only a couple new pillows songs too
FLCL ALTERNATIVE
Parker Anderson
Andrew Moore
Both were shit.
The only scene I liked in any of them was the part where the old man and the young man were taking Canti's head to the dump. The young man calls it "priceless treasure" and the old man calls it "junk".
It was a very tongue-in-cheek jab at the people who demanded a sequel to FLCL.

>tfw the reason we didn't like the new flcl seasons is because it's made for the current generation of teenagers not bitter millennials that remember the original (which was made for them when they were teenagers)
I'm old and sad
Joseph Smith
Alternative was just a female teenage girl version of flcl with haruko as some weirdo sexual marry poppins.
Progressive was the real shitstain that brought nothing new to the table and just a complete fucking retread of the original with surface level understanding of the themes.
Ethan Torres
FLCL was just a big fucking metaphor for puberty and the problems that come with it. Or rather how sexuality factors into your psyche as a boy going through puberty.
A sequel with a 20 something naota coping with young adult sexual frustrations and problems and haruko as the avatar of his problems would've been really fucking kino and would have brought new things to the table while retaining the core concept. Some day I'm gonna write a fanfic detailling this.

This is pretty much what everyone wanted.
Not a re-tread of the same themes but with current age kids, an actual sequel, a continuation.

>It's just mediocre but not shit.
No, it was still shit.
No, Alterntaive and Progressive were made to cash off the original without any genuine heart or creativity of what made the og good. Both sequels are literally the HBO Watchmen of anime.
Lucas Nelson
Progressive was really the most half-assed "lets get it over with" contract work I've ever seen. Like they only poorly aped the surface level stuff and then crammed explanations for the flcl scifi lore that nobody asked for into it.
That's like bordering on sabotage. And the subpar animation was adding insult to injury.
I really can't fault alternative, I just saw it as a spin-off thing, puberty for girls yada yada. Inoffensive.
But progressive was a fucking crime against anime.
Jaxon Cooper
I kinda liked the basketball episode from alternative.
When kana's boyfriend goes up to her and instead of confessing prattles on about how he HAD TO feel up harukos upper thighs made me chuckle, because it was such a authentic teenage moment.
Benjamin Wood
I was disappointed that Naota nor his robot never came back. I wanted them and Haruko not just Haruko and random new people.
