Adult Swim Orders 2 NewFLCLSeries for Toonami’s Birthday

What do you get a 25 - year - old who is n’t a person but a specific programming block of subject that ’s mostly anime serial ? Why , more anime , of grade . This is whyAdult Swimhas giftedToonamitwo new continuation toFLCL , one of its most popular TV series since it debuted way back in 2003 , in festivity of the brand ’s twenty-fifth anniversary .

FLCL has been airing sporadically on Toonami / Adult Swim for the last 20 years , presumably because it ’s the coolest anime ever made . It ’s sturdy to draw — the title itself , pronounced “ Fooly Cooly , ” is wholly inexplicable — but it ’s basically a coming - of - eld story for 12 - year - old Naota , who starts having jumbo mecha erupt from his head after he ’s collide with by Rickenbacker bass guitar by a pink - haired alien key out Haruko while she ’s bait a chicken Vespa scooter . And yet that barely scratches the control surface , because it does n’t bring up the space pirate , the giant atomic number 26 sitting in the middle of townsfolk , the guy with seaweed for brow , or the six - episode series soundtrack , perform by the prominent J - rock band the pillows . Here ’s a taste :

The two novel FLCL series — technically , they ’re called seasons , but “ seasons ” two and three had nothing to do with season one , or each other — will be entitle FLCL : Grunge and FLCL : shoe lace , and animated by CG studio apartment MontBlanc Pictures and the original energizer of the serial , Production I.G , severally . Adult Swim offer up the petite coup d’oeil of Grunge via this clip of Haruko wielding her basso :

The other gift Toonami is receiving is a novel , original series titled Housing Complex C , which will be animated by Studio Akatsuki and is described thusly : “ Housing Complex coulomb gist around Kimi who lives in a small , low - cost housing complex settle in the seaside town of Kurosaki where trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes , and horrific incidents begin to happen … is an ancient iniquity stalking the resident physician of Housing Complex atomic number 6 ? ”

As a major , major fan of the beautiful , banana , touching , and often incomprehensible original FLCL , I am less than thrilled at the musical theme of more of the show , since season two , Progressive , was a water - down subsequence / remaking of the first , and season three , Alternative , was another coming - of - years story that had almost nothing to do with FLCL except a few idea and dally references . I think the original FLCL was so of its moment , and such a personal work by creator / director Kazuya Tsurmaki , that it ca n’t really be captured again . But then again , my passion for it could also be because I fancy it at exactly the perfect moment in my life , too , so maybe these novel serial will be the same for others . Who knows ? ( But son howdy am I wary of that CG living . )

FLCL : Grunge and FLCL : Shoelace are currently in production , while Housing Complex C is due out sometime afterwards this twelvemonth . well-chosen natal day , Toonami !
