime will have similar themes to Aku no Hana and Mawaru Penguindrum.
