I continue not being impressed with the way the teasers are all "girls! boobs! (some action and comic relief) girls! boobs! hey don't forget the girls and the boobs!" aspect... seriously, has Watanabe gone back in time until he's twelve or something?
It's not that I expect Dostoyevsky level depths from this show but seriously now. I hope it will have more to offer than what the teasers seem to imply, otherwise even my appreciation for Suwabe Junichi and some people on the writing staff won't be enough to carry me through more than a handful of episodes. |

I think you already know the answer. It's not my cup of tea, and none of its predecessors were. (Not even Gurren Lagann. When it comes to giant robots and being over the top nothing can beat Aquarion as far as I'm concerned.) |

From all I've seen I think it might just be a mindless adolescent show and for me that's all right. I really don't mind shutting down the rational part of my brain for a couple of minutes to unwind but I can perfectly understand how some folks might not enjoy doing the same. Now I'm not saying that I can't see this show elevating itself above it's own set expectations and having something interesting to convey beneath all the mindless teenage fantasy stuff but that might just be a bonus instead of the main course.

I will say, though, that I put Watanabe on an altogether different level than Imaishi as a director - and that's coming from someone who loved TTGL (which is a lot more than giant robots and being over-the-top - that's why I love it). I'm not expecting Hamlet here but I do think he's almost incapable of directing something without a certain level of wit and sophistication.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expect this show to be at this point, and I think it's a pity. It's not that I don't like turning my brain off and just enjoying something, but so far this is not shaping up to be the type of dumb comedy that I enjoy... Oh well, we'll see. In any case I still have Suwabe Junichi to look forward to. Quote:

In the Otakon interview Watanabe said that Cowboy Bebop was 80% of seriousness and 20% of comedy, and Space Dandy will be the exact opposite. So you can expect some serious stuff, but a limited amount of it. Pretty common among series with random plot I guess.

So all of the creators behind the show were fully revealed(http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...reviews-voices)
It is great so see so many musical artists that have nothing to do with anime,I spent last hour just googling their names and listening to their songs and most of them are pretty good.I am actually a bit disappointed to see that Yoko Kanno on the list,I mean she isnt bad by any stretch of imagination but you kinda know what to expect from her. |

It looks pleasantly colourful and exceptionally well animated.
That Honey pose. I'm kind of repeating myself, but it can't be helped. I second that, it visually looks like Star Driver on steroid or GITS SAC with rainbows ... or a mix of both.
