FLCL unveil tomorrow

Naota married Ninamori.

>>159230005
>....
I want /co/ to leave.

>>159230005
>Also.... who ready for Naota to be the next commander amarao and out of jealousy and madness hunt down haruko the same way amarao did

What scares me is that they would give Naota some big heroic entrance that completely shits on the themes of the original for cheap fanservice

>>159230005
Even the story is shit, I still gonna enjoy the animation.

I'm not, because I'm not going to watch it. Nothing will taint my memory of the OVA.

>>159230101
its possible. But based on the synopsis this is years and years later.

I like the idea that he went bitter and joined up with amarao and took his job eventually

It was hinted heavily that haruko did the same thing to amarao

>>159230207
Honestly that's potentially a wise decision.
I wish I never watched E7 Ao

>>159230125
not only are you going to watch it. but it will be popular and adult swim will sell so much shit you will see it everywhere.

>>159230262
You won't see it anywhere as long as you don't go on any cancerous websites.

What exactly is coming out tomorrow? A PV?

>>159230363
Yes. A PV.

Rockets, robots and good animation.

I really wouldn't judge too much from a single PV but I'm trying to have zero expectations going into this, as hard as that is to do since FLCL still stands as my favorite anime.

I wonder which one of the new Pillows songs they'll use?

>>159230492
I hope they are not sloppy and rehash major portions of the original OST. The whole thing should be new stuff imo

>>159230572
Not using other songs by the pillows would be a shame. Did Fool on the Planet ever get used?

>>159230005
Ok, serious question, WHY? whats the point? it would be like if guren lagann got another season.

>>159230920
because its one of the most famous "non conclusion" animes ever

>>159231040
seemed like a pretty solid conclusion to me.

>>159230920
The Adult Swim employees loved it. If I recall correctly, it was their favorite show to play, which is why it had so many reruns over the years. I think they even had a bump that talked about how much they loved FLCL. My guess is that somewhere along the way, someone convinced the people who hold onto the money that a sequel would be a good idea. Wouldn't be the first time that Production IG/Turner Broadcasting worked together on stuff. So, more than any monetary gain, I'm going to guess that this is just someone's labor of love, for better or for worse.

>>159231096
>>159230920

^this
It had a perfect conclusion and there's no reason to shit on it by making an unnecessary cashgrab sequel, even if unnecessary cashgrab sequels are the trend of the decade.

>>159230123
I'm probably going to follow this road as well and instead rewatch the original.

Neat. That's some good self awareness right there.

well at least its this one and not cowboy bebop.
but how are they able to do it? was it made in the us so they have the license to it or something? Imean I would've liked a bonus episode epilogue to eureka 7

>>159231674
>well at least its this one and not cowboy bebop.
Thank fuck.
But Sunrise is dare enough to revive Lelouch from the grave. So, don't be so sure. Especially when they're starts running out of money.

>>159231495
I hadn't seen that one. No, I think it was one a long time ago, where someone asked them what their favorite show to air was. That might have been an interview or article, though. Or maybe I'm misremembering it.

>>159231520
I don't know why you'd consider that a loaded statement. I'm not crazy about the idea, but clearly someone out there was. Enough to fund it, at least. It could end up like this: >>159230123, it could all be QUALITY, or we could somehow luck out. The most important thing to keep in mind is that we'll never know when Venture Bros. seasons 7 will happen, fuck.

I'd like to believe that Sunrise's Hail Mary is a complete remake of 0079 with Unicorn-level visuals and the best parts of the Origin's backstory, but admittedly that's just complete wishful thinking on my part.

Turner execs probably threw money at GAINAX for the license, then contracted Production IG for production purposes.
>Imean I would've liked a bonus episode epilogue to eureka 7
And I want DtB season 2. But like that bump said, it's not about what we want.

>>159231935
What's naive about that statement? The idea that someone pushed for the sequel out of a love for the original, rather than a guaranteed return? Or that its actual quality is up in the air?

>>159231495
>We're aware that we're making a show nobody wants to see and didn't need to exist in the first place.
So, what's going to be the excuse when it's going to bomb ?

>>159232232
>The idea that someone pushed for the sequel out of a love for the original, rather than a guaranteed return?
That. This is as blatant as a cynical cashgrab gets.

