CitationHey everybody! Just wanted to drop you all a line and announce a couple pieces of Toonami news.

First, we are proud to announce that Toonami will be WORLD PREMIERING the new series from Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) and Studio BONES (FMA, Soul Eater, many more), SPACE DANDY! SPACE DANDY is a 26 episode series that will be premiering in the U.S. BEFORE it premieres in Japan (yep, you read that right)! Details on that to follow soon.

Oh, and when will it premiere? Sooner than you think- January 4th, at 11:30 PM.

"Did I just read 11:30?"

Yep, you read that right. Space Dandy will kick off an expanded 6-1/2 HOUR TOONAMI broadcast every Saturday. Toonami Faithful, we got our extra half hour!

Oh, you're STILL not satisfied? Fine. We have some other great news that will be coming in the next few weeks, but until then we'll drop one more little tidbit: In December, Toonami will take a break from our regular schedule and have a bit of holiday fun, with three weeks in a row of a movie special to kick off the block! What movies, you ask? Well, you'll have to wait a bit on that.

Finally- if you have more questions about all this, GOOD- ask them here! We'll be doing our monthly Toonami Q&A this Sunday from 11am et, to whenever we hit the tumblr post limit! Remember, your question could end up on our monthly on-air Tumblr Q&A session with Tom and Sara.

WHEW- okay. Keep your eyes locked right here over the next few weeks for more details on all of this, as well as some other VERY exciting developments we can't talk about yet. And in the mean time, do make sure you check us out on November 2nd, when we'll be airing some fun little surprises in the daylight savings hour (2am)!

WE WILL NEVER STOP

Love, the Toonami Crew.

Avant première aux US... WAT ?

Un dandy au look d'Elvis dans l'espace...ils veulent faire plaisir aux ricains, je sais pas, c'est vrai que c'est spécial comme décision.

Mais le plus triste c'est que les premier épisodes dispo seront en anglais...faudra attendre pour avoir le jap.

Ce qui est le plus triste c'est la date de juillet...c'est loiiiiiiin

Son style ça a toujours été un mélange d'occident et de classicisme japonais. Bebop c'est du western space opera jazzy/bluesy complètement baigné dans la culture américaine, Samurai champloo va jusqu'à intégrer du hip-hop, Sakamichi no Apollon met en avant le jazz et parle des Beatles. Sa collaboration avec les frères (et soeur) Wachowski va dans le même sens avec des personnages typés occidentaux.

Interview super intéressante de Masahiko Minami :

CitationI wanted to talk a bit about Space Dandy, since it debuted at Otakon to a lot of positive press and anticipation. I think people are excited since many of the staff were involved with Cowboy Bebop . How did Space Dandy come to be, and why do you think it's a good time to create a show like this.

Well, first, we should probably emphasize that there isn't a connection between Space Dandy and Cowboy Bebop – we just have a lot of the same staff working on the new show. We've actually been wanting to collaborate again with (director) Watanabe for quite some time, since the last time we worked with him was for the Cowboy Bebop movie . We were talking about attempting something new, and since the way animation itself is produced has changed since Bebop hit the scene, we wanted to try to see if we could create something new and fresh again. That's why this is the right time.

It seems like the sort of productions getting made have shifted since the late 90s, as well. There seems to be more of an emphasis on moe characters and shows designed to sell merchandise specifically to a captive otaku audience. Space Dandy doesn't look or feel like any of these shows, its "hook" is very different. Do you worry that you might not capture enough interest from hardcore fans?

Yes, there is most certainly a lot of moe, audience-fulfillment-based shows out there. I think of those as sort of "reaction" kinds of anime... but BONES has never really been a moe-driven production company. Our staff has worked on stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne – shows that are very popular worldwide to this day - so I think that our work stands out, blazing new creative trails. We want Space Dandy to reach as wide an international audience as possible.

Space Dandy's mechanical designer, Thomas Romain , is from France. How did your collaboration with him come about?

Romain has actually been in Japan for a while, working for the anime studio Satelight . I've known him for about seven, maybe eight years? But he's been getting a lot of attention for hismecha and scenery designs. He's also a huge fan of Cowboy Bebop, and since I learned that, General Director Shinichiro Watanabe wanted to collaborate. It was difficult for a while, since he was working for another studio, but that's how we eventually brought him onto the team.

[..]

I hope you look forward to Space Dandy, the universe's stupidest [baka] anime! We've taken one great hardships to ensure this is the universe's stupidest anime. It will definitely be something to look forward, enjoy, and laugh at.

J'ai pris le passage qui concerne l'anime en question mais il parle aussi du changement de consommation des anime, l'avenir de BONES et de l'industrie de l'animation japonaise...

Space dandy à 16:30 sur wakanim cet aprèm !

ROOHH PUTAIN !!!!!  :leuv2: :leuv: :leuv: :leuv: :leuv:

Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer comment marche Wakanim ? En cherchant après le premier épisode hier je suis tombé sur le site, mais absolument pas compris s'il s'agissait d'un abonnement mensuel, d'un achat par épisode (j'ai vaguement vu 0.79€/épisode), ou encore si c'était gratuit.

Un épisode est gratuit quelques jours après sa mise en ligne (je crois que c'est 15 jours). Ensuite c'est de la VOD, tu paies à l'épisode (mais une version HD cette fois). Si tu veux suivre une série il faut donc que tu la mates pendant sa diffusion, sinon faut passer à la caisse.

Quand tu payes pas c'est pas en HD?

Me semblait que si vu qu'on a le choix en haut à droite du lecteur.

C'est parti !!!
1^er épisode !  :leuv2: :leuv2: :leuv:
