They don't even look like they're from the same show.
>>159276268
Is the right just footage from the original FLCL?
>>159276515
It was shown in the new trailer for S2, so I'm assuming not.
>>159276515
No, it's a brand new animation.
>>159276268
This image triggers me, and makes he hate the mc so much.

wow looks better than I expected
amazed they got The Pillows to do soundtrack again
and adult swim seems to be involved at least tangentially, good for them
also there's a s3 too? what?
>>159276268
My thoughts exactly.
>left
I thought it was a ReLife special.
>>159277142
It's not like they disappeared. They're still cranking shit out on the regular, like, an album every year or two.
Hell, they're not completely absent from anime either. They did the ED for the Sket Dance anime.
Yfw it's a plot point
>>159277142
Isn't Adult Swim hosting the English dub? They give a lot of leeway to their content creators for the most part which is nice, especially if you're doing an action show or something like FLCL.
And yeah, hearing The Pillows gave me gossebumps.
>>159276268
>cat ear headphones
That better be Ninamori.
>>159276268
It was from an interview said original character designer sakamoto only did some characters, others are designed by another guy.
>>159277447
Adult Swim basically commissioned FLCL2 and FLCL3
It didnt really do that well in the East but it did phenomenally well in the West
>>159278305
found it
>>159277447
I still think Adult Swim could make big bucks if they ran subbed anime one night a week. There's a huge market of people who have that channel but wouldn't ever watch dubbed anime.
Maybe just simulcast the noitaminA block or something.
>>159276268
If they actually make a point of a 2010's A1-lookin character being shocked by a early 2000's old school character's appearance, I'll be so happy. I want them to do something with the clash between old and new.
You guys are so use to consistent art-styles that you forgot that some directors change their art-style during certain scenes. This is all that's happening, the style is changing when Right shows up to signify something.
>>159276268
>Those headphones
>Wearing them in school
Come on. Such a merchandise cashgrab it's pathetic.
>>159276268
>EU POPULATON print on the wall
fuck this shit up
>>159276268
If it weren't for the fucking obnoxious looking headphones then I'd be 100% on board with this.
>>159276268
And if they did they would be accused of sameface
>>159280658
>hurrr it'z a cashgrab
God you people are faggots
>>159276268
The girl looks so fucking boring and shitty I have to assume it's intentional and has a deeper meaning beyond shit. At least the Pillows are back.
Character designer is still Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Royal Space Force: The Wings of HonnĂȘamise, Gunbuster, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL, the Rebuilds of Evangelion, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga that was serialized between 1994 and 2013), so I think that the subdued color palette is definitely intentional.
>haruko comes back from space just the same as when she left
>new kids shes trying to use and abuse are anime steroetypes from current year
>hilarity ensues
why is this confusing to you retards
I still can't understand why so many of you get so angry at bad revivals.
I've seen some of my favorite childhood series receiving lame / uninteresting / outright terrible modern sequels / revivals and my only answer has always been "meh". What's the point of being mad at something unimportant?
>>159282021
Fuck off. Naota looked fairly normal compared to the rest of the characters too and her design is classic Sadamoto God i hate when faggots bitch for the sake of bitching
>>159282072
>why is this confusing to you retards
>you retards
You just answered your own question.
>>159282081
They're making an assumption that it will be bad based on a short trailer full of quick cuts with no real context. I would love it if this was to FLCL what Diebuster is to Gunbuster
>>159282097
Naota had bright clothing and an expressive face. I hope the new girl opens up more instead of looking indifferent for the whole story.
>>159282072
Fuck off triggerfag, go suck off aniplex's dick
>>159282097
You can look normal and still have a good design. She looks like shit anon, I don't care who designed her, she looks boring and forgettable. I actually had to scroll up and look at her again to remember what she looked like while I was replying to this.
>>159282097
Even considering the artstyle, Naota's design/silhouette is much more memorable than this girl, who looks like generic LN girl adaption 41675 'now with cat headphones'
Only hoping that they're doing it intentionally for comedic purposes.
>>159276268
This shit looks bad and unnecessary.
Dangerous to have Americans on charge of Anime
>>159276268
Different atmosphere and emphasis.
>>159276268
She does look completely out of place, as if she wondered in from some other anime.
Well I didn't have high expectations to begin with, so can't say I'm all that disappointed.
>>159276268
There going to be a scene like with Ninamori where she takes off the headphones, only to reveal that they are actually ear muffs.
Oshiyama being on the staff is the only thing that even excites me at all about this.
>>159278593
I'm pretty sure most of the people that prefer subs over dubs would just download their anime to watch it. Plus, they'd probably alienate more of their audience than attract since I'm almost positive most of them prefer dubs to subs. Still, Adult Swim is pretty good with their dubs. I actually prefer the English Space Dandy over the Japanese ones.
>>159276268
Naota was an extremely "normal" protag.
If our protag for this is some borderline autistic girl that thinks she can get away with those headphones (they're real and sold commonly in the US), maybe she'll be relatable for some people as well
>>159282097
The problem isn't the design it's the style.
Naota and the others had a rather normal design but the FLCL/Gainax style, you can see them and their expressions and know that they aren't from a generic show. This girl here could be from almost every fucking anime ever and her drawing style is completely different from Haruko.
>>159276268
The girl on the left reminds me of Ueno.
Fucking picked up.
>>159276268
She honestly looks like a background character. Not very creative desu.
>>159276268
If this season isn't an elaborate metaphor for puberty from a female perspective I'm gonna fucking lose it.
>>159282072
Because faggots need something to overact.
>>159282149
diebuster was kinda disappointing desu senpai
What's the point of these dumbass headphones anyway
>Headphones are made for personal listening so no one else hears your music
>Speakers are made for sharing music with everyone
>Speaker quality is probably shit
>Whoever buys these is probably listening to weeb music so no one wants to here it anyway
>>159276515
No, that looks way cleaner.
Was I the only one expecting the main girl to be like the same age as Naota or something?
>>159286856
I was expecting middle school second year to high school first year.
>>159276268
Because we never see a shot with her drawn head on with two nostrils and the only shot where she has any expression she's way in the background. Most of the other characters have shots that look fine stylistically though. And I'm sure we'll get some exaggerated expression from her at some point. I'm not worried.
>>159276268
Is this shit really necessary? The art does not even look good, it looks like a generic design
>>159286750
They're a fashion accessory.
>>159286750
When you're too cool to talk to people but you want them to see you listening to things that aren't them.
>>159287560
Was the first FLCL necessary?
Worst case it's shitty and the first FLCL is still awesome. Best case we get more awesome FLCL.
>>159278434
>Adult Swim basically commissioned FLCL2 and FLCL3
Aaaand dropped.
Anime commisioned by America? No thank you
>>159276268
Is that Haruko's son or something on the right or have I just figured out why modern computers making keeping track of your character's head size so you don't have to just draw whatever looks good to make it fit is going to make this awkward and offputting to watch for people who got used to watching anime on Adult Swim before you could pause every frame and make funny memes with deformed betweens.
>>159287631
Jesus. We already know about that since the first announcement project, pleb.
>>159287771
lol what? Is this some kind of shitty "manface" argument?
>>159282699
Aren't you gonna drop this because he's in on it?
>>159287567
>>159288282
The headphones are the least of that guy's problems.