>>159230005
The west can't save itself.

>>159232405
I think you're overestimating the amount of money to be made off of Western-funded anime, especially for a sequel to an older series that old fans will be skeptical about and new fans won't know anything about. Do you remember IGPX? Neither do most people.

Then again, the anime climate has changed over the years. There are more people downloading and streaming, but maybe the cashflow from Hot Topic merchandise has stayed the same or increased? I don't know much about the purchasing habits of anime fans under the age of 20 anymore.

>>159230101

Naota wanting to be an adult
that's the only ones i can think of.

>>159230005
One of my best memories as kid is rewatching flcl on my vhs. Adult swim bumpers and all. Please god do not ruin it, please.

Everyone who thinks that new seasons will ruin memories of their childhood should question if they ever grew up in first place.

>6 episodes long
>Made by Production IG
I mean, I'll watch it just because the animation will be off the charts insane I suppose

>>159233018
Oh no it's not going to ruin my previous experience of FLCL, but it's just that it's unwelcome and uneeded, it's a waste of ressources that could be put elsewhere.

>>159233018
tell me, would watching your dad boink your mom ruin memories of your childhood? if it did, did you ever grew up in the first place?

>>159233066
We're getting 12 episodes actually. Two seasons.

I'm not going to watch it. FLCL just means too much to me, I can't bear to see it degraded like this. These sort of sequel reboots are acceptable for anime like Code Geass, but FLCL transcends the medium, it doesn't deserve this.

>>159230005
As a person who's first anime was FLCL, I couldn't be more excited. Will Gainax or at least some Gainax employees be involved in the production of this series?

>>159233404
I also want to mention that the Lupin III 2015 series was great for me, which is partly why I'm excited for this. If something like Lupin III can be brought to the modern age without fault, why not FLCL?

It's disgusting to see some western group who has an unhealthy obsession to an anime they like and make an unwarranted season just because THEY want it for THEMSELVES.

I'm shitting myself but I'm excited nonetheless. I hate the fact that it seems like it's gonna be a retread of the original. Diebuster for all intents and purposes is already the sequel to FLCL anyway

>>159232741
Growing up, puberty, sex, dicks. FLCL/foolycooly/furikuri is literally some made-up slang for Sex in the show, most of the time.

tommorow today or tommorow tommorow?

i just started this, on ep 3.

this show better be as fappable as it was when we were 10 year olds i wont watch it if it's not made for "adults" like me

>>159230052

Coolness. Maturity. Machines in domestic life in an increasingly mechanized world. The media and its impact on reality, particularly how stupid it makes you. Alienation. Potential/creativity. Western influence creating the sense of an exciting expansive world. It ties all these themes together.

L O V E is the big one tho.

>>159233482
Except Lupin III was already getting movies quite often. And Lupin III's format means that you can do pretty much anything you want with it. It's adventure from adventure, it doesn't end.
Meanwhile FLCL is a self-contained story, Naota's story is over, you can't continue it. Heck even the menace from the aliens have been dealt with. If you want a sequel you need new main characters and a new big bad, wich mean it won't be FLCL anymore. It's like making a Tristan & Ysolde 2, it makes no sense.

>>159233698
You can finish it right now anon, 3 episodes isn't that long.

>>159233541
Yeah, it's pretty revolting. Fuck this Adult Swim Jason DeMarco faggot.

>>159233482
Lupin III has had a new movie or special nearly every year for 40 years.

>>159233946
no i know i can finish it, i'm asking if this unveil is tomorrow as in today or tomorrow as in tomorrow.

>>159233946
>>159233991
Yes, I know that but how long has it been since we've gotten a proper Lupin III series? I consider The Woman Called Fujiko Mine to be more of a spin-off than anyway.

>>159233482
I thought the Blue Jacket series was really stale and conservative.

>>159234196
Indeed, but like I said it's like Osomatsu-san. It's not a serie where the character was ever finished, it can easily be brought back. Whereas FLCL is completely different.
It's like Top wo Nerae ! 2 wich had little to do with Top wo Nerae and was more of a proto-TTGL than a Gunbuster sequel.

