Alternative and Progressive were a diarrhea sundae.
Adult Swim can't just be happy they scored a weird little OVA that did very well in America, can they? They have to milk it until dust comes out.

It’s best to just be cautiously optimistic about this and not expect it to be anything like the original series or the sequels. Judge it as it’s own show that just happens to have Haruko in it rather than a FLCL sequel/spin-off

Let it rest in peace, Japan (just as like Gainax).

Hot take, but I really don’t think they were that bad, even though I wasn’t huge on alternative

anime studios don't give a sht about other countries, besides FLCL is underrated even overseas, popularity had nothing to do with them making sequels

Even just chilling and watching the show was a drag. The manga is just as bad. It has sloppy writing and forgettable characters.

I genuinely can’t imagine this getting the “vibe” of flcl right, and I think that’s the most important part. Flcl is not just about the story or the characters or the animation, it’s about the vibe. The vibe of the show is so unique and something you just have to let yourself enjoy. I don’t think that can ever be recreated. The badass melancholy insanity that flcl is can only exist in that bubbly imo

Make more seasons, or, god forbid, FINISH popular and/or good shows (Berserk, spice and wolf, no game no life, Melancholy of Haruhi)? Buy and adapt cool stories from abroad? PROPERLY open to the international market (maybe with proper, Japanese made and owned worldwide streaming service with all titles available)? No way!

Making tons of anime from the same school and isekai trash manga that no one will ever watch again? Making reboots, spinoffs, and HORRID looking 0 effort 3dcg 'anime'? Yes yes yes!

The anime industry in a nutshell.

Seriously the OP title!

My god, the first attempt should have made it clear that any attempt to capture the magic of the original was nearly impossible. (even without all the fucking bullshit shoved into the attempt) But still more!

They should be spending this money on new ANIME series. AT worst, they could be paying to get lesser known and older series dubbed.. Or to get anime series for manga series that never got them!

I took your "reasoning" and flipped it on you. You couldn't dispute the facts

My "taste" has nothing to do with the objective fact that FLCL has a good rating, ergo, most people think it's a good show

they're even using the same guitar riff from like 20 years ago. if anything this will give some promising animators a chance to flex their chops. alternative, for its many many flaws, at least had some moments of exploratory animation. im excited.

This series will go down in anime history on how not to do stuff. This series should have been left has a one off. That's it! Specially after the several horrendous seasons/re-boots whatever they made. After one disastrous new season the studio should have call it quits. 

But no, oh no, we had to milk the western woke, soyboys/green hair land whales! Go woke, get broke show and do fudge off this time for good!

As much they will try to push 3d/cg/cgi/ai and other non 2D looking animation they still all of them will be looking inferior to 2D looking anime. Unless the anime is made to be artistic, but this isn't the case.

It’s basically a copy of what they did for 7DS, except this is a more boring series in general imo.

Your optimism is admirable. It absolutely crushes my heart to see this is what FLCL has become.

If only they'd rightfully give the IP to Tsurumaki instead of it being milked by people who don't understand what made the original great in the first place. Unfortunately, we can't have nice things.

Hopefully Cartoon Network will stop milking this series that never was supposed to be a cash cow franchise, but with the current state of Toonami, I highly doubt that will happen.

I think I'm a little late to spit venom, whatever.
It's incredible how we went from two sequels that despite completely lacking in charisma, had a decent production and animation by production I.G, it's quite noticeable that they made the attempt, however they ended up interpreting the most superficial elements and did not meet expectations. So WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK ABOUT GRUNGE THEN? an underground OVA isn't supposed to become exploitable.
Let's not forget that there is still the LONG-AWAITED FLCL: SHOEGAZE

OMG... Why they keep forcing with CGI's... Is it for kids or what ? is this for the 5-8 years old kid on TV nicklodeon/disney channel? Like wtfff ..

I hated Berserk for that, Hated Kingdom for that ( fortunately the story was good and they clarify that in seasons after ), and now with FLCL ?

FLCL didn't need a sequel in the first place... If a studio take the project to do a sequel AT LEAST DO NOT RUIN IT and make an effort !! fuk i don't think i ll watch this crap...

If you take a job, do it properly.. or just don't.

Tired of this masterpiece being reduce to crap.

I'm not so much bothered by the fact that we're getting another unnecessary sequel or that it's in a shitty CGI style (which is itself very bothersome), than I am that we're one week away from its premiere and we still know so little about it, beyond the initial staff announcements and what was in the trailer. No episode count, no English cast list, no Japanese cast list, no idea if there'll even be a Japanese dub... Just the announcement staff and the trailer. Plus the first episode's title and content rating.
