Is there any difference in file size or bitrate between the individual S1/S2 Blu Ray releases, and the Complete Series release?

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to opt for the individual seasons.

Can't find the soundtrack for S2 Ep 21 (World without sadness, Baby)

I know that parts of it are based on Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) but I can't find an official release for it. At best theres only clips from the show on youtube. I was really hoping to find the exact version with all of the anime accoutrements

The greatest hidden joke of Space Dandy

I feel like a lot of people missed this one when I talk to them, but maybe it’s obvious. So Dandy combs the Galaxy searching for the rarest, most valuable aliens to register in order to make money. All they have to do to be registered is walk through that little scanner.
The joke is that dandy is likely the single most valuable alien in the galaxy. He’s a multidimensional being, made of hyper valuable god particles, that is literally the only creature that can become god itself. If he just walked through that scanner himself, the one he’s RIGHT next to so many times, he would become absolutely loaded.

Space Dandy Reviewed: Every Episode

1. Live with the Flow, Baby - 4/5 (This starts off way too 4th wall-y. Thankfully it's only the opening and is quickly dropped after that. I instantly understood what kind of show this would be when the main character's first monologue is about how much better ass is than boobs. A very funny one. Most humor that doesn't come from Dandy's cocky personality is really just physical comedy. The way he just WALKS in the intro is funny. He looks so slick. The final action scene with him and Meow running from the monsters is a perfect example. It's mesmerizing with it's beautiful animation, but also hilarious with their body movements jokes squeezed in between. Like them sliding down around a rock mid-fight.

I like how meta it is with the typical sci-fi space setting. They establish there's a war between 2 empires trying to rule the galaxy... But brush it off to show Space Dandy and his silly adventure. We're introduced to an evil general, taking orders from an even more sinsiter looking emperor... And they brush that off too because they always fail and the main character isn't even aware of it. It's generic on purpose, but at the same time, it's also unique, which I think largely has to do with the character designs of the two villains. I mean the emperor is a skeleton head with a galaxy cloak and planets surrounding him. The general is a gorilla in a periwig! The show is really unique in it's alien designs, which I LOVE in shows involving aliens. Too boring when they're all just like humans with different skin colors.

Side note: Dandy and QT assuming Meow was a different species from Betelgeusian because of some mark on his cheek is so stupid. It turned out to be a sticker, but my first assumption if I saw someone with a mark I didn't recognize would certainly not be "IT'S A NEW SPECIES!". Do tattoos, body modifications, or just different fur patterns/colors simply not exist in their mind?)

2. The Search for the Phantom Space Ramen, Baby - 5/5 (So the evil general continues to be nothing but a joke, since Dandy has no awareness he is being tracked by him at all! It's even more amusing here, since it's a larger part of the plot, but still not really. Nothing but an inconvenience for Dandy and his crew while searching for the Phantom Ramen. It's hilarious alone that Dr. Gel only manages to track down Dandy because Meow posts all the restaurants they go to on social media.

Dandy's cocky attitude and body movements continues to be hilarious. I can't praise that enough. But doing that would be repetitive, so just know this will probably apply for every episode foreward. His absolute confidence and slickness when flirting with some random lady to ask for cash is perfect. And the way he frantically runs around the corner of a table from the bug soldiers chasing him is just hilarious. He has moments like this sprinkled out all the time.

And the plot of this episode is the kind of silly sci-fi stuff I love. They found the rumored "Phantom Ramen" and it turns out it's cooked by a lonely old bug-like creature on an asteroid at the other side of a wormhole. And the episode actually takes quite a depressing turn. I'm not sure if it's meant to be taken seriously, due to the comedic nature of this show, but the old ramen-maker's story was quite compelling and bittersweet despite how short it was. I wasn't expecting that. Though ONE critique I have is I didn't like that the origin of his story was he just accidentally killed someone while trying to light her cigarette. And that he had such an overly dramatic reaction to it. It's a comedy show, but I think making this bit 100% serious would be even more effective. Still, it doesn't make the talk they have at the end less bittersweet. Very nice. I feel bad, but happy for him at the same time. He seems content)

3. Occasionally Even the Deceiver Is Deceived, Baby - 3/5 (I figured out pretty quickly that the woman they met was the monster that would eat them, not monsterous looking aliens. Pretty amusing that they were trying to warn him the whole time. Why did a whole herd of them need to swarm him to do that though? Seems counter-intuitive. Also, that woman's jean shorts are absolutely pointless. Lmao! She is so ridiculously sexualized. Even when revealing her monster form, it starts from her... Breasts expanding and... She grows more boobs all over her body. Boob monster. Uhh... Well then.

