Only Michael is really the 4Kids alum from there and he's heading it alongside Sheh, who only worked in 4Kids shows sparingly. NAOTA'S ACTOR!

OwlChemist81 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Ok, so Episode 2 "Freebie Honey" may be on Toonami, but why don't we talk about this PILLOWS LIVESTREAM CONCERT INSTEAD!? But I'll mention in passing that I feel this episode is more full of references to the original series than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else acting on their shows and movies are never there full-time. Yeah, though I do agree with the point that as a studio they did get to start showing their real talent when NYAV started to get real anime localizations. For example, I'm really glad they got the recent Gundam OVAs starting back with Unicorn, that was when it became much more common knowledge about the talent they were starting to bring.

The headphones, changing from blue to red, is probably a reference to Canti's own transformation. Kinda like the headphones are the new Canti.

Yeah, would have been a lot of fun. Oh, my previous one was of Zero Two from Darling in the Franxx. I liked the image for it (even though the show was quite mixed) so I'll probably use it again later. Edited July 22, 2018 by DangerMouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning red and using their host to unlock greater power... Hidomi has this odd connection with machinery. She uses technology to shut herself off from reality, and if they're every taken off, it's the only time she shows any kind of emotion as she resists. She undergoes several mechanical transformations coming from her N. O. powers whenever she is faced with something violent in front of her.

The1gairon Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Did those light-up, cat headphones look familiar to you? They are very real and can be bought at various stores, and anime/comic conventions. You'd think Adult Swim would get the graces of the designer of these headphones before using them on the main character that plays into her character arc. https://www.polygon.com/2017/7/3/15915404/flcl-2-3-trailer-cat-ear-headphones Nope. Turns out they probably unintentionally didn't think to ask her permission, and now the designer is not taking it well. "Her headphones look out of place." Uuuuuuuuuh, folks, I'm not sure how much you know about FLCL Progressive? ... but this season takes place in the PRESENT DAY, guy. Not in 2000, like the OVA took place in. Plus you then mention how the show is "unique and abstract" in that same sentence, so wouldn't cat headphones make MORE sense to see it in FLCL Progressive too?? Mixed messages here. Adult Swim may have thought it was an innocent nod to a popular trend, much like how Coca-Cola branding is seen in Tiger and Bunny, and other examples that have been very common in anime nowadays. But unlike Coca-Cola, the cat headphones are patented under one artist who is very active and out-spoken in the anime community, and that spelled trouble. The article then goes on to say that Adult Swim heard her stance, and the headphones will now be credited to her at the end of each episode in future copies of the show.

OwlChemist81 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I was under the impression that one key difference between Medical Mechanica's headphones and those of Yan are that the cat ears actually serve a function and contain tweeters and woofers, doubling as speakers. Or maybe that's Brookstone's? Well one has that distinction, and the other doesn't. Edit: Voice actress of Hidomi Xanthe Huynh wore the Brookstone version, which contains the woofer and tweeter in the cat ears, so its wearers can switch from a "personal" mode to a "sharing" mode in which the ears play music. But the FLCL2 version's cat ears just light up and don't contain that feature. Edited July 27, 2018 by OwlChemist81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
