Considering AS has aired Parasyte, SAO 2, Dimension W, and AgK in the past year less then a year after it aired on Toonami I feel they've done a great balance of old and new
Even if I'm excited for this, I can fully understand the mentality of "the story was completed/finished, what's left to tell?" that people are expressing.
At the very least, this was an idea that's been kicking around for quite some time, so maybe they're using some of the ideas from way back when they wanted, but I can see why people are still skeptical of this happening so many years after the sequel.

For sure, hopefully one better then IGPX
Sure, it's just interesting to watch the story change when the $ signs start showing up.
Let us be honest here, Demarco was just pissed he couldn't play with those toys at the time, money does indeed talk and bullshit walks.

How has the story really changed? They've always had a balance of old and new ever since Toonami came back. And I'm not sure if you can count Shippuden or OP as old since neither has ever aired on US TV at the points we're watching. Outside of DBZ Kai (which is technically new for the block) and Champloo 4 of the premier slots are for 100% new on Toonami shows. It's not like Shippuden and One Piece aren't still currently airing in Japan
The biggest concern is what replaces Dragon Ball Z Kai if the Buu Arc is not in the cards. I know it is probably coming but with Toei being so odd about Dragon Ball these days I can't count on it. Basically what I am getting at is should DBZ Kai end this year, I would say the viable candidates are Hunter X Hunter or Fairy Tail.
They'll start rerunning Kai in the leadoff spot.
I can count Naruto because most of his rants about nostalgia and how they wouldn't do that were specifically in response to questions about why they wouldn't show Naruto Shippuden.
I think them getting burned on Attack on Titan so badly will dissuade that.

I wouldn't be surprised if they rerun the whole Kai saga again. DBZ makes solid ratings so they have that to fall back on.
DBZ is not Attack on Titan.
Okay, they could have done this with Bleach as well and they did not. The fact of the matter is you gotta get behind the new show at some point.
They didn't do it with Bleach because they could get DBZ. And they started to reair what they could of Bleach.
Erin turning into a titan is totally the same as Goku going Super Saiyan.
Levi is just an emo version of Vegeta.
I don't know what were the motivations and influences that led to the decisions in crafting Fooly Cooly. I don't know if it was an precise production or a bunch of animators going with whatever flow they had in making it. What I know for sure that it was made by the right people at the right time; stars-aligning if you will. It was really more of an experience then your typical fiction.
I'm not really sure this can be recreated, let alone willingly or strategically.

To think, 13 years ago-me would've been super excited about this news. More FLCL, more Ninamori!
Jeez man, still can't help but feeling indifferent.

Oh I am not precluding the idea that DBZ Kai moves to say 3 AM like Bleach did, I just have my severe doubts that it will hold steadfast at midnight.

Think of it kind of like Chrono Trigger - a real planetary alignment of staff that meshed together perfectly.
To then be followed up by a sequel that lives in the shadow of the original & earned a mixed reputation from the fanbase.
While we're at it, bring the old obscure Sunrise shows back. More Big O or Witch Hunter Robin!
What are these tomatoes?
*Puts down tomato cannon*
Oh nothing...
Don't joke about that.

I REALLLY don't know how to feel about FLCL coming back. I felt that it was perfectly wrapped up and didn't need a sequel.

It could still happen, it could replace Parasyte.

I read the manga adaption for FLCL. Closest I gotten to watching the series.
And basically the most I have to say about FLCL S2 and S3 being a thing now.

You should watch it. It's really good.

I'm now expecting to watch it when Toonami eventually airs FLCL S1 to hype up the new stuff. The manga is basically a blurr to me now so I'll essentially going in blind if/when I do get to it.

I wasn't around for it, but I know they already showed S1 a lot of times. I guess it would make sense to air S1 beforehand to hype everyone up for S2 and 3.

Holy shit this is crazy news. Never in a million years would I have thought this'd happen...buuuuuuuuut I have doubts. The original FLCL was like lightning in a bottle. To replicate such greatness would be quite hard. Ill just have to wait and see.
Honestly, my reaction to new FLCL is just ... meh. I mean yeah it's a miracle it happened but I'm having trouble caring. Maybe I just need to watch the original six episodes again.
*lists pronouns* WHY. DO. PEOPLE. ON. TUMBLR. DO. THIS? Nobody cares!

I agree about the 'lighting in a bottle'. Here's hoping this crew can replicate the feel of the original.
All we know so far is that the plan is to bring back the original voice cast, The Pillows, the same director (as an advisor) and one of the co-founders of Gainax. To me, the biggest missing piece is Imaishi as animation director. Without him, I worry about how this will look and if the animation will be on the same level.

I still need to watch last week's episode of DW since my stream was acting up. Is the dub up on Funimation's website?
It's not up there yet?

I don't know. That's why I'm asking.

Go back though the archives of when DeMarco mentioned they had planned to do a second season of FLCL back in the day on Pre-Flight. Sometime after that episode aired and now is when the talks started. Hell I wonder if that comment on pre-flight actually got the ball rerolling.
