Why is the artwork so similar to Cowboy Bebop?
Because they're both directed by the same guy (Shinichirō Watanabe), written by the same guy (Dai Satō), and produced by the same studio (MAPPA).
For real? Fuck yes, can't wait now
Woow, I'm really excited to see it right now!!
The director also did cowboy bebop and samurai champloo
Ppl always forget to mention the goat space dandy
I mentioned the ones i'd seen, but when i looked up the director to doublecheck i spent a long time reading the summary of space dandy like "should i finally watch this one...???"
It's very silly ( that's a good thing), you should watch it
It's my favorite of his, watanabe can drop an anime space hooters and somehow make it not weird, any other anime it'd be sus, felt weirdly realistic here, all of the characters do, down to the robot. Like it makes it more immersive that this space loner works purely to spend his paycheck at a sports bar.
Also one of the few anime ppl that came over to my house in college enjoyed, regardless of gender, it's especially great on psychedelics.
I thought about watching it years ago, but never got around to it. Maybe now is the time, since I could use something silly to watch
Shinichiro Watanabe directed both.
