It's fucking happening.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1577197059237802&substory_index=0&id=1440408039583372

Toonami has announced a co-production with Production IG to make SEQUEL seasons to the original Fooly Cooly anime. It will have 12 episodes in all. 6 episodes a season. A late 2017/Early 2018 release window is expected.

Update:It has also been confirmed that the original creator and the original designer will be overseeing production.

I have absolutely no idea what to say. I'm speechless. This is either a brilliant move or a disaster that will tarnish an anime masterpiece.


The plot has been outlined here:

Can Production IG reproduce the magic Gainax did? I have my doubts. As a Fooly Cooly Superfan, I'm very scared right now.

Also, no Pillows, no Fooly Cooly. That is a fact.

Production IG and Gainax made the original FLCL anime though

and now that Gainax is like on hiatus or silently dying it makes more sense to just go with Production IG

I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Tsurumaki probably won't be directing it then given that he's too busy not releasing Eva 3.0 + 1.0 at Studio Khara.

FLCL is probably the most overrated, shit anime i've ever seen. Watched it with a friend, and we both hated it. It wasn't even remotely funny. I hated every single one of the characters. The alien lady was just a bitch. Almost as big of a bitch as the older, cheating girl. The kid with robots coming out of his head was such a boring main character. His family was awful as well. I hope this crashes and burns to the ground. I hope this is absolutely terrible and trashes the memory of the original.

I suppose...I'm honestly not certain what exactly I should be hyped for, as not only Is the original thing revered but it only ended properly. Basically...

I'm happy, yet frightened about this. Sure, more FLCL, but it might not capture the charm of the original. I hope it turns out well.

FLCL SEASON 2 AND 3

GET HYPE

"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.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?
All of these questions and more will be answered in the new season of the series, which is set to premiere in late 2017/early 2018 on Adult Swim."

I fully expect this to be fantastic. When they aren't doing comedy shows, Adult Swim/Toonami does some great stuff and they treat their shows well. And Production IG is a fantastic animation studio, one of the best in Japan. I fully expect this to be a fantastic work.

I'm calling it a flop. I don't see how and why they decided to make a sequel.

The plot of FLCL 2 and 3 has been revealed as well. It sounds really disappointing with no Naota and no Canti.

OT: This is definitely unexpected news...

I'm not even sure how to react, it's just ..well, too unexpected.
Let's hope it will be a cool and fascinating stuff like its prequel.

Please don't mess this up, Production I.G. Ideally, it'd be a prequel/sequel mix.

I never asked for this.

But, with Tsurumaki and The Pillows on board, plus a "years-later-sequel" thing, I could consider it. I mean, I enjoyed Diebuster and I imagine that got much the same reaction at the time. Here's hoping they don't mess it up.

Good luck getting modern Gainax to produce something of worth, I.G. was basically the only choice, so I'm not too worried about that.

Tentatively interested.

The ending of season 1 was fine as it was

wouldn't mind to watch if it's going to be good.

Heard about this just now and I'm genuinely shocked.
Just as surprised by this as I was when Samurai Jack 2016 was announced.

Hoping the vibes of the new seasons stay true to the original FLCL, melancholy and all.
Definitely prepared for the worst case scenario however.
