Julias, if you hadn't already made this joke at some prior ridiculous point, Autumn 2023: THE FINAL SEASON PART 3 (PART 2) is right there for the taking

with flcl i'm reminded of lilo & stitch, where it got 3 additional DTV movies (one of which was a pilot for a TV show, the third of which was a finale for the TV show), and all of them were bad and had none of the charm of the original

I was actually obsessed with that TV show as a kid but never saw either DTV movie, so Stitch's lazy long lost brother being a part of the main cast was a very "here's Toadsworth" moment

Was the show itself any good?

not really. it was trying to imitate pokemon by having a 'gotta catch 'em all' element where every episode introduced a new failed & escaped experiment, of which there were supposed to be hundreds

the glue that held the original film together was the fact that despite the science-fiction premise, the actual setting and family dynamics were down-to-earth (no pun intended) and had real personal stakes to them, so a TV show was never going to be a good followup anyway

I seem to recall there being a Stich anime series that also completely missed the point of the movie (the first episode involves Stich just abandoning Lilo bringing in a new cast instead)
this isnt true at all. its the same premise as the original movie just with okinawa instead of hawaii. theres no lilo in this universe he just crashlands in okinawa instead.

Ah, I never actually saw it but thought I heard something along those lines, nevermind (I also heard somewhere that Japanese audiences thought Lilo was kind of a brat but I’m not sure how true that is either)

Is the anime any good in that case?

it is a middling childrens anime that misses the point of the anime in a different way by having it be about a magic thing that makes stitch have to do 50 good deeds to pad out the episode count - i mean prove he is good, rather than it just being a natural development that stems from him finding a family

So the only decent Lilo & Stitch related thing is the original movie then, good to know

The one interesting idea in the American TV cartoon is that the villain from the original movie is basically in a living hell by being stuck on Earth and desperately wants to leave. It's kind of like if Team Rocket actively hated their jobs.

Got any deathsticks?
A live action remake without Ving Rhames is pointless yet that's what we get with new Lilo and Stitch material.

As a kid I liked the idea that the experiment made just before Stitch was basically perfect except the only thing he ever wanted to do was make sandwiches, but that's kind of a one-joke premise

They actually retconned it later to be that the anime takes place long after Lilo and Stitch, where Lilo is an adult with a kid that looks exactly the same as her.

Nice gag. I like that he later gets the name "Reuben"

And then there was a girl Stitch that was pink and had curves so you'd know she was a girl and that Stitch wasn't gay

Speaking of Lilo and Stitch, I wonder what the Japanese thought of the crossover episodes with Kim Possible, Proud Family, American Dragon and Recess

But Angel is another of his cousins, and potentially a genetic donor used in the creation of Stitch in the laboratory, so gay he is not. Incestuous, though...

Speaking of, how weird does Japanese Stitch sound and did any of the movie actors return for the dub of the anime (assuming it got one)?

Stitch is voiced by Spike Spiegel and Kaji. He also does Donald Duck in Japanese and from what footage of the Japanese KH2 he sounds close to him.

That makes a lot of sense honestly

Endorph’s description didn’t really paint a great picture for me honestly but maybe

Also what was the remaining DTV movie between the ones that started and ended the US series?

Warner Bros. Japan announced on Wednesday that it is producing a new anime adaptation of Buronson and Tetsuo Hara's landmark manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken). The anime will have an all-new cast. Warner Bros. Japan will announce more details about the project at a later date.

The new anime announcement commemorates the series' 40th anniversary.

This could be good.

Enter your name pilot!

I know its a bit of a meme where you gotta watch 10 hours of a show before it gets to the good point, but next episodes of Helck is pretty much the point where the story starts to pick up. You can easily just watch a couple early episodes and just skip to the upcoming ones and not miss a whole lot.

Undead Murder Farce setting up something good this week. I think I figured it out The werewolf daughter survived because she’s immune to fire and stole the identity of both the wheelchair girl and appeared as “Nora” to the werewolves. She’s killing girls in both villages to drive them into destroying each other as revenge for her mother.

If you were waiting for MyGO to end to start watching it, well, it's wrapped up now. They also announced it's going to continue into a sequel season called "BanG Dream! Ave Mujica", but we don't have an airdate on that just yet. So now's a great time to hop on!
