Wow,that first song at the beginning was dreadfully awful.

The rest of the music afterwords was fantastic and catchy.

Fantastic ass.

Probably the most amusing episode yet.

This episode remind me of Grease,where despite the cheesy music I really like it.So goddamn catchy though.

This might be one of my favorite episodes of the series. I didn't expect it to be this entertaining, and musical filled. It used so many of the high school stereotypes that it was excellent.

Plus those songs were catchy, waaaay too catchy...

I don't know why but I'm finding this season much more interesting than the first one, I guess that's because my brain is retarded because the rhythm and the randomness of the anime are still the same.

btw "chwitter account"? Seems legit.

Sorry guys, but this episode was cringeworthy. Despite the good animation, the songs and the premise were awful, cliche, stereotypical in every sense of the word... it was like you were forced to see your mom and dad kissing each other passionately during 25 minutes.

That was literally High School the Musical: Spandy Dandy Version. Best episode of the entire series.

Meh. I was so hyped the moment Dandy said he would infiltrate the school and romance the ladies there, but then there were barely any jokes at all, the songs weren't funny (didn't even feel like most of them were supposed to be funny) and all the singers besides Dandy and QT sounded like they just wanted to get their paycheck and go home, IMO.

2nd season has like a reverse Star Trek Curse: the even-numbered ones are boring, whereas with the odds so far we have Dandy multiverse and Ping-Pong fish.

"When you get home you need to slap your parents."

I loved the 80's style music though, aside from cringing when hearing the lyrics in English.

Edit: pretty freakin' fluid animation, too.

The animation was pretty amazing, and I'm glad the episode came off more like a performance art piece homage. I loved the fourth wall-breaking pecking order song and the montage. Swirly Glasses was cute as a button. Last week's episode was hard to top, but what I like about this series is that it doesn't have to one-up itself.

5.40, when Dandy entered in the classroom and everyone was smashing their fists and feets making a certain rhythm.

I almost thought We Will Rock You by Queen was going to be played, rotfl.

Anyway, this episode WAS AMAZING. I didn't think Dandy coud really be this good. Leaving out the references, E.T, Elvis Presley ect. I liked how it was astonishing enjoyable with a morale of it own. THIS is the show I was looking for.

Considering that episode 3 was crappy, I think I enjoyed this episode more than I should have! 8.5/10

I can already tell by the preview that the next episode is going to be crappy. The animation looked terrible in the preview, and it looks boringly random. I think it is set in stone that I will only enjoy the even-numbered episodes at this point. I'd rather them release 6 or 7 great episodes instead of 12 or 13 episodes where only half are good.

Not excited for next week's episode... It really is a shame that I only get a good episode every two weeks. That's definitely gonna take a heavy hit on my overall score for the series. (I may lower my score for the first season if the second season ends up being not as good. I gave it extra points because I was expecting this season to end it in an excellent and clever way).

While this was good episode, I am still disappointed that this series is episodic. I never was a fan of episodic series. I want each episode to connect together in some way. I could at least deal with it if all of the episodes were good...

This felt like the animated version of Highschool Musical. It also had a very strong 80's vibe.

Honestly, the last two episodes didn't do too much for me, but based on last week's preview I had a feeling this week's was going to be a lot of fun. And boy, did it surpass my expectations. I've only watched the dub so far(I'll have to watch the sub later on), but Funi did a great job on the musical parts. They've been doing a good job on Space Dandy in general.

Dandy singing about booty was perfect. I wouldn't expecting anything less from him!

The training montage lmao.

Freckles girl was so cute. ;_;

As always, Space Dandy is an endless source of imagination and creativity. Best episode since the 1st.

Surprised everyone is complaining about the music, of course it was bad both in terms of melody as well as lyrcis. It was so cringeworthy in fact, that I was(am) convinced it's just meant as a big jibe at how shallow and replaceable most of (j)pop is.
(All of that referring to the subbed version)


Yes. You totally got it which a lot of people did not. This episode is Watanabe and co making a huge jibe at all the idol and high school based crap out there. Watanabe's shows always have excellent music so it's clarly evident this stuff is meant tongue in cheek.

Once again Dandy pulls a fast one and surprises us. No 2 episodes are ever the same.

The only thing missing was Dandy breaking into 'We Will Rock You' when the rest of the class was banging with hands and legs.

Ass is all indeed. And some nice healthy young cheeks those where.

Got to respect the beauty of the ass! I really got a good laugh out of this episode and some of the songs was genuinely good.

C'mon guys, none of you really thought the music in this was a serious attempt right? With lyrics about the ass and other nonsensical stuff it's clearly meant to be poking fun at musicals. I thought they did a great job with it.

I can't believe after such an episode there are still peoples watching other shit-anime this season.

This episode was incredible! A parody of teen series like High School Musical (much better of course) with a full exploitation of clichés you can find in these. The result is hilarious and very refreshing!
The rythm was perfectly handled and you don't get bored at any moment! It goes crescendo until a glorious musical climax!
Most of all, the animation was really exceptional! I wanna know who animated this, at this level, it wasn't TV serie quality, but movie quality! Especially the final part of the dance party at the end when Dandy and the ginger girl started to sing and dance, it was full of details everywhere and perfectly fluid! I replayed this scene many times since the animation was that incredible! I mean, look at that platinum sakuga!

Go f*ck yourself KyoAni

Don't tell me it was just an okay episode, it was a great episode! If you can't recognize the value of this, then, go back watch your endless eccshit or eroge adaptation that kill japanese animation little by little since there are true original japanese animes here made with talent and creativity just like this one.
Or you can just stop watching anime, it's better for you.

*shakes my head* All the people saying this episode is a parody of high school musical. Ever heard of Grease? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_%28film%29

To me it seems obvious that It's a parody of teen movies and the Grease musicals from the 80's. Does Japan even know about high school musical?

Moving on, I really enjoyed this episode. It was funny and the musicals were entertaining especially Dandy. Also I like how the animation was fluid during the dance scenes. It looked really good. Looks like the next episode is going to be like the one with the fish planet with the wacky animation and Dandy being on some alien planet

Anyone notice the blue boobie at somewhere around 4:15-4:20? Oh and also, how they removed its nipple in the Funi version? :'D
Funi version:

And the HIGHLY NSFW Japanese version:


The jock ET was really creeping me out.

Other than that, my sides are in an another galaxy. Dub is completely fine in my opinion- I watch the show subbed, but decided to check it out; to be honest the only thing that bothers me is that they've changed the beautiful ED by Etsuko Yakushimaru to some random instrumental tune.

Seriously? Wow. How do you do a musical with a manga? Anyway this episode has much more in common with the 80's movies than high school musical. I'm pretty sure HSM is nowhere near popular enough in Japan for them to parody it. And apparently the manga was bad.
