Why wasn't Space Dandy more popular on Sup Forums? it should be considered an instant classic like Cowboy Bebop and FLCL.

None of those anime have casts of predominantly cute girls.

Because it was being compared to its predecessors as it was airing and soured people's opinion of it at the time. Give it a few years and people's opinion of it will change.

Various reasons, but the 2 main ones are

>unconventional
>associated with Sup Forums

We talked about it a lot though

It has really shit 1st ep.
I dont really get why anime studios think its good idea to alienate most of their viewers at the start and making latter halves of the series better quality.

All three of the anime you posted are /reddit/-tier trash OP.

All the [adult swim] livewatch threads were on Sup Forums Good times they were.

For those who weren't here (or there) when it aired, it actually ran on Cartoon Network dubbed before it ran in Japan. So the primary discussion was in Sup Forums.

The first season is kinda hit or miss whereas the second season is where it really shines.

I thought it was completely average during the beginning but it does greatly improve as it progresses. I think the beginning turned many people away.

ITS BEEN THREE FUCKING YEARS

No, it's the opposite.
First season was consistently good for the most part while second either hit good or failed hard.

Stop shitposting with Maid Dragon, for fuck's sake.

What are you talking about? When it was airing there was always at least one Space Dandy thread active at all times

>tfw rewatched it and still enjoyed it

Plus there were still threads for it every time it aired, it wasn't unpopular at the very least.

This is from the plant episode right? I'm rewatching that one now and it's even trippier than I remember

That season was weird as fuck in terms of people's expectations and the reality. I remember everyone was shitting on Dandy and WCW and expecting things from Wizard Barristers and Pilot's Love Song.

I've rewatched the entire series like 3 times already and plan to do it again with my roommate

I loved it. I unironically enjoy the off-kilter comedies and series that come out like FLCL. Idk I guess it's reddit cause doesn't have 'Muh moe-shit'. Still hopeful though cause Konosuba.

>Why wasn't Space Dandy more popular on Sup Forums?
It was but the fact Sup Forums liked it as well made everyone on Sup Forums rage

Sup Forums was a mistake.

...

Space Dandy had wild swings in quality. Most people could a find a set of episodes they really loved, while finding other episodes boring or cliche. It wasn't consistently good, but when it was good, it was damn good.

the date episode made me just as sad the second/third times i saw it

Best girl by an absolute mile

...and now you know why I hate FUCKIN' TRAINS!!!

Aired dub first so it was essentially Sup Forums trash

...

It was a comedic show supposed to be funny.

It hardly was.

Not that hard.

This, Toonamifags ruined the discussion back then. I recall season 2 did get more love here than season 1 though, like said. The first few episodes of the series were kinda weak, then it shone with the loli episode.

It made chuckle a few times. I like 'cause it feels very nostalgic for some reason.

Dandy was horrible with dumb American style humor.

Dropped at episode 11, i may go back to it one day.

Any 1080 BR rips of Season 2 yet?

lol boobs so funneh xDDDD

dropped like a rock

>watch the first season while it's still ongoing
>love it
>keep putting off watching the second season
I'll watch it some day.

It's in my top 5 for sure.

I love it.
Maybe I put this show in a more mature range of spectator.
Maybe thats because Sup Forums doesn't talk much about it, and prefer to talk all day about shit shows full of shitposting.

Too many normalfags like it, so if I want the super cool kids on Sup Forums to like me I have to lie about it and talk about the latest seasonal McDonald's quality processed waifu garbage instead.

...

It still spilled on Sup Forums. Every time a new episode aired, fucking crossboarders started dubs vs subs debates or asked stupid questions like "where can I torrent it?".

Is this an example of the actual definition of weeaboo?

I want a new season or a movie very badly.

Sup Forums doesn't talk about good anime or at least AFTER it's popular

Basically. This is what you get when you jam a stick up Ken-sama's asshole. And while I find the gradual normalization of Sup Forums as disheartening as anyone who's been here long enough would, I'd never throw a good anime under the bus as a means to voice my disgust. Not to mention the guy in the screencap is clearly just a giant raging faggot in general.

Have you seen the daily Sup Forums catalog?

95% of thread are generic moe~shit discussing panties and which 10 y/old is the most fuckable.

This board has nothing close to even resembling good taste.
It's a softcore porn board in disguise.

Because Sup Forums has neither sense of humor nor taste or a modicum amount of curiosity when it comes to something that breaks the mold. It's an awful board.

