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.

With love,

The original director is involved in a supervisory role so it probably could be worse?

I'm fine with waiting until it's out and giving it a shot.

What? I'm pretty sure it was about 30 minutes of WACKY ANTICS followed by an episode of Inuyasha.

I think this is just one of those cases where you really can't tell anything about it until we actually have episodes to watch.

Man it's been so long but I think there's a few directions they could take it? Like, who Naota's mom is maybe?

Wasn't Naota's mom implied to be dead or something? It's been a long while since I've actually watched FLCL.

Isn't That Right, Chairman?



If we're making sequels to popular Toonami anime, let's do one for a show that needs it instead.

Y'know, like THE BIG O. I want it to be showtime one more time. Is that too much to ask?

I don't really think The Big O needs another season. Then again FLCL doesn't really need any more seasons either.

It's a great show! (And with only 6 episodes, it's not much of an investment.)

Reminds me of the art style used for the Monogatari Series ending themes. Neat.

I found the possible plot of the sequel on the internets, so take it with a grain of salt:

quote:

In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.

But why did Haruko return to Earth? What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota? And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?

I wouldn't put much stock in a plot description considering looking at plot descriptions of the original don't really sound great either

A third season of Big O would ideally be like the first, mostly a collection of fun somewhat connected episodes to have fun with the characters and setting.

Pretty sure Cartoon Network bankrolled the second season of Big O already.

Yeah, for sure. Presentation is everything when it comes to FLCL. My expectations for this are still pretty low because I think the original was perfect and doesn't need a sequel, but maybe it'll be pleasantly surprising.

I could be down with that. I just think the second season ends on such a cool note that I'm afraid more would ruin it.

there's really no reason to have any sort of emotional response to this because it's coming out in like two goddamn years.
