The only way they'll be able to pull this off without disappointing people is to tell entirely new stories. Don't touch the original characters at all. Let us see some of the other Space Patrol officers and what they are up to. Keep the absurd atmosphere, rapid art style changes, Pillows and all that but do something new in a familiar universe.

No point in having a sequel to something that ended on a good note. It feels like a cash grab since it got massively popular. Almost everyone in the west who likes anime has seen it or heard about it, and will see it now that S2 and S3 have generated hype.

If the sequels are fucking shit (which they will be) and retroactively go imply or state shit about something in the original, any future discussion will always have some faggots go "but in season 2 yada yada" no matter how hard you ignore the sequels' existence. The fanbase will be ruined forever, basically.

>Fool-Ai-Cool-Ai

Naota falls in love with a Haruko

Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of GAINAX.

I have an amazing idea that will solve ALL OUR PROBLEMS

Okay

Just bear with me

Okay

So, you take the two main characters from FLCL season 2

Right?

And while watching the show, you replace them, in your head, with

Panty and Stocking.

TWO BIRDS

ONE STONE

No need to thank me. Heroes don't need recognition.

Yes, I am more mad about it even existing but this just makes it FAR worse.
Seriously though, even if it were just nip deciding there needed to be more I'd say they were wrong. What more can you do for a perfectly contained OVA other than pad it out (Captain Earth), warp it away from what it used to be (Arrow) or just have it be the same shit over and over again because nostalgia (SW ep7)

Unless I'm completely off base I just see no way that it could be done right and retain what it was given that it was an inherently contained experience. The best they could do would be like a haruhi s2 type deal and even that would suck.

This is Die Buster all over it except now it's tainted with Toonami as well instead of just being that one IP that's related to a much better IP.
Seriously I have recommended people watch GunBuster and when they're done they ask if there's more. After I explain DieBuster most people don't even bother.
It's just a stain, an admittedly ignorable stain, on an otherwise perfect IP. It's not about whether it's good or shit it's about ruining a perfect run with at best underwhelming and at worst atrocious additions.

All we got to go by is that the toonami tumblr confirmed that it will never air PSG. Chances are Demarco only saw the first 15 minutes (His rule of watching 1 episode to judge a show) of the first episode and dropped it.
>>
>>139160909
I'm pretty fair.
I say, I personally hate it but it's not THAT bad. The issue is it's extremely different to GunBuster in tone. If you want more of GB I wouldn't bother. The show itself is okay if you can divorce the two but I went in expecting GB and hated it.
Honestly the ending is pretty worth it even if you just want a GB sequel.

They usually leave it. I can't blame them. Who wants a sequel that doesn't do anything with it's IP except a, admittedly amazing, nod to the original at the end.

Quick addendum:
Diebuster (completely separated from GB) is the seasonal show you enjoy while it airs but immediately forget about and never both recommending to people.
Gun buster on the other hand stays with you and makes you want to share it.

Simple as that Diebuster fags.
It isn't horrible just mediocre. It doesn't nothing you can't get elsewhere and it squanders it's free good will from GB

It would be hard to air PSG without censoring it a lot, and then everyone would just complain.

>>139161423
I heard rumors that Gianax made a tv dub version of PSG with less swearing and was actively seeking to get their show on toonami. This was years though so my memory is quite fuzzy on this.

It is a shame though since PSG seems like a show that could fit on Adultswim quite well.

Because we get to drag out the "MADE FOR THE FAMILY GUY AUDIENCE UGH THIS SHIT IS GONNA BE AMERICANIZED FOR NORMIES REEE", even though that hasn't happened for any of the other shows Toonami helped to produce in the last 2 decades, but it gives the resident true to life weeaboos on /a/ something to complain about, which fuels roughly 90% of their discourse so this is really important to them.

/a/ is vastly overreacting.

I'm not a fan of unnecessary sequels either, but come on, people, you should be used to this by now.

Plus, I feel like I'm going to completely forget about this tomorrow and will only be reminded by the time it finally airs. In the end, I feel like these seasons will be seen as mere anomalies and be quickly forgotten. That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be bad, before anyone gets defensive about this, it just says something about the marketting.
>>
>>139161956
Do you even know what that means?
>>
/a/, am I just not getting something?

FLCL was entirely carried by Naoto's coming of age which was completely resolved by the end of it from a narrative perspective. The science fiction was so much circus to just be a metaphor for puberty. It wasn't what carried the show.

