what are the chances of FLCL season 2 and 3 not sucking complete dick? I'd say 2-3%
>>
>>139074289
Approaching 0%.

FLCL is just "LOL SO RANDUM" anyways.

>dumbass kids who excelled in English because they could find the inner meaning and messages in 1989 think everything needs some deeper meaning

Sometimes the curtains are just fucking blue because it works for the scene, it's not about the main character being depressed.
>>
>>139074719
I think it's a case of people wanting to inject deeper meaning into something they have nostalgia for.
It's like overanalyzing a disney movie to justify liking it as an adult.

They won't admit it, though.
>>
>>139074563
Did you also happen to like nichijou for the deep?
>>
>>139074289
There's literally no chance of it not sucking. We're too far removed from the original. There's this awful fanboy reverence that's going to ruin it by taking the source material too seriously. FLCL is very self aware, it's a show that's having fun with itself. I doubt the sequel can understand that.
>>
>>139074289
Maybe 5% tops. FLCL was a complete story. There was something greater going on with Atomsk, Haruko, Medical Mechanics, etc, etc, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was Naota's little life on the little planet Earth, and once the story resolved itself all those elements left Earth and his lift went back to normal.

Sure there's a story in Haruko potentially coming back for Naota when he's older, but that's the kind of shit I would write fanfics about when I was 13. I notice that they said Production IG with no mention of Gainax. How much of the original staff are we getting here? Are we getting the original writer back?

If Adult Swim really wanted my forgiveness they'd bite the bullet and make Big O S3, which was a show that actually needed another fucking season. This is just a lazy nostalgia cash-in.
>>
>>139074289
Don't see any Khara or Trigger staff willing to leave their studio, even temporarily, to make 2 seasons of FLCL when they rather make their own IPs instead of sharing anything with IG.
>>
>>139074719
>>139074631
Why is anything that's not LOL SO RANDOM instantly 2deep4u?
Lots of stuff in FLCL was done deliberately. Does that mean it's deep? Not at all.
But it does mean that if you thought the whole show was just wacky random humor for no reason then you literally didn't get it.
>>
What I fear the most is it's just gonna try too hard to recreate the magic of the first one instead of provide a progression to bigger and better things. Kinda like an old man trying to re live his 20's. It's this kind of mentality that kills it for me. In order to grow you must progress, you must change and you must go your own path.
>>
>>139074987
Im not saying FLCL wasn't smart and clever, but it's almost always some retard who thinks everything has to be deeper than it really is.
>>
Given the original sucked dick, and this one is being made by a retard team, I'd say 0.1%.

I think it either needs to feature Naota or it needs to feature Haruko. I don't think you can have both again without fucking up awfully and completely retreading the original.

I'd wouldn't mind if S2 was an older, more confident Ta-kun faced with his brother returning.
>>
Without the original staff involved how will they preserve the deep and important lore of the original ova?
>>
>>139075484
I understand that you're being sarcastic but taking the original too seriously and trying to preserve the 'lore' or the series is exactly what is going to make the sequel fucking blow chunks.

At the very least we could hope for some more excellent animation like the original series, but that chances of that are slim.

>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.

Ask yourself, "can production IG with a random team of people who didn't work on FLCL, including the director, no Imaishi etc make 12 more episodes of FLCL with the same quality as early 2000s Gainax at possibly the peak of their game/prestige". Now add to that "also this new FLCL looks very much like a soft reboot cash grab" (>>139076878).

2-3% is optimistic; it implies this has a chance at all. If anything it'll highlight what's wrong with modern anime production techniques.

Lets talk about this for a second.

The DEPTH of a subject doesn't necessarily make it good.

Its like enjoying a piece of art for what it is, and whether or not it interests you, not some contrived,

>"OH MAN THIS PICASSO GUY IS A HACK THAT'S NOT HOW A FACE IS MADE"

or

>"PICASSO IS THE GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME, EVERYTHING HAS HIDDEN MEANINGS AND IS REALLY INSIGHTFUL OF SPANISH CULTURE IN THE LATE 1800's"

Its ok to not like something because you simply aren't interested in it.
>>
>>139074289
This is the dumbest fucking thing. FLCL has no opening or need for a sequel.