I like that Dandy actually takes a win at the end. In shows like this where the character has the same goal every episode but keeps failing, or giving up the opportunity, they need a win every now and then. Also, goodbye Meow, I guess? Left inside the belly of the beast)

4. Sometimes You Can't Live with Dying, Baby - 5/5 (Welp, Meow is back. No explanation at all. So it's gonna be that kind of show, huh? I love it. It means they can end the episode in the most wacky scenarios ever. One would argue it leads to lazy writing because they don't need to resolve the conflict. But it's funny! And this episode is another one of those.

It starts off with Meow becoming a zombie, put in a hospital, and infecting the entire place. When Dandy and QT return, you would think the plot would be that they manage to find a cure for the zombification. Instead, they just get bitten too, and we simply see them adjusting to life as zombies. It's so mundane it's hilarious. I also found it extremely clever that Dandy could take out his life insurance on the technicality that he, as a zombie, is dead. And the episode just going on and on with the narrator explaining the zombie stuff... It honestly felt way longer than it really was. I also found it funny that the first zombie tells them yogurt is a better diet for zombies than raw meat. This show is oddly hilarious in the weirdest ways.

Not at all where I expected the episode to go. It was very jarring. The latter half is so slow paced as it's just the narrator telling us this stuff. It's even weirder that this is kind of a happy ending. I mean, the whole universe gets infected eventually, and becomes a utopia with no sickness, death or war)

5. A Merry Companion Is a Wagon in Space, Baby - 4/5 (First time we see Dandy show his soft side. This is such an adorable episode. It felt like he slowly grew to become a bit of a father figure to Adélie... I think? It could have been expanded upon a little more. He acts pissed and like he doesn't care, but he clearly empathizes with her. The road trip montage was so adorable and conveys that very well with no dialogue. His heart grows so big he goes out of his way to track down her missing grandpa. He's just too proud to admit it. Literally lies about going to BooBies so he can do it in secret. This makes him a lot more likeable than purely for his comedy.

I found their conflict at the train station a bit forced and lame, though. And I didn't really like the action scene with Dandy's soul transferred to a penguin doll. In fact I found that whole "power" a pretty lame aspect of the episode. And how human she looks for being an "alien". But aside from that it was a sweet and wholesome episode throughout. Though while Dandy sacrificing the reward for her registration to let her live in peace with her grandpa is sweet, there's literally no reason they couldn't just go register and then bring her back. Feels like it wouldn't be too much trouble, and she seemed fine with it. It wouldn't hurt. It would just be a detour for her.

Side note: Dandy's final line to her is... Extremely creepy. He says she can join his crew if she grows up to have big boobs and butt... SHE'S A KID!)

6. The War of the Undies and Vests, Baby - 2/5 (I was not really feeling this episode. The aliens were ugly and honestly just very annoying. And the conflict is stupid. I get that's the point, but it also just wasn't very funny. There isn't much to this episode)

7. A Race in Space Is Dangerous, Baby - 3/5 (A racing episode? Really? I'm generally not a fan of these cause there's so little story you can tell about characters driving a vehicle in a straight path. Obviously the story is that Dandy wants to totally pwn this very fruity looking man. But it's... Whatever, I guess. His crew being a mimic of Dandy's and the "Meow" of the group being Mickey Mouse was pretty weird. Not "funny", just weird. One of the female racers is also straight up a blue Twi'lek from Star Wars.

I did like all of Dandy's several "last" resorts (especially how he had to resort to it immediately upon starting the race) and all the zany ways he gets closer to first place. His ship bouncing from asteroid to asteroid while on fire is some more fantastic visual comedy. Anyway, the biggest highlight was the ending where Prince "falls in love" with Dandy and the narrator gives us a lot of innuendos of gay intercourse)

8. The Lonely Pooch Planet, Baby - 4/5 (Dandy getting attached to a dog is a totally awesome concept for an episode. But it could have been so much more than this. It felt very rushed. Because all that really happens is he finds a dog, they play for a bit, then she dies. The rest of the episode is then devoted to two microscopic creatures (with human heads???) that lived on the dog's fur, as they attack the ship, and one of them dies so the other goes ballistic for revenge. It's a really funny section of the episode, absolutely. But it takes away what could have made the dog section even better.