Comedy was hit and miss. Was not endlessly pissing myself laughing, action had no substance or tension. The animation was great, and would leap to experimental at times.

Overall was not a memorable series that left any impact. It was just something to watch once a week. Just another SoL/comedy basically.

It's far too variable and inconsistent to be much of a classic. Which is obviously intentional, given the way it was passed between directors with no continuity beyond some recurring gags.

It really has more in common with something like the Animator Expo, except here everyone used the same cast and setting. The point was really for each director to see what they could do with the idea.

Comparing it to Cowby Bebop is nonsensical.

Too inconsistent but at least Meow is cute.

Sup Forums pls you guys arent any better

What are you talking about? It had threads when ever new episode came.

It was only first few weeks shitposters were in threads but after that they left and threads were good again.

This anime has the best waifu ever.

...

people from r/anime don't actually like either of those shows because they aired before 2006, the year that most users on that subreddit were born.

>mfw people dropped it in the first season and missed how great the second was

i dont even try and get people to watch it anymore, i'm fine with it being a low key masterpiece

because it wasn't fucking funny

>watching Space Dandy for the jokes

this

Space Dandy is a show like no other

fuck that moeshit, weeb pandering, waifu garbage that gets more praise than this.

Why are you all so boring and so repetitive and always keep reposting the same posts over and over again?

People shat on WCW? I only remember Timpopo-chang KAWAII

gotta check the BSs

It was popular during its run.
Hell I remember being on stream during the final episode.

Has bad stigma for being associated with western shit, that's enough for it to get shit on endlessly around these parts.

There was a second season?!

Baby, I...

I thought space dandy was great.Hell I liked better than cowboy bebop. The one where the whole universe turns undead was too good.

I mean 98% of anime get threads when the new episodes come out that's not a great indicator of popularity

Sup Forums really was love

I wasn't a big fan of the first season but I just recently started watching the second season. I've only seen up to episode 18 and I'm loving the show so far. It's been a huge improvement over season 1.

Pic related is by far my favorite episode so far and one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen. Easy 11/10

I loved space dandy. Was probably my favorite anime that year.

10/10 OST

Quite a few 10/10 episodes

>Dandy and Scarlet episode.

My heart.

Literal fucking Cancer

But it was still pretty popular and stream of last episode was blast

I'm simply pointing out threads being made when an episode is out isn't a metric of popularity

Sure

Dat space loli episode

OST still on repeat. Taku Takahashi does it again.

This was the best episode by far

No, this one was. Multiverse is up there though.

>spam

Why that pic for ants, though?

As a comedy it was never actually funny

As an anthology piece it was inconsistent as hell

Overall its okay but newbies tend to oversell it.

No, it was another cour, but Sup Forumsmblr doesn't know what that is.

>newbies tend to oversell it
How would you actually know?

The dub was great

Your taste is subjective. The singing was poor (objectively) in both dubs.

>Space Dandy:the Movie never ever
>Season 3 never ever

I agree, but there wasn't a lot of singing, all things considered.

the elitism in this post.... yikes... no wonder people hate Sup Forums.

Post your face when Space Dandy gets a season 3 in 2030.

>....

>elitism ever being bad
gee its like you want every board to be like Sup Forums and Sup Forums

bump

One day people will recognize it as the 10/10 masterpiece that it is, or so I hope. In actuality its probably too niche to ever get any mass reverence. People who like it seem to have real specific reasons, based on a few key episodes. Not surprising considering that its basically an anthology show.

>elitism ever being good

endless shitposting about NGE is hardly "elite"

>Why wasn't Space Dandy more popular on Sup Forums? it should be considered an instant classic like Cowboy Bebop and FLCL.
because both of its predecessors were far more consistent
those also benefited from having a true over-arching story, this didnt

Oh man, was that bait?

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!!!

Dub or sub?

I felt nothing during the Scarlet episode, partly because of her dub. Other episodes I didn't like were the band ep and the court ep.

The little girl ep and the world without sadness are two of my favorites.

Because it was boring. In particular the first few episodes were really stale, completely devoid of successful jokes.

You can't really rate a show for what it tries to do. You have to rate it on what it actually achieved and the overall viewing experience.

I dunno user, from what you say, it sounds like you rated it as a comedy. Dandy had comedic elements, but to judge as a failure cause it was "devoid of successful jokes" doesn't seem in line with what the show was trying to do.