>>159234208
Was it? It never felt that way to me. I just saw it as another Lupin III show which I enjoyed throughly, even if some episodes felt a bit more slow than others.

>>159234276
>It's like Top wo Nerae ! 2 wich had little to do with Top wo Nerae and was more of a proto-TTGL than a Gunbuster sequel.

If anything it was more like a spiritual successor to FLCL.

>>159233541
>>159233968
Come on guys. If I'm as rich as Uncle Bill, I'd probably pay Kyoani to adapt the rest of Nichijou manga into anime.

The only thing I'm hoping for out of this is more Canti merch. Even then I'm still expecting to be disappointed.

>>159234339
I guess it did share the whole "growing up" theme, wich wasn't present in the first serie (or at least presented in a completely different way).
>>159234476
At least that makes sense though.

>>159234579
Its irreverent humour and romance focus as well. It's general stupidity. And shit coming out of people's foreheads. I watched it for the first time about a year ago and it felt like meeting an old friend again.

>>159230005
woah woah woah, what unveil, like a PV? Or like a whole fucking episode?

Holy shit my heart's not ready for this.

>>159234746
Just a "trailer". Could be 20 seconds long for all we fucking know

>>159232741
>It had themes?
The Medical Mechanica logo is "小人" upside down, which is "child" in Japanese.
The Atmisk logo is "大人" upside down, which is "adult" in Japanese.

If it's shit, it's shit. All it will do is just strengthen the idea that filthy gaijin shouldn't touch anime. It won't ruin the original for me.

As good ol' Keiji Inafune once said, "It's better than nothing.

>>159235088
Its still made by nips. However they're completely different people, other than Sadamoto providing some character designs. That's what worries me the most. And the guy who's directing it has mainly been a live-action guy in the past, which is odd considering how the original was so purely an "animation" thing.

>>159234579
>I guess it did share the whole "growing up" theme, wich wasn't present in the first serie (or at least presented in a completely different way).

99% of Japanese anime is about growing up. They have a strong fear towards that if the constant teen high school anime are any indication.

>>159235088
I thought Adult swim was right in my wheelhouse when I was a teenager. A part of me wants to say that old Adult Swim was better, less pandering, and just plain funnier.
Then again, maybe im just getting old. But im still only 25 and thats right in the middle of their target demographic of 18-32 so I shouldn't be feeling this disconnect this early. I have to agree though, adult swim marketing the past 3-4 years has just been awful. Their bumps get more and more cringe by the month, and I hate using that word but its unironically 'cringe'.

Season 2 was trash though

>>159235213

Old Adult Swim WAS better, but not just because of nostalgia. The bulk of their programming was airing shows that were airing elsewhere. Bebop, Mission Hill, Home Movies, Space Ghost, etc. The few shows they did produce in-house is what set the foundation for what they are now.

Aqua Team went on for way too long, Brak Show should've never existed, and they got too far up their own ass with Sealab and Frisky Dingo towards the end. Now they just give anyone a lump sum of time and money and let them do whatever the fuck they want. Sometimes it's worth it like the older Venture Bros seasons, but we usually get shit that enables Reddit and Morty or anything Tim and Eric touch.

>>159230005
It's not going to be as good as the original, but I'm still looking forward to it.

>>159235786
they're animating sandnigger anime atm

>>159236296
It seems cute, but compared to what they've done in the past, I doubt it'll be one of the better anime Gainax has produced.

I think that would be more in the spirit of the original, to create an experience that you can't find anywhere else in anime rather than try to replicate something 17 years old.

>>159241340
The staff is still japanese anon.

>>159241534
I know, but I don't like this whole "westerners funding anime" thing. It should exclusively be a medium (or subset of a medium or whatever you want to call it) for Japanese otaku.

>>159241498
I'm with you on this one. Doing the same thing over again is just gonna end up creating a show forever remembered as "the not-as-good FLCL".

Please don't fuck it up

Please don't fuck it up

PLEASE DON'T FUCK IT UP

>>159241579
Westerners funding anime is old as fuck though. In the 80's there were multiple series co-produced with the USA, France and other countries. There even were anime made to appeal to western kids. You're 30 years too late. Western money isn't suddenly going to SJWfy anime, especially since it would be rejected by their core audience wich is still and will always be japanese people.

