FLCL Being Brought Back
https://www.facebook.com/adultswim/posts/10153948493286745
Toonami and Production IG will be coproducing 12 episodes across 2 sequel seasons to FLCL, set to air in late 2017/early 2018. Also worth noting is that they plan to bring The Pillows back for the OST: https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/713124474619473920 The people running Toonami also consider FLCL to be the best anime ever. Reactions? Thoughts? |

Not sure about the Toonami part, but whatever. FLCL is always welcome.
|
Why can't they just leave nice things alone?

All these negative responses here in PC; meanwhile, users outside of PC are actually excited about this news. Is there some sort of entitlement within PC's anime/manga community?
|
Dammit, Yoshiyuki, get back to work on Evangelion :D
Joking aside... why? And how will this work? |

Your source was terrible btw, it was a meme website and there were about 6 replies. The wider online anime community is like PC and looking upon this with some scepticism. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1494303 http://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/139074289 |

Also, yes, KYM is less than a representative source for anime fans at large. Also not sure how that implies entitlement. Hell, if there were a lot of negative comments here it'd imply the opposite. And considering the studio, and how it came into being, I see a lot less reason to be excited so much as confused or rightly skeptical. It's easy to get excited over a name alone, but when you look at all the factors, this sequel doesn't inspire much faith. |

If anything, I'd be skeptical because of nothing but the fact that FLCL, despite being wacky as it was, ended. And I honestly don't see how they can expand on the story without fucking something up. Counter argument being the fact that there's not really much you can do to fuck up something like FLCL since the original was mostly Sakuga: The anime with a great soundtrack and crazy shit happening every second. Which I can't really deny, tbh. But yeah. It'd work maaaaaaaybe if they used the original universe and create something crazy with different characters and whatnot. But idk about it getting a direct sequel. Anyone would be skeptical about that. |
Quote:
For me, though, I won't really be convinced of anything until we see a director. And writers, for that matter, because FLCL was definitely stranger in its writing/dialog and, I suppose by extension, it's narrative as a whole moreso than its visual eccentricities. |
Why this instead of a classic anime that could use a new season.
Like, you know, Big O? |

Them doing it with Trigger, on the other hand, would've been a different story altogether. Since I suppose most of the original Gainax staff that worked on this went over to Trigger (Imaishi and the gang). THAT would've actually changed opinions of a lot of people, I suppose. But yeah, I can see where you're coming from. The director will determine the fate of the series. Hand it over to a newb and it is done for. But it is gonna be an IG work. I trust IG so I'll be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. |
Whilst it was popular in it's day Big O is tiny compared to FLCL nowadays.
Shame as a new spike in Dorothy artwork would have been good. |
Spoiler: FLCL Spoilers

IIRC, season 2 of Big O also got kind of, well, weird. |