To be fair, they didn't ONLY play for a bit. We saw Dandy's love for dogs with how adorably they instantly bonded. And his hatred for cats as he constantly roasts Meow and praises PUP. One thing I don't like about PUP is that she's able to speak, though. Through Dandy's universal translator, albeit. But having her be a talking, intelligent dog is not as interesting as having characters bond with dogs despite the intelligence and communication barriers. Even if a translator like that existed in real life, a dog would probably not be able to recite their whole backstory like PUP did. I just feel a whole episode devoted to Dandy getting attached to a dog who joins the crew and then passing could have made this greater than what we got.

Anyway, holy crap it's the fridge from Cowboy Bebop. Wow. That show sucks)

9. Plants Are Living Things, Too, Baby - 3/5 (Well, this is a very... COLORFUL episode. My eyes hurt. Every outline on Planta is colored. And Dandy goes off model a LOT in it. It's all very cool visually. Very mesmerizing. But the story didn't grip me. That's probably not the point of the episode though. It's just a series of crazy visuals. The designs of the plant creatures alone is crazy because they're so inhuman. I know, they AREN'T human, but they don't even look like typical sentient creatures with arms and heads and faces... They're so other worldly and weird. I think that's really cool. The "daughter" of the main plant who Dandy helped was INSANELY annoying though)

10. There's Always Tomorrow, Baby - 4/5 (I love how this starts with the narrator explaining the galactic war again, only for it to be pushed aside for some silly adventure.

Always love it when sci-fi shows lets us see the home planet of an alien main character. Meow's family and friends all look unique and distinct. Meow has such a confusing relationship with his dad, though. Am I meant to believe that Meow thinks his dad is disappointed in him? They barely interact. And every time his dad is on screen, he just has this goofy ass face and acts super passive. It's funny, but I'm not even sure that was the intention.

And halfway through it becomes Groundhog Day. That's pretty interesting, but less so because of the fact that the main characters weren't even aware of it. Yet for some reason, they gradually realized it... But no one else on the planet did? Well, granted, even if they did, they couldn't do anything about it since it's the calendar in Meow's home that's causing the loop. I fricking loved how the ending just mimics the beginning to show they're still in a loop, though not a literal one)

11. I'm Never Remembering You, Baby - 3/5 (This episode oozes of creativity and charm. It's super confusing all the way through, but not in a "wow this plot sucks I can't follow it" way. But in an endearing way. Because I didn't really care about the plot (it was ok) but moreso how styalized and cryptic the whole episode was. What with all the colors being washed out once they open the box. And everyone who's been near the Dandy crew forgetting they were ever there.

The reveal is such a crazy, high-end concept, I have nothing but respect for it. Especially how it all tied together, what with it being Dr. Gel who requested to have the book checked out (it's also hilarious that the monsterous, sinister looking Emperor is annoyed by having an overdue book). The reason the score isn't higher though is... It just wasn't great or anything. It's very clever, very visually interesting, but the plot itself wasn't that gripping)

12. Nobody Knows the Chameleon Alien, Baby - 4/5 (What's good about this episode? It's purely comedic hijinks. The Chameleonian messing with the crew the whole episode is hilarious. Especially when it starts imitating Dandy. I guess it's just a massive prankster for no reason. Although I don't understand why the real Dandy didn't just suggest to capture them both if they couldn't figure out which one was real. Nor why Meow or QT even suggested it. Granted, they were JUST banned from the registration center, but with a Chameleonian right in their palms, they should've just taken the chance and gone back anyway.

Also, QT becoming obsessed with fishing is adorable)

13. Even Vacuum Cleaners Fall in Love, Baby - 3/5 (Alright, I always find it ridiculous when robot stories start out with the robot we've known for a while already claiming they lack emotions. Like, come on. Surely QT is emotionally attached to his friends already? Or was he only anti-love, not anti-companions? Either way, him getting infatuated with a sentient coffee maker and constantly going to the shop to talk to her is pretty cute.

