Its perfectly balanced, some episodes are goofy fun like chameleonian or high school episodes that you would except by looking at the show from the outside perspective just to hit you with some sad philosophical shit Like this or pavane of a dead princess that makes you cry the next episode
The series is happening in 0014 in the Space Century, a reference to the Universal Century in Gundam which in turn is supposed to be during our own universe.
Makes me bawl knowing that the real Laika was done so wrong. But this episode almost makes it seem like she had some kind of life and that makes me happy. I’d like to think her spirit is with the stars
@@kagomefan112 He did say prefer, not that the dubs are bad. I think subs are dandy, but growing up as a dub-watcher I always go to the Dub as long as it's not outright bad or dull. It's simply a preference.
As a person with an older dog (15!) This hits REALLY close to home... Update: Sophie had to be put down due to everything she had hitting her in the span of 2 days...this moment in the series means more to me now than ever...
eb-the-gamer-- I'm so very sorry for your deep & painful losses. 💔 I, too, know the pain of losing beloved, faithful friends & companions. It leaves a hole in our hearts, a grief, which, thankfully, lessens with time, but never fully goes away. I know that your dear pup will be waiting for you, with great excitement, when you, too, someday-- --step off into Eternity, & find your footing, on that Rainbow Bridge, & walk into the Next Life. Great shall be the Joy of your Reunion. 💗 God bless & hold your precious pups, until then. And, may God give you comfort, healing, strength, support, Light, Love, Hope, & ever-increasing Peace.❤
I love how even in such a sad moment dandy stays in character. The fact that they didn't go with cheap melodrama made this scene hit way harder. This show is truly genius
Folks if you have a non-human friend that you care for. Be as good to them as much as they love you. We, humans, are blessed to have companions as good as them. They may live shorter livers but they make our's worth living,
this episode made me cry, never has a TV show/ Anime/ Film had this effect on me. for those wondering: song at 1:50 is: I Should Be... Song at 3:12 is: Space Chetney
Edit 3:12 is Space Chantey.... with an A. not a big deal but it threw off my search a little bit. Here is a link for anyone else in need. Thanks for the help John! th-cam.com/video/GFV-ljFSHGM/w-d-xo.html
This episode is ...ughh why? When the promos came up my stupid five-year-old's brain was thinking, "OMG Doggy! Maybe she'll be a new crew member and heartwarming will be our flavor of feels!" NOPE.
@Huables 76 Yeah, it does. It's been over years since my previous dog died. She had a stroke on a Sunday afternoon, and died the next morning as my dad was getting ready to take her to the vet. She died while on her favorite spot in my mom and dad's bedroom. I like to think that was how she wanted to go, surrounded by her human family as she left this world. I hope she was waiting for my mom some nine years later when Mom crossed over.
@Huables 76 I'm sorry for yours too. Even though we know death is part of life, it still sucks not to have the people and animals we love in the here and now. My mom really missed that dog, and I'm sure a bunnylike tail was wagging when a certain creamy colored Standard Poodle saw her human mom coming to the Pearly Gates.
I remember watching this on my Portable DVD Player,when we went camping for 4 days (we just came back today), and I watched this episode. When Meow started crying and when he said "I wanted to play with her too, and now its too late!!", my feels began to take over and tears literally poured out of my eyes. DAMN YOU FEELS!
TLDR; I used to have a drug problem, and the only person who was always there was my pup. No matter how much I and everyone else was disappointed in me, she always wagged her tail and snuggled with me when I was having withdrawals and mental episodes. To me she literally was an angel that held me together. We lost her to cancer a few years ago and it was no different to me than losing a human family member. After she passed, I was lucky enough to experience some VERY lucid dreams with her (I’ve literally never had those before or since). And just cried, hugged her, rubbed her belly a few last times, and was at complete peace. I feel like she was too. I really hope I see her again somewhere 🐶
Meow's breakdown makes me cry everytime, my sisters once had a dog named Oreo, I found him annoying at first cuz he would always bark but i eventually got used to it, and when i started getting attached Oreo got ran over while on a walk.. i wasn't expecting this scene to hit me so hard Meow's Breakdown just reminds me how i felt when Oreo died. R.I.P Pup and Oreo
Either he's tsudere, or he saw how happy Dandy was with her and knew she was already on the verge of death, so he pretended not to be interested so Dandy could spend time with her until she finally died.
@@LokiToxtrocityWell come to think of it, there’s WAS that one short scene where it seemed Meow understood Laika, when he said she was complimenting his hat. So I guess it showed he must’ve been starting to like her.
This is the most memorable episode of Space Dandy imo, watched the series four or five years ago and although I’ve forgotten most of it this one has always stuck with me
OH MAN! I can't believe I cried there, thanks to all the Space Dandy crew who know how to make a great anime. REST IN PEACE PUP!!! X'o THere should me more seasons to Space Dandy!!!
Dude I watched this with my wife and we kind of put it together what was happening and when new started crying she was tearing up. And I thought, not me though, I can handle this kind of stuff. But when the narrator's voice got shaky, I broke down harder than she did lol when I tell you I WAILED like a little kid, man it was a rough night.
My black labrador passed away earlier this year, shortly before my birthday. Watching this scene always punches me in the gut now, but it's good to get those feelings out. I'm so sorry, Ben.
Nah this is just a tribute to the first dog sent into space by the user. In reality she was lost when her cabin overheated after her 4th of what would come to be 2,570 orbits of the earth. Alot of space shows will have a tribute of a dog that looks like her lost somewhere on a distant planet. I suppose we like to imagine that the dog had a chance to know how much it was loved by the world even after her death.
That dog should not have gone to space. At all. I read about it, for a whole night. And was depressed by it. I can't even IMAGINE what her thoughts were. Alone, nothing but black, and...not even sure what she was doing up there. Not another dog, not another person, just, nothing. Russia...just, stupid.
@@thejanusproject32 Laika had anxieties several times when she was launched with her heart beating to 240 per/min. Some time later, her heart was regulating but all that time she was stressed out. She later did calm down and ate but showed signs of agitation. Because of faulty systems, the temperature within the cabin reached 104 and she died from it. It took 5 months for the shuttle to return but it disintegrated, along with her remains. It's really sad and awful.
This whole episode screams to me, "hey lets write a sad episode about Dandy finding a dog", so they wrote it. The flea brothers, and the scrap planet itself just felt like they were shoehorned in as a B plot to fill out the episode. In my mind, this whole episode couldve just the 9 minute plot about Dandy finding a dog, playing with it, and then the dog dying... ....Because that was the only part that made me feel, and cry like a baby ;-;
In peace, may you leave this shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.
I wanted this episode to remember my cat by. Now the stories I made will always remind me of my mom and cat because I dedicated them to God and my family. Don't take time for granted with your loved ones, tomorrow is never promised.
ya know....this video was still impactful even though if you look into sputnik 2 not all the heat shielding was on it so the dog basically died shortly on launch which is whole other can of worms i wont open. god i love space dandy
Even the narrator starts crying, that's badass.
Even God is sad
Michael Hedrick nice
Indeed. You are also the narrator
"Watch Space Dandy!" They said!!
"It's hilarious!" They said
Goddammit this episode made me cry like a baby!!!
it's not the only one.....
ALL THE FEELS!
Right in the feels
Space Dandy is irreverent, playful, insightful, and an overall absolute joy
Its perfectly balanced, some episodes are goofy fun like chameleonian or high school episodes that you would except by looking at the show from the outside perspective just to hit you with some sad philosophical shit Like this or pavane of a dead princess that makes you cry the next episode
I love the use of historical references in this episode.
see you later space cowboy
It breaks my heart thinking that real Laika died alone and afraid.
At least here she isn't
The series is happening in 0014 in the Space Century, a reference to the Universal Century in Gundam which in turn is supposed to be during our own universe.
Makes me bawl knowing that the real Laika was done so wrong. But this episode almost makes it seem like she had some kind of life and that makes me happy. I’d like to think her spirit is with the stars
🥺
I typically prefer subbed over dubbed, but the dub for Space Dandy is done extraordinarily well :)
I agree to some extent. I think that both dub and sub versions did well.
equal in my eyes
Fun fact this was made in dubbed first
If you actually gave some dub chance there’s some really really good ones. Not every anime is bad in English.
@@kagomefan112 He did say prefer, not that the dubs are bad. I think subs are dandy, but growing up as a dub-watcher I always go to the Dub as long as it's not outright bad or dull. It's simply a preference.

