| Loved this episode, it was so beautiful. |
| When I saw the preview for this episode at the end of episode 7, I was like O__O are we getting a dark Space Dandy episode ??? And yes we did. The land of the dead, who feel nothing at all, and try to occupy their lonely selves by proclaiming they are happy when deep inside they want to truly pass on The ending was either Dandy deciding to stay dead to be together with the girl who was been alone for centuries. Or it was another different Dandy from another dimension coming back to the land of the dead. Seeing him again puts the biggest smile the girls face, as she gets to see more of the man she loves I'm not sure which of the two explanations is the right one but this is a 10/10 episode. Season 1 when Dandy took care of that little girl, and seeing this really makes me glad that I'm watching this show Not only can this show make you laugh your ass off one episode, it can explore dark and deep themes maturely without completely breaking the shows original theme ( which is of course comedy ) Season 2 of Space Dandy is absolutely incredible. <3 |

| Episode on its own was interesting but what really stood out for me in this one was the beautiful art and music. Keep them coming! |
| One thing I don't get is that the girl fell in love with Dandy because he was not dead, but he decides to be dead so he can stay. Wouldn't that sort of beat the point? Is he simply visiting limbo in his sleep? Or does she still love him because he stays Dandy even when dead, and found the solution to the meaning off life by simply not caring about it? Finally, she seems shocked when she hears his pulse on the cablecar. I assumed this was because it was getting weaker, because he was dying (which again goes against what she loves him for), but it might also mean that he isn't dead, which is why she suddenly starts thinking of way to send him back. Then why did she fell in love with him? It would also mean though, that the Dandy that stays is very much alive. So many questions,.. DoctorWasabi said: I'm not sure which of the two explanations is the right one but this is a 10/10 episode. Season 1 when Dandy took care of that little girl, and seeing this really makes me glad that I'm watching this show Think about it, Dandy has always taken care of any girl/woman he has encountered. Ultimately he really is the good guy. By the way, the way she was dressed, how Dandy straightened his tie and wore a suit, and how there were two "witnesses", makes me conclude that he actually marries her. Dandy marries a planet! |

| This is one of the best and weirdest episodes of this show. Must mention that there was a talking bike, a bunch of strange aliens that talk while singing just like a chorus... Ah! And also but not less weird the curious spirit of the Limbo planet fell in love with Dandy |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |
| Wow, this is definitely the best episode of the series so far. I always like the episodes that mostly focus on Dandy. |
| As I thought, this was one hell of a trippy episode. |
| This was a strange episode, very different, sad, but also happy, mysterious it makes you question a lot of aspects of life as we know it. I love these unexpected deep episodes from Dandy's journal, you never know what you're getting, but also, you never complain about what you got. The personification of that gloomy planet could also be a direct contrast to Earth-chan, only a lot sadder and down, however, she remains beautiful in every other aspect. It's sad how QT and Mew never bothered to check up on Dandy in case something bad happened to him, turned out it was the worst thing somebody could expect, I wonder how long it took them till they realize what was up. |
| Dandy looking good with his hair down. Did he chose to stay with the planet girl at the end ? |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| That's more like it. I like my Dandy really weird and this was dark, melancholic, gorgeous and well....weird. |
| {disclaimer: this is my first forum post and i dont usually do these things because i get too shy to but this episode had all my love and i couldnt just move on with my life and not talk about it !! so sorry in advance if my wording is weird or if i dont make sense somewhere, im trying my best!!} this episode is so beautifully written and visualized. im crying as i write this, i had to watch the whole episode three more times because of how entranced i was.. im gunna go off on a tangent with the whole meaning of this episode because why not: limbo is a planet that consists of souls with no prior reason or importance on whether they either go down or up--hell or heaven. the definition of limbo is a "place or state of oblivion to which a person of thing are regarded as castaways or forgotten", and so somehow dandy belonged to this place. the flashback (is what i assume it is) towards the end (22:00) proves that he's been in limbo before--which is no surprise to us because dandy dies literally almost every episode. when dandy met ferdinand and the girl with the guitar the first thing he said was, "you're--" before getting interrupted. meaning he somehow knew them. however the crazy thing about this is that somehow when dandy dies his soul transfers straight to limbo. in roman catholic theology, dandy is sent to a place that's on the borderline of heaven and hell, where souls aren't condemned to punishment but also do not serve the pure goodness of what it takes to be in an eternal happiness (with God). it's a world with no sadness yet also no joy. anyways it's even crazier that limbo-chan sacrifices herself for dandy to get another chance at life. the scene i was talking about earlier that i said was a flashback was because in that scene we see limbo-chan wearing the same outfit she was wearing when she was talking about how her world came to be in 19:05. she was wearing that same seashell necklace that dandy is now wearing, so somehow one of his many versions of himself came to limbo and spent his time there and was given the necklace from limbo-chan. i dont seem to know the bigger story but thats what i got out of this episode. what gets me crying everytime is the fact that there was a time where limbo and dandy were happy together and im a real sucker for entities or godly figures falling for the most aloof character ever. it reminded me of ban and elaine from 7DS or chiyuki and decim from death parade. its just so sentimental and heartbreaking to see love pursued but never grasped. edit: i forgot to mention that limbo is the place where the souls of babies who werent baptized and souls of people who died before their time go when they perish. kinda makes sense that we get to understand why limbo told him it wasnt his time yet and sent him back. really sweet |

| This episode reminds me a lot to Tenshi no Tamago |

| Dandy chose to stay dead Love |
I like to imagine that the whole Cowboy Bebop is a dream and that Spike died right here, as depicted, in a shootout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQXtsFFgr3w in episode 1 intro |
| Second trippy episode in this season, and I absolutely LOVED it By far my favourite episode in the entire series, this surreal atmosphere and the dark, desperate and a bit crazy overall theme was a feast for my brain, the psycheledic vibes were strong with this episode |
The episode summed up - though the episode was beautiful and somewhat deep , gotta agree with the OP the choice of OSTs were great , I have to look it up later but does anyone know the name of the OST playing at the ending during the compilation of the concept art ? The concept art at the end were great too , idk why but this episode kind of makes me feel sad |
| Great episode, animation wise and story wise. I liked that they acknowledged the alternate dimensions theory, which is probably why Dandy is still around, even though he's been in several situations where he should be dead. I also like the theory that someone posted in this thread about this not being Dandy and Limbo's first meeting. Personally, I think Dandy chose not to go to another dimension and came back to keep Limbo company. |
| I love this episode, it feels like a random story you took from a random dream that you're unable to tell after you woke up... and Dandy's "sleeping" position in the end of the episode was just... Dandy being Dandy xD |

| dandy died this time and he choose to stay dead to be with the girl |
| Weird chapter, this felt like a dream but na too much tenshi no tamago for a space dandy episode, i don't say that this episode was bad, on the contrary, i liked it, the music was great, super strange and atmospheric, also the viking reference of dandy in a boat through the river was clever well putted to show that dandy is in a ghost world |
| BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH |
| Very weird episode but i like it. Planet girl was cute. |
 |
| That was sooooo beautiful. Everything about the ep was perfect, the music, the art, the story between dandy and the planet girl. Also answers lots of questions. Dandy choosing to stay behind with the girl was soooo beautiful. Definitely one of the best eps i've ever seen. |
| This episode was one of my favorites. It’s much calmer than others and has a more serious tone, exploring themes like death. At one point, a character says, 'Have you ever felt like you couldn’t tell the difference between being alive and being dead?' |
