NEW FLCL Alternative Trailer debuts at SDCC FLCL Panel!

[OwlChemist81]

And it will be 11:30 PM!

I think it's a foregone conclusion at this point that Toonami is expanding to 10 PM, with Dragon Ball Super kicking off the block, then MHA/AOT, then FLCL3. After all, [as] is losing The Cleveland Show so that should free up a spot. I'm hoping that the two Family Guys are re-united in the 9 PM hour because that would boost ratings, but the question remains as to what's tame enough to air in the 8 PM hour? Maybe DBZ Kai x2?

"It shattered, just like your fragile teenage dreams" is a much better/more natural-sounding soundbyte than "Guess that's what they call adolescence."

I personally can't wait.

Bob's Burgers

I'll watch it, but man I kind of wish they had just done their own thing instead of trying to tie all of this into FLCL because I feel like on it's own it would be great, but in trying to compare it to the original that it starts lacking.

But that's doing gangbusters on weeknights and Sunday nights, and they probably get limited plays weekly. But that would totally work wonders for Toonami if it had an hour each of BB and FG as its lead-in. DBZ would be over a million almost every week and that would occasionally carry over to the later shows. I think 90% of Toonami's "failure" in the last 18 months has been its weak lead-in of an FG double-decker sandwich with an hour of Rick & Morty as the meat. Strengthen that and you strengthen Toonami!

I don't personally care much for Bob's Burgers but it seems to be pretty popular and would make a great 8 PM lead-in. Bob's currently serves as a "book-ender" on Sunday nights at 9 PM and 5:30 AM (same episode); the only thing before it on Sunday nights is an hour of The Cleveland Show, but that's on the way out! Just remove it from Sunday and add it to Saturday at 8 and double up on the R&M on Sunday, is what I would say if losing Cleveland wasn't also an obstacle. More [as] original programming will soon be required on Sunday nights either way.

As for Saturday night post-Toonami, quadruple R&M might work but I don't think that's ever aired in the 5 AM hour. It will be interesting to see what [as] does with that.

I thought that marathon ended at 5 AM? And wasn't that the Season 3 marathon? Also, DST last November was the ATHF movie, but wait, you're right. We DID get R&M in the 5 AM hour that week! But could it happen every week, and with only the TV-14 episodes?

i don't know why but adult swim is only airing TV-14 episodes of robot chicken this 5 am run (even re-rating some TV-MA ones) but they can air TV-MA stuff at even 5:45. you need look no further than the 2006 metalocalypse marathon that ended at 6 am (though there are other examples like The Rising Son premiering at 5).

Such a great line!
And Kari's delivery of it is soooo good.

Same here, can't wait.
 

Spoiler

I'm also guessing from the feel of the trailer that Haruko might be a little more "first show style" playful in this one, since it doesn't look like it's following the separation storyline since she's got her normal hair color. Though I did love that we got Jinyu from that in Progressive.
