Space Dandy: A Spoiler Free Review

Admin/ June 10, 2017/ Anime

  Space Dandy Review is a Review Dandy in Space.  Taking a slight break from the media I typically consume, I stumbled upon a much more lighthearted Anime.  This one comes off as a parody of Cowboy Beebop which rarely takes itself seriously.  It is notable that at the time of writing this blog post, one of my roommates considers

Admin/ October 10, 2016/ Rants

  Its amazing how unlike many of the other posts I have written, that I doubt that many will disagree with the title.

Admin/ July 11, 2015/ Rants
