Alrighty then let's continue.
85. Battle Angel Alita
It's one of the few anime chosen for live action for better or for worst but all things considered Battle Angel Alita works as a cyberpunk anime.
84. Sorcerer Hunters
Not many scenarios where you hunt sorcerers in a fantasy setting, but what I like is that it's unapologetic about it's dominatrix theme especially from such unassuming characters.
83. Wolf Children
One of only two films on this list which is a big deal considering I've shunned Studio Ghibli's library. An emotional rollercoaster ride as a single mother attempts to raise half wolf children.
82. Strike Witches
Part of a growing trend of girls as things, this time aircraft, but what really makes this series come alive is the fact that all the witches are homages to ace World War II pilots and making them work together just makes the show all the more beautiful.
81. Space Dandy
It's simple, guy hunts aliens to record their existence in exchange for cash to pay for meals at space hooters. The hard part, anything can happen and there's an episode for everyone to enjoy.
Those who regularly read my reviews can usually tell if I'm preparing a big review as the hiatus is usually long and today is no exception as I review Space Dandy.
The opening narration does a better job of explaining the plot so I'll post that instead.
Space Dandy: he's a dandy guy in space. He combs the galaxy like his pompadour on the hunt for aliens. Planet after planet he searches, discovering bizarre new creatures both friendly and not. These are the spectacular adventures of Space Dandy and his brave space crew, in space.
Yeah he's actually called Space Dandy, together with a vacuum cleaner robot named QT and a Bettlejuician named Meow (Or a space cat if you prefer) the crew of the Aloha Oe try and make a bit of money out of registering rare aliens so they can enjoy an easy life by going to the unsuitably named Boobies bar and restaurant chain which is basically a fictional space version of the real life equivalent Hooters. For those who don't know it's a chain of bars and restaurants where all the waitresses are rather well endowed and Boobies is just a simple goal for the suave Space Dandy. As for the actual alien hunting well, it's a little difficult to review, there's no such thing as a typical episode, every episode is unpredictable, you don't know if you've been dropped into a comedy, drama or down right depressing and thought provoking thriller and depending on your tastes, some episodes come off better than others but you're almost guaranteed to find at least one episode you'll love and at least one episode you'll hate.
The endless possibilities of Space Dandy can keep this series going for ages and you'll never feel out of place in any episode, you can watch this show in a random order and the only episode that will matter is the first episode as it introduces Meow, the other episodes can be seen at any time in any order, even the final episode, the universal law in this anime allows it. I hope there are more seasons because there's so much more Space Dandy can do.
The dub is good and suits the show better than the Japanese audio.
Final Verdict: It's unpredictability makes every type of anime fan welcome even if they're not interested in the show itself, it has the setup to do anything it wants and runs with it, making it an unforgettable ride. Definitely worth the watch and I hope more is made.
