So you’ve probably heard by now that Adult Swim is bringing back FLCL in not only one, but TWO seasons, reportedly to air in late 2017 or early 2018 (Source: io9<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But I have to say, hearing this news, I was a crazy, CRAZY, mixed bag of emotions! I mean, OF COURSE I want more FOOLY COOLY (other name the original anime from Gainax is known by)!!! I mean, the original anime definitely ended on a note that more episodes\u00a0could\u00a0<\/em>be coming. But the original six episodes were SO GOOD! And quite honestly would be quite happy if they would just leave it there.<\/p>\n

And that last statement, admittingly, is driven by this particular writer being tired of the sheer amount of remakes, reboots, unnecessary sequels, and reimaginings in American pop-culture… Yea, I might be in that bitter fanboy camp of “Where’d all the original content go?” \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

See, supposedly the story behind how the original anime came about was that Gainax was bored. Yep. Bored. They were between productions, and had nothing to work on. So a handful of them essentially goofed off and came up with with an INCREDIBLE and bizarre story, filled with things that shouldn’t work together, BUT DOES!<\/p>\n

And if the io9 report is accurate, Gainax won’t even be involved. Production I.G. is taking the reigns.<\/p>\n

So you have a fan favorite anime, the original studio is involved. And given the, what one can only infer, playful, freeflow energy that went into the original… I’m definitely worried that this follow-up won’t recapture the energy and fun I’ve enjoyed with FLCL.<\/p>\n

But I’ve been wrong before. I hope I am now.<\/p>\n

I mean, I’ll definitely be up when this airs… but I’ll definitely be a cautious viewer.<\/p>\n
