Space Dandy's direction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyuuQgQyUlc - 9:28
After taking the time to watch Space Dandy recently, I noticed the series is rather episodic. Most
of the series doesn't make much sense as a whole until the final episode, which the video in this
reflection explains. The video in this reflection also explains how Space Dandy does this with
something called the Dandy Effect, which I understand as Space Dandy's direction.
Space Dandy's direction has to do with several things, starting with the people behind directing the
show. Even though the show has a main director, who has also created other anime before and after
this one with clearer stories (examples of before - Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, which are
mentioned in the video: I talk about these anime on the martial arts blog I contribute to and will
probably be the next ones I focus on with this blog; example of after - Carole and Tuesday, which is
an anime I have reflected on here already), each episode has it's own director. This is one of the
things that gives Space Dandy it's interesting direction.
Another thing that influences Space Dandy's direction is the last episode. As I mentioned before,
Space Dandy as a whole doesn't make much sense until the last episode. The last episode is where all
of the other episodes before it start to make sense. The very end is interesting because it goes back to
how the first episode began, with some differences, which would also make the direction circular, as
well as episodic.