Laika: Was I a good girl?
God: No... you were the best.
This episode really caught me off guard, I never thought Space Dandy would me make feel legitimately sad.
and people said this show wouldn't have feels
how cares if it dosen't have feels not all people want sad things this is amazing even without them glad that they ate coming with a second sesson
This anime seriously mastered characterization, it can make you cry over a dog that only existed for half an episode
It helps that Laika actually existed
You've got a really good point, they do execute characterization well, and this IS only half the episode. Love this show for so many reasons
You know this episode was written by Keiko Nobumoto the creator of Wolf's Rain? It explains a lot. You know, sad, somber, dogs...
Pa-Paradise
Jaggemonkey Really??? So cool and so sad. T^T
Mind blown
Bro I didn’t know everyone knew about wolfs rain that anime was amazong😊
Only god knows how much i cried in the last episodes of wolfs rain
As a person with an older dog (15!) This hits REALLY close to home...
Update: Sophie had to be put down due to everything she had hitting her in the span of 2 days...this moment in the series means more to me now than ever...
bruh my dog is even named laika
Late in asking but how you been faring since then?
I still get emotional moments when I remember my pups
@@OCMOOO better...I still think of her and our other dogs fondly...
@@eb-the-gamer6287 If your girl lived to 15, they must be living very good lives
So well done!
eb-the-gamer--
I'm so very sorry for your deep & painful losses. 💔
I, too, know the pain of losing beloved, faithful friends & companions.
It leaves a hole in our hearts,
a grief,
which,
thankfully,
lessens with time,
but never fully goes away.
I know that your dear pup will be waiting for you,
with great excitement,
when you, too,
someday--
--step off into Eternity,
& find your footing,
on that Rainbow Bridge,
& walk into the Next Life.
Great shall be the Joy of your Reunion. 💗
God bless & hold your precious pups, until then.
And, may God give you comfort, healing, strength, support, Light, Love, Hope, & ever-increasing Peace.❤
This Moments are the reason why i love this show even after all this years.
Space Dandy at heart was such genuine good Person.
Damn even the narrator got feels
This episode did get me hooked though
DON'T CRY LIKE A BABY
I love how even in such a sad moment dandy stays in character. The fact that they didn't go with cheap melodrama made this scene hit way harder. This show is truly genius

