Podcasts about Space Dandy

**Anime and Mimosas!!**

On this podcast we review the premiere of Lazarus, Shinichirō Watanabe's first original series since Space Dandy. The year is 2052: a “miracle” drug called Hapuna has cured every disease—only for its inventor, Dr. Skinner, to announce that everyone who took it will die in three years. Enter the Lazarus Task Force. Tune in as break down Episode 1's plot beats, the characters, music, tone, comparisons and our rating.Welcome to Today's Episode!

Shinichiro Watanabe is a legend amongst anime fans and an auteur who pushes the boundaries of what the anime medium has to offer. Titles such as Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Space Dandy are Adult Swim staples that have defined a generation. Now he's back with an upcoming action series debuting on Cartoon Network midnight 05 April 2025 called Lazarus. A story about a world wracked in chaos due to a “cure-all” opioid becoming lethal and the reluctant rag-tag group of criminals tasked to find the neuroscientist responsible in the hopes of creating a vaccine. It is a race against time on a global stage.Your backdoor anime hangout had the privilege and honor to interview Watanabe-san for his latest title: his inspiration for the title, musical collaborations, and involvement with the John Wick director, Chad Stahelski.Many Thanks To:Interpreter: Takayuki Karahashi of Green Room InternationalInterview Coordination: Jo Ann Faustino of Green Room International Raymond Shipman of Anime Los AngelesOtaku Hourly Crew:Interviewer: Jonathan BeltranVideo: Jonathan Charles GarciaAudio: Matthew AquinoEditor: Christian WisemanResearch: Clifford Sutton“TM & © 2025 Cartoon Network.

Do you have a big ego? Do you know someone who has? This Quackcast is about utilising egos for comic characters for comedic purposes, to humanise character, or to make villains more unlikeable and or funny. Big egos are a sign of poor self esteem, people inflate their egos to cope with feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. For examples of that we have a certain prominent politician and also a tech billionaire as perfect representations of every facet of that concept. :) Personally I LOVE a protagonist with a big, inflated ego, especially if it's also illustrated that it's undeserved, and often shown punctured. It's pretty uncommon for protagonists to have big egos though unfortunately because people see that as weakness in their character and status rather than making them more interesting. Big egos are far more common in villains, mostly because it's seen as a negative trait, but also because it's an easy way to show how weak and pathetic they are, they're also a goldmine for easy laughs. The latter is the reason that the characters with the biggest egos in fiction are often not the main villain but the villain's lieutenant. My favourite protagonists with big egos are Tank Girl, George Costanza from Seinfeld, Duckman (played by the same actor as George. Jason Alexander), Flashman from the books by George MacDonald Fraser, Space Dandy, Basil Faulty from Faulty Towers, Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping up Appearances, and Meg from the series Drifters. I'd love to name more but it's not a common trait, though you can point out a million villains with massive egos. In the Quackcast I examine Conan the Barbarian as a story about ego: Conan acquires a massive ego as a reaction to being kidnapped as a child and living as a slave, then being trained as a gladiator and lauded with praise and women. That only increases when he gets his freedom, joins his friends and becomes a successful thief. He's then tasked with rescuing a princess from a cult and returning her to her father. His ego is so big he eschews the help of his friends and tries to do it alone. He's captured by the villain, Thulsa Doom, the same man who killed his mother and enslaved him. Thulsa lectures him on the strength of ego and manipulation before crucifying Conan on a tree. As he dies, Conan's ego dies with him. His friends find his body and take him back, reviving him without ego. In then end Conan defeats Thulsa Doom, Thulsa expects his ego to dominate Conan and save himself but Conan kills him the same way Thulsa killed his mother, and does it totally without ego. As a last gesture he burns down Thulsa's temple and his cult disbands: the last two symbols of Thulsa Doom's over inflated ego. Do you agree with my take on Conan the Barbarian? Do you like characters to have a big ego? If so, what are your fave examples?

After taking an unexpected month-long break from this show, we are FINALLY back and we are FINALLY whole again with Andrew back in the saddle to give all of the shenanigans that have been sorely missed in his absence. This includes running down the spring dub casts (finally) and reading some cringy light novel summaries, and it also includes talking about some pretty cool things like a Sakamoto Days project for Netflix getting leaked out, TOONAMI REWIND on Fridays, a positive tease for 86 from VIZ of all companies, a scintillating sell for the new Code Geass project, and the curious case of Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction going from movies to a TV series with zero notice - same with Crunchyroll picking it up and giving it a dub ALSO with zero notice.

Bones is synonymous with a high level of quality, whether that is showcased in action sequences in popular battle shounen or in bringing to life creative original works. Ionatan and Ravi discuss the studio's founding by Sunrise staff members and how their early works like the 'Cowboy Bebop' movie and 'Fullmetal Alchemist' laid the foundation for future productions made with an international audience in mind. Then, they pick their top five Bones anime, from a modern classic in 'Mob Psycho 100' to the industry event that was 'Space Dandy' to the nostalgia of 'Soul Eater.'