>>159230005
If it doesnt have the same studio and writers of course its gonna suck

>>159241579
Ghost in the Shell 1995 was funded by Westerners

>>159241753
The difference was that in the 80s there weren't special American interests group who state in no uncertain terms that they want to change anime to fit modern liberal standards. If I stop seeing loli or fanservice in Japanese media in the future, I'm done - you fucks can have it.

>>159241579
>it should exclusively be a medium for degenerate nerds

how about no?

>>159241886
I think they're slowly gonna move away from loli anyway and it's not the USA's fault, or at least it's not caused by their direct influence.

>>159241886
good riddance

>>159241886
Good thing those american interests have no power over japanese otaku culture then.

I get all the themes and the message and shit but it just didn't come off as entertaining and relatable. The only Gainax stuff I liked is KLK but that's Trigger, TTGL is also kinda good but disappointing cause it's overhyped as fuck.

>>159242144
Why would you replicate it? Obviously the safe stance isn't blow your budget on 5 episodes of an experimental piece. I heavily doubt they could even spend the kind of money to CGI everything like FLCL.

When it works its pretty good but most of the time its a clusterfuck.

I guess that most of the people really like it and because it was so diferent from what it aired at CN at the time.

Wait, production I.G. is making this?!
Why is everyone worried? It's guaranteed to be shit, and it's safe to avoid completely.
I know IG makes good shows, but top tier animation is essential to FLCL, and nothing IG ever produced matches FLCL's style. Trigger would have been a better choice considering Luluco had hints of FLCL it it's style

>>159241579
I wonder if they're gonna cut down on the obscure japanese references, so it will be easier to dub it this time around.

But who's the Director?

>The anime is the first directorial effort from Kazuya Tsurumaki, who served as assistant director on the Neon Genesis Evangelion television anime and would go on to direct the new Evangelion films.

I'm on the fense. Still didn't see the new Eva movies

>>159243209
Digital animation is not necessarily CGI

>>159243244
And all racecars don't use v12s doesn't make them not racecars.

>>159232741
It still surprises me how people can watch 6 episodes of popular entertainment and still have it fly over their heads. No wonder handholding is so popular in both videogames and storytelling these days.

>>159243241
Tsurumaki directed the original. The new director did the Psycho-Pass movie and lots of live-action stuff.

>>159243291
That's not even a remotely acceptable analogy you classic faggot.

>>159243209
No it wasn't. It was hand drawn on paper scanned into a computer and then handled digitally from there. The same way almost every anime is made today. It's only notable as a digital production because it was around the time the industry was making the switch to digital from cels.

>>159243030
They did, it was a Gainax/I.G co-production. But much of FLCL's visual identity was thanks to Imaishi's involvement and Gainax staff.

>>159243351
To who you? Are you the person who controls what's CGI and what isn't? Point stands it wasn't hand drawn animation.

I'm mostly scared. Though the only thing keeping me going is the possibility it can pull a Diebuster (I know some will think that's bad). I'm curious what people thought back then with that 14 years later making a 2nd OVA. This is even longer. I just hope they can keep the insanity up that came from a lot of the Gainax minds that are no longer there. As a story though I hope for the best, but I'm not holding my breath..

>>159243409
FLCL was hand drawn and scanned into a computer using digitial software so that it can be colored and edited into a film. Thats not the same as CGI animation you stupid fuck.

>>159243569
then that anon's doubly retarded

>>159243444
He also worked on storyboards for other episodes if Im not mistaken. My point is that the visual side of things is definitely Gainax, with Sadamoto, Yoshinari, Imaishi and others.

>>159243569
alright here's a weird thing that might be totally off the mark but I'll say it here

I know Edgar Wright has watched and likes FLCL, and he was originally involved with the Ant-Man movie.

There's a bit in Peyton Reed's movie where Ant-Man shrinks and flips over the end of a handgun that reminded me of this sequence.

Was this an idea Wright storyboarded and Reed retained or am I just a retard?

By the sounds of it's just going the Last Exile/Soul Eater route of "make a sequel but use kawaii girls instead!!!"

The original was specifically about Noata being a boy going through puberty, it's barely FLCL if it's not got a core coming-of-age analogy running through it.

