Hey Space Dandy twitter - I know it's a bit of a reach but is there a higher-res version of this cowboy illustration? It's a cover of vol 3 of the Japanese rental DVDs and all I can find online are thumbnail-size images of it.
okay I should probably take a break and watch something a little more traditional (and English) for a minute
@almightyramtha I always think of "if you know Japanese you should know what this means" in this fansub meme when people complain too much about nuance in translations.
There's the obvious comparisons (Lupin==Spike, Jigen==Jet, Fujiko==Faye, jazz soundtrack) but for me one of the most rewarding moments of watching Part 1 was getting to "Hitman Sings the Blues" and IMMEDIATELY recognizing the DNA of what would form "Cowboy Bebop" decades later.
