Catch space adventurer, Dandy, on Space Dandy as he travels across galaxies in search of aliens that no one has ever laid eyes on. Each new species that Dandy discovers earns him a hefty reward. However, he has to find new aliens faster than anyone else because the sought-after prize is on a first come, first served basis.
Without a care for the little things in life and looking for his dream out there, the character of Dandy is brought to life by consummate voice actor Junichi Suwabe (Full metal Alchemist, Bleach) who has lent his voice to hundreds of anime and video game productions.
Dandy is in the company of the rundown vacuum cleaner of a robot named QT, who is voiced by Uki Satake, model and member of Japanese idol girl group, 9nine; along with the dim-witted cat-like alien, Meow, played by voice actor Hiroyuki Yoshino (Mobile Suit Gundam 00).
Accompanied by his sidekicks, Dandy bravely explores unknown worlds in search of undiscovered inhabitants of unimaginable shape and form. The best groomed alien hunter of all space and time is set for an adventure to the edge of the universe!
Hailing from the creative team behind the critically acclaimed classic anime hit Cowboy Bebop, production of Space Dandy is led by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo), including director Shingo Natsume (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos), with screenplay by Kimiko Ueno (Crayon Shin-chan movie), Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop, Eureka Seven) and Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop, Wolf’s Rain).
Character design is by Yoshiyuki Ito (Star Driver) while the spacecrafts are designed by Thomas Romain (Basquash!), and animation production is undertaken by Tokyo-based anime studio, Bones (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Soul Eater, Eureka Seven AO). Performing the series’ upbeat disco-like theme song ‘Viva Namida’, singer Yasuyuki Okamura (City Hunter 2) was also drawn into a fully animated teaser music video, singing and grooving to the beat with the characters of Space Dandy.
Catch Space Dandy until March 30, 2014 at 10 PM on Sundays, first and exclusively, on Animax.
Join Dandy and his companions on their adventures in space as they search for the strangest sights and conquer out-of-this world missions.