>>159230262
>but it will be popular
Remember the Big O season two? [adult swim] had a hand in that too.

>>159243508
>Scanned with color passes
>Not CGI

Hurrr

>>159243612
Considering it's defined as cgi it is. Unless you're the authority on what constitutes cgi.

>>159230005
If anything, it won't be as good as Diebuster. Now, that is a sequel that is one of the best.

>>159243709
>FLCL but with a girl
So, Kill la Kill but short and to the point?

>>159243781
I really hope you're not being ironic because I believe that 100%.

>>159243637
Even today anime being drawn digitally is the exception. Mostly its only young up and coming animators that do it and a few studios who are really into it like Tatsunoko and Signal.MD. The kinds of animators working on FLCL have largely never touched a tablet of any kind for animating in their careers. Maybe Shinya Ohira did for his Wanwa the Puppy short film and perhaps Mitsuo Iso did for Hana and Alice but really back in 2005 pretty much nobody was doing this kind of thing in the mainstream anime industry and for a large part of the industry hardly anyone draws digitally today either.

>>159243735
CGI animation is animation generated on a computer. The animation here is animation generated by hand drawing on paper and pencil not a computer. Learn some basic terminology before getting involved in this kind of discussion.

>>159243797
KLK is nothing like FLCL.

>>159243715
big O was boring melodramatic batman nobody liked it outside of /a/

>>159243607
I liked how Diebuster was more a spiritual successor than a direct sequel for the most part until its amazing tie-in with the ending. My worry with FLCL2 is that return of the old characters might only sully people's memory of them (if they're characterized poorly) as well as getting in the way of developing the new characters.

I have pretty low expectations about the sequel, but as long as they can do a zany coming-of-age story that can coherently develop the main character throughout the whole episode rather than rushing/cramming everything into the last 3 episodes like most series try to do, I'll be at least half-satisfied.

>>159232701
>I think you're overestimating the amount of money to be made off of Western-funded anime
A show that was a minor cult-hit in the states and not very big in Japan is now some kind of money printer? Ok dude

It'll at least be an OVA series like the original, right? With only as much episodes as it needs to tell the story.

>>159243777
By that logic every modern animation is CGI.

You're stupid as fuck.

>>159230920
Ever since Toonami got revived from the dead. DeMarco mind is stuck on the fact that everyone like the classics and thought if he funded his fanfic to production I.G., then everyone will somehow praise him for "bringing back a classic into mainstream with a new season".

>>159243926
Reading Comprehension: The Post

>>159243797

Kill la Kill had some FLCL tones but it's a different beast entirely.

The only way I can see an FLCL working is if it appeals to the audience who were teenagers back when it first came out. A perspective of modern working life right now, through the same lens.

The problem is I don't see how you could make it as funny, or if the themes even work without the adolescent perspective.

>>159241579
Have fun with that in 40 years when there are no Japanese left to sell to

>>159243829
You do realize a lot of the 2D animation was digitally created and not drawn in the scans right? Thats still CGI. The entire manga scene was practically entirely CGI, despite using 2D images, by layering CGI on top of it, where do you think the budget went? On a nice scanner for coloring? Kek.

>>159242827

Visually yes,it fucking works and its gorgeous.

But in the narrative side it crams way to many themes(misleading people to think the show is deep) and there are tons of setups that their payoffs were either undeveloped,
underwhelming or lost on translation.

You could argue that this kind of confusion it creates adds to experience of growing up and fits the show but I take as hack writing.


In order to pinpoint them I would require to watch it again but I am not willing to do it for the sake of an autistic discussion.


But at the same time there are memorable scenes were everything fits and you could clearly see what they were going for.


Just to mention a few when they do the manga gag(both),Most of Mamimi screentime,the ending and first episode(as a whole, its bretty good).

>>159243958
Colouring things digitally is a type of CGI but the real problem with this guy is that he doesn't seem to understand the distinction between CGI and CGI animation.

>>159241886
>implying Japan isn't super conservative and won't start cracking down on this kind of crap that's making their country look like a bunch of pedos

>>159244004
No, it can have great animation, some good jokes, a goat character design and then it appeals to lots of people, just look at how nowadays everything is moved by character design.
oh and the music

>>159243958
Modern animation has nothing to do with sometime made in 2000, when the techniques used were entirely considered CGI. But you wouldn't know that because your balls are probably still dropping.

