Someone needs to compile a list of references in this episode.
There was Hulk, E.T, X-men (that robot was obviously Sentinel), Gunbuster's training montage and probably Rocky too, The Fly (lol), Twilight Zone and the list goes ooooooon.
There was also a Slimer (Ghostbusters) look-a-like when the ball room was shown the first time.
Let's also mention the entire genre of high school movies (especially from the 80's).
You know what? It really made me proud to see that Dandy has learned to spell his name. And it only took him two episodes!
D-A-N-D-Y is back, baby. And he's learned a thing or two.
Loved the 5th one.
It looked out of a Ghibli movie (secret homage to the studio? who knows)
Great episode! Really made me want to go on a fishing trip.
Just caught up the whole series today, since I had only seen the first four episodes.
But the new one was great! I just went on a fishing trip, though mine certainly wasn't as exciting.

What's your sig from? It looks so familiar.
From what I hear, this episode was directed, storyboarded and animated by an ex-Ghibli animator. It was a rather pleasing episode.

I sure get asked that a lot lately. Good. It's from Gundam Build Fighters which is a pretty wonderful show regardless of what one might think based on the shallow premise alone. If you haven't seen it, give it a try, it's free on Youtube.

Wasn't a fan of this episode but next one looks like it might be quite good.
Best part was calling dibs on the motorbike spaces
We had to wait till the second season for an episode who sets light on some of the most important secondary characters. I loved that episode. Except the characterization of Scarlet. She is strong enough herself, there is no need to be so desperate, imho.
And… I want to work at her place :ninja:
The fishing episode was incredible. It screaming Ghibli at me the whole time in the best way possible.
And the animation on those waves was fantastic.
Why is no one talking about this weekend's episode? Definitely one of the best in the series. The animation, music and mood came together beautifully. Who did the art on this one? That's some of the finest work I've seen in all anime.
All around fantastic episode, next weekend looks like it's going to be hilarious!
So if you didn't need any further confirmation that Dandy himself is NOT quite human and is definitely some sort of Galactic constant IMO.
This last episode was just beautiful. I even teared up a little in the end…
Just watched 20 and 21.
20: Loved the wackiness of this one. The faux-serious and "manly" pacts were fantastic
21: Jaw-droppingly incredible. The art and animation…how long did this take them? And the music and general feel of everything combined perfectly at the end of the episode. I was seriously in awe.
The only thing missing the whole time was the pompadour. Dandy isn't Dandy without that hair.
Well Dandy without a pompadour is a dead dead Dandy.
I need to catch up. Haven't seen an episode since the musical one, and I was surprised to find out Funimation only has subbed episodes on their site and not dubbed episodes. I just would prefer watching the dub since I've been doing that since the beginning and haven't seen the subbed version yet.
I liked the subbed version a lot better, but the dubbed version can be found around the net through… means...
I liked the style of the animation on this episode, though I can't say that I liked much else this time.
Seems that we've finally gotten confirmation of
! Dandy's latent pyonium energy (I bet it's the hair).
Caught up to the last 3 episodes, absolutely out of this world, stellar (:D) stuff.
The dub in the latest episode was really good (more so than usual), even with the spacesingian's annoying voice. And Dead Dandy was so, so good.
Next episode … might not be all that
Actually, here's the original version. :ninja:
Ah, unrequited love~
I liked the episode for the Dandy-Scarlet chemistry, but the ex could have been a little more fleshed out, I guess.
The ex was a creepy stalker in a mobile suit…which he used for stalking purposes and to partake in random Itano Circuses out of nowhere.
Good enough for me!
Another fantastic episode. Maaan, season 2 is ace and I'm sad there are only 3 episodes left.
Didn't much care for this weeks episode, but I know they like to keep the penultimate episodes low-budget to go all out in the finale - so I don't mind much.
Still, might be one of the weakest Dandy episode, no strong gags, no action,
! High points for me were the jury bantering, the touching background for the victims wife & the victim himself actually being alive in the whole time
Looks like the next week is the series finale, I'll miss it. Hope they'll go out with a bang…
just not the Cowboy Bebop kind of bang…
"Going against the flow? Just means you're swimming in place. One day you are too tired to paddle, and suddenly you drown. Whole thing was pointless and now you're dead THE END. Now, going with the flow is where it's at - and that's the dandy way to live." - Space Dandy
Adios Dandy
Or it would be, but other than the finale, I haven't seen any new episodes since the Musical episode so I'm hoping to watch 'em. Plus, it might be worth watching some old episodes to catch certain references made in the finale.
See you later, Space Dandy-boy.
What a great series.
Pretty good finale, but maybe I expected more. It's a bit weird to have a finale where the main character isn't even present for half the episode. Some really good soundtracks though.
I had a huge grin on my face the whole time. The entire staff, voice actors, writers, animators were just having a blast, and I had fun picking out all the shout outs (I got most of the anime ones, but I did not expect that Twilight Zone one near the end). Loved Dandy's conversation with God as well (What…? Huh...?). Made the most sense out of everything in the episode, heh.
Got to episode 4 and i finally understand where Porcelaonpot´s avatar comes from.
I´m enjoying it so far.
4 was Golden, i also really enjoyed 1 and 2.
3 had it´s moments, but the weakest until now.
I´m not going to ask because i don´t want to be spoiled, but i hope all of these events are related to the space-time thing that keeps happening and maybe to the chaon he pulled in the first episode.
I can understand him and Meow getting thrown into space for somewhat comedy effect, but i don´t buy episode´s 1 ending where he dies.
I fucking love Bean
Just watched the last episode. Man, from now on I'll miss new SD-episodes every week. They were so relaxing and beautiful to watch.
Does anyone know why Space Dandy has yet to be announced on DVD/Blu Ray? They pushed Attack on Titan quickly enough, yet I cannot find any info on a DVD or Blu Ray release for Space Dandy.
