I don't have high hopes. After Alternative & Progressive killed it for me. But we may get new Pillows songs.

That's the highest hope of all

You're talking about the Pillows songs, right?

[–] NotAGuyInAHat 4 points 1 year ago

Of course! Personally I think this has a bit more potential than alternative or progressive but it's one of those things where nothing will ever come close to the original even if it's good

Was FLCL a series or something? I have only watched the first anime which is weird (in a good way)

Now it is. The first season aired in 2000. Eighteen years after they made new seasons.

Original creator was only involved in the "first season", all the way back in 2000. Two new seasons were made in the 2010s when adult swim decided they needed to "bring it back" with a completely new director and animation studio. It wasn't good, and now they're committing to two more new seasons.

Most of us agree that all the follow up seasons are non-cannon and a mess. It distracts from what a good series the original 6-episode OVA was.

I couldn't even watch the whole thing - my cringe meter topped off with Canti in a suit, sounding like a TV weatherman.

Haven't watched Alternative & Progressive yet (wasn't a big fan of the original FLCL either so no high priority), but the CGI looks... not good.
