Trucker Dandy is the best Dandy. Would have loved to see more of him.

"Often I get the feeling that deep down, your little girl is struggling with your embrace of filmfaggotry and your loldeep fixations, and the conflict that arises from such a contradiction is embodied pretty well in Kureha's character. But obviously it's not any sort of internal conflict that makes the analogy work. It's the pigtails." - Merridian
"Oh, Oz, I fear I'm losing my filmfag to the depths of Japanese pop. If only there were more films with Japanese girls in glow-in-the-dark costumes you'd be the David Bordwell of that genre." - Jimbo
"Oz, I think we need to stage an intervention and force you to watch some movies that aren't made in Japan." - Trajan

Second Season Episode 2: Great episode, awesome Yamato reference. It looks like the next episode is going to be one of the crazy ones.

The beginning and ending of the latest episode is why people are going to remember Space Dandy years from now.

For everyone who likes to overanalyse :3
No, seriously I like this video, and everything who wants a little bit order in the anarchic chaos that Space Dandy is, might appreciate it as well.

Season 2 does not disappoint, I just love this series.

Both the Moongazi and the Cloudian Episodes were top-notch. Great to see more of Scarlett and Honey!

I've been quite happy with the show thus far. Granted, I didn't like every single episode of the first season, but the second has been picking the slack and improving on some of the best material right from the premiere. Space Dandy has changed my mind when it comes to purely episodic comedy anime, something that I didn't particularly care for before, because every week brings a completely different set of creators and artists to the table with their own sensibilities.

Space Dandy 2nd season Episode 8: Best episode so far. Hell, I dare say this might be the best one for both seasons, unless something really good comes up in this seasons last episode.

Really great atmosphere and cool plot. The loli is the icing in the cake!

Yeah I agree, that episode was awesome the only one that can even hope to try to come close was the book alien episode but even there I would say this one was a lot better.

Also, I only now realized that Yasuhiro Nakura, the episode director, also worked in Tenshi no Tamago! No wonder it was so good!

Well, that makes perfect sense. This Episode was a little masterpiece and did a great job in utilising Space Dandy as a project of short films. Best Episode so far, watched it three times already, the music and animation complement the story so perfectly. Loved it. Loved it so much. If every Episode was so good Space Dandy would be Anime of the Decade. (It still might be, there's not that much competition, lol)

I've been thinking, that episode might not just be my favorite space dandy episode, but it may also be my favorite episode from any shinichiro watanabe anime, the only thing that might be competition for it is real folk blues from cowboy bebop.

What is really impressive about the episode is that (if the credits are true) Watanabe wrote it himself. Makes one wonder if this is his perspective of the series.

This might have somehting to do with how Dandy keeps coming back to life. Doesn't explain everyone else though as I don't expect Limbo would be getting with Meow and Dr.Gel, unless those are just versions of them in new universes Dandy has quantum leapt into. Still wouldn't explain how Meow remembered them all being zombies though if that were the case.

I thought about that too, but then I remembered, that Dandy has no overarching story-line.

Even so, they've already tried to explain a couple of things that might apply all across the board. It just won't necessarily come up ever again after this point.

I'm particularly impressed because it was much better than the first episode, which he also wrote.
