Fuuuuuck. This reeks of a ratings grab. Why else would they think we needed more FLCL? What we got was self-contained and satisfying.

APRIL FOOLS

Why does FLCL need more seasons? It was complete. It did everything it needed to in 6 episodes.

What? Big O season 2 looked like an OVA compared to the cheapness of season 1.

Why?

Why does there have to be more? Why can't something that was good be left alone?

I don't know why or how but i read FLCL as IGPX.

Hell, does anyone in Japan aside from the Gainax team REMEMBER FLCL?

>>81062430
but that's wrong.

No.

No.

No.

FUCKING NO.

It cannot be good.

>>81062430
It... did and didn't.

The thing was an extended metaphor for puberty... like most of Gainax's stuff...

How much of the Space Police/Pirate King Atomosk stuff really needs to be fleshed out... well, I don't know.

I'll watch it, but I'm not sure if I'm happy or disturbed that there'll be more FLCL...

>In 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?

I used to think this too. The story is tight nearly all loose ends closed after 6 episodes but then I watched gunbuster and then diebuster about 5 years ago and disbuster is basically loosely based around FLCL and I really am curious what they can do next for the series. Seriously watch Gunbuster and diebuster and see for yourselves. Love it or hate it I think they might have ultimately influenced this upcoming sequel.

why didn't you just throw some money to the people who made FLCL and get something new and interesting out of it

So... they're going to try to repeat the show, but with Haruko in the teacher role... and with a girl this time.

Lovely. Oh, and they're going to try to play up Medical Mechanica as a big evil... They represented the way school and society at large try to force you to conform, to not think and just go with the flow. Haruko was the older, rebelious deliquent girl that blew into town one day, and upset the dull order, but was ultimately a selfish bitch, yet the boy on the cusp on manhood couldn't help by fall for this outrageous influence on his life. Then she flies off, as quickly as she came.

Gainax as we knew it is dead, spread across Studio Khara and Trigger. Also, FLCL was a c0-production between IG and Gainax at the time, so it's not like it's being shipped off to people who had no involvement before.

>>81065176
Because more isn't always a good thing. And with FLCL I think it's because it's so short and unique that it works.

A sequel would just try and do the stuff the original did, meaning it's not as good because it's not unique anymore. It's just "HEY REMEMBER THIS?" Sequels work when there's something more to say, like with Digimon Tri, it's there to fill in the gap between 02 and the epilogue. Or with Toy Story 3 where they answer the question posed in 2, will Andy always love Woody. What more needs to be done with FLCL?

We're can't say its A BAD SEQUEL when all we've read was a basic overview of the first 10 minutes of an episode that is meant to come out in early 2018.

If you look into the production history for FLCL you will find that the production was a nightmare and its amazing such a beloved series was even conceived let alone produced. Besides the fact that Gainax is pretty much Trigger now minus a few I can understand people being upset in that department too. I hope they get trigger on it. I honestly don't see any other studio handling such a weird off the wall style besides trigger.

No?
Season two was made at the absolute dawn of digital animation. The paint and colour pallette of the whole show went from noir to washed out low saturation shit. The Megadeus action scenes were animated traditionally in robot style of moving faster and normal angles as opposed to the low angles and extremely slow movement that illustrated weight and pressure from them. The actual tone got far more lighthearted and standard as opposed to the serious, darker aspects of season one, with only an episode here and there that was as heartfelt as the earlier ones.
Season two was a cool thing that happened but it was crap in comparison and the constant reuse of sequences to drive home how new and basic the digital process was at the time make it all the more apparent.

>>81067828
Good is definitely too strong a word but it's very telling that the franchise is the only thing they've been involved with recently that wasn't complete and utter dogshit.

If they're continuing it, turning it into an anthology story about Haruko appearing to different kids was probably the best way to do it. I assume season 3 will have a different kid, hence the split.

As far as I can see, the options for continuing FLCL were either follow Naota through the big important changes in his life or follow Haruko taking over kids lives as they enter puberty.

>>81069370
FLCL premiered in Japan in 2000. TVB premiered in 2004.

>>81069231
Even if it sucks at least it doesn't change the fact that the original was great.

I just hope it doesn't become a Big O situation, where they help fund two seasons but season 2 wasn't as successful as they'd hoped, so season 3 is scrapped. But season 2 ends with obvious lead-up to a new season that doesn't make sense without any followup. Then to add insult to injury they lose the rights to air the original season and can only play season 2 on a loop.

>>81066986

FLCL is the only thing I'm a legit fan of. I hope they won't just try and recreate it.

Gainax is great at bringing the weird, surreal feel to it. Production IG provides the consistent episode quality. So it'll look decent, but it won't be as insane plot/character-wise as the first 6 were.

Don't forget Hickman joining DC for Rebirth.

Too bad Marvel is still shit

>>81070512
the point of the series is that being a grown up is about maturity, not age, that while everyone has to grow up you can't force maturity and its okay to just be a kid while you're still a kid. the 'too good for this kid stuff' Naota is contrasted with his manchild father who never matured and the bushy brow guy who is the kind of man Naota will grow into if he keeps trying to fake maturity.

The climax is Naota setting aside all pretense and just telling the flaky alien girl he has a crush on her. She in turn finally makes a responsible decision in her life and doesn't drag the impressionable kid off to space just because he amuses her.

You could possibly argue that Atomsk, the godlike power everyone craves, is symbolic of the power of authority wielded by successful adults which childish people are envious of yet don't understand, but it could just as easily be a mcguffin and nothing more.

and the final answer is that it doesn't need a sequel.

Going back and rewatching, you notice a lot more about various characters.

Kamon is pretty interesting. He isn't what I'd call a responsible dad or anything, but he still makes the money to pay for Naota and his father, as well as being a lot more mature than he first seems. He quits his much more stable job as an editor to become a freelance writer out of grief after his wife dies, and still manages to pay for his kid to play sports abroad. He's actually pretty admirable in a weird way.

What's that one scene in the first episode where he interrogates naota about the bread mamimi bought about, though? I can't really get a meaning out of what he says to naota in that scene.

Samurai Jack didn't deserve to be brought back and FLCL doesn't need a sequel.

Seems like [as] is desperate to get viewers by pandering to people with more nostalgia than sense.

They're still as good as ever. Why the cynicism.

FLCL wouldn't be half the show it was if it wasn't for the soundtrack setting the tone.

A crazy, well animated coming of age story set to really good jap rock.

Both wrong. It's a coming of age story, not particularly hard to pick up on if you actually pay attention and look past some of the zaniness.

its tough because they did such a solid and tight job on the 6 episodes and they want a sequel stretching over 12 episodes. i dont see how they can add to something who has matured. the show was all about naota going through puberty and he's done. why do they need to continue? i have low expectations and cant wait

lol the thing on his forhead grew, so wacky and randumb XD

you take things at face value right? like have you ever looked up what magical realism is?
