... so it's two minutes to the half-hour, and we're nowhere near the end. 

 

And now I just realized it's 45 minutes long.  For some reason I do not remember it being this long before, even in the last rerun!

yeah the final ep is an hour long(or close to an hour)

she's been blatantly heinous the whole time actually

I just realized it this rewatch

Mamimi know's what she's doing is messed up but is doing it anyway

unlike Haruko who has some modicum of an excuse since she doesn't care for or understand human relationships

But now it;s like she is AWARE that she's a bad person. Her mood here is totally emo and depressing, unlike before where she just acted kinda bored.

i miss the toonami reboot stages from earlier when they aired stuff like soul eater  deadman wonderland  casshern sins  michiko and hatchan   sword art online    kill la kill

 

but now? it feels like the block sees less change and if it does  it's really predictable as hell

And it doesn't feel like those were only around 4-2 years ago! Seems longer than that.

i just hate heavily cinematic games that are just movies

I can understand that, but I think instead it's kind of like the new version of old point and click adventure games. Plus there seems to be a lot of options in this one.

this show is essentially a deconstruction of the "Manic Pixie Dream girl" trope

both of Naota's manic Pixie dream girls (mamimi and Haruko) are actually quite fucked up and dangerous people who he'd be far better to forget about

oh for sure! and I've grown to hate these marathons because again it's 2018 and more and more marathons make me more likely to just stream them if it's gonna be this way

 

toonami doesn't want it's viewers running off to streaming services but if i wanna watch something that isn't FLCL S1 two times in a row i gotta do just that

Why the hell is that the Japanese girls' gym uniform?!

Mamimi is kinda dumb.

Lol she jacked a bunch of the students' cellphones.

Lol Mamimi getting revenge on all her bullies, even the random moped splasher.

Sleeping there like homeless people lol.

Soul Eater is still my soul anime, and it felt RIGHT for Toonami! And then... it got boring ratings and no one talks about it ever again. Makes me sad.  It was a great feeling almost like I was back in school/college.

I should continue reading his new manga.

.... will we get to see Atomsk's evolved form again in these new seasons. Will they even remember to include it?? WE'LL SEE!

Yep. Naota's still a kid. 

The manga based on this has a sadder ending though.

I went away for 30 minutes. Why is FLCL still playing? Did a music video fuck things up?

So is FLCL Progressive a straight up sequel or a new story?

They are both sequels, but they said they BARELY have anything to do with the oVA's story in terms of characters and setting.

Sequels, but ones set in their own entirely divorced canons

basically they're someone else's alternative takes on the story of FLCL

they both ignore that this version happened

Final episode runs long.

Didn't know that. The series has always had a hard time keeping me interested in it, so I typically tuned out around episode 4.

... well maybe it IS in the same timeline. Clearly it's somewhere in the modern day (the sneak peek of FLCL Alternative includes a smartphone and GOogle Maps as storypoints), but I'm not expecting them to reference Naota or his town. Except they will include hints that the story has evolved (Haruko appears to have Atomsks' power now in the trailer).

Canti rebelled.  Naota attained Atomsk's power and is fighting back against Haruko.

I love you.  Aww haha.

Haruko left.  Mamimi too. ;(

I can't drink that it's too carbonated! :D

Similar things:

- Haruko and her vespa/guitar

- a government official/Medical Mechanica official trying to stop her

- a protagonist who learns a lesson about growing up

- alien monsters/robots rising from foreheads.

- a OST filled with music by The Pillows
