Uhh, wow, didn't expect this.

I think I would prefer if Adult Swim co-funded Panty & Stocking Season 2 but this isn't too shabby.

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

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
if you get angry this early about how your youth is being literally raped by production IG and adult swim with this new series you'll burn out by the time they actually release any information about it. then you won't be able to properly hate it and talk at length about how bullshit it is compared to the original FLCL

you gotta pace this kinda thing

My biggest concern regarding a sequel series is that rather than recapture the charm and madness that made the show fun, it will be nothing but a bunch of self-referential comedy and meta jokes, because that's what made the show so wacky and cool, right kids?

Like sure, Haruko has been crashing into a bunch of kids' lives for years leaving behind tears and seaweed eyebrows and is unlikely to ever stop. But why should we want to see her do it again?

FLCL is coming back because

Naota's graduated university, become a shiftless laze-about (afraid to be) like his dad, and has been improving his control over his Fooly Cooly Brain-Portal to Medical Mechanica's Interdimensional Robotics in hopes that somehow he can bring Haruko back. He does. Hijinks ensue.

I'm cautiously optimistic, and that's all thanks to the promise of more Pillows music. :peanut:

I just found out who the director for this is going to be and all I can say is that I hope this is more Bayside Shakedown and a little less Psycho Pass.

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

Big O is a show that could used either no new sequels or a dozen. It's premise, aesthetic, tone are cool and strong enough to just do poo poo with.

I have no idea how to do FLCL humor again with girl protagonist or even in 2016.

How do translate self referential and honest humor about male prepubescence, puberty, and it's relationship to male sexuality again with a female protagonist done by men. Honestly seems doomed to failure.

I hope I'm wrong

i mean it could suck with a bunch of guys writing for female characters, but also it would be insanely cool if we got a good show with a female protagonist that's genuine about how girls experience puberty.

I'm not onboard unless they announce Anno as the director. The fact that Tsurumaki is only in an advisory role gives me hope for that.

Exactly. We got Diebuster from Tsurumaki directing the sequel to Anno's work, so why not have Anno direct the sequel to Tsurumaki's work?

ahh, that'd be cute. i feel like Anno probably isn't super available due to other projects though.

yeah, that's actually the one part of the whole pitch for season 2 i'm kind of interested in and i really wish it was just going to be about that, and not about answering any questions left by the first season

Even if the story is garbage it will probably have good music and interesting visuals.
