Now I'm wondering if there was another, unrelated show called Knights and Magic before this season's Knight's and Magic.

FLCL 2 trailer looks cool. I am now less scared of it being bad. The Pillows make nice music and it makes for a nice soundtrack.

I don't think the first series would come off much better from a rapid-fire series of contextless 2-second clips. Part of what made the original work is the way it carried you along in its own rhythm. Hard to capture that in an ad. TBH I'm just glad they're still giving new animators a chance to completely cut loose.

I dunno man, I was hoping for something that establishes the new crew's action bonafides, and shows some ostentatious aesthetics. I know the new trailer is just a teaser but so far it just looks like Yet Another 7/10 Anime.

F is a solid, sturdy letter. Many good words begin with it, such as Fruit, gently caress, Fan, Filling, and Fire. In anime terms, it has given us Fullmetal Alchemist, the fire emblem anime, Free!, Full Metal Panic, Fruits Basket, and of course, the Fate series. Based on this pedigree, I am giving FLCL 2 a solid 8.17/10

Yeah, it is a lot easier to make a good 2 minute trailer when the show is already complete than to make a 30 second teaser early in production. That's not really demonstrated by the trailer you posted, which was bad, but it's still true

is there really any relation between the two shows and FLCL2&3? neither Yoshinari brother is attached and you've only got two dudes who did some KA on the Mob OP/one ep. seems kind of a weird/misrepresentative tangent.

To be fair, it got deeply philosophical about his need to cum. Also possibly have a normal, healthy relationship with a girl, maybe.

Didn't a goon mention a couple of posts ago that the FLCL sequel is going to have a buncha young animators working on it? Because that was my whole connection.

The isekai genre keeps getting worse. The apparent increase of late in stuff that involves slavery is a bit worrying.

i wasn't familiar with that one, since the whole "otherworlders screech and moan like orgasmic chimps in response to japanese food" thing never appealed to me. the dorks writing those wn's really don't quite understand that different cultures and nationalities have varying palates, so no person has ever been waiting their whole lives for some lovely instant curry.
