Get ready for this to just be a massive April Fools joke...

...though there is an awful lot of press about it, so probably real
 
Man, I wish I could get more excited for this. Just can't see it holding a candle to the original, especially going by the synopsis we have so far.

Might give it a watch for curiosity's sake.

Well, I have been drinking so that means I may have passed out and am now dreaming.... You are onto something here.

FLCL was... something else entirely. I remember just staying up during the weekend when I was a teen and just watching them in awe. It was bonkers and AS made it even more memorable with their awesome ass bumps.
 
FLCL always felt like a one off happy accident that somehow defied all logic and worked as a single quick fire package; it came at just the right time and hit the perfect notes. Not sure why there is a need to dig it up. I hope a sequel will live up to the legacy but tentative observation for now. the pillows will help.
 
First I was like "HOLY SHIT" but then I realized there's noooo waaaay this can match up to the original. No one can do Gainax but Gainax themselves.
 
OH. MY. GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD.

This show defined my high school years and is still my favorite anime of all time. I'm even about to get a tattoo of Amarao pointing his gun at Haruko. I'm legit shedding tears.

I don't think anyone is expecting it to live up to the original. But even if it doesn't, there's a lot of space between "absolutely amazing" and "absolutely terrible." So it could still be decent, at least. Or it could be absolutely terrible. We won't know until it's out.

Lol after this inevitable trainwreck airs you'll be posting this gifs opposite.
 
I was out for a couple of hours, and just saw the full pres release.

They actually got the crew back. I'm amazed.

If that synopsis is true, Thirsty-ass Naota as the new Commander Amarao is enough for me to be hyped even if the rest of that show is literal dog shit.

Truth.

I always figured Naota would reject the basic message of the series and end up fucking up his life looking for Haruko.

Gainax exists in name only nowadays. Everyone who matters from the old days is at Khara or Trigger.

Toonami aired Kill la Kill. Fanservice isn't a problem.

Huh, didn't most episodes had their most extreme fanservice scenes toned down for the [as] airing?
In any case, FLCL didn't have over the top fanservice like KLK did, but it did have potentially controversial themes and undertones.
 
OH MAN, I have never been so excited and terrified about a piece of entertainment in my life. If this doesn't remotely live up to the masterpiece level first season, I don't even know. On the bright side, if it does have the Pillows, maybe they will have a tour? Also, FLCL merch is next to impossible to find, maybe there will be more of that?

FLCL already aired on new Toonami like 2 years ago.
 
Never asked for this and I remember there were some rumblings about thus months ago. I can only hope it's god and has The Pillows. If it fails... well we'll always have the classic first season.
 
It'll be tough to top. FLCL is near perfect.

If Adult Swim brings back Big O I think i'll lose my goddamn mind

@Clarknova1 What about The Pillows? Does the production intend (key word here) to bring The Pillows back for the soundtrack?

They intend to get the Pillows for the soundtrack.

It's not the same to co-produce something new than to air something that was dubbed 15 years ago.

The point is that if the original FLCL was too risque for them they could have edited it for TV or not showed it at all. You are literally worrying about nothing.
 
WOW amazing but not going to lie I'm sort of worried, the new ghost in the shell films don't look that great compared to the Gits1995 hopefully this doesn't turn out bad.

edit: Just looked at I.G recent work list and didn't know they were involved in so much:O, aside from Gits films everything else is pretty solid.
