I'm freaking out over here guys. I'm so thrilled I'm even ignoring the ridiculous cat ear headphones. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yhW81Ekacf4 Nathilus fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Without Naota it just won't be the same, even if Haruko is in it.

I guess it would be better if they found another, equally good-yet-somewhat-obscure band to rock the soundtrack? But since there's no way of knowing ahead of time how well the music would fit--and the Pillows fit the original FLCL like a glove--I can't blame them for going with the known quantity.

I have to confess... the truth is... I've rewatched FLCL like 6 times over the years since I saw it in high school and I've never really, like, liked it or "got" it the same way other people did. I dunno. I tried to, but I guess it's just not for me, in the end. v vBut that being said, I enjoy the animation style and I really respect it for what it is. I'll definitely be checking this out when it airs, but I'm skeptical if it'll be able to recapture that strange, undefinable je-ne-sais-quoi that marked the first one as something truly unique on the anime landscape.

The thing is that FLCL wasn't actually about the crazy bullshit, it was about Naoto, so if you don't have an equally strong lead it's just going to be FLCL 2: The Search For More Money. And the odds of telling 2 equally strong coming of age stories in a row are.....not great.

I don't expect new FLCL to fully capture the magic of the original but it's probably gonna at least be an entertaining show

Well like I said, the odds aren't great, but it's not like it's a given they can't. There's no rule or natural law that says that the sequel has to be poo poo. It's overwhelmingly likely to be poo poo, but there have been surprises before. Keep hope alive!

Admittedly I was younger and dumber but I hated it so much I didn't think I'd ever bother watching it again. It wasn't until I read this: http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/flcl-fooly-cooly-66724 that I finally got it. After reading this I rewatched the show, and on rewatching it all made so much more sense, and I now rate FLCL very highly as an anime. It's the first time that reading about something I watched actually changed my opinion of it. That said, it's a series that did not/does not need a sequel. Happy if it spawns a great OST at least, but don't have high hopes they'll capture lightning in a bottle twice in row. Soul Reaver fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jul 28, 2017 |

Nathilus posted:Wrongthink alert. Nah. The fact that they're going with a band that is now known very well by the intended audience instead of finding a new obscure band to elevate is p lame and makes me think they're gonna try to coast on that "hey, remember this!?" style of revisiting an old series.

Srice posted:Nah. Because when you find a band that syncs perfectly with your aesthetic, with a strong appeal to your intended audience, allowing you to maintain continuity with the original while (hopefully) pursuing a new narrative, the obvious thing to do is abandon it all in the hope you can find someone else who can almost give you the same experience.

Since there are a bunch of different people involved in this production I'm gonna unironically agree.

I barely remember it now because I was like 13 when I watched it but I remember feeling very aangsty and like I was enjoying it probably because it was about a shithead dude crushing on an (older?) cool angsty girl who was taller than him and it was very kinetic and fast paced. I keep meaning to rewatch it one of these days...

Looking forward to this don't really watch anime much but I'm hoping this will fill the awesome animation and soundtrack shaped hole in my heart Panty and Stocking after it finished.

Sakurazuka posted:Other western funded anime includes the first GitS movie and the second season of Big O Big O S2 is actually an example of what I'm worried about. My concern here is how much power Adult Swim will assume in shaping FLCL 2 creatively. Also I think Big O S2 worked because it reunited much of the original creators and was made within 3 years after the original, while FLCL 2 is nearly 15 years removed and with almost none of the original staff

If it's Gainax doing it, they're kind of a shell of their former selves and I have no reason to believe they can nail this one.

According to ANN it's entirely Production IG (who also worked on the original) and the director of Psycho-Pass.
