Review of Space Dandy

There really are a variety of anime around aren't there. This anime was probably the highlight of the winter season compared to Kill La Kill which lost its overall promise easily. Standard hype strategy of start with a bang, end with a dissapointment. But space dandy is different. As much as I despise the Gintama-esque animes such a dandy, I enjoyed Dandy thoroughly as it was the best of the winter 2013-14 season. Story 5/10 This anime is very experimental and reminded me of the tatami galaxy because every episode seemed like a different 'world line' of the Space Dandy galaxy. Every episode is different andmay be unique or just completely flat. I get that each episode had different directors, but the show's execution was done in a way that was boring at times with no merit. Even though that being said, I really loved those 'unique' episodes as they were very well done. But really there is no story other than the fact that it's about 1 human 1 Talking Cat and 1 Robot trying to catch aliens with a ambiguous 'to be continued' sign at the end. The overall episodes are somewhat enjoyable, but nothing to be amazed at except for those few gem episodes.

9/10
Art's really good and reminds me of the old style animation while being somewhat modern at the same time. Animation is top-notch with little to no rough edges.

Music 10/10
The music is outstanding, esp. the ED/OP of the anime.

Character 9/10
Space dandy like Cowboy Bebop is more about the ride rather than the destination. The characters are all likable and even the side characters are thoroughly explained unlike the latter of TV shows. They are all interesting and likable, but the fact that most side characters are thrown away after an episode makes me wonder the question, why even include them. Well just waiting for the next season.

Enjoyment 8/10
I throughly enjoyed this experiemental anime show as it was unique in its own way. There were a few unique episodes which I absolutely loved, but most of space dandy's episodes were either dull or not even worth mentioning. Even though, I didn't like the episodes itself, I loved the characters inside it.

Overall 7/10
Overall it's a fun ride to watch dandy, but I found it very difficult to review because of the fact that every episode was different in its own way whether they are bad or good. I would definately watch this anime at the expense of free time, but it's not a must-watch.