If you want to nostalgia-bait with some normalfag anime why not pick Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star where there's either an opening for sequels or at least the setting is interesting enough that you can make some side-stories?

I swear to god I have no idea what goes on the minds of these faggots.
>>
>>139077054
>It'll highlight what's wrong with modern anime production techniques

You mean everything?

I mean, I know it's easier to have access to CG, but some of these remakes, man.

>From Dragon Ball Z to Super, I can't even feel excited about the fights themselves since they just look so goddamn dull, I swear I constantly see moving still in certain occasions
>From Sailor Moon to whatever Crystal is, I know it's closer to the actual manga rendition which in a way, I don't mind if that's the authors' intention, but that horrid animation
>Even Digimon didn't escape this with Tri., maybe the Digimon themselves, but the humans have what may be one of the most generic high school designs I've ever seen

The originals are still flawed in some way, sure, but there's just something about the original art styles that looks so much better than what we currently have. At least in Digimon Tri., the whole bland high school character designs makes me actually want to focus more on the Digimon themselves where most of the animation went, which isn't so bad. But I feel that the human characters themselves had such a unique art style to them that was unfortunately lost among the way as they grew.

The synopsis read like fanfic fare, if you don't think it is not going to suck dick you're deluding yourself. Actually, I gaurantee someone did write a story where Haruko became a teacher and the protagonist was a self-insert mary sue (fe)male. It's not out of the realm of possibilities.

The two seasons can turn out Chris-chan levels of bad.

I have nothing against Furi Kuri, yet, the anime felt completed and it felt like there was no more story left to tell by the finale.

>>139074289
Just gonna throw this out there for you guys.

The reason why FLCL only had so many episodes, is cause it was complete and utter shit, and it did what it needed to do, tell a story of a young boy essentially growing up and not allowing others to dictate to him how he should act or be, be himself.

Now the reason why Cartoon Network is doing this, is because they have been fucking TANKING in ratings lately, and are trying to justify getting people to watch their stupid fucking network of 10 year old reruns.

Nostalgia culture is a big profit right now, and what is a great profit then the series that had everybody watching Toonami to start with.

The new series will revolve around the kid as a highschool anyway, be lame as fuck, look like complete shit, and go the way of Big O.

How about they just air some anime that dosent suck fucking DICK and get off airing reruns.
>They should just air classic anime's and work their way down the line.
>>
Why can't people just enjoy thinhs? I mean serious, if you INTO a fucking show BEGGING FOR IT TO SUCK AND THINKING IT'LL SUCK FROM THE DAMN START. Then you're already going to think it sucks from watching it because you're just so damn bias about a damn japanese aninated cartoon.

For as much as you people are bigging up yout puberty, good taste and professionalism in criticizing a show you fuckers are acting like children that would enjoy FLCL in the first place.

Maybe you should consider suicide, because the companies involved will make so much paper off this because like it or not you fuckers will watch like the consumers you are.
>>
>>139077658
>only Toei examples
Also, the old series looked pretty mediocre (first Digimon had really bad animation) and had a lot of reused animation loops and the art inconsistencies, you just didn't notice it that much because of the lower resolution and grain.

CG and all the digital techniques make the animation process a lot faster, than it used to be when they used cels. They're objectively better for animation quality, but it won't really help if the production is a mess or the studio hires shitty animators.

>>
>>139078079
>Why can't people just enjoy thinhs?
Sometimes less is better, and more is an insult to the original.

If it was a show that had world building or whatever I'm sure more people would be happy but FLCL wrapped up its story and was never about the big picture, just some kid in a small town growing up. Continuing it just kind of shits on everything.
>>
No Naota kind of sucks tbqh.

