So that's what this show is called…

Adult Swim's audience of faggoty redditors will love it for it's meme status, but 99% of the humor will be lost in translation.

Truly, still, the whole show is meme shit for keks, what will be really redditor is when they start to fanfic the deep lore of it.

>>1002848

Putting this back to back with the shitty new FLCL? It's like they're trying to kill the block. I loved the show, but I really don't think it's going to click with Toonami's audience. Especially since the second half of each episode is just a repeat of the first half with different voice actors.

>>1002873

I saw the new FLCL, and its average.

>>1002858

>>1002862

It will probably become new Deadpool or Rick and Morty.

>>1002874

At least there will some good music out of it.

>>1002873

>>1002874

I never understood the love for FLCL even when I was in the demographic for it. It always seemed at best "average" and at worst meandering and pointless. Maybe that was the "point" but if so it was a pretty boring point to make. So hearing that the new show is at best average really doesn't surprise me one bit.

>>1002896

FLCL is a good show, is not smart but is smartly made and thematically smart.

Is a slice of life made in order to not be predictable nor boring and a prime example of show don't tell with good visuals.

The story it tells is fine and definitely more refined than in the manga, I was pretty satisfied with the ending so I didn't bother on the new series but I might check it out.

Though I'm afraid it washes out the good taste the original leave in my mind.

>>1002888

>It will probably become new Deadpool or Rick and Morty.

Probably?

Is not a pretentious as R&M or has shit humor like Deadpool, is one of those cases you can blame the fandom entirely.

>>1002920

That's fair I suppose. I guess it's just not my cup of tea at the end of the day.

>>1002888

>It will probably become new Deadpool or Rick and Morty.

I doubt it. Toonami's viewership is shrinking by the week, and most of the people who watch it are just in it for the shonen. I remember when Jojo was first announced everyone was afraid it would cause a huge wave of kids vomiting Jojo memes. That didn't end up happening (at least no more than it was before it started airing) and I don't think the show did as well as they hoped. I would like to know what goes on behind the scenes of Toonami and what's the logic with some of their decisions. They waited way too long to get MHA, which people were excited about when it was first airing, and then they get Black Clover only a few weeks after it first started, which people have been lukewarm to at best. I can't tell if they're just out of touch. the companies are playing hard ball, or both.

>>1002920

I wouldn't bother with it. Outside of the music, it's really subpar. There doesn't feel like there's any passion. With the original, you could tell it was being made by people who wanted to do something fun to blow off steam after making End of Evangelion. This feels like it's being made by amateurs who are only doing it because Adult Swim wanted it and is fronting the bill.

Probably both, but out of touch probably has more to do with it. Adult Swim continues to waste its money on things like FLCL 2, underfunds or cancels successful shows, and so on.

Occasionally they do get lucky, like they did with Rick and Morty and Space Dandy. Then they will also make a good decision once in a blue moon, like they did with Samurai Jack or 12 oz mouse revival. I just hope that it, Venture Bros, Genndy's project, Harvey Birdman, and won't be shit.

You're pretty much on point. FLCL was made when almost evreyone in Gainax were Otaku from the 80's that tried to make anime for otaku, ingraining their passion into things.

nowadays it's nu-gainax, evreyone who was there back in it's glory days are now gone and went on to make their own things like Kill la Kill.

>>1002942

Modern Gainax has passion, it's just not for the same boyhood story they already did once before.

>>1002854

This may will be sound like an unpopular opinion, but i think most of it's jokes worked way better on paper…

>>1002957

>>1002942

I don't even think Gainax has anything to do with the new episodes. It seems to be all Production IG, who assisted with the original.

Fucking took long enough. They've had this shit dubbed since it dropped. It's perfect for Adult Swim.

>>1002941

>anime based of a shitpost 4koma gets picked up by (((Funimation)))

Actually, no. It was picked up by Sentai Filmworks too. Unlike a lot of anime, Popteamepic has something like an open, non-exclusive license where if you pay the fee, you get the license. Which means if you've got the money, you can license it and make a dub of your own.

>>1002896

I never got past episode 1. Didn't grab me.

>>1002995

Cleverer than you you dumbass. How stupid do you have to be to get the drink thing they were doing so totally wrong?

>>1003220

More like Japanese Robot Chicken, actually.

>>1003223

That's even worse.

so when did toonami become for weebs? i remember reboot, batman, powerpuff girls, thundercats, and some space thundercats ripoff being on toonami back in the day.

>>1003226

>so when did toonami become for weebs?

When Americans stopped making action cartoons.

>>1003005

Time to get the money together to make the official real dub.

>>1003226

Hasn't Toonami always been a vehicle to push anime in the west, even when it had started? DBZ, Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, and others put on the program block helped popularize anime in America, despite also having the shows you have named on there.

But eventually, only anime had been aired on the program, so it became known primarily as an Anime program block.

>>1003244

As an addendum, the revamped Toonami also had reruns of Sym Bionic Titan and Samurai Jack on their line up as well, so it wasn't ALL anime all the time.

Why would I want to want watch something that ended like three months ago? Now you want to put this on TV? Are they that slow?

>>1003244

No, you had early Sci-Fi Network to thank for that.

>>1003248

Considering most of what they air is stuff that's more than a year old, this is actually a pretty quick turn around.

>>1003249

Oh yeah, I remember now they used to do marathons of the godzilla movies as well.

>>1003244

when toonami started it was old ass action cartoons like herculoids, those 40's superman serials (which did have awesome animation), johnny quest, etc. toonami didn't start airing sailor moon and dbz until like late 98.
