SPACE DANDY Episode 21

2nd season Episode 8

悲しみのない世界じゃんよ
Kanashimi no nai sekai jan yo
― A World With No Sadness, Baby

Background video and music are marvelous.
So fantastic, I felt like indulging in a dream without end.
Ferdinand's pronunciation sounded good.
And Dandy looked really cool with his hair down.

●ったく、あいつら肝心な時にいやがらねぇ。
 TTaku, aitsura kanjin na toki ni iyagara nee
― Man, those guys are never there when I need--

●どっか人のいるとこまで乗せてってくんねぇか。
 Dokka hito no iru toko made nosete tte kunnnee ka
― Can you take me somewhere where there are people?

Does the line rhyme?
●んなことより腹ペコなんだよ俺は。
 Nna koto yori harapeko nan da yo ore ha
― Forget that, I'm starving!

[Short for] お腹がペコペコ

●なるほど、ではレストランにご案内しましょう。
 Naruhodo deha resutoran ni goannai shima shou
― I see, then let me take you to a restaurant.

[Brushup]
Barakamon Episode 6
道案内もしてほしいからはずむよ。
  Michiannai mo shitehoshii kara hazumu yo
― Since I want you to show me the way, I'll splurge.

●どうぞお見知りおきを
 Douzo omishiri oki wo
― Pleased to make your acquitance.

A cliched greeting used when meeting a person for the first time.

●すごくありふれてるとも言えますね。
 Sugoku arifureteru tomo iemasu ne
― But you could also say I'm extremely common.

●とんだ思い上がりだわ。
 Tonda omoiagari da wa
― How very conceited.

思い上がった: arrogant, pretentious

●バクテリアや微生物には生きる意味がなくて、ご自分にはあると思い込んでいらっしゃるなんて
 Bakuteria ya biseibutsu niha ikiru imi ga nakute gojibun niha aru to omoikonde irassharu nante
― Bacteria and microorganisms do not have a reason for living-- Yet you believe you do?

●一度ご自分で命を絶ってみてはいかがかしら?
 Ichido gojibun de inochiwo tatte mite ha ikaga kashira
― Why don't you try ending your own life once?

●ナイトポーター。やつらに見つかると厄介です。
 Naito po-ta- Yatsura ni mitsukaru to yakkai desu
― Nightporters. It'll be a bother if they see you.

[Brushup]
Barakamon Episode 7
○いろいろと厄介になりました。
 Iroiro to yakkai ni nari mashita
― Thank you for your generosity.

●今度こそまともな食いもんがあるんだろうな?
 Kondo koso matomo na kuimon ga arun darou na
― There'll be decent foof this time, right?

どうやって生きていくか、それが問題だ
  Douyatte ikite iku ka sorega mondai da
― How to live my life? That is the question.

You know, a line from Hamlet "to be or not to be, that is the question."
That is translated in Japanese as "生きるべきか、死ぬべきか、それが問題だ".

●死ぬことばっかり考えて頭ん中がそれに占拠されてしまうのが嫌なんだ。
 Shinu kto bakkari kangaete atama n naka ga sore ni senkyo sarete shimau no ga iya nanda
― I don't want to think so much about dying that it's the only thing that occupies my mind.

●♪そんなの単に目をそむけてるだけ~♪
 Sonna no tan ni me wo somuketeru dake
― That is like averting your eyes from death.

●♪世界は破滅へと向かっていく~♪
 Sekai ha hametsu he to mukatte iku
― THe world is heading toward destruction...

●♪だから自分が死ぬことなんて取るに足らない出来事でしょう~♪
 Dakara jibun ga shinu koto nante toruni taranai dekigoto deshou
― So thinking about one's own death is a matter of no importance.

取るに足らない: worthless, trivial

●ふざけるな!飴だからって甘く見てもらっちゃ困るんだよ!
 Fuzakeru na Ame dakara tte amaku mite moraccha komarun dayo
― Stop candying around! Just because we look sweet doesn't means we are!

