Looking back this SOL story is actually pretty great .... almost like it DOESN'T NEED ANY OF THE FLCL STUFF TO BEGIN WITH.  I kinda wish this had been Toonami's next original anime (after IGPX) instead of being attached to something that in the long run doesn't need to be tied to it.

N these are great 4 characters, fully fleshed out from the first scene they appear in, and they act like real friends.  They're KIND of moe, but not in the stereotypical, marketable way.

What is up with this Trump-ish lady Japanese Prime Minister?

Will women act as depraved as men outside the presence of the opposite sex?  Girls are saints, right?!

We never did see her father's face.  Hmmmm...

This show has so many great faces.

They could have said soup eater guy was Naota and it would be perfect, *sigh*

So pay attention to Pets whenever she's in the background. ....I read throughout the show she's constantly gathering stuff.  ... she's PACKING FOR THE TRIP TO MARS.

Also, after seeing all the Alternative eps, Ep 1 is still the BEST, to me.

Yeah. I'm thinking ep 1 is the best of Alt as well right now.

Then again I think I'm in the minority in that I also preferred Progressive overall.
Though I enjoyed both for different things.

Ok, her obsession with youth and Haruko is starting to come off as a pedo at this point. 

And what was she even trying to do in this series? 

And why does she seem older, chill, laid back, and actually nice now?  Did Haruko finally grow up and stop being an awful person?  I'd like to think the good influence of Jinyu between Progressive and Alternative, if that is the order they go in.

I see it as another writer doing his take on Haruko.  ... which is true- they had different writers on each of these seasons.

Also, you notice that in Alternative, Haruko doesn't have her metal bracelet.  Which makes me think this takes place BEFORE the OVA, where she was less violent and less rude.

So it looks like we have no indication of whether this rerun will continue past tonight.

Personally, and I think I'm in the majority on this, but I don't see Toonami removing it. It'll stay until after Thanksgiving for easier show slotting, and next week, they'll remove an episode of Samurai Jack and move stuff down to compensate.

And thus, the years-long journey of the much-imagined FLCL sequel/prequel has come to its end. :(

Until the streaming/home video releases.