If they were to continue with Naoto, it'd either be restarting the coming of age, which means reducing the first season to meaninglessness. Or it genre shifts, which means we won't really be getting FLCL

Or they can do what they're apparently doing, which is jump to some other kid (girl this time because cute girls sell and this is clearly just a cash grab) and do a coming of age in high school, which realistically is just going to be making FLCL again, rather than actually adding to the story (which was finished).

I don't think Naota is going to have any problems in this one.

He might be a side character that offers wisdom, which would be nice to see.

Fuck everything. I always imagined Naota marrying the class president and taking over Eyebrow's old job.

I don't understand why they are now writing Haruko as some kind of mentor/savior. Yeah she was a mentor to Naota in some ways but that was a side effect of her remaining near Naota for her own selfish reasons. This is a woman who would have let Earth be destroyed to get what she wanted, she is not a hero.

This will be like Diebuster, except shittier because there's a recurring character and she will contradict her previous appearance.

I really do hope Haruko fucks shit up like she did earlier, but that's not going to happen unless there's some kind yuri subtext which is absolutely not what I want.

I don't think Naota would ever take eyebrow's job and join Medical Mechanica unless he "list his way" somehow.

But there is still a chance that Naota could be paired with Ninamori since it won't focus on them anymore.

It's an incredibly short description that says she's a teacher and that she "unlocks a secret" within someone, just like with Naota. Nothing in there about her being a hero. You could have accurately described her in the original series as a maid.

Besides, if it's been years, there's room for development.
>>
>>139164187
Technically it didn't air first. ;^)

>>139164019
I don't think Amarao worked for Medical mechanica. He seemed to be trying to use Haruko to stop them, but then realized her plans would start up the plant and tried to stop her from using Noata to that end. Rather, he seemed to be working for some kind of SHIELD style organization independent of either side, just trying to get them off Earth.
>>
>>139163724
Why the heck would he take over Eyebrows' job?

Eyebrows was trying to string him along just like every other goddamn person in his life, and Naota clearly didn't hate Haruko enough to base his career on some sort of petty revenge or something.

Selling point is going to be on the nostalgia factor.
I agree with everyone else that the first 6 episodes ended the story on a good note.
Second season is welcomed but hopefully it's its own story. Sound like they switched Naota with a girl.

Still hopeful it can live up to the original.

I've loved FLCL since I first watched it.

Simple fact is, if they're making a sequel to FLCL then they missed the point of FLCL in the first place.

I also dislike the idea of having to refer to the original now as 'season 1'. This entire development just rubs me the wrong way I guess. Call me a bad fan or whatever.

Except Naota's power was never his own, shit even in the last episode the power he was using was the Pirate Kings. Naota's only power was his head worked as an excellent channel for NO energy, other people can do that too it's just that Naota was the best that was nearby.

All we have is "a secret within her". It's vague enough to mean basically anything, including another good NO portal or something a bit different.

The point is the guy I was responding to initially read Haruko being a "teacher" as, like, mentor or really super helpful selfless person or something. There's clearly no evidence for that yet.

The really sad part...
I know of FEW animes w/ great closure endings:
-FLCL
-that recent harem anime w/ the glassblowing shop [btw, another coming-of-age story]
-He is My Master [overly sappy/commercial, but a good ending]
-Cowboy Bebop

It's not like Adult Swim has totally lost its balls
[Squidbillies, Robot Chicken, Venture Bros.].
But they coulda been MORE creative and adventurous...
-Umaru dubbed could be Space Dandy Tier comedy,.
-20+ episodes of Misaka Mikoto, America's
darling Railgun, would be some awesome change of pace battle action.

Primary Issue w/ future FLCL episodes: are they willing to re-unite the Pillows???

>all these nerds flipping out because of some bare-bones plot summary

I'm not overly optimistic, but losing your shit over some basic plot points is more than a little retarded. The general contours of FLCL 1.0's story ("a boy's humdrum life is turned upside-down with the arrival of an alien investigator") didn't make up a tenth of its charm, so I don't know why so many people are prematurely blowing their rage-loads -- wait to see the quality of animation, idiosyncratic humour, use of metaphor, character development, action, music, etc. holds up to the first series before throwing your tantrums.

Main question is - will it take place in space, like Abenobashi and Space Dandy? Since its the only logical continuation of FLCL.

Theres no point doing 2 more seasons in the town it took place, since the story is ultimatively about aliens and space pirates.
