"Space Dandy" is about a guy named 'Dandy'... in space!
The MWI is a very central concept in the entire show and what really hammers this point is the finale of Episode 1 where it ends up killing Dandy at the end of episode 1... YES! Dandy literally gets exploded in what he calls a Plan 'B', the "last resort", which is to explode the entire planet by self-destructing his own ship and capture them later, not realizing that he is on the same planet as the aliens. What makes it even more absurd is when the next episode... just happens. No one seems to know about what happened in the previous episode or even cares about what happens in the next episode. Every episode feels very different with a different undertone or message, sometimes it's a space action filled with amazing sequences, sometimes it's a fluffy high school musical or about a rock concert or disco dancing, and sometimes it goes all philosophical & often leaves the viewer being bewildered with what just they witnessed. The show has this wacky and carefree exterior which might have led many to believe that it's nothing more than a silly comedy featuring weird aliens and often sexualized female characters but it's definitely more than that.

Die-hard fans might've already caught 'Evertt' in beginning and sensed where this is going, especially if you're a fan of that JP ending song (like myself). And there's a connection that I found when I was searching through Evertt's wiki page. And this is what his son, "Mark Oliver Evertt" regarding his father's sudden death, said the following:

_" I think about how angry I was that my dad didn't take better care of himself. How he never went to a doctor, let himself become grossly overweight, smoked three packs a day, drank like a fish, and never exercised. But then I think about how his colleague mentioned that, days before dying, my dad had said he lived a good life and that he was satisfied. I realize that there is a certain value in my father's way of life. He ate, smoked, and drank as he pleased, and one day he just suddenly and quickly died. Given some of the other choices I'd witnessed, it turns out that enjoying yourself and then dying quickly is not such a hard way to go."_

Now that reminds of a Dandy guy, does it not?
Our lives are really unpredictable and so is the reality we live in but, there's still a beautiful world out there. We just have to catch those stars instead of shedding tears for a lost cause, so it's better to just enjoy life (Not to say you should abandon your responsibilities though, You should carry that Weight.)

Each episode is scripted and sometimes even directed by different people, which really tells why it varies so much, and gives a distinct experience with every episode. The animation is really top-notch, and the overall colorful art style and backgrounds are a sight to witness. I really love both the opening and ending songs (again), they really grew on me.
