Too bad Space dandy isn't anywhere near as epic as Cowboy Bebop was...

It's simply a lowbrow comedy made by insanely talented people in the anime industry. And to be fair, most of the show has been pretty good. It had one very flat episode and the first episode didn't work too well in the first half, but the ramen episode was solid and the last three have been great. The Dead Rising references, especially, were very well-handled in what was easily SD's strangest episode so far.The trick to enjoying Space Dandy is to come in with zero preconceived notions of what the show should be and just enjoy the, most likely, ridiculous ride.
Just finished Sword Art Online, a virtual reality MMO based anime. As someone who's spent years in MMOs, I could certainly relate to many things. Very good show, IMO.

Hopefully I'll have time to catch up next week.Quote from: Maxvla on February 12, 2014, 09:13:43 AMJust finished Sword Art Online, a virtual reality MMO based anime.

Kill La Kill's issue is more like what the overall style it is - scantily clad girls that is highly misogynistic and pandering to the usual crowd - vs the looking deeper - something about putting aside what common people view (the slutwear) and making that your inner power or something. I say, fuck all that. I'm just there for the ridiculous fights and masterful space-time manipulation of their budget into making high quality nonsense (in a good way). And the most amazing Mankanshouku Mako, bestest supporting character in forever.