Don't trust those knobs are toonami to do a proper job either unless they leave it all to the Japs.
>>
>>139074719
I think my favorite occurrence of people reading too much into anime is Madoka, where in the TV airing Mami's room had no furniture so people tried to read into it and say things like it represented how she had nobody/nothing in her life, etc.

Then the BD came out and the apartment was full of shit. It was empty because based SHAFT had no time to properly fill out the background.

Literally no. You was probably a baby when Gianax was one of the bigger names in animation. Kid don't speak about shit you do not know

Literally better than anything trigger has put out in the same time frame.

>>139079788
Please, don't even get me started. Ghost in the Shell stand alone complex and the first movie is more legendary than anything gainax has ever touched or done. Also, the most impressive animated parts of FLCL were thanks to IG.
>>
>>139075007
>Kinda like an old man trying to re live his 20's.
See if they were clever they would take this route as maybe a bit of a meta-commentary on nostalgia-based remakes too. The adult who's dissatisfied with his life and pining for the days of his youth.

But they won't and it'll be a cheap imitation of the original.

>>139079933

>>139080129
>Since toonami are producing it, i wonder if they'll bother with a japanese language track.
Perhaps, what is /a/ assuming? That it'll be written by Toonami hacks that try and fail to emulate what worked in the first season?

I mean, they're working with IG. Do we know the details? For all I know, "working with IG" means Toonami's just throwing money at them.
>>
>>139079933
Stand Alone Complex isn't anywhere near as legendary as the likes of Daicon, Evangelion, Wings of Honneamise, Gunbuster, FLCL.

Just a watered down version of the movie.
>>
>>139074289
I'd say about 60% to 75% chance.
I am not particularly optimistic since I don't have any real high hopes of it being particularly good in any way. But it getting a passing grade, mediocre or not, is likely more likely than not.

That said. I fear for the audience it will attract. It technically doesn't have anything to do with the show but it will more than likely make the show tough to appreciate even for what it is.
And if it is already somewhat mediocre to begin it will be probably be hard to like it, but otherwise it will probably not be terrible.

>>
>>139078079
Exactly this >>139079295. FLCL was a complete, finished story, and adding more is crass and commercialist in the worst way possible. Not to mention, two of FLCLs biggest selling points are a) the animation, and b) the music, both of which will be near impossible to duplicate, especially with the cheap nostalgia-baiting mindset the whole project reeks of. And this is coming from someone who generally errs on the side of optimism about most things. There is just nothing about dredging up something that was already good, and already finished, and tacking on a continuation or needless reboot. It doesn't even have Eva's excuse of updating the animation, because the animation and production values were already top-notch.

Needless shitty reboots of things that were great the first time purely for the sake of nostalgia wanking and an inability to conceive of anything remotely new or novel is a sure-fire recipe for failure. What's next, a Gunbuster sequel?

Doesn't sound like a random team, also IG worked on the original FLCL. It was a collaboration like most of Gainax's stuff. IG worked on the original Eva movies too.

You realize that Toonami/CN co produced both Big O season 3 and Space Dandy. If you watched them you'll realize that CN had very little input in the actual stories. So why would FLCL of all things be any different?

Toonami produced Space Dandy and that had a Japanese language track and aired at the same time as the dub

FLCL was probably the only anime that actually influenced my life. I'm so happy that I'm literally lost for words right now.


If they don't leave the soundtrack to the Pillows again though, I'll murder every single one of them

Best case scenario FL2CL is to FLCL what Diebuster is to Gunbuster.

CN funded Space Dandy and that shit was Japanese as fuck so, i am not worried about them interfering with the story too much. I do feel like Trigger should be involved in some capacity.

You have to watch it like 3 times to finally get the plot. I tried to get my friend to watch it again and he refuses too and says its a terrible anime for 6 eps.

But my question is, why the hell did it take them like 12 years to make a new god damn season?