>>159244051
>manga scene
You look at that scene and see something you think cost alot? It's literally panning over hand drawn images, a few lines in the background and camera shake effects.

>>159244099

>>159244064

>>159244197
why are you arguing with idiots?

>>159244197
Plenty of the time it actually is though. Sure picking a colour and painting it isn't CGI, but running the scene through filters in post processing that alter the colouration? That is a form of CGI, not a form of CGI animation though.

>>159231674
I think [adult swim] did try to get Cowboy Bebop, however, Watanabe told them it's not happening. And to let viewers come to their own conclusions if Spike died or is dreaming.

>>159244060
The surface narrative and main theme, Naota's maturity of lack thereof, is the focus throughout. There are undertones and underlying themes as well but they are always complementary and never really tangle into the confusion that you describe. There are wacky hyperactive scenes that are a bit nonsensical yeah, but they almost always tie into the main theme I just mentioned.

I'd recommend you watch it again just for the pleasure rather than an autistic discussion. There are no dud payoffs in FLCL.

You're right I should stop.
They are clearly too dumb to be reasoned with

>>159244145
Can't tell if this is bait but Tsurumaki said in the commentary that it was extremely difficult and that it wasn't easy convincing staff to do it again in episode 6.

>>159244430
The characters actually say it in the show.

>>159244430
Honestly seems like something you could do quite easily at home in the modern day and age. There is very little actual animation involved in it and a few easy to apply effects for the most part. Maybe it was harder for them to do back then and have look good not really understanding the digital techniques so well. It may be visually striking and strong scene but it isn't particularly amazing or difficult looking in terms of the animation in any sense.

>>159244060
>misleading people to think the show is deep

Impressionable children are always going to think that anything with symbolism and metaphors is something deeper than what they're used to. It's not the show trying to trick or mislead people.

I just don't understand why people want to be so defensive when a show like this has undertones and themes which people may or may not call "deep". Any time this happens, armchair critics are quick to call writing mediocre because its themes are either too subtle or not subtle enough.

>>159231944
>Haruko is after a female
>yuri shit
>excepting anything good out of yurishit
With how allegorical the original FLCL was, the only person who can execute yuri and allegory right is Kunihiko Ikuhara.

>>159244641
It's made for the american normalfag audience, it won't be yuri.
The most likely scenario is that the girl MC will be infatuated with an older guy, and Haruko will pretend to go after him to rile her up.

>>159244784
Not gonna lie that sounds fun.

Haruko being a man in this iteration would be quite cool as well.

>>159244784
That's way too reasonable, however, I'll believe it.

>>159244406

Backlog its pretty big my dude, I might rewatch just to shit on new one once it releases.

But as for now I still stand on my point, I would love to delve further but I wont for now.

Good shit anon,see you on the shitpost for the new season.

>>159230005
My biggest fear is that it'll focus too much on the Medical Mechanica stuff.

The best part about the original was how purposefully sidelined and ignored the surface "plot" was, because Naota didn't care about it.

At least we'll get more Sadamoto designs.

I'm actually scared to rewatch the original because I know it won't live up to my memory. Same with Eva, they say it's a show you have to watch as a teenager to get the full effect. You need that turbulent brain chemistry to appreciate it.

I'M FUCKING HYPED GET READY FOR ANIME OF THE DECADE BOYS

>>159245075

If Trigger was handling this then maybe I'd be a little more hyped, but Production IG? Just.. Why?

>>159245075
I'm 21 and I still love it just as much as when I first watched it when I wass 11 just because it's a well-made, great piece of animation.

>>159245075
When I first saw FLCL as a teenager, I didn't understand shit about it and just loved the music and atmosphere.

Evangelion is very different though. It's very good as a monster-of-the-week anime and Misato is still the best character.

>>159245129
I don't know, I got the point of FLCL pretty good as a teenager, non the of themes mentioned in this thread flew over my head.
I didn't fully get NGE because I watched that even younger still, but I don't know if getting the whole deconstruction of anime thing it was doing would have added to my enjoyment beyond watching something a fucked up Annon made while also feeling fucked up.
Basically, there's "getting it", and then there's the pure surge of domapine

>>159245215
I think it's hard to really appreciate the animation when you're younger, so if anything, I enjoy it even more now.

