[Semblance]

Huh. Never really felt like this needed more.

 

[Grisby]

also needs the pillows or its already doomed

Indeed.

 

[BassForever]

Have no idea if this can live up to the original but I'm excited

 

[Imperial Bishop]

HOLY SHIT WUT???

 

[jstripes]

Only, only, if the original crew are working on it.

As much as FLCL was perfect as a stand-alone story, it has potential avenues to go down.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow. That is awesome.

 

[Fried Food]

This can only disappoint. FLCL was the right time in my life for it to happen. No way

 

[RecRoulette]

If you're hoping it'll live up to season one you're already putting yourself in a spot you can't recover from. Just enjoy the madness, good or bad.

 

[kewlmyc]

What is happening!?

 

[Matsukaze]

FLCL is one of my favorite anime series of all time. I'm really apprehensive about this.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Out of nowhere, my goodness!

AS the hero we need. I wish AS was around with this anime stuff in the early 90s when I'd have to get lucky to find cool anime movies on Scifi. I need to try to get back into it all, thank goodness for the state of internet today and crunchyroll.

[More Cowboy Bebop]

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Out of nowhere. Still need to finish the original first season. Adult Swim has been on a role lately.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Not getting my hopes up. FLCL is near perfection as it is and Tsurumaki ain't directing.

I'll watch an episode or two.

 

[Maniel]

Woah

 

[Firehead]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, YESSSS! <3<3<3<3<3

 

[Loudninja]

Ending theme was so awesome

[orochi91]

As much as I like FLCL.

There is absolutely no chance of this matching the original. Those members of Gainax aren't even around and who knows if the Pillows are onboard. Let it go

+1

 

[LordCanti]

I was really hoping this was a remake because I can't imagine anything good coming from a sequel. I remember asking this when that rumor came out... but what would a sequel even be? He goes

Spoiler

out to space looking for her?

I don't want that at all. Her adventures

Spoiler

in space looking for Atomsk?

Ok, maybe, but.....


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

 

[Tohsaka]

I thought it ended fine as it was. I'll probably still check it out, though.

 

[Guess Who]

Only, only, if the original crew are working on it.

Hasn't the original staff been pretty well dispersed among other studios now? Notice they didn't even mention Gainax is working on it, just I.G., not that most of the Gainax old guard is even at Gainax (they've all gone to Trigger, Khara, and others).

 

[UnemployedVillain]

If you're hoping it'll live up to season one you're already putting yourself in a spot you can't recover from. Just enjoy the madness, good or bad.

This. I'll repeat there's no chance of it living up. Can't say it'll be bad, but it won't compare

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

did an actual double take there.

dunno if FLCL needs more episodes tho...perfect as is. Maybe it will be a Gunbuster -> Diebuster thing

 

[Hot Coldman]

The wild thing about [as]'s revivals is that you can't see them coming at all.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

No fucking way o.o

 

[daveo42]

also needs the pillows or its already doomed

Exactly. I'm sure the pillows will be glad to throw over another handful of songs from their library.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

If they have The Pillows back, i'm fucking there.

Toonami is incredible.

 

[RangerBAD]

Hmm, I don't know about this.

 

[Clefargle]

My GF:

Dude holy shit. I can't even imagine what they're doing with it. Dude, my life.

 

[Dimmle]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

 

[Blader]

This can only disappoint. FLCL was the right time in my life for it to happen. No way

FLCL came in at the perfect time in my life too, which is probably a big reason it's my all time favorite anime.

But still... This is fucking nuts! I'm in. I'm hoping they can bring the same dub voice actor for Haruko.

 

[Negator]

Me and both coworkers I showed the news to all had the same reaction:

"WHAAAAAAT!?"

 

[Venture]

I don't like Adult Swim being involved in this. I just know it's going to be Americanized.

 

[Jarmel]

Lord take me into the abyss and swallow me whole.

 

[Skab]

The Pillows please

 

[_woLf]

Out of fucking NOWHERE!

BASED ADULT SWIM!

 

[Joyful]

big o season 3 pls

 

[Dynedom]

Cross-posting from the Winter Anime OT but:

Not sure how I feel about this. FLCL wrapped up nicely and I'm not sure how you could do another season.

And yes, The Pillows or GTFO

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

For those of us who have no idea what this is, can you equate it to something else?

 

[LycanXIII]

 

[RecRoulette]

I don't like Adult Swim being involved in this. I just know it's going to be Americanized.

I don't know, Big O season 2 didn't really have that problem. Had other major problems, but not that one.

 

[slightconfuse]

HOLY shiiiiiiiit

 

[eggandI]

Haven't been into anime in over half a decade but FLCL was a huge show for me when I watched it as it aired on AS. I was at the perfect age (13) to really connect with the show and its themes of coming of age. Not sure how much impact it would have now that I'm 25, but then again these new seasons could easily be something quite different from the original.

I'll definitely give this a try, and I imagine so will many others like me who grew up watching adult swim but are no longer into anime. Smart move by AS

 

[Daingurse]

Wow, out of nowhere. Haven't seen FLCL since I was in my teens. Don't even remember whether I enjoyed the series or not lol. Cool for fans.

 

[Jazz573]

2016 is the second year of (anime) dreams. But uh, I don't think FLCL needs another season.

 

[Garudan]

I'm not totally convinced this is a good idea, but I'll watch it anyway.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I don't like Adult Swim being involved in this. I just know it's going to be Americanized.

Based on what? AS has never Americanized or ruined series. They're pretty hands off. Their only mandates for Big O S2 for instance was to give it an ending, because the creator wanted to leave it open ended

 

[TuXx]

I don't want it. Fooly Cooly ended on a good note. Any continuation sorta cheapens the series.

 

[Rymuth]

But yea, unnecessary.

WHAT ABOUT THAT BIG 0 SEASON 3 THO

Yes, please! Criminally underrated show!

 

[A Link to the Past]

I understand the misgivings, but Big O Season 2 was pretty damn good. I trust Adult Swim to handle it carefully.

 

[zma1013]

Perhaps my favorite anime. Part of the reasoning being it didn't overstay its welcome so on one hand I'm excited, on the other, I'm just wondering why? Here's to hoping it turns out good.
