Why Wasn’t Space Dandy the Next Cowboy Bebop?

Ahhh…Space Dandy.
I remember this show.
I also remember the HYPE for it.
I also remember not particularly getting into it.
Didn’t jell with me.

Dandy was no Louie (Rune Soldier) or even a J.P. (Redline)
Galos (Promare) does a better job.
Rufus (Deponia) is GOLD!

My 2 cents. :grin:

Personally, I thought it was trying too hard. Bebop worked because it’s coolness was subtle, the characters were all flawed , they came across as real people to an extent, besides its Science Fiction setting. Plus that Yuuko Kanno Jazz influenced Soundtrack. Dandy had none of this, The Aeon Flux type storytelling (where the characters could end up dead at the end of an episode, but be ok the next) Flat 2 Dimensional characters, no real overall story arc, and the comedy was real hit or miss (mostly miss for me) that, to me pretty much sums up why.

Quite a few, imo, better shows came out in 2014. ( Fate Stay Night: UBW, Your lie in April, Irregular at Magic High School, Cross Ange, and Fruit of Grisaia etc.)
