Review of Space Dandy

Im seeing a lot of people saying “this anime only has a few good episodes” which is true, don’t let it discourage you from watching the anime. This anime was an extremely fun watch. Even if there are only a few good episodes, the bad ones aren’t necessarily not enjoyable. I dont think you should skip any episodes in this anime. While many episodes are like a 6-7/10 the ones that arent are great. Sure, maybe the humour isnt for you, but humour is subjective. The booby jokes dont really get in the way of anything, its just dandy’s character. Story: now, with thestory, each episode has almost no continuity except for maybe some references of the last episode. The story here doesnt really show until later in the show, and the story itself isnt that great. A good anime doesnt need to have a good story. For example: demon slayer. It doesnt have the best story, its not a bad one but its certainly not great, yet it is one of the most popular anime because of two reasons: animation and characters. That moves us on onto the next 2 subjects.

Animation and art: since this is animated by studio bones. The same anime studio that made FMAB, MHA, and soul eater (just to name a few). Needless to say, the animation here is absolute eye candy. When a character moves, it looks like they move. This anime has amazing art and if you just want to see good animation, watch this.

Characters: the main cast of characters are very fun to watch as they are full of personality. While it doesnt have a huge cast of characters (main and side) the main 3 are very fun to watch. The character design in the show is very good too.
All the characters, even the ones that briefly appear have lots of effort put into the design. Every alien looks different instead of just many of the same species. I cant really think of anything to say about the characters other than “they’re fun to watch”.

Sound design: since I don’t really know how to judge sound design and stuff, I'll say its pretty good.

Music: this anime has a great soundtrack and it knows when to use the right song at the right time.

Dub: now i wouldn't include this but the dub is actually good. Watching it sub or dub doesnt matter as both are good.

Humour: lots of booby and crude jokes. The jokes can be oversaturated to some people but i didnt mind any of it. The humour definitely didnt make me scream out laughing but I definitely got some chuckles out of it.

Overall rating: 8. I think of it as a 9 but rating that would be biased as it definitely isnt a 9. More like an 8.70. Anyway, go check it out. Season 2 is definitely better than season 1. Its not that long and its on netflix and funimation so its easily accessible (to those who dont have it region locked on funimation).

Notes: the humour isnt very good but watching the show itself isnt losing anything. Its not great, but i enjoyed it. While what i enjoyed was subjective i really dont believe that it should be getting so many negative reviews. Its a fun watch overall, although it has many flaws, it definitely doesnt fall short on what i enjoyed.
