Gyaos Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I want to like these shows, but I just don't think they're for me. I'm not even drunk and I still don't understand half of the shit that happened in this episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Opinion : 8/10 MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! The biggest priblem I have is the animation. It should be crazier to match with the VERY crazy and well-fitting script. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 These aliens like to travel in vintage vehicles. She rides in the backseat, no less! I sense a pattern. She has a guitar, too. We know to beware of Haruko, lady. That thing looks good on you? That horn?! Jinyu is there? As a maid?! Taking responsibility hahaha. I knew it was Haruko! But, she has red hair now? I think they should have aired this for April Fool's instead. Better first impression/episode, than Alternative. Though that was good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, she had orange hair still here. I think Demarco said in a tweet that night that Progressive episode 1 was not ready in time for April Fools, since he said that they showed Alternative ep 1 because it was what they had ready and fully completed.

Or how he was wearing a skirt. And then his underwear got compared to panties in a conversation. Oh, this new season. In a way, it seems "Progressive" compared to what's come before, but in a good way. Hidomi feels like a take on the FLCL protagonist fit for the last couple of years, combining the struggles of adolescence with a big dose of millennial cynicism. She has no idea what she wants to be, and I have to wonder if it's because she feels the older generations have fucked her over to an extent. The fact that she's just sitting there in her room, watching apparently rotoscoped footage of an idol concert without emotion, seems to drive home the point, as does her dreams of becoming a zombie and/or giant robot and eventually collapsing into nothing. If you're not an unironic Posadist, that might be the way to go. I ended up being enamored by this premiere. While it may have leaned a little too much on the references (although I will say, if that was a text message reenactment of the manga scene describing "fooly cooly" from the original show's first episode, it was really cute), it did have some instant classic moments, like the aforementioned opening and skirt scene, the teacher showing pr0n to her students, and then her reveal as Haruko wearing a skinsuit at the end. I got up off my seat and cheered at that one. This really does feel like a new version of the show anime fans of my generation can call their own. I hope it gets even better over the next five episodes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, orange hair. In the real word, we call it red. Doesn't matter either way because Haruko's hair is supposed to be pink! Unless that's a "disguise." Though, she already had a disguise on over it. Oh I see. I thought it was to space it out so you wouldn't be seeing it again so soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
