Like sure, Haruko has been crashing into a bunch of kids' lives for years leaving behind tears and seaweed eyebrows and is unlikely to ever stop. But why should we want to see her do it again?

Because The Pillows. That's all I need.


Let's see if it's true or not.

i feel like at best i'll be disappointed by this. maybe there's some brilliant new spin they can put on it to make it worth dragging back up, but i'm not hopeful.

I want the new girl to smooch Haruko. Possibly hard enough to make her forget about Atomsk.

at worst it's bad and some people make some long posts about how toonami raped their childhoods and the rest of us can go on with our live maybe having lost a couple hours that we probably would've spent on a bad show anyway
and there's a chance it could be good

so is that plot summary confirmed real

because holy gently caress this is going to be bad if so

The plot summery is real, and I think there might have been a description of it on Toonami's site. But, what is inherently bad about it? I'm not saying it will be good, but it's got a new protagonist. It could do something interesting with her. It's gonna answer questions that didn't need to be answered, but I don't see what's immediately bad about that.

It's bad, because it smacks of pandering to nostalgic milennials. It's bad for the same reason why sega still making sonic games is bad

I would not mind another soundtrack by the pillows.

Given that there was only one new pillows track on the original FLCL soundtrack (Ride on Shooting Star), and there have been eleven full albums since, I think you already have it. And then some.

e: a more careful observation of their discography reveals that aside from Ride on Shooting Star, all of the tracks used came from four of the eight albums out at the time (Please Mr. Lostman through Happy Bivouac). Also a twelfth post-FLCL album will be out in seven days, meaning by the time these sequels start there will be literally three times as much new content as was used the first time.

well it's almost a complete rehash except for answering those questions and having a girl protagonist. that's a big point against it.

like, if they actually had an interesting new idea, sure, I'd be down, but... this is like the thing about The Force Awakens being A New Hope, if it was literally A New Hope instead of just similar

I mean, Haruko entering the life of a kid going through puberty is about as much as a rehash as another rag tag group of young adults and Harrison Ford traveling space to meet their destiny. I'm not saying that it won't be a complete rehash. Just that there's potential for new material and a different perspective.

the fact that the main character is a girl kind of changes a ton about the potential dynamic of the story, though

i think the bigger problem is that the writer apparently has no real credits on anything, let alone anything good. they could end up doing something really interesting with it, there's just no reason for anyone to believe that they will yet

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

i think we all need to face the reality that this show will be about everything the first show pretended to be about, and about nothing the first show was actually about

I imagine this show will not be good. Just means FLCL gets the join the ranks great shows with terrible second seasons. It's almost a genre at this point.
