I'm probably one of the very few people here who hasn't watched Bebop -though it's in my "Backlog of shame"- and the only distinctive Watanabe show I've watched that I know of is Sakamichi no Apollon which I adored. Dandy looks campy fun and silly and I'll at least try it because the cat alien looks adorable. Not too pumped on the "LOL Look at these boobs, they JIGGLE which is HILARIOUS" so I hope it doesn't take up too much of the actual show.

Yeah the jiggling boobs and butts is something I am not a fan of what can I say. At least they showed it in the preview so I was warned ahead of time.

Other than that I am all for campy fun retro sci-fi, robots, and cat aliens.

Most people are shallow. they can like something just because of the art.

Switch the art to modern and the main character to 15 years girls. You will get alot of complaints.

I cringed at that when I saw it at Otakon and I still cringe. I can see how it fits with the series' motif, but I'd rather not have that. Given how ludicrously on-the-nose the restaurant's name is, I hope that it's meant as at least half-parodical. I'm also trusting that a series with a staff this impressive, including Keiko Nobumoto and Dai Satō as writers, will be able to do let me overlook Boobies or make something more interesting out of it.

This doesn't seem like meaningful assertion.

They would think less of it if it looked like something that they tend not to like. When something has different qualities from other things, then people think something different about it. This is especially true when a work is associated with creators whom they have particular expectations for. The look of an anime tends to strongly code what kind of show it will be. If they coded it differently, it would naturally provoke a different response.

I know it's a trailer, but the animation looks amazing! And with the staff they have working on it, I trust that the writing will be equally impressive, (though I have a sneaking suspicion that the main protagonist will be a carbon copy of Mugen from Samurai Champloo personality-wise).

Watanabe, with no afro is so stale now. He was awesome in Macross Plus and Cowboy Bebop.

Macross Plus has movie quality even in it's OVA form. The animation is superb for an anime, the art is vibrant, the story is complex, the characters are deep, the music is from Yoko Kanno is awesome, just the peak of anime and how all anime should be. Who knows the budget of Macross Plus on a per episode basis? That OVA surpassed even Gundam 0083 in terms of visuals and art. And in terms of story, blows it away, since 0083 is not only the worst Gundam OVA, it is the worst in the UC. Macross Plus is everything Frontier should be. Frontier is like the SEED Destiny of Macross.

Cowboy Bebop was also amazing. The artwork is comparable to another Macross FB7, which is saying a lot, since FB7 looks way better than 7 and looks great, though not as good as Plus, the voice acting in every language is great, the music is great, it's very much like western movies/animation in its noir setting and the overall atmosphere of this show is great.

Samurai Champloo is also great.

This is not great. This is terrible. Why do all anime creators go downhill? What a disgrace. Since Watanabe can somewhat understand and speak English, I'm going to vent my frustration towards him. Hmph!
