OwlChemist81 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Get ready for the return of a ridiculous classic, at a ridiculous time: 11:30 PM! For the first time in HD with proper aspect ratio! Only Toonami!! And get ready for its triumphant return to the airwaves tonight by watching the official panel from C2E2, courtesy of, of all people, [as] ACTN's former competitor, Syfy! P.S., y'all want this thread to be just for episode 1 or the entire mini-season? Looks like the whole OVA is winning... Edited April 14, 2018 by OwlChemist81 2 3

The1gairon Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I wonder if we'll get anyone here who hasn't seen it before!
Delaclease Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I'm so stoked for this. What a wonderful birthday gift. I love this show. 2
Blatch Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 I am so down, mostly because it means I can watch the slot before JoJo's again. 1 1

The1gairon Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Kari shared a photo of her back in 2001 on Twitter.  I actually remember seeing that photo back then too! Nostalgia. ... also has the Friends feel to it. Edited April 14, 2018 by elfie 2
OwlChemist81 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Posted April 14, 2018 I like that y'all are digging "Classic" as the first season's unofficial subtitle since it fits into the scheme of "_______ Rock" like the new seasons' subtitles "Progressive" and "Alternative!" Less than 6 hours now! 2

Ginguy Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 I like FLCL, but I don't want to watch it. I would much rather see S2 and S3 than see S1 again, even if it is in HD with proper aspect ratio. Â 1

You can see the dub on Funimation's site. Hell you can even see it on Youtube right now!
Gyaos Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Seen it a dozen times already, so I'll probably tune out of this during its re-run.

DangerMouse Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) Having seen them a lot I'll probably mostly have it on in the background but it makes sense to repeat these one more time before the new eps, especially since it's only 6 eps long. It's not like they are delaying the premiere to do them, since they said they are still finishing the new eps anyway, which is why they aired the first ep of S3 (Alternative) instead of the first episode of S2 (Progressive) for April Fools, since that was the one that was completed, or at least that's what they said. That said, can't wait to see Progressive from all of their little hints about it, sounds like it channels a lot of the original. Edited April 15, 2018 by DangerMouse 2
OwlChemist81 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 I have high hopes for these in the ratings--well, better than Black Clover, anyway! Maybe in the 700K range, low 800Ks at the highest. But I guess it shall be determined in a few hours!
DangerMouse Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 So glad Kari Wahlgren is back, could hear her enthusiasm in that panel for getting to work on this again after all these years  4

This way, it slides right into the newer seasons and hopefully brings those new eyes with. Plus, I'm guessing that there's a lot of things that are referenced in Progressive that they didn't have time to go into great detail about the what / why so having the Classic aire first kind of covers those things instead. 1
The1gairon Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 So how the hell could The Pillows still be together all this time??

Meilag32 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 I guess I'll tune in...for the umpteenth time. But only because Discord is derping tonight.
