AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS THE ONLY ANIME I'VE EVER ANIMED, DISCUSS
FUCK YOU I JUST CAME TO POST THIS
I'M FREAKING OUT
this is like one of the animes that was better off with 1 season tbh
QuoteAdult Swim, a division of Turner, is proud to announce an official sequel to one of the most beloved anime series of all time - FLCL (pronounced Fooly Cooly). Created in 2000, FLCL told the tale of Naota, a 12-year-old boy who met a woman that would forever change his life…whether he liked it or not. 16 years later, Adult Swim and legendary animation studio, Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell), are creating two new six-episode seasons to continue the tale, which will premiere in Adult Swim’s Toonami block. Known for its surprising and unique content with high fan engagement, Adult Swim has been basic cable’s #1 Network in the U.S. with 18-24 and 18-34 year olds for eleven consecutive years. The new season of FLCL adds to Adult Swim’s ever expanding portfolio of original programming.
“The original FLCL is an anime classic and has been a fixture on Adult Swim since we first laid eyes on it,” said Jason DeMarco, senior vice president/creative director, Adult Swim On-Air. “I’m beyond thrilled to be able to produce a sequel with the original creators, for Toonami, where it belongs.”
Back for the new season is FLCL series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki, serving as supervisor with director Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Also joining this season is writer Hideto Iwai (Last Dinner).
QuoteIn the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?
All of these questions and more will be answered in the new season of the series, which is set to premiere in late 2017/early 2018 on Adult Swim.

.........it doesn't need a second season
FLCL is my favorite show period, and I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I'm viewing it as a sequel series and not really a direct continuation of the original.

but how can you make that judgement without there being a second season? doodhuh;
like yeah the first one was great, but i can't think of a single one series show (that i've actually seen) where i'm like YES THIS WAS PERFECTLY CONTAINED AND I'VE COMPLETELY HAD MY FILL. firefly, freaks and geeks, mission hill, this show. like there's fucking PLENTY about the FLCL universe that they could go deeper into, because that show did an ass job of explaining pretty much fucking anything. i had to watch it like 6 times and read the manga before i had a baseline comprehension of what was even happening
like i'm not saying 100% yeah its gonna be great and add a lot of the universe and it's just what we needed, i'm just saying it's too early to make that call; and like hiro just said it's more of a sequel than a direct continuation anyway
you overthought it, c.mongler. flcl is, at its heart, a simple coming-of-age story. and that's why the sequel seasons need to do something new: naota's gone through his pubescent change already. i mean i guess it's logical to assume it could simply continue from there, with naota continuing to learn to live life to the fullest amidst the crazy shit he gets sucked into because of haruko's selfishness, but the general coming-of-age arc is finished, done, sealed.
my real fear is that they'll abandon the old writing style entirely and the new flcl will be nothing but vapid, zany silliness with no reason for it to exist. no characters to mature, no entendre or metaphor.
my other fear is that it'll simply suffer from lack of input from the original creators. only production i.g. is confirmed to be working on this, not gainax. that's half the studio involvement already.
I am the least excited person here for this it seems
there can only be ONE COMING OF AGE STORY
EVER

that's not what i meant and you know it, stop being such a c.mongler
naota's, specifically, is already finished. at least, it is in the terms set by the show to begin with.
i'm kind of hoping this will take place after a sizeable time skip. i'd like to see an adult naota reuniting with haruko. to kind of mirror amarao's situation in the first flcl.
way to totally skip over hiro's summary post, rude ass
the original flcl was god awful, please stop posting in this thread so it stops appearing in the board index

my snap judgements are final
basically, as long as this is at least almost as good as the old one, i'll be really happy. this is one of the most important shows of my middle school/high school years and it's amazing to have it back

somehow, I have doubts that it will be.
Call it a hunch
the original has a full 10/10 for me on MAL. if this one manages to at least be an 8, as in be "great," i will be super happy. if it manages to be at least good, i'll be slightly disappointed, but only slightly. but i'll still be grateful to have more flcl.
FLCL was an 8 for me, so, I'm sure I'll like it just fine

this seems about right to me too yeah, I'm just hoping the story is good and the animation isn't fucking weird (meaning it should be really weird like the original)
also I thought about naota being amarao as well and I think a few people are predicting that, but maybe that would be too obvious? maybe he could be in the same position as amarao but not a twat or maybe he comes around at the end who knows really. I think he'll probably be involved in the story but more as an observer or behind the scenes kind of thing.
Reeeeeaaally curious to see how the character designs come out
well even if naota was in amarao's position career-wise, i doubt he'd act like him. because amarao's problem is that he never really grew up, he just pretended to act like he knew everything. naoto genuinely grew as a person where amarao never managed to, so i think that if a grown naota is in this, his character will reflect that.
duuuude have u seen an anime called flcl its sooooo weird XDD it s like im high when im watching it

epic
guess it's time to finally watch this show
i mean season 2 doesn't start for almost 2 years so i think you have time
i've been meaning to anyway, might as well get hype
Sure, plus it's about as long as a movie. I usually watch it once a year, will probably do that soonish too
i should rewatch it because i have no memory of it
