I can't find much about this elsewhere. Does anyone know

FLCL was only 6 episodes, that's all they could afford with the budget. It was an art experiment at best.

That is what I was led to believe that flcl was actually just the animators testing out new techniques so they threw together a story. I did not know they where tight on money at the time. Still though, you would think there would be some similar reception over at japan as it did in the west. Maybe it was just overshadowed by something bigger at the time

Overrated garbage.
Can't wait for netflix sequel so faggots get to eat the shit they praise so much.

lolsorandum shows don't sell well anywhere and only get popular among internet hipsters. It's surprising so many studios still fall for this crap. Even kyoani made this mistake with Nichijou.

I am honestly not looking forward to it. Apparently the second season will be a proper one so like 13 or so episodes.

There is no way Gainax will be able to be on par with what they made in the first one. Not to mention that the show did not really need a sequel and it ended perfectly as it did.

I dont know what Gainax's track record has been like in recent years as I have been out of the loop.

FLCL sold 20k

>>151772832
I read that nichijou did not sell well, the show itself was pretty well liked. Like the dvds or whatever was priced at a ridiculous price or something over there. I could be wrong though.

Gainax isn't making it. Also, it's two seasons, totaling 12 episodes. Also, it's not funded by Netflix.

>>151772869
In japan or in the west? Was 20k good at the time back then? I dont have a frame of reference if that is shit or not.

>>151772959
>Gainax isn't making it.
Then what the fuck is the point then? Not even some of the original staff will be working on it then?

>>151772832
Fuck off.

>>151773014
That's the complaint most people have.

Some of the staff actually is returning, the director, Tsurumaki, is taking a supervisory role IIRC.

>>151773120
>Production I.G. was involved as well

Well shit this is news to me, I never knew about that. Gainax only co-produced it.

>>151773148
I don't know how exactly it was made, but I'd still attribute most of it to Gainax. It is still, after all, a Gaianx anime, directed by someone at Gainax, animated by Gainax animators, and so on. Knowing IG, they probably handled the digital effects.

What does a shameless cash-in sequel have to do with the integrity of the original?

Even if you're going to be a contrarian cunt that hates it for being popular, how can you not enjoy the way the show animated around it's soundtrack?

The people who made FLCL don't work at Gainax anymore. It would probably have even less to do with them if it were made there.
