Hey, they did something new and exciting with Space Dandy and now they're bringing back Samurai Jack, might as well give them the benefit of the doubt with FLCL and hope that their fourth show is something just as cool.

Uh no it is not time to give them the benefit of the doubt cause they did not make Space Dandy that was being made regardless of Toonami.

The point is, that money could have gone to something new and exciting. Or at least Attack on Titan season 2, jesus it's been a while.

as bad as FLCL S2 could be, there's no way it'd be worse than wasting more money and time on AoT

Toonami bankrolled the second half of Space Dandy, hence why they got World Premiere rights and stuff.

Last year when IG got the rights to FLCL they made a statement that they were looking to use the rights, perhaps to remake the series, so time passed and Toonami gave them the monetary push to do these new seasons, I'd assume something similar was going on with Samurai Jack that people were looking into doing more of it and Toonami offered the investment.

I know Toonami bankrolled the second half. I'm saying that even if they didn't do that, you would've had a pretty fantastic 13 episodes, but instead we got a stellar 26. However that's because Shinichi Watanabe is fuckinf amazing and so is his team. The staff for the new FLCL isn't even gonna be the same team and even the lead writer is a "supervising" role. It doesn't set off good signs and I don't have blind faith in them solely because they put money into things I like.

Okay, that's fair. I don't really care much about FLCL, but i've enjoyed Space Dandy and Samurai Jack will probably be great, so I feel like the Toonami people have a good eye on what to invest on.

Like I would still be opposed to it because I love FLCL and don't think it needs more of literally anything, but I would be willing to be the crazy guy living in the cardboard house if it was all the original staff at that point.

FLCL is one of the best coming of age stories out there and has some of the most insane and great animation in an anime, it's six episodes go watch it

Yeah like all the super nuts stuff has happened past where the anime ended (they foreshadowed a tiny bit of it) so I am really, really looking forward to a season two when it happens

Man, magilla gorilla is gonna really be something to see animated

Unless it's about how disillusioned anime protagonists become hosed up weird adults because of their hosed childhoods.

Pat left to see it three hours ago, so tension is high as he should post something on twitter soon. Anyways, this morning he said he wanted a superman toilet seat so he could piss all over it, and apparently was in a car and upon seeing a guy in a superman t-shirt he rolled the window down so he could boo him, solid twittering imo.

I disagree on any DC stuff they talk about, strictly because they refuse to watch the Tim-verse series on principle or some poo poo.

That said, Zach Synder's Superman Cinemaverse is a goddamn disaster.

Pat went on this tirade during an old podcast about how he hates western comic books because they just continue on chapter after chapter instead of having hard-set endings like mangas, and that just seemed particularly crazy to me.

No that's totally fair. What's actually crazy was Woolie trying to argue that superman is a genre and that runs are series.

Part of the reason why 90s comics were awful was because they were all written with the assumption that you had read every other comic in the line from the beginning.
