Adult Swim just announced FLCL is coming back.

 

[Golly]

What will he pull out of his head next?

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Fantastic! Production I. G. is a good studio.

 

[July_4_1997]

Eh, I'm not remotely surprised by this. Samurai Champloo needs to be the next revival they do. I would cry tears of cum.

 

[Hodor]

I hope they co-fund another season of Big O again if this does well.

I need season three, dammit.

YAAAASSSSS
Hype is real.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Second season of Panty and Stocking when?

a girl can dream

 

[RepQuest]

I can already tell that this is going to be shit.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

please no moe

 

[John Titor]

Was not expecting that.

People on /a/ are already comparing this to Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean and even calling it "FLCL: AO." Yes, I understand that these new seasons are probably going to be bad, but I doubt that they'd be that bad. FLCL isn't really written in a way where new seasons would be able to ruin the original series retroactively like AO did.

It's a blatent money grab by Production IG. Remember, as soon as they bought the rights to FLCL last year they said they were looking into ways to monitize their new acquisition, including a possible remake. People would have more faith in it if the new season happened organically, but it didn't. None of us know for sure whether or not it will be awful, but it probably will be.

They're getting The Pillows back to do the soundtrack for the new series. I'm taking that as a good sign

 

[ShittyRecolor]

This just might get me to sit down on my ass and finally watch the original from start to end!