Cuddle your pups tonight.
I think I will
always
3:11 is such an amazing frame right there. O.O really awesome…
It Makes for an awesome wallpaper.
See you space pup.
When you have a dog as a pet, this hits you hard...
@Huables 76 I've lost good girls too... My current dog is 13 years and 8 months old. She's a big dog and I know her time is coming...
@Huables 76 Yeah, it does. It's been over years since my previous dog died. She had a stroke on a Sunday afternoon, and died the next morning as my dad was getting ready to take her to the vet.

Yep, jojo

it's been years, but this scene still makes me sad
When I started this show I DID NOT think I would in a million years get this level of FEELS.
Space Dandy is so underappreciated. What a beautiful scene.
TLDR; I used to have a drug problem, and the only person who was always there was my pup. No matter how much I and everyone else was disappointed in me, she always wagged her tail and snuggled with me when I was having withdrawals and mental episodes.

We will see them again my friend
Good pup. God rest her soul.
Only Space Dandy would give us a new adorable dog character then kill it ten minutes later :'(
When even the narrarator's voice is breaking up you know it's time to cry ;_;
Just lost my pup this morning and this scene is just hits so well with showing how important Dogs really are in our lives.
When that narrator voice starting cracking I lost it... Fuck man. Why did they end this show...
Because it was beautiful and was plucked at its peak of beauty
better to end at its peak than to be dragged on into mediocrity
Meow's breakdown makes me cry everytime,
my sisters once had a dog named Oreo, I found him annoying at first cuz he would always bark but i eventually got used to it, and when i started getting attached Oreo got ran over while on a walk..
i wasn't expecting this scene to hit me so hard
Meow's Breakdown just reminds me how i felt when Oreo died.
R.I.P Pup and Oreo
This,was the saddest scene in the whole Anime and i cried manly tears.
And in the End,Pup once more flew up into the endless universe. ;_;
Isn’t it ironic that Meow’s the one crying the most for the dog when he clearly didn’t want anything to do with her?
He was what is called tsundere
Pretty much
Either he's tsudere, or he saw how happy Dandy was with her and knew she was already on the verge of death, so he pretended not to be interested so Dandy could spend time with her until she finally died.
Sometimes the ones that show they don't care, are the ones that do.
@@LokiToxtrocityWell come to think of it, there’s WAS that one short scene where it seemed Meow understood Laika, when he said she was complimenting his hat. So I guess it showed he must’ve been starting to like her.
This scene hit too close to home. I’m fighting to hold it back.
R.I.P., P.U.P./Laika. 💗
I dont watch this anime but this scene made me sad.
This is the most memorable episode of Space Dandy imo, watched the series four or five years ago and although I’ve forgotten most of it this one has always stuck with me
And would you look at that I'm crying now........ damn you space dandy making me laugh uncontrollably then roundhouse kicking me in the gut with feels
Man, even god is sad
I'll forever be a fan. this is the only show I existence I know of to pay tribute to Laika the forgotten hero of space TT
That shot at 3:10 sells it.
OH MAN! I can't believe I cried there, thanks to all the Space Dandy crew who know how to make a great anime.
REST IN PEACE PUP!!! X'o
THere should me more seasons to Space Dandy!!!
Something about a dog, a living embodyment of angels, lost in space all alone. Thinking they did something wrong. Its just soul crushing.
Hug a dog
Gonna be honest I felt worse for the dog than I did for Nagisa.
gr8 b8 m8
***** thx m8
True
who?
@@erickflores458The main character of Assassination Classroom
This really made me tear up thanks for this episode long live Laika in least we know that she's up there shining with the rest of the stars.
I've cried so many times watching this episode.
This clip made me want to hug the living crap out of Meow.
Wtf! I missed this episode! Looks freaking awesome! As always. .. its dandy baby.
See you, Space Pup
This is the only episode of any show I have ever watched that consistently makes my cry
This episode and the one where dandy dies are always gonna hit me in the feels.
Dude I watched this with my wife and we kind of put it together what was happening and when new started crying she was tearing up. And I thought, not me though, I can handle this kind of stuff. But when the narrator's voice got shaky, I broke down harder than she did lol when I tell you I WAILED like a little kid, man it was a rough night.
Wow, this dub is actually pretty good.
This episode really caught me off guard. I still shed a tear whenever I come back to it
I never realized you knew how to make a rocket!
"Well, that's because technically, I don't."
[builds functional rocket anyway]
"Thanks for playing with me, I'm pretty sure this isn't your fault."
Holy fucking shit just rip my soul right out of my body why don't you?
See you space dog...
Dandy he is a great heart
My black labrador passed away earlier this year, shortly before my birthday. Watching this scene always punches me in the gut now, but it's good to get those feelings out. I'm so sorry, Ben.
Really gettin tired of youtube with this copyright shit
I'm guessing Shinchiro Watanabe saw "Jurassic Bark" (Futurama) and thusly was inspired to make this episode.
Nah this is just a tribute to the first dog sent into space by the user. In reality she was lost when her cabin overheated after her 4th of what would come to be 2,570 orbits of the earth.

