FLCL Progressive Rerun Discussion


Recommended Posts

It's a little of both.

Now, I'm not questioning the logic in rerunning this. A lot of people (me included) were actually expecting that to happen. On the other hand, this might be the first rerun near the top of the block that manages to air every episode. :o

Yeah, I'm not surprised at all by a rerun with it being a new FLCL, getting some good reviews, and being a "Toonami original", but I guess I was still just a bit surprised at them leaving it at its same time, at the top of the block since re-runs don't hold up like they used to, for obvious reasons, especially at the top compared to in the late-night re-run slots at the back. I thought they might move everything else up until FLCL Alternative and maybe have this at 2:30 to kick off the re-run shows.

Yup, with it only being 6 weeks of eps it's pretty likely to finish without issue anyway.

To be fair, Samurai Jack S5 reran at the top of the block, and that got pulled after three episodes. Length presumably doesn't count as an excuse.

I'm not too concerned about the Progressive rerun bombing, because Toonami has been doing so well lately despite much lower ratings overall. Even if it does cause the numbers to take yet another hit, I assume they'd have lowered expectations anyway, and could absorb the blow. The worst case scenario I see happening, if such a thing is even possible, is that they temporarily remove the slot, shift DB Super and MHA down for the last few weeks, and then re-expand the block to 10:30 when Alternative arrives. Because of this, there's no logical reason for them to move the rerun down.

Yep Toonami is rerunning it, as we feared. They should have put this later or delayed airing this show if the other one wasn't ready so they could air them back to back.  Or at least put this at a different time like you guys said.

That being said, watching this again is probably good to spot more stuff and understand things better.  Don't know that I'd want to re-watch it immediately afterwards by my own choice, though.

More innuendo.  And here's Marco, who seemed like kind of a pointless character ultimately.

Ide sure changed a lot.

Looking at her skirt hahaha.

Meant to mention this earlier, but he looks like Chris Farley.

That marker sound is awful.

Haruko has bigger boobs in this disguise.

Creepy old guys.  And I think the only time Hidomi interacted with those two characters.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but your daughter is going to be fine." xD
