Read those, too! Was a little concerned when a couple of friends mentioned him in a conversation but the way one of them did it was like "Man, I'm so glad I dodged that bullet of working with the guy".

So Toonami aired the first episode of FLCL Alternative, if no one has mentioned that here.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/04/01/flcl-alternative-stealth-debuted-on-toonami-for-april-fools-day

e: It was. Regardless, it was awesome and I am so hyped for more.

i thought the first episode of flcl was pretty good. it felt more subdued than the original but maybe thats me misremembering the initial craziness to what it escalated to

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

There's something metaphorically fitting and somewhat distressing when comparing horses to anime/idol girls. It's pretty :smith: once you think about it; the training, use, and discard life-cycle.

That said, I've been made dumber by watching one episode of Uma Musume. The sound effects and shot composition were p good though, and they certainly did their homework with the characterizations, ...horseifications? whatever.

For those staying to watch hopefully it remains a simple lighthearted sports idol magical horse girl anime with less of male characters wanting to gently caress the horses, but yea I'm out.

also he was like the first to jump on to the post-fukushima theme but its clear that anno and shinkai were much much better at dealing with that

I was wondering why it seemed to have pretty high production values then Cygames turned up in the credits

Someone in their company really wants their anime to have high-production values is still my assumption, and they make enough money with their mobage to basically push that through

iirc they're actually legit as a company trying to use their resources to prop up their animation studio as a really big thing

I just realized I never watched the original FLCL in Japanese so Haruko's voice sounds completely wrong and it's very distracting.

Well, isn't that interesting.

Finally did some digging, and Megumi Hayashibara's playing "Haruha Raharu", which was the alias that Haruko apparently used when dealing with Amarao. And if there wasn't a VA switchup when Mayumi Shintani is coming back for the other one, that would barely draw a huh. But in context...

I'm not sure they're the same Haruko. I mean, I would not put it past Haruko to do some identity theft in pursuit of ultimate power.

She was also referred to as Raharu once in Alternative E1, but she's credited as Haruhara.

Yeah, Alternative's got Haruko Haruhara, played by the same VA as in the original. It's progressive that's doing the other angle.

And Lupin looks cartoonier than the last couple of them, at least from the OP. Doesn't quite work for me as a whole at first glance, doesn't feel like it goes for the full mini-narrative route, but it gets close enough it stands out that it doesn't go that way.

Stylish, though. Definitely going to at least check it out if I have the time.