QT always came off as more of a female to me, though. Granted, he is a robot, so he obviously doesn't have a sex. But until they started calling him "him", I did think he was female. Frankly that would've been more interesting. It's funny how as a product, he was made to be a vacuum cleaner. Yet he gets to go on alien hunting adventures with Dandy. Haven't seen any of this yet, but I assume Dandy must respect him as a being moreso than just his tool. That's always a wholesome relationship between robot and organic characters in a world where robots are treated like objects. I would like to see how they met)

Time to question the logic of a show that's intentionally wacky and illogical on purpose: Why the heck would you give a bunch of appliances sentience and self awareness? That's pretty cruel, and quite literally slavery. Like why do washing machines or cash registers need to be sentient? An argument CAN be made for coffee makers by simply stating a self aware being can handle more things on their own than an automatic, mindless machine. Obviously a machine like that can't handle complex situations. Doesn't seem to be any human workers in the shop, so I guess that's why. Also, QT growing big because of what was effectively love... Nonsensical, but I love it. He must've killed a lot of people while driving his giant wheels all over that city, though)

14. I Can't Be the Only One, Baby - 3/5 (I love how this episode didn't go the usual route of alternate universe stories by having the different universes Aloha Oe crews simply look the same with minor differences. Instead, they're DRASTICALLY different. My problem is the first few were very funny and entertaining. A lot of effort was put into the designs of them. They're different, but you can see the similarities. But the more versions of themselves the met, they dumber they became. That's obviously the intention, but they became less charming and more just... Not funny. Would've much preferred the episode to be centered around the first 2 crews (and our main one) beefing with each other.

Anyway, the final crew was SO confusing. It's depressed Dandy who wants to die because... His Meow is ominious and his QT is some delusional man? Like, just leave the crew, bro. No one is forcing you to stay. Why sit there and sulk all the time instead of just ditching them? Although the narrator doing the regular opening with those guys was hilarious. Props for ending on a laugh, even if the latter half of the episode wasn't up to speed with the first half)

15. There's Music in the Darkness, Baby - 4/5 (This is the first time we've seen that Dandy actually considers Meow and QT to be his friends. Which I like. Their relationship so far has seemed like Dandy just kept them around cause he could use help on his missions. QT just being the housekeeper and Meow being a mooch who's there for... No reason. But this time, he was actually hurt by how they made fun of him. He didn't SHOW it very much, but I mean, the guy left BooBies and pancakes because of it. That's how you know it's serious. Meow and QT didn't even take him seriously at all. But who can blame them given the trivial subject matter that caused the fight.

And in the end he was even more mad at the Ukuleleman for having turned his friends into stone. It goes to show that he really does like them, he's just too cool to admit it. Meow and QT even had their own nice friend-scene here, where they just bond and joke around. Right before they get turned into stone. And the ending to the episode is so abrupt, it's great. He just plays the melody they were arguing about in the beginning of the episode on the alien's ukulele and that's it.

The Ukuleleman himself was a very creepy character. His creation alone is creepy cause of how little sense it makes. He was randomly born from a tree, and is made up of bones and a pink past? It's freaky how he moves like he's a puppet on strings. Especially the movements he makes when turning people into stone. But what is even happening when he does that? How is it turning people into stone?)

16. Slow and Steady Wins the Race, Baby - 4/5 (This is similar to the plant episode, in that it's just Dandy going off to a world that has a different artstyle than usual. And the whole episode just being like a psychedelic fever dream. Except this one is much better. The visuals are mostly what sells this episode for me. Absolutely spectacular. Two parts in particular: First, when they're escaping the planet. And second, when Meow chases the fish running while being burnt alive)

17. The Transfer Student Is Dandy, Baby - 4/5 (I was expecting this to be dull when it started with Dandy entering high school. But then it turned out to be awesome and hilarious! It's so high effort just to rip on high school media tropes.

I was incredibly confused as to why the class started rhythmically banging on the desks and then booing Dandy after his introduction. But in retrospect, they were expecting a grand musical number, and that's why they were giving him a beat. And when the popular girl actually started a musical number, I was shocked by how grand it was. I was not expecting a huge musical number like that from this show. But then the SECOND one in the finale comes and blows my mind even harder. It's SO long (which makes it even funnier) and the fact that Dandy just sings about booty is hilarious. Loved the moment when QT and Meow joined in to song, too. Especially Meow's insane stretchy dance.