I hear they have good wings.

The Anime Boiz watch the first six episodes of Space Dandy and talk about it!

Anime Territory: It's a dandy podcast in space. They comb the internet like their pompadour on the hunt for good anime. Show after Show they search, discovering bizarre new anime both good and not. These are the spectacular adventures of Anime Territory and their brave space friend, Alex, in space.

Everyone was presented with the topic, but no one wants to talk about it...but the Gents definitely will acknowledge the fact that extra-terrestrial beings have definitely interacted with Earthlings. There really is no other way to talk about the subject of aliens and outer space (3:00), EstoBro and TV definitely bring up the fact that they are not alone in this universe. Many forms of media have been created and consumed in recent decades, and the Gents bring up the fact that there needs to be a return of aliens featured in anime and manga (17:30). This debate brings up a variety of shows from Tenchi Muyou! to Space Dandy, and even popular hits like Sailor Moon that featured species that are from out of this world! The Gents reminisce on where they saw these shows first on Toonami growing up, they bring their attention to the drama the hit channel Cartoon Network is facing (33:45). Warner Brothers' animated department is having a weird break-up with the infamous cartoon hub, and fans of all ages are gravely worried about what is to become of a simple escape where people gathered and watched cartoons. Between all the discussions on aliens and cartoons, EstoBro brings attention to the topics that were addressed in an episode prior (58:30), which can only call for future episodes to be an annual topic that is discussed on the EstoBro TV Podcast.Interact with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:TwitterInstagramFacebookTumblrEmail: estobrotvpod@gmail.com

On this episode, Kelby and David try something new. They each focused on a different piece of media, and during the episode, we tell the other about it. David read Hideyuki Kikuchi's 1983 novel Vampire Hunter D, and Kelby watched Space Dandy. We talk: Scottish accents, people falling is hilarious, Kelby's sleep schedule, David's spooky dream, tax talk, only keeping 72% of what you earn, Mary Kay drug dealers, tax loopholes, Grant hitting the top of the Black Horror charts, Broken River's power, changing our perspective on money, bad job interviews, advertising dollars, professional long hair, the lessons to be found in the plot structure of action films, Vampire Hunter D, Kikuchi's lineage, David's interpretation of the innuendo in the book, the freedom of setting your book 10,000 years in the future, the hotness of D, vampires that eat c**, the YA formula, dimension warping, faces in hands, one-note characters, gradual change over dozens of book, directly speaking to the reader, getting back to looking at paper books, the strange warping of time when you look at your phone, the pressure to respond to texts, basic manners, acting professional, losing touch with the youth, Space Dandy, finding aliens to catalogue them, art style similarities to Redline, a restaurant called “Boobies,” Beetlejuicians, the new way of doing Agitator, potential Youtube documentaries, paying back karmic debt,  and being motivated by money.   On the Patreon (dropping Monday), Kelby and I talk about the first book in the Cradle series, Unsouled. How can we adopt the lessons in cultivation novels and LitRPGs for our own writing? Big shop talk episode.

We watched Space Dandy, which is either an epic anthology or the most jilting unfunny attempt at wacky humor ever to be animated. Also, Jason is back but he’s not happy.

This week the class is going to the movies! I mean, our living rooms, but you get the idea! We cover the 1984 Japanese short story by author Seiko Tanabe, "Josee, the Tiger, and The Fish". This film was previously released back in 2020 and follows the story of Tsuneo, a college student who is working multiple jobs to achieve his dream of diving into other oceans in search of a certain fish, and Josee, a dreamer, who lives her life stuck in a wheelchair. This romantic comedy-drama film was animated by Studio Bones, who have animated other famous works such as "Mob Psycho, My Hero Academia, and Space Dandy". Tune in as we discuss our thoughts on this rom-com movie, and see if we thought it lives up to the hype of other similar Japanese animated movies that have been released in the past few years.

Totgeglaubte leben länger! Mit der Ankündigung des neuen "Spice and Wolf"-Anime-Projekts diskutieren wir, wie die Anime-Industrie ältere Franchises wieder ein wenig aufleben lässt. Lukas hat mit Kiznaiver, Orbital Children und Space Dandy recht unterschiedliche Vertreter des Genres Sci-Fi gesehen. Das Mädchen, das durch die Zeit sprang und der Rewatch von A Silent Voice stillen seinen doch ansehnlichen Hunger auf zurückliegende Anime. Julian hingegen füllt seine letzte Zeit mit recht viel Kleinkram. Dazu gehören die OVAs von Tomozaki-kun und Wotakoi, eine sehr gut animierte Folge der derzeit laufenden Princess-Connect-Adaption und ein kleiner WIT-Youtube-Short. Mit dem Lord El-Melloi II Special hat er aber auch etwas ein wenig längeres aufgeholt.

