Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Well, that was pretty intense. Nice to get some more background on the Rockiens and what's going on with the whole gang war. Haruko as usual seems to be driving a lot of the conflict in order to try to draw out Atomsk. How many episodes is this supposed to be anyway? Is it 6 like the rest of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, is this gonna be 6 again or did they extend it this time to be more like a normal show? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. It was just announced, seemingly for the first time, that Grunge is only going to be three episodes, and so will Shoegaze. So who knows how they're going to wrap this all up.

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Just 3 each?! Wow, so it's already gonna be over next week. That's surprising, but I guess it does kind of explain why tonight's episode felt like it was kind of rushing toward a climax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Damn, that's kinda crazy. Was thinking this was pretty fun too, that's too short. Not to mention if Shoegaze is going to be that short too. Edited September 17, 2023 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 There was a guess that was half-right that the events of Episode 2 would be sort of a retelling of the events of Episode 1 from Shonari's (the rock guy's) perspective. Well, it was that and a bit more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Oh, only being 3 episodes for each show is hilarious. That's more like 2 mini-series. Well, hopefully we get a real show as replacement when they're over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonamiguy321 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I have no idea how they will create any kind of meaningful conclusion for this in one episode. We spent a good chunk of this episode rewatching scenes from episode 1. I don’t feel like anything meaningful has even been set up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Casey Jones in 2003 TMNT, Duke Devlin in YGO, Chazz Princeton in YGO GX, Kid Muscle in Ultimate Muscle and lots of other characters in 4Kids and NYAV Post shows. Seems like he’s doing a Rocky Balboa impression here for the Rockian. Heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpgamer Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Didn't think this episode was too bad, tbh. Some slight exposition. The "eyebrows" was again a needless callback trying to capture the same magic of the original.. I think one of the major failings of the show is just how it never really established very well what the world is. We know Haruko's some space pirate of ill repute, if the tales are to be believed. Unsurprising that MM is spread through the galaxy as well. But this just didn't seem to establish the setting very well. Future Earth? Alien world with humans? And maybe some of that is a result of a 3 episode series, little enough time to set up a "classic zany FLCL plot." And obviously that's kinda rushing said plot along as well. But, all the rush aside, this one felt like it came closer to the mood it's striving for. Did not like the pronunciation of "Samueda" through this, tho. Why the heavy accent on the last syllable? That's a fairly simple read right there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