>>159244641
I love all the Ikuharashit, but he handles allegory and symbolism in a much more blatant way than FLCL did.

>>159245075
FLCL isn't the best anime ever, but it is the only perfect anime ever

Is Yoji Enokido writing again?

>>159244060
>(misleading people to think the show is deep)
FLCL never tried to be deep. The narrative is actually rather straightfoward exploring Naoto's maturity and growth.

Tsurumaki never expected Westerners to gravitate to FLCL because of how very Japanese it is. He said a show like South Park is foreign to Nips as FLCL is to Westerners. Gainax staff at the time loved South Park despite not uderstanding the satire behind some of the episodes. He thought that's how Westerners would feel watching FLCL alienated and foreign.

>>159230005
Everyone is afraid of this remake. Maybe the super low expectations will actually make people enjoy it when it comes out if it's actually half-way decent.

It's a death sentence for them if they fuck up the music though.

>>159245436
Nope.

>>159245436
It's some Nip name Hideto Iwai.

Enokido is with Khara now.

>>159244784
That would have potential. A cool older girl to a boy like Naota means unrequited love, but to a girl it's usually portrayed as equal parts role model and rival. Not sure if Haruko's personality is best suited for that, though.

>>159249296
>Not sure if Haruko's personality is best suited for that, though

There's a scene in episode 3 where Haruko riles up Ninamori by petting Ta-kun's cat ears.

>>159252172
It's 12 episodes long, but split into two 6 episode cours, so pretty much like the original OVA

>>159252202
Tsurumaki is directing.

there's quite a lot
the ending is totally different. a lot more tragic.
there's a whole escapade where they go and watch grandpa play croquet, with a flashback to him as a child during the american occupation
naota kills his father
mamimi controls the hand robot from episode 5 with her own N.O. powers (I think).
amarao and kitsurubami are basically appear in one panel and are told to fuck off by grandpa as he's not interested in naota's "talent" because it isn't at baseball
atomsk appears in a totally different way and the ending is very very very abstract
It has a very different feeling from the anime. More gritty and bleak. I like it a lot.

>>159252005
Get better standards, newfriend. When was the last time you actually watched the dub?

English dub still has problems with unnatural timing, directionless line reads, and awkward translations. Sure the casting is pretty good and they deliver some good scenes, but it's FAR from the Japanese dub in quality, let alone being perfect.

>>159252142
More of that voice is always great.
She's my favorite VA

>>159252578
Lol, but dub fags be like >>159246390

>>159252578
I only realized recently she plays Tsubasa in Kare Kano. She's a legend

>>159252760
m8 don't hate on Wahlgren's Haruko. She made it her own imo. Same with Sheh's Mamimi.

>>159251754
Things that can't handle humans and won't be able to for another 15 years at the minimum.

Even if said wombs were ready to go, that's only half the problem. The other half is Japan's horrendous work culture and people not wanting kids
>>159251895
>It's not the lowest on Earth
Which is why i said it was "one of the lowest"

>>159252527
Don't jump to conclusions about anime experience here, I can't help the facts, i've seen FLCL upwards of 20 times and 12 or so of those times dubbed, it's perfect.

>>159231791
You're correct.

It was at least 8 years ago, but one of their bumps was "FLCL was the best show we ever aired."

Is the panel going on now? Seeing no buzz about anything on Twitter.

>>159253344
no

>>159253344
6pm EST

>>159230005
>Also.... who ready for Naota to be the next commander amarao and out of jealousy and madness hunt down haruko the same way amarao did

So basically the (superior) manga ending?

>>159251532
>jap population drops
>worst thing that happens is real estate price collapse due to masses of empty rural homes.


The only thing that will save japan is 10 million africans to come and give the police force a reason to exist amirite?

>>159230005
Worried but optimistic.
Thing is that when I first watched it I was still a teen (can you believe it's been around 17 years?) which is probably the best time to watch a show like this.
I'm in my thirties now.