That being said, that's like saying Yugioh and pokemon are hardcore as well. But, we don't know till we see it. So lets hope we get the same art style and they don't TTG it.
>>
It's going to be terrible, and I will be so happy. FLCL gives me pains in my soul. I want it to be destroyed. I want the curtain torn down. I want the magic to die, so that my inner child can die along with it.

Because some people think plot points used for backdrop in a character driven show are important mysteries that need to be explored until they're raped to death through banal exposition and superfluously detailed and dry explanations. These retards usually stick to LNharemshit that gives autistic explanations of uninspired magic, science or MMO-like battle systems in lieu of real story telling, but this time a group of idiots got their hands on an IP that just did not need a fucking sequel.

Why would Canti even still be in the story? His whole purpose was that he was an outlet for Atomsk to escape who was trying to repair himself. Either he went defunct once Atomsk escaped or he's just living his life with a fully reconstructed head. He doesn't matter anymore.

The only way this is ever going to work is if they don't try to imitate the original, and instead tie the new story in with some crazy twist like in Diebuster.

However it would be lame to just repeat the Diebuster formula, so they just can't win.
>>
>>139092635
Originally when designing Diebuster, there was a question of whether Haruko may have been a Topless. I always thought that woulda been cool af senpai

Wrong. The whole point was acting according to your own age.

All the kids behave like adults and all the adults behave like kids.

But the anime was so ambiguous and poorly written that no one got it.

This will only be good if they bring in a new main character who's life will get turned upside down by Haruko.

New character, new supporting cast, new coming of age story.

It's just a business decision to milk an old intellectual property. It'll probably be bad but what does it matter? Just don't watch it.

The two seasons will be so far apart from each other that I can't even see it as anything other than a fanfiction, so I have no emotional response to this announcement. It's another Komugi-chan R.
>>
>>139074631
It's not that FLCL is soooo deep.
It's that a lot of us were going through what the show was about when it was airing.
Pubescent boy finds self in Japanese cartoon, resonates with audience of pubescent boys.
>>
>>139097178
Which is half of good writing.

Honestly the most jarring bit for me is that its gonna be 2 seasons. Nobody asked for this, let alone two whole seasons of it. Honestly though, I'm looking forward to it. Guess we just have to sit on our hands and wait the next year and a half out.
>>
>>139074289
FLCL story is huge random shit so I don't expect much. If they can keep up with the good animation they had it's ok

It didn't resonate with me at all. I just thought it was cool, I loved the animation style and the way it combined with the soundtrack. At the time there was nothing else like it. FLCL, Crazy Taxi, Jackass and X Games, those were just fun things for a teenager in 2000.

Things that will make possibly save the reboot:

Hinamori cameo. [?]
Space Pirate King Atomsk. []
Canti. []
Sakuga. [?]
Monster of the Week. [?]
Rickenbacker 4001 fight. [?]
Haruko getting MC into shenanigans. []
Haruko communicates to space through a cat. [?]
Haruko molests the underage MC. [?]
Cumming of age story. [?]

Add anything you think will possibly save it, honestly there are so many great things about it, it will be surprising if this production team fucks it up. Except for the writer, but honestly the original was poorly written too, and it didn't stop me from enjoying it.

Trigger are shit compared to FLCL-era Gainax and Khara are overrated fuckers who would just make all the action scenes heavily use CGI anyway, Production IG is about the same tier as both.

The lack of Enokiddo is concerning, but if they're doing a whole new story going for something different then it may not be that big a deal.
>>
How mad will /a/ be if these new seasons have the plot being told in a more traditional style, essentially dumbing the anime down for the western (read: american) target audience?
>>
>>139100533
FLCL was never that complex to begin with anyway.

It was better than your average coming of age show at integrating it's themes into the narrative and employing symbolism effectively but unless you're an English major and jerk off to anything with a modicum of narrative depth it was the animation, comedy, and music that really made the show so stellar and distinctively creative.

Sounds like you're in some shitty threads then. It was the first real thing Gainax did as a studio and it put them on the map.
The Daicon shorts were just opening animations for some nerd convention a few Gainax founders hosted before making Gainax.
