You can't even hear dialogue in some scenes because of it.For sure. I would love a second season. Actually I'd be thrilled if I could get the first season with the original music. The changes on the DVD are brutal

All royalty free stuff. There's a scene where folks are singing "Everybody Hurts" and then the song played. On the DVD they still sing the song but it's just a generic song over it. Just real goofy stuff like that.
i still don't really "get" the love for FLCL. And I usually like these kind of weird shows.
I mean, I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it was great. Mostly forgettable.
Oh I didn't mean in terms of the content itself, I meant in terms of how crazy this is.
Like, Sony producing the next Zelda game or something.
Huh? They were always the things that they are.

But yea, unnecessary.
WHAT ABOUT THAT BIG 0 SEASON 3 THO

I don't think that's even a option, surely? If you don't have The Pillows you might as well not bother. It's a fundamental part of the work.
I think they know this.
Well, now we know from the PR that it's the Psycho-Pass director, so so much for that.
I'm cynical about this because I don't think it has any need to exist. FLCL was such a lovely and perfect experience that ended definitively, and I can't see any reason to do a sequel aside from just to make money. So I don't really have much confidence in this being done by a bunch of motivated artists putting their heart and soul into it. It's more likely going to be a team just looking to make a paycheck.
Space Dandy would be the best case scenario, but I don't have much faith in a Production IG show from the director of Psycho-Pass giving that sort of freedom or getting that level of production.
I'd guess the show will probably look fairly good. But I doubt it can come close to the visual creativity of the original. What made FLCL work wasn't just the quality of animation, but how visually expressive the show was. The character designs, the shifts into manga pages, all of the visual gags, the colors, and so much more beyond that. Maybe the sequel will have strong animation. But do you have faith in this director to be as visually creative and expressive as Tsurumaki and the various episode directors in FLCL were?

Then why announce the show without The Pillows locked in already?
I'm not sure how I should feel about this. The original series ended so succinctly. There are way too many things that could be easily fucked up.
Re: the pillows' involvement. (And I guess I should re-state that I'm against a direct sequel to FLCL at all, so take that as you will.)
95% of their music in the original was taken from their few previous albums at the time, I think only Ride On Shooting Star and I Think I Can were new. They went on to be one of my absolute favorite bands for a while, but the music they've done in the 16 years since then... it's not awful, but I've liked it progressively less and less, and it's certainly no longer very much like their late 90s output.
They should get a new band for this. Try to make it its own thing. (Edit: I guess if they get the pillows to actually record new music in their older style it could be interesting, but it comes back to this whole production feeling like it'll likely be a lame attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle.)
I'd prefer Motorcity, but maybe that's just me. Or if we want to get nuts (why not), TRON UPRISING.... Yeah, actually. After Samurai Jack, MEGAS XLR was the obvious show for them to bring back next. Still, it's FLCL. It's far from a bad choice.

I mean you're totally right in that this is a cash grab but that doesn't mean something of high quality still can't be produced or that it can't be a product with a lot of creative expression. This didn't need to be made, I'm still curious about the complete staff (the director scenario seems to be weird given what has been revealed since you made your post), and I'd be SHOCKED if this could live up to the impact of the original. I'm just not willing to throw this all under a bus yet.
Didn't the original have a lot of fan service that americans probably wouldn't approve of nowadays? I guess they're going to hold back on that?
Well, someone must be doing something, right?
At least, you would think so.
I'm guessing this is all really early stuff. It will probably be a while before we see this.
With adult swim?
Ok...
