I guess they decided to fight fire with fire. With less of a budget and stricter programming standards. Hey everyone! Remember IGPX?

I’m throwing up my hands at this point and watching Netflix.

Progressive just might be one of the biggest flops under DeMarco’s watch since IGPX.

Full Metal Panic 14-15.

All that ranting and you didn’t even make the obvious Zero Two = Lum connection.

They’re fairly common on railways. Like if you have to take a train 30 minutes to an hour, you’ll see a Switch or two...or three.

You know how Raxephon can sometimes feel like it was made by people who shipped Shinji x Misato? Maybe it’s the same here, just with Rei.

Holy shit, they are not playing. The fact this is being used on FLCL fanfic of all things really has me wondering.

Ok, fair enough. I ain’t gonna rag on a person getting motivated. That would just be lame. I admittedly like having a block of premiers to watch on Saturday mornings. Makes me nostalgic.

Who said anything about binging? I view it as having it and setting my own schedule.

You just made the argument for On Demand streaming right there man.

When everyone is dunking on Progressive and you’re defending it we will see.

So then by your contrarian nature you will love the sequels.

Essentially if you have a point, mocking a man’s hair or making it a misandrist vs mysoginist issue helps no one.

...I don’t hate everything.

Five years at the rate we’re going. Check back in five years, given investments in the medium and demand on turnaround.

I love FLCL. The original. Watched it in high school. That’s why this sequel is a risk. If it doesn’t live up to the expectations it’s going to make people more mad than if it was an original property . Toonami isn’t Netflix. They can’t invest in tons of shows on the ground level. If FLCL 2: Electric Boogaloo flops Cartoon Network will be loathe to let them try again. See - IGPX.

From what I understand they specifically sought out Japanese studios to cut costs, as opposed to He-Man, which had a very expensive cost because everyone was US Union. Also they did the same thing Transformers did where they got a talented Hollywood get to do a supporting role (In this case Earl Hyman, best know as Grandpa Huxtable on The Cosby Show, before everyone realized what a creep Bill was).

Legion > Gifted. I mean, I hear Gifted is fine, but Legion is...wow.

Can I point out the 80’s show...had surprisingly good fight scenes? You don’t get that from noodle people in CalArs.

Like I said, we’ll watch it tonight, and we’ll determine for ourselves. But for the life of me I do not remember any plot hooks or bait for sequels.

Alright, let’s have some fun with reruns. Watch this show. Tell me afterwards if you think it needs a sequel. If you do, explain why. This isn’t meant to be trolling, but an honest to God thought exercise on why this show, besides DeMarco’s self admitted nostalgia.

He’s not focused on romance with anyone living (long story) although Negasonic is in a relationship with a girl called Yukio...and it’s treated as perfectly normal. Well, the relationship, not Negasonic landing a girl.
