thanks in advance! I also hope there is more than just 5 episodes.

Only two come to mind:

COWBOY BEBOP - a show about a crew of space adventurers (also done by Shinichiro Watanable). Considered the FIREFLY/SERENITY of anime.

LUPIN III - the original adventure anime about a bunch of crooks on the run and having adventures. Shinichiro Watanable was influenced by it.

07/08/06... 786... the sentinel of Allah has arrived.

I would add FLCL a.k.a. Fooly Cooly to that list.
This show is a perfect mix of those 3 shows.

For some reason it reminds me of Lupin and I miss that anime. I loooove this show

If you like the style of animation plus character and tech designs, try RedLine. Space Dandy looks like a blatant ripoff of Sweet JP from that movie. Soundtrack is awesome too.

@johnnycashak

I agree with that. Sweet's ridiculous pompadour puts Dandy's to shame.

Samurai champloo. Same director of this show and cowboy bebop. Awesome and really funny.

It's a mix of Lupin/FLCL/Bebop as some of the posters above said.

While I'm not a huge fan of FLCL, Bebop and Lupin are 2 of my all time favorites. Dandy is quickly becoming one of my favorites as well.

About the episode count, I hear it will be either 13 or 26.

Outlaw Star is also like this and old school like Cowboy Bebop :)

I'm gonna go live action and way out there with The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. If ever there was a real live Dandy - it's Brisco - and he's a bounty hunter! And there's alien stuff and time travel! Ran also for 26 (27) episodes! 1992-1993 - Bruce Campbell is great as Brisco. Enjoy! (Bowler is Meow, Socrates is QT.. hey i think i'm onto something here.. hehehh).
