Anime matchup of Q1 2014: Samurai Flamenco vs Space Dandy

History. This matchup was like back in the day, when people were comparing Neon Genesis Evangelion vs Perfect Blue. 08th MS Gundam Team vs Cowboy Bebop for what was the best anime of the year.
This was a really good start to the year.
Both shows had great hidden subtexts, in addition to their outlandish humor.
Both have great quality animation.

Best:
Fight scenes: Samurai Flamenco
Boobies: Space Dandy
Songs: Samurai Flamenco
Animation: Space Dandy
Characters: Samurai Flamenco
Direction: Samurai Flamenco
Production Space Dandy
Armada: Space Dandy
Haircut: Space Dandy
Toys: Samurai Flamenco
Cosplay: Space Dandy

Favorite Space Dandy Season 1 Episodes

  1. Space Dandy Episode 1&2 and its commentary on race, class and women
  2. 7 Stanley Kubrick commentary
  3. 6 Commentary on Conservative Wars
  4. 13 QT, love and coffee. Commentary on how computers and people love coffee shops nowadays.
  5. 3: What you can't trust based on appearance. Do you trust the vagina or the boobies?

In Samurai Flamenco, the show will be won over by love

All superhero shows feature mainly fighting, right wing characters, as do many dramas, with characters at the bottom of the barrel.

In episode 21, the theme of love was introduced to the show.
It's not the love of
FlamenBlack's love for his grandpa
FlamenGreen's love for his sister
FlamenPink and Lady Axe's love for Red Axe.
Mari for Hazama
Red Axe for Hazama
Goto for Hazama
I thought it'd be the fans' love for Hazama.
It'll be love vs war.
Pure, NAKED love!

As seen in the 18th episode, after Samurai Flamenco defeats a super giant space alien.

In later goes into a bit more in the finale, albeit to probably the most mixed result from me in the series.

However, that's also that I didn't take into account that I had misinterpreted the meaning of the second theme song, which had to do with Ai (love), not Ay-yai-yai, or eyes, a very clever misdirection for American fans. (The confusion also isn't helped when a woman throws baseballs during the music video.)

Believing in love is the salvation.
