Yes, they are indeed.

And might I add for those who don't already know, yes, that is in fact Ian Sinclair (the English voice actor for Dandy) starring as his own character in the commercials. Anime catgrin

Is this the first time ever a Japanese ad uses the English dub?

Apologies in advance for my case of pinching pennies(nitpicking), but...

If you go by the current (today's) listing of ¥ 14,385 (¥ 14,519 w/ AmzGlobal Priority Shipping) it's about $121.00 USD.

If you pre-ordered before this article it was even a little lower than that (and even then this amount is subject to a possible reduction by Jan 29th).

Same here.

I've found that it's easy enough to use ANN's encyclopedia for DVD, Blu-ray, Books, Artbooks, and Manga links but there are a lot less when it comes to the music OP/EDs & Soundtracks.

Here are a few for Space Dandy. I'm sure these are available elsewhere, so if you shop around you might even find a better deal.

Samples are available to listen to for these:
スペース☆ダンディ OST2 Soundtrack(Space ☆ Dandy OST2 Soundtrack)

ビバナミダ(スペース☆ダンディ盤)(DVD付) Single, CD+DVD(Bibanamida (space ☆ Dandy Edition) (with DVD) Single, CD + DVD)

X次元へようこそ/絶対ムッシュ制 Single, Maxi(Welcome to the X dimension / absolute Monsieur system Single, Maxi)



TVアニメーション「スペース☆ダンディ」O.S.T.1 ベストヒット BBP(TV animation "Space ☆ Dandy" OST1 best hit BBP)

Here's the MP3 link for the one above^

It's definitely interesting to see an american ad be used in Japan for an anime. Space Dandy is weird like that.

These are pretty old. They were made by Funimation to promote the special edition Space Dandy packages.

This very well could the first time a Japanese commercial is advertising something from an English anime dub.
