Now he looks like Kenny lol. Haruko and this guy have history haha. Heh that girl's response to that thing growing out of Naota. Haruko doesn't care what happens to the Earth. Small as usual. Takkun's a lot manlier lmao.

Mamimi jealous and Naota bashful lmao. Haruko snuck into the barber shop hahaha.

So I've been mispronouncing Kari like "Carrie" this whole time. Nice to see how appreciative she is of FLCL, the fans, and anime overall. That earphones girl has a very cliche design. Wtf was that? That shot looked more like something out of Madoka Magica than FLCL! Wow there's a lot of characters. Looks like they were dubbing over some incomplete scenes. It's cool to see the VAs but it kind of removes some of the magic. Especially when you realize things like Naruto is played by an elderly overweight lesbian woman.

Ninamori looks completely different. Did she cut her hair?

I think a lot of these jokes, like those bands that were name-dropped, and the Crystal Pepsi, are products of the dub.

Oh it's this infamous episode. What are these pigeons doing here? LMAO Lupin the 3rd hahaha. No the horn! "You were making out and doing perverted things, behind your father's back!" Ahh yes South Park reference. Back then the show was actually tolerable and relevant.

He changed the weather with ONE PUNCH. Weren't there TWO bottles? Lol Kachan has issues. "Their bodies started moving before they could think." Deku also helped All Might in a way. Yeah I think this would've been a lot better if Deku never got a quirk. It's a shame.

What the? He's shrinking like a Titan shifter! So this is happening because of that injury? Or can he only fight for 3 hours because of the injury! 3 hours should be a millennia in Shonen time though! Wow harsh truth from All Might. The road needs to be at least 2 lanes my only weakness lmao. She can't change to a size in between? Beat him with ONE PUNCH huh? So that slime guy can take over people and use their powers?

Shut up Frieza! Your filler scene isn't even supposed to be here!

That guy sounds like a whacked out supervillain LMAO. WHAT A BUNCH OF INGRATES! Ok, I know that Hercule took credit for beating Cell, and nobody knew about Raditz or Frieza, but what about King Piccolo? Why does only that dog president and the world martial arts tournament announcer remember Goku saving the world from him? And who do they think beat Nappa and Vegeta? Vegeta is doing a terrible job of talking to Earth though. Why didn't they have Goku do it?

Fat Buu seems weaker here than when he was a bad guy...

I don't remember Porunga making the "ok" gesture haha. I bet a lot of really nasty criminals just got removed from the earth. Vegeta isn't a "really bad guy," huh? Cool. So fitting that it ends with the Spirit Bomb, and have the general populace help in their own defense, as Vegeta said. Not the best way to ask for help though, Vegeta!

They used the animation for when someone is disintigrated by an energy blast, but of course Goku Black wasn't really dead. Grrr lol.

"I like you but I don't like you that much!" LOL. Land the time machine in a discreet location and put it back in the capsule! You should have realized Zamasu was bad news a long time ago, Gowasu. Even if Zamasu's body is completely gone he should still come back because he's immortal. Bulma as resourceful as ever. Good thinking! Superglue the jar back together lmao. YES GOKU HE IS IMMORTAL FOR THE 50 THOUSANDTH TIME! Vegeta with the good lines. He was epic as ever this episode.

So Trunks can just pop into that form whenever he wants? I thought it was heat of the moment the first time. And how powerful IS he?

NO NOT THE VACATION HOUSE!

Well that might have worked if you hadn't missed.

Yeah this will go real well. You know fighters aren't bullet-proof like fucking Superman, right, Mai? They dodge or grab the bullets!

Don't sleep in pants, Trunks. It's bad for the boys.

If you were so confident of your argument against Jman you wouldn't have felt the need to insult him.

It doesn't work because you like you said continuity. Better to just watch both shows and keep the first half of FMA03 "in mind" when watching Brotherhood. Of course, it's not required but it's not a bad idea. Though I've heard from some that saw Brotherhood first that they preferred how it handled that material. So maybe it depends on what you saw first. Don't know if it works that way for HxH. Well HxH already had its chance from me. When we no-personality glasses man and his similarly nothing character student explaining nen at length in the most boring ways possible and Gon and Killua chopping people in the back to farm gil and level grind, that's when I had enough. That was 50-something episodes? Not sure if someone didn't like 2011 that they would like 99 anyway. It wasn't a fight. They were playing games against a ridiculously cheating gambler and there were all kinds of interesting and creative ways of playing the games and cheating at them, trying to counter and outsmart Darby, etc. This is the exact kind of stuff you see in HxH on multiple occasions, but it doesn't work there at all. Fine.

Isn't this almost over? With where we are in the story I would think so.

Not sure what I've missed. What you or I want, or even what logic would dictate, it seems, does not matter. Demarco is determined to bungle this FLCL premiere and run the block into the ground just to squeeze that much more from the fruit! The smart choice would have been to air them back to back, but that would make too much sense and they wouldn't "get their bang for their buck," in their eyes. NEWSFLASH: The viewers don't care how much you paid for your show. If they don't like it, they won't watch it. And if it's reruns, which they have been historically shown to not tolerate, they won't watch that either. And it isn't moving something around, but replacing a premiere with a rerun in a prime slot isn't exactly "stable" either. Edit - accidentally hit the submit button early so the post is stuck in two pieces.

I've seen that trailer before. And neither one of those sources gives the episode count for the seasons. We can easily deduce from the trailers, subbed episode aired, and other information released that they will be largely independent of each other and the original. During those behind the scenes featurettes that Toonami aired the people working on the show even said they are making it so old fans can enjoy but also those who have never seen the original series. Obviously they will be connected somehow. Haruko is a recurring character, and we're going see robots and other things pulled from people's heads, familiar phenomena, returning factions, and cameos of past characters possibly, but I don't know if I would go so far as to say there will be an overarching story. Maybe they wanted to tell 2 new stories in that world. Honestly, they feel more like standalone spin-offs with connections than straight up sequels. Just because something takes place later doesn't make it a sequel. The various Star Trek shows are all considered spin-offs of the original 60s series. When you almost completely change the cast and setting, it's a spin-off. We know they will because they never learn a god damn thing. Like you said, based on past experience. You forget how much the viewers abhor reruns. This is the reason ASA failed and anime would've been dropped from AS if Toonami failed. This is why the block got chopped in half. This is why Jack was pulled. They won't care that something new is coming. Most people don't want to watch something they just fucking watched, especially something so short, where memories will be very fresh of even the first episode. Hell, since it was announced ahead of time, they could just ignore the replay of season 2 and start watching again when season 3 premieres. Or, some might plan to do this, but forget to come back for season 3, and it not only fucks over the ratings for the replay and shows after it, but season 3 as well. YEAH THEY REALLY THOUGHT THIS ONE THROUGH! I'll refer you to what I said above. And again, no reruns are ideal but shorter isn't really better because of how fresh they will be in your memory. I guess people with 50 First Dates condition won't mind. I thought you were talking about placement on the block in terms of what ratings the replay itself would get. But oh ok, since it's not coming on first it, it would only be fucking over everything after that, which is no big deal!

We'll that's lame and explains a lot. Hopefully the show still turns out to be good despite that.