甘く見る: take lightly, underestimate ≒ 舐める

舐めたこと言うんじゃねぇ!
 Nameta koto iun ja nee
― Don't treat us with contempt.

Literally means "lick", so witty.

[Brushup]
Barakamon Episode 8
○先生って虫とり舐めちょるよね。
 Sensei tte mushitori namechoru yone
― Sensei's not takin' beetle catchin' seriously.

●こんな奇妙な生き物は初めて見たよ。
 Konna kimyouna ikimono ha hajimete mita yo
― This is the first time I've ever seen such a peculiar creature.

●ここでは秩序乱すものをそのままにしておくわけにはいかない。
 Koko de ha chitsujo wo midasu mono wo sono mama ni shite oku wake ni ha ikanai
― We cannot leave those who upset our order alone.

●ここで消滅させていただく。
 Koko de shoumetsu sasete itadaku
― We will terminate you now.

●あなたの葬列に決まっているでしょ。
 Anata no souretsu ni kimatte iru desyo
― It's your funeral procession, of course.

●この先にある惑星リンボという星からものすごく巨大な生命反応が検出されています。
 Kono saki ni aru wakusei rinbo to iu hoshi kara monosugoku kyodaina seimeihannou ga kenshutsu sarete imasu
― I have detected an extremely strong life form on Planet Limbo up ahead.

I'd say most Japanese hardly know the meaning of the word "limbo".
We often hear a word "limbo dance", though.

●またお前らのガセネタじゃねぇのかよ?
 Mata omaera no gaseneta ja nee no kayo
― You guys aren't giving me bogus information again, are you?

"ガセ" derives from "お騒がせ(osawagase: fuss)" and were originally used as jargon by "的屋(tekiya: peddler)".

背に腹は代えられませんから。
 Se ni hara ha kaerare masen kara
― You have to do what you have to do.

The proverb literally means "The belly cannot be replaced by the back. / It is better to be stabbed in the back instead of the stomach."

●美味しいもん食べてから餓死したいです。
 Oishii mon tabete kara gashi shitai desu
― I don't want to starve to death until I've eaten something good.

●これは暗黒星雲がすぐそこに迫ってて危険です。
 Kore ha ankoku seiun ga sugu sono ni semattete kiken desu
― A dark nebula is coming right at us! It's dangerous!

納得していただけましたか?
 Nattoku shite itadake mashita ka
― Do you accept that you're dead now?

[Brushup]
Hanayamata Episode 6 (eating nattou)
○う~ん、納得
― Mm, perfect...

●ここでもう終点か?
 Koko de mou shuuten ka
― Is this already the last stop?

●こんな幽霊みたいなやつらばっかりの世界なんてうんざりなんだよ。
 Konna yuurei mitai na yatsura bakkari no sekai nante unzari nanda yo
― I'm tired of this planet filled with ghosts.

●でも彼らは自分たちのつくった文明のせいで勝手に滅んでしまった。
 Demo karera ha jibun tachi no tsukutta bunmei no sei de katteni horonde shimatta
― But they destroyed themselves with their own civilization.

●でも死者たちの魂は磁力がある。
 Demo shisha tachi no tamashii ha jiryoku ga aru
― But the souls of the dead have a certain magnetism.

●別の次元に行くことができるかも。
 Betsu no jigen ni iku koto ga dekiru kamo
― but you may be able to go to another dimension.

As slang, we say "三次元(3D)" to mean our real world and "二次元(2D)" to mean a fictious world such as anime, manga, or video game.

●こんな時に寝てるなんて大物っつうかなんつうか。
 Konna toki ni neteru nante oomono ttsuuka nantsuuka
― He must be some big shot to be sleeping at a time like this.

The final scene has different interpretations.
At any rate the line "Alive or dead, I'm me" could be summarized into.

FYI, a band "Ogre You Asshole" produced music for ED and most of this episode.