Animation is great as usual, but holy MACARONI does it bump up from the moment Glasses Girl starts singing... After that I was just mesmerized by how fantastic it was. Although her solo part and the following dance is clearly rotoscoped, it still looked great. And that part of the song specifically was really catchy. Viva, viva viva, viva all!

Things I couldn't organically fit into my yammering about the musical number: The training was fricking hilarious. Like, they're training for prom by exercising? LOL. The three huge guys became... The Hulk?! And the fact that the Glasses Girl turned out to be the rare alien they were looking for sure was a twist, but also a little illogical. She's not off on some far away, unknown planet. She's not in hiding. She's going to public school. I would assume her species would be listed on her documents she'd need to get in in the first place)

18. The Big Fish Is Huge, Baby - 3/5 (It's another episode similar to the plant and fish one. Except this is even less interesting than the plant one. Dandy wants to catch some fish, and that's it. Of course ripping on the plot of a Space Dandy episode would be kinda stupid. But it also just wasn't that funny and the kid character he bonds with wasn't interesting at all nor did it have the same level of emotion that Adélie did. But Dandy's hair being ridiculousy long in this episode was funny visually. Why was it like that, though?)

19. Gallant Space Gentleman, Baby - 4/5 (First time we've seen Honey and Scarlet in major roles. She's not THAT developed, but I guess Honey is a little more than just some hot waitress. I mean the episode starts off with her. Watching a boxing match for some reason. Guess she likes it? And riding a motorcycle. And she takes down Dr. Gel pretty competently after being abducted. Meanwhile, Scarlet is just being a loser.

I really don't understand how a Cloudian can be a species known enough that all characters in this episode are aware of it and what they do, yet at the same time be unregistered? If it's named and well-known, why would it not be registered already?

Side note: Meow referenced that Dandy used to be a zombie in this episode. What the?? This stuff is hilarious, since that episode ended with no explanation how the virus was cured. Or if it was at all)

20. Rock 'n' Roll Dandy, Baby - 3/5 (Well, this is the first time we've seen the Jaicro Empire. All focus on this war that the show doesn't care about has been the Gogol Empire, who seem to care more about finding Dandy than anything. But the commander of the Jaicro is just some fruity looking elf-man who wants to be a rock star. That's cool, I guess. He and Dandy had a lot of funny moments. Other than that, there's not much to point out. Aside from how awesome the insanity of the ending was. Massive explosion!)

21. A World with No Sadness, Baby - 4/5 (SHEESH, how come every few episodes there's literally always one where Dandy goes to some strange place and the outlines gain color for some reason? That's not to say this wasn't a good one. It's a pretty good "trippy" episode, but that's it. Should I be talking about the deep meaning of it? Well, I didn't really find any.

Above all it's just an interesting, wacky ass story. You're as confused as Dandy, waking up in this crazy world where all the residents are the weirdest creatures he's ever seen, who are all talking about death for some reason. Though as it turns out, it's just some sort of limbo where they aren't dead yet, but not alive either. And some girl is in control of the planet. Or... Is the planet. I think this is super vague on purpose, because it doesn't really make any sense. And the ending was even more confusing. Dandy is sent to another dimension where he didn't die, so QT and Meow from this dimension will now have to deal with Dandy having died? That's messed up.

But then he arrives on the planet again via the lift, this time in a suit? What??? The thing is, I don't care about any "deep" meaning, message, or whatever the hell this episode had. I just want to decipher what the actual plot I just watched was. Not have a philosophical debate)

22. We're All Fools, So Let's All Dance, Baby - 3/5 (A planet of people with Shrek-ears hold a dance contest, and... That's it. Funny, but that's par for the course. The show always is. Unfortunately, nothing special to make this episode stick out. And it especially feels lackluster because the second latest episode to this was also about music/dancing etc.

Really just had some boring, not-very-analytical thoughts on it. Such as: "Man, this episode had a lot of rough lineart" and "What's with the fake 4:3 aspect ration in the record store?")

23. Lovers Are Trendy, Baby - 4/5 (While I'm usually not a fan of cliche romance, I found this episode really sweet. It's just Dandy and Scarlet slowly starting to like each other as they pretend to be a couple. It was jarring when Dandy saw Sacrlet in a sexy swimsuit at the beach and didn't go all "awooga mode"... But just complimented her hair. VERY out of character. The ending was really unsatisfying because of this. Even though I didn't expect them to get together, I was at least hoping they'd confess to each other. Instead they just argue at the registration center again and move on...

