I'm hoping this'll be more like Soul Eater, where he actually did quite a bit, but I'm not counting on it. I'm expecting some OP animation, the token ep1 action scene, and some climax action scenes in the endgame. If we're lucky there'll be some big scene he does somewhere in the middle.
That's the yutapon way!

Having just finished re-watching Cowboy Bebop on blu-ray this doesn't seem to come close to matching the quality of the animation. Then again nothing does. I'm guessing the budget on this is a lot smaller.
Not at all. In fact, I can not recall any other time that something like this has happened.

Will it be unedited on Toonami? Awesome to see a dub simulcast.
Noooo, this is a pretty big deal.

Most likely, to be honest though even if it is censored there is no way we'd know that until after both the US and Japanese airings happen (unless it's something obvious like a swear being censored)

Wait the OP says this is on 11:30pm on Toonami. But unless I missed it, it doesn't mention what day of the week.

I haven't watched TV (except for internet streaming on Hulu and the like) in months. Anyway, Saturday. Thanks Bass and Cheesecake.
Ah, I was wondering about that. Cool.

To be fair when I watched toonami back in the day it was monday-friday 5-7 lol
I find funny how the 'VIVA NAMIDA' PV is what made me more excited about what is to come! Because of that I hope people that worked on it like Takeshi Koike also end up showing on the actual series too.

Great way to kick off 2014 anime and a pretty unprecedented(?) step forward for Toonami as a whole with it airing in North America before Japan. This will certainly get me tuning in every week.
A simulcast on this scale is unprecedented. So happy Toonami is back. So hyped for Dandy.

This has more kawaii girls than a lot of anime these days.
Toonami has been performing pretty well after its revival, and seeing it land such a deal like this is pretty excellent.
Honestly, AS reviving Toonami was probably the best thing they've done in years for the program.
Space dandy per air special
Ok that was fucking awful, 10 mins of dumb by the number boob/fanservice talk(I've heard this boobvsbum speech dozen times already this year alone) and fan service shots,those 10mins lasted forever, completely unfunny and unpleasant to watch, I hope the show isn't anything like this if it is, then may god help us all.
Duckroll and Watanabe may have let us down once again.
-entire thing lacked energy, the robot & ferret come off really dull in the japanese version i watched(2/3 of the main cast), that doesn't sound good for the show I already can't imagine how these three cast members are going to carry this show for 24/26 episode when they couldn't do it for 10mins in this special.
+Positive are the character design for dandy and ferret are excellent and the homer Simpson mobile looking space ship is cool it even has motor bike handles.

Cool stuff! This is getting pretty exciting, I hope it turns out to be a good show.

Well, that's not good to hear...
Would like some other impressions though. When has Watanabe let us down before, exactly?

Dammit, I wanted to quote the guy above you, sorry! That's what I get for trying to post with an iPad.
Kids on the Slope was good -- the musical performances are frequently awesome -- but it had severe pacing problems and I personally found the teen drama to be grating for how dense it required the characters to act (even though one could argue this is more realistic).
I hope some of you consider joining us in the ToonamiGAF thread for the premier. Watching Toonami live with GAF is a lot of fun and hilarious and it happens every Saturday night.
Yep, it's fun. Even watching awful shows is somewhat entertaining for reactions alone. New thread though --> http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=743140
I'll post thoughts in here from time to time too.

toonamiGAF is a pretty great place to be where everyone loves, except when it comes to FMA and its incarnations, then wars are started.
There is a whole bunch of writers working on the show. The first episode is written by Watanabe himself. The official twitter for the show also mentioned that Cowboy Bebop alumni Dai Sato and Keiko Nobumoto wrote 4 episodes each, Scifi writer Toh Enjoe is writing 2 episodes, Ichiro Okouchi and Hayashi Mori are writing an episode each, and Crayon Shin-chan writer Kimiko Ueno is scripting the most episodes in the series.

Because I have an absolutely incredible Anime backlog on the horizon I will just set my DVR for this and catch it later. It looks interesting enough, so the space can be used.

No but if this show is as successful as I think it will be I expect it to happen more ib the future.
Impressive.
I would guess it's 11:30 for every timezone. That's usually how it works with Adult Swim / Toonami. Have to keep it late night so it doesn't run over the younger kid cartoons.
That being said, this seems like a pretty big event, so maybe it'll be different for Space Dandy.
Madman is not good at this, second high profile show to have an episode leaked.

it is 10:30 that is correct.
I ain't complaining about the leak.