Sejam bem-vindos a mais um Katoon! Podcast da nossa série clássica onde apresentamos um tema fechado a ser discutido, não apenas podendo ser uma obra, como também um off-topic. Desta vez mais uma escolha pessoal de um integrante, Crive escolheu Spade Dandy!

Sendo assim, em busca de entender os motivos de Shinichiro Watanabe ter liderado tamanha loucura, embarcamos nesta viagem astral que de fato é uma ida sem volta ao tédio. O que você irá ouvir no Podcast 65: Space Dandy Em primeiro lugar o que é Space Dandy? A princípio escolhemos a pior obra que leva o nome de Shinichiro Watanabe? Primeiramente lançado no Toonami! Afinal de contas qual o motivo de existir este anime? Animação incrível para pouco roteiro? Ao passo que a trilha sonora é um show a parte? Liberdade para animador é certamente uma combinação errada? Deveriam ter mais animes experimentais deste modo? Os melhores episódios são os “sérios”? O que de fato vale a pena?

Loucura, loucura, loucura! Somente isso exemplifica o que é este anime. Uma experimentação tamanha que tange ao brilhantismo, mas também ao pedatismo sem tamanho.

Sonny Boy has blown me away countless times and the eighth episode of the anime storyboarded by Keiichirō Saitō honestly took it to another level. In this week's episode I want to break down my thoughts on the way this episode was directed and get to the bottom of why it's so effective at making the viewer uncomfortable.

Nick records this one nude. Can you hear the difference? Also, Kyle recommends you watch The Green Knight (which Nick also enjoyed) while Nick recommends checking out Space Dandy.

Can you hear, our heart beat? No? Well, turn up the volume to hear us (and special guest, Nikola, of [YOI Wednesdays](https://twitter.com/yoiwednesdays)) talk about fans of Yuri!! on ICE! Next week, we'll be talking with a guy who literally wrote the book (well, _a_ book) on Chrono Trigger, Michael P. Williams, to talk about fans of Chrono Trigger! ## Where can I learn more about YOI Wednesdays? Would you like to learn more about Nikola and YOI Wednesdays? You're in luck! - Nikola's Twitter: [@notgneissatall](http://twitter.com/notgneissatall) - YOI Wednesday Twitter: [@yoiwednesdays](https://twitter.com/yoiwednesdays) - YOI Wednesday Podcast: [soundcloud.com/yoiwednesdayspod](https://soundcloud.com/yoiwednesdayspod) ## Episode outline ### Fandom Facts **History and Origins:** > Yuri!!! on Ice is a 12-episode anime series following Katsuki Yuuri in his competitive figure skating career. The series is produced by MAPPA, directed by Yamamoto Sayo [_Michiko and Hatchin_, _The Woman Called Fujiko Mine_, some episodes of _Samurai Champloo_ and _Space Dandy_] and written by Kubo Mitsurou. > — [Fanlore - Yuri!!! on Ice](https://fanlore.org/wiki/Yuri!!!_on_Ice) **Search Data / Growth:** _Yuri on Ice_ had a huge spike in interest between [October 2016 and December 2016](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2016-07-01%202018-07-31&q=%2Fg%2F11cmg5bxns) (which coincides with the release of, at the time, the only season of the anime). Interest in the show has been pretty consistent since then, though not nearly as popular as during that period. The top 10 countries for _Yuri on Ice_, by search volume, are as follows: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, Chile, Singapore, Russia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Hungary (Canada is 16th, United States is 18th, and Australia is 22nd). Looking at [redditmetrics for the YOI subreddit](http://redditmetrics.com/r/YOI), the subreddit reached 5000 subscribers in under a month, but growth has been pretty flat since then. **Fan Demographics:** - [From a fan survey run by KykyElric](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeo89_0mbccjeTrVoP2HYSvRfWGIyhTgec4YeEHcw4LjEF-Pw/viewanalytics), we do have some data about some of the over 2000 respondents: - _Age:_ The most populous group was ages 19-29 (36.2%), followed by 16-18 (31.3%), then folks 13-15 (23.4%). Put differently, more than half of those surveyed were under the age of 18 - _Gender_: The largest group was people who identified as female (79.1%), followed by male (5.3%), 'still figuring it out' (4.3%), and genderfluid (4.1%) - _Sexuality_: The largest group identified as heterosexual (33.2%), followed by bisexual (22.7%), and pansexual (11.8%) There are also some bits of data: - _Favourite character_: Viktor Nikiforov (35.1%), Yuuri Katsuki (31.3%), Yuri Plisetski (15.4%) - _Favourite ship_: Viktuuri (89.3%) - _Sub vs. Dub_: Sub (77.8%), Either (18.8%), Dub (3.4%) - _Ice skating interest pre/post:_ Converts (41%), Interested - No change (37.6%), Uninterested - No change (11.7%) - _Fan contributions_: Fan art (35.4%), Theories (28.7%), Memes (27.8%) - _Favourite non-main-character skater_: Mari Katsuki (Yuuri's Sister, 47.3%) **Fanac Fast Facts:** - _Yuri!!! on Ice_ has almost 30 000 fanfics on [Archive Of Our Own](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Yuri!!!%20on%20Ice%20(Anime)/works)... - Top Three Ratings: Teen and up (32%), General Audiences (28%), Explicit (19%) - Top Three Categories: M/M (89%), Gen (9%), F/M (5%) - Top Three Tags: Fluff (25%), Angst (10%), AU (8%) ### What did we discuss? - What do you wish people knew about `FANDOM`? - What is the best part of of being a fan `FANDOM` (e.g. in terms of participation within the fandom, opportunities, feelings)? - What is the worst part of being a fan of `FANDOM` (e.g. in terms of perceptions, bad elements of the fandom)? - Where do people meet to talk about the fandom? Is it centralized

This week, we're teaming up to get a high score with Michael Kimball as we blast into the world of... Galaga?! What is it about the classic arcade game that has held its allure for more than thirty years? And where is the fandom heading? Next week, we move from space fighter to space _robots_ to talk about Gunpla with [the Otaku Journalist, Lauren Orsini](https://www.otakujournalist.com/)! ## Where can I learn more about Michael Kimball? You can learn more about Michael by [checking out his website](http://www.michael-kimball.com/) or perhaps even by reading his book, [_Galaga_](https://bossfightbooks.com/collections/books/products/galaga-by-michael-kimball) published by Boss Fight books! ## Episode outline ### Fandom Facts **History and Origins:** > Galaga is a Japanese arcade game developed and published by Namco Japan and by Midway in North America in 1981. It is the sequel to 1979's Galaxian. The gameplay of Galaga puts the player in control of a spacecraft which is situated at the bottom of the screen, with enemy aliens arriving in formation at the beginning of a stage, either trying to destroy, collide with, or capture the spaceship, with the player progressing every time alien forces are vanquished. > > — [Wikipedia - Galaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaga) The game has been re-released and sequeled multiple times, with at least twenty different games existing in its release history including tie-in versions for popular anime _Space Dandy_ and fighting game series _Tekken_. **Size of Fandom:** Estimating the number of fans is always difficult. Using a few data points that we have: - The [Galaga subreddit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaga) has about 140 subscribers - The [Arcade subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/cade/) has over 22 000 subscribers - The [Retrogaming subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/) has almost 63 000 subscribers - Two remixes on [OverClocked Remixes](http://ocremix.org/game/192/galaga-arc) - [300 000 people](http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-bc-as--new-zealand-galaga-wars-20180504-story.html) tuned in to watch a livestream of a Galaga tournament Given such a wide range of values, the safest estimate probably puts the number of fans _in the thousands_. **Fast Facts:** - Archive Of Our Own and FanFiction.net have about 60 fanfics combined that reference Galaga, the majority of which involve "Galaga Guy" from the first Avengers movie; even DeviantArt returns a scant almost 3000 results - The 2007 ABC series, _Lost_, features a submarine named after the game > Variety reports **Galaga Chronicles is being developed by The Nuttery Entertainment, who reached an agreement with the original creators, Bandai Namco. The firm will be responsible for developing a story and characters for the Galaga series for the first time in its over 30 year history**. No official word yet on where the animated series is set to land if it's completed and greenlit, but it's being reported the series and other Galaga related projects the company is working on will be cut across various platforms. The project is still very early on in development, so no release date has been given as of yet. > > — [Cinemablend - Galaga Might Get A TV Show, And Yes, We Mean That Galaga](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/1683990/galaga-might-get-a-tv-show-and-yes-we-mean-that-galaga) ### [Last Episode's](http://fanthropological.com/e/#-name) Famous Last Words **Justus** Given the age of Galaga and the fact that there haven't been that many remakes over the years... why Galaga? What is it about that game that lends itself to the longevity of the fandom? [// Why are folks still a fan?]: # [// I am also curious about this]: # **T** How does the community stay together, given how small it is? [// I found an official forum, but it was almost dead?]: # **G** Is there an aspect to Galaga fandom that is non-competitive? **Z**

In this episode we make the mistake of trying to record a podcast in a moving car! Evan and Ink, exhausted from a weekend at Otakon 2013 talk about the ups and downs of the convention with Vinnie and Vince Averello. The audio quality isn’t great, but for a podcast recorded on a portable recorder in a car, I think we did a damn good job. Show notes and links are after the break, as always.