Also, it has good english dub.
Frigging contrarians I swear, these guys are so obsessed with their grorious nippoese dubs that they probably watch the simpsons in japanese too.

This is like trying to remake Trigun without Kuroda, Ranma without Takahashi, or Excel Saga without Nabeshin or Rikdo.

Shit is not going to work. At all. It's an attempt at a quick cash-grab by AS.

>>159253818
In fairness, this is how DeMarco responded to this accusation: how much of a cash-grab could it be with something like FLCL? This isn't The Hangover 2, its a weird Japanese cartoon about robots coming out of a child's head.

>>159253597
>watching the Simpsons in any language past 1993

>>159252390
The manga might as well be a different story entirely. Also that porn stash in the abandoned house was fucking gold.

Yeah, this is really calming, they totally won't fuck this up. These fellas are surely as talented as Tsurumaki and Enokido. Fuck my life.

>>159243703
Perhaps.

Wright loves throwing in subtle stuff that he likes in his films if it's appropriate.

I also highly recommend Baby Driver. It was excellent.

You've got to be kidding me.

>>159254064
>zero writing experience on something as character-dependent as FLCL

They realize, of course, that it's the the insanity of the setting or the action that makes FLCL good, right? It's the characters. It's their interaction between each other INSIDE the setting.

This is going to be a holocaust.

I mean I can't hate too much on dub VAs since they are fucked from the start, being compared to the original.
That being said, why would anyone even want a dub?

What the fuck happened to Tsurumaki coming back?

>>159254458
He's just supervising, I think.

>>159254153
He didn't put it in those retarded terms. Basically he said its not like FLCL is a franchise in massive demand and they aren't going to be making a ton of money from it.

>>159254457
Most people saw the dub when it aired in 2003, that's how I saw it. It makes sense if it's the same VA's, unless of course you're some underage elitist fag.

>>159254220
Yeah that's its biggest flaw. Its already abstract enough without the art and panel layout confusing things even more. I think some of it is genius though
I love the part where Naota swings the bat at his fathers head and the next panels show someone on grandpa's baseball team hitting a homer

>>159254272
In fairness he has mainly wrote and directed theater. He'll probably have a good grasp on characterisation and interaction (hopefully).

Is anyone streaming this garbage?

>>159255021

>>159254619
The odd panels is what made it so good. Hell the abstract pages are the best parts.

>>159254275
The Psycho Pass Movie was great, an improvement over S2.

I feel like FLCL is one of the only things in anime where an even argument can be made onwhether or not the anime or the manga is better.

>>159255171
That spread is absolutely magic. Reminds me of Dr Seuss for some reason. I also really like the bit where Mamimi is walking through town and the art shifts to grotesque extreme close-ups of the townspeople.

I agree with you, I really like Ueda's style, especially when he's experimenting with layouts. But at times its almost too messy to comprehend. Particularly the action scenes.

>>159255509
I like that it's messy, you have to go back and everytime you see something new and a little differently than you did before. I've probably read it as many times as I've watched it.

>>159255111
probably someone on periscope like last year.

How many hours left?

Actually they've been trying to get a sequel going since it ended on the block in 2003 and Gainax told them rightfully to fuck off but once I.G. bought the license from them 4 years ago AS went to them again and the sequel was greenlighted. So the reason why we haven't gotten a sequel up until now is artistic integrity which makes sense since FLCL was something made for the hell of it which a sequel is just shitting on that aspect.

>>159231734
1. ) We're getting new Code Geass because of Taniguichi and Okouchi not Sunrise since its in celebration for the 10th anniversary

2.) Sunrise is the second most profitable studio in Japan after Toei they don't need a Code Geass sequel to stay afloat when they have fucking Gundam and Love Live in fact I'll say they've become far to complacent with them in recent years hence why they haven't made a new franchise in years and have essentially become a Gundam factory.
>>159231964
>to be fair CG had an Inception-like ending for some viewers
No it was pretty fucking obvious what happened. Lelouch died so they're "resurrecting him" hence the subtitle so just chalk it up toe Okouchi being a hack as usual than anything.

Afaik, FLCL performed poorly in Japan, was it really just Adult Swim that gave it its cult status?

Okay, I'll help to make this thread still afloat I guess.
