Otakon 2013: Director Shinichiro Watanabe’s Newest Series “Space Dandy” Premieres

For the second year in a row, we went to Otakon at the Baltimore Convention Center (BCC) the weekend of August 9-11, 2013.  We managed to catch the world premier of Shinichiro Watanabe’s newest series, Space Dandy.  Watanabe is famous for a number of titles, including Cowboy Bebop, and his most recent work, Kids on the Slope.  The first Q&A turned into a series of panels with Sunrise Inc, Bandai Entertainment, and Funimation.  The result was a more in depth look at Director Watanabe’s work, both past and present.