I will wait for you🎵

Good thing Sarah McLachlan isn't there with eyes of the angels song playing, talking about saving an animals life or i would die of the feels
Even the narrator wells up...
Still a better sendoff than Seymour from Futurama got.

For a thousand summers I will wait for you🎵
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you🎵
Love you pup. Love you.
*wipes eyes* I'm not crying! It's...I-It's...WAAAAAAA!!!!!! Lakia!
Sunday, 8pm, sitting alone at my flat and crying my heart out for Laika.
Jurassic Bark's painfully similar anime cousin. Seymour and Laika are lethal when viewed back to back.
Truly the best and saddest moment in all of space dandy.

I love meow
Meow's Awsome!
Go read about the real Laika! So sad, They made a monument to her.
That dog should not have gone to space. At all.

I love how Space Dandy is so inspiring with words. And makes it funny xD. He's awesome.
This episode was legit sad. ;-;
God I love this show so much
Laika, we still wish you could come home :(
They made comedy and sadness work very well.
This whole episode screams to me, "hey lets write a sad episode about Dandy finding a dog", so they wrote it.
The flea brothers, and the scrap planet itself just felt like they were shoehorned in as a B plot to fill out the episode.

....Because that was the only part that made me feel, and cry like a baby ;-;
I hated that this was in the beginning of the episode. Tears in the first 10 minutes
2:46 The most anime-y face I have ever seen
Not gonna lie this episode had me crying for days
R.I.P Precious Upside-down Coconut Pie, your memory lives on in us.
I watched the entirety of Space Dandy in one sitting. On acid. I laughed. I cried (more than once). It’s now my favorite anime.
In peace, may you leave this shore.
In love, may you find the next.
Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground.
May we meet again.
This show was just great!
I've seen all the episodes of space dandy so far released, including this one, and i'd say this one was the saddest.
Well, "Viva Namida" !
Press 'F' to pay respects
Sad scene. R.I.P. PUP :(
This still get me 😭
This makes me cry every time.
I wanted this episode to remember my cat by. Now the stories I made will always remind me of my mom and cat because I dedicated them to God and my family.
Don't take time for granted with your loved ones, tomorrow is never promised.
Damn man, why they gotta drop a bomb on us like that 😭
Ths scene made me cry a bit when I was young not gonna lie. lol
this is even harder since thinking about how that poor dog died alone in real life damn the tears are back!!
I read somewhere she died 4-7 hours into her flight due to stress and severe overheating. poor puppy :(
LAIKA... T_T
Right in the feels...
ya know....this video was still impactful even though if you look into sputnik 2 not all the heat shielding was on it so the dog basically died shortly on launch which is whole other can of worms i wont open. god i love space dandy
