I now realize MAYO MAYO MAYO would have been even better

You were expecting good food, but it was me, Arby's.
This isn't being streamed or anything?
I found a twitter account that'll be live posting, but I haven't heard anything about a stream.
Edit: Someone noticed on the poster in the bottom left corner that it says "2018", which isn't surprising, but it seems to confirm it ain't happening in late 2017 as previously mentioned.

Not all that surprising.
Jason & Gill have arrived at the panel, but I don't think it's started yet. Line was massive, let alone the seating.
Stream is up: https://twitter.com/ToonamiSquad/status/881636973114302464

Makes sense. This is probably the biggest panel at the show.

Both confirmed to be 2018 releases.
I'm willing to wait.

Trailer looks good. Staff is solid.

So I'm still watching the second season of Food Wars. I like the series for the most part, but I still have one major issue with it, and it goes into the manga as well. I always find it disingenuous how much the narrative and characters want to cast Soma as the underdog. Even with how unconventional Soma cooks, you'd think at a certain point characters would stop acting like he has no chance at winning any of his matches.
And It'd be one thing if his unorthodox style ever bit him in the ass, but that's never the case, at least for the matches that actually matter.

I hope the actual series has some of the og FLCL's sense of lighting and shadow. Needs more sunsets.
Animation quality looks really good from the trailer. Lots of detail, crazy camera angles and thin lines. Character designs appear slightly different but still mostly the same. Music is spot on (obviously). New protagonist and her techno cat ears are cute.
I'm quite optimistic.

Huh, I wonder if they'll get the same artist. It's been a while since I last read it, but I recall it had a completely different 2nd half compared to the anime. Really hope it doesn't fall into "I feel like I'm just reading the storyboards or rather just watch the anime" trap a decent amount of manga suffer when the anime comes first instead of the manga.
I can't really think of a series where the anime was first, then the manga but people think the manga's better. Nobody talks about the Cowboy Bebop manga, that's for sure.

New FLCL trailer looks alright so far.
Highlight for me is seeing The Pillows back. Right there at the very least gives me some hope.

I think the Evangelion manga has its defenders but it's far from the majority.
Wayyy back in the day Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa would have their works adapted into anime like a month or two after the manga debut, but they would usually end up different barring some plot points informing each other.

Oh right, I forgot Eva has....what, 5 different manga series? One that follows the anime, one that's a spin-off based on that fake universe Shinji has right near the end of the series, a comedy parody, a series that removes the robots & focuses on the characters, & a non-canon one that's suppose to be a sequel to the manga that follows the anime & is super ecchi?
Edit: omg, that last one I mentioned is a manga based on a game based on an anime. That sure isn't confusing.

I remember reading one where instead of Evas, the characters instead wore powered battle suits.

I was thinking of the Sadamoto manga, which I've now learned is disqualified because it was technically released before the anime started airing to drum up interest but was rapidly outpaced (it finally finished in 2013).

That's Naota's kid or i'll eat my hat. (The boy, not the girl)
I want to say that's Campus Apocalypse? It was published in a Shojo focused magazine.
I got the first volume of Angelic Days from a yard sale many years ago, but that's all I read.
I have the Cowboy Bebop manga & the other one, Shooting Star. I don't think either one follows the anime & are rather forgettable. Not awful, just......rather disappointing when you compare it to the anime.

The thing about works like Eva and Bebop is that a manga adaptation doesn't have their strong directing, pacing, or soundtracks which I consider to be an integral part of both works.
Heard the first half is basically Mafia drama with some animu but then full animu late

Guess it's high time I go and watch FLCL. Read the manga a couple of years ago but recall nothing about it so I'll basically be going in blind. Is the dub available for free users on Funimation Now?