Didn't mention the crazy ex boyfriend fight because it was the least interesting part of the episode)

24. An Other-Dimensional Tale, Baby - 5/5 (Always, ALWAYS a fan of crazy sci-fi concepts. And this episode has a lot of them. Catherine is such a ridiculous character... She's just 2 boxes of lines with a heart in the middle! That alone was super cool. Although it does make me wonder how she and Dandy did the dirty. Their final conversation about warping raised some questions, though. We've seen other universes in "I Can't Be the Only One, Baby", so if it's true that warping simply transports your ship to another universe, anyone who warps will have to end up in an identical universe, otherwise it would be pretty quickly discovered how warping works if everyone who did it even once ended up in a super wacky universe.

And what about the universe they just warped FROM? Does this logic imply that a ship from a different universe who wants to warp to that position simply takes its place every time? Or is the universe warped away from simply left with no Dandy & crew? I mean they aren't the only ones with warping technology. So if that's the case, there's a lot of universes where people just disappear and are never seen again. GAH, I'M THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT IT.

Funnily enough the best part of this episode was probably Dr. Gel regressing dimensions. Seeing him in the 2nd dimension was interesting, but it does make me question how that even works. Sure, I see it as a flat surface, but what does that universe look from his point of view? I guess I'm not supposed to think about it. It's just crazy sci-fi nonsense. The exact thing I love about the show. And it gets even better when they travel down to the 1st dimension and then the 0th. Just some insane, mind-bending concepts alongside awesome animation)

25. Dandy's Day in Court, Baby - 3/5 (It's a whole episode about a court trial where Dandy is charged with first degree murder. And he sleeps throughout all of it. Turns out some random kid is guilty... Fun concept, but when most of it is spent with a bunch of random aliens I don't even know, I lose interest)

26. Never-ending Dandy, Baby - 4/5 (Now this is a little silly... This is the finale, so naturally I expected it to be about Dandy finally being captured by Dr. Gel. But, like... The show has done nothing but actively ignore any attempts to be serious about this lore, so it's a little odd that this episode feels like the story is supposed to be taken very seriously.

I liked the twist that Gel's assistant was a spy the whole time and just shoots him without hesitation. It's a stupid twist that I did not expect. Not stupid in a bad way, but in a funny way. That character looked so goofy, I could not take him seriously. Aside from that, this episode is mostly just mindless action. I suppose I liked QT, Meow, Honey and Scarlet all working together to save Dandy. Dandy having some "Pyonium" energy that makes him "the same Dandy in every universe" is incredibly convoluted, though. I don't hate it. It's amusing. I liked that the narrator was actually some type of God. But I definitely preferred the nature of the show being that the continuity is flat out not explained and you accept it because that makes it funny. Instead they actually dwelve into the lore. Meh.

Although it's still very confusing. The various Dandies from the other universes in "I Can't Be the Only One, Baby" were clearly not connected to the Dandy we know. So the Pyonium must clearly only work in universes that are identical to itself. Fans have said this means every episode is set in a different universe, which I don't really think is the meaning. Given characters flat out reference things that happened in previous ones. I mean, Meow remembered the fact that Dandy was a zombie for crying out loud. But that makes even LESS sense as the narrator specifically tells Dandy that he probably DOESN'T remember the universes where he was a so-and-so. And it wasn't even Dandy who remembered the zombification... It was MEOW for crying out loud! How does ANY of this make sense? Or is the point that it... Doesn't?

Either way, it's a bit of a depressing revelation if I'm meant to believe the characters I see every few episodes are not the same ones, and that there's simply a universe remaining out there where Meow was eaten by the boob monster. Or that the whole zombie universe is still going on somewhere else. To reiterate: I found the concept that all of this was canon and just not explained to be much more entertaining than the actual explanation itself. Sort of how like Kenny dies in a ton of South Park episode, yet they're all canon, and not in different universes)

Space Dandy is an S-Tier Anime

I made this for Dandy’s 10th birthday but ended up being a little late. I’m sure all of you in the subreddit are a lot more qualified to speak on Space Dandy than I am but I tried making it with love, and hopefully you guys think my vid is at all worth watching.

Viva Space Dandy baby!
