Jman Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 For once, one of these infernal marathons is actually working in my favor. In yet more Making Benny Feel Old News, went down to south Texas for my youngest cousin's high school graduation. And we're leaving this evening to go back home, only to leave tomorrow to drive to Dallas to visit my brother, his wife, and my new(ish) nephew one last time as they've decided to move to Rhode Island now instead of the end of June. But it's only because for some ungodly reason the school disctrict decided to have her graduation on Memorial Day weekend. And I don't know why my brother changed my plans. I sure as hell didn't plan anything special because it's Memorial Day weekend. It's just how things worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the life of me I do not remember any plot hooks or bait for sequels. It's really not about that, but [adult swim]'s nihilistic desire for a new installment. They don't care about everyone else's opinions, because they discovered the show first, aired it, and it's basically their pride and joy after so many years. And if [as] thinks they can make a new FLCL series that isn't just a rehash of the original, and in fact it will be two of them will improve the world as we know it with their presence, then let them take a stab at things. It helps that I'm not as emotionally invested in the original show as other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Now taking votes: should I keep the 4/14/18-5/19/18 run of FLCL Classic on my DVR or delete it and record the 2nd pass of tonight's marathon? Because this time everyone's saying "Fooly Cooly" and not "Eff El See El", I'm leaning toward the latter. What do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on DBS-Black Clover! Tonight is a low key Saturday night to me though. And it isn't just Toonami--AMC isn't showing new FTWD or Into the Badlands tomorrow night!

OwlChemist81 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Well, it's less of an insomniac block than it used to be, beginning at 10:30 now and most of the good new shows are on at fairly watchable times! And as for tonight--it's a split block in 2 shifts--like it should be. I'm hoping for a Toonami that's more like this in 2019--8 shows 10 PM-2 AM that repeat 2-6 AM.

I only missed JoJo's and HxH, but the two shows I did watch (My Hero and the last FLCL) are probably worthy of another one because of how not into it I was.

The original Infomercial special this was based on probably got good reviews as well. On top of that, it's something I genuinely want to see, which speaks a lot to my current viewing situation when I've only watched two episodes of the most recent Rick and Morty season. Maybe you should stop blindly hating all live-action shows this network makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Now that's a little unfair! I actually kinda like some of their live action stuff! Certain episodes of Tim & Eric had me rolling on the floor laughing. I also like Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell and some of Saul of the Molemen! I must admit I couldn't get into the more dramatic stuff like Delocated or NTSF:SD:SUV. But yeah, I just can't bring myself to watch Pera when there's better stuff on other networks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
