korosu Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 that's what's on the schedule. and yes, flcl should hopefully be rerunning, but those time slots are irrelevant to gits/3:30 - what seems to be the way this fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Two questions remain: 1.) Will Toonami rerun FLCL again to prepare? 2.) Will Naota return in either of these sequels? Edited March 20, 2018 by elfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I picked it up somewhere from a source I can't be assed to remember, also I don't recall her being in any anime before summer 2003 when FLCL first got dubbed. Hopefully yes, and hopefully maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where this date came from, so it's not official to me. Maybe the ANN writer made it up out of thin air. However, Ghost in the Shell does end the weekend before Memorial Day, so that would be the easiest show to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainStarwind Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Kari's voice for Haruko has definitely changed, but I think I can get used to it. June 2 for the Season 2 premiere makes sense. Assuming they start on April 7, that gives them 8 weeks, one of which will be a marathon for Memorial Day. Hell, if they were so inclined they could probably just hold off on airing FLCL until Memorial Day itself, and have that for the marathon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochi Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 okay, yeah, I'm here for it, that said this is looking like a counterpart to Darling in the Frankxx......but without all the sex which I'm even more here for because based on what I've seen that show would be better without the part of the storyline where their mechs are piloted tandem by hetero teenage couples who need to fuck to make the robot move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It was nice to hear Kari as Haruko again, but hearing the entire trailer being narrated in FLCL quotes isn't doing much to dissuade me from thinking the sequel will just be a tribute act that [as] forced back into existence. Whelp, here's to hoping it'll be good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Every once in a while they bust out a great sequel like Aliens or Robocop 2. But usually it's more like Aliens 3 or Robocop 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) ... that Japanese promo is a TAD better! As usual, Americans get the 2nd best. So we now have more information. The story with the headphones girl and the badass-looking woman is Alternative, that will premiere in September. I am looking forward to that one a bit more than Progressive. I really hope they don't just repeat the same story beats from the first show and actually do something new or a new twist on it other than "the star is a GIRL now!" or "THAT girl has headphones this time!" or "Haruka's got a rival!" Actually, the badass woman being Haruka's rival sounds like a good idea. Also I notice we get Progressive A FEW MONTHS BEFORE the Japanese do! BOOYAH!! Each of these seasons will be edited into a long movie, which will run in Japanese theaters. Edited March 21, 2018 by elfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I didn't think Haruko's voice sounded that different. I was fearing something like Envy after I read the posts. Looks like there will be a whole group that Haruko recruits instead of of just one person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you read the title of this trailer it's a "combo trailer" for both stories. It's clearer in the videos' YouTube upload.' Indeed. Months ago, Toonami said the two seasons have nothing to do with each other except for Haruka and Atomsk. Though how much of that is true remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
