Post subject: HOLY CRAP! FLCL to Adult Swim?
|
|
|
|
Adult Swim has aired a promo bumper teasing a new anime that they have aquired... without actually saying the name of said anime. It is rumored to be FLCL but there has been no formal announcement.
The card read as follows (thanks to EightOh for this paraphrased transcript):
A new anime is coming to Adult Swim.
It's only six episodes long.
It's exceedingly great.
Like Bebop
Big O
and Beef Logs.
More news on this will follow as it breaks.
Thanks to Matt Williams in this thread at ToonZone News Ticker. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Oooooo. I was thinking they meant blue gender...until I find out that's it's 26eps ^_^
It could be FLCL but it just seems a little out of place since it got alot of attention from TechTV and you'd think it would air there first. Is there anything else it could be besides that? _________________ Bang. |

*sings*
This series is just six eps long
Couldn't think of any stories
No I never wrote the stories
So I'll just show any old stories
That come to mind, child
You really need words
Whole lotta action words
You gotta write so many words, mm-mm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it
To do it, to do it right, child
This series is just six eps long _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

Well, this bumper is following one day after Production I.G. stated in a panel at Fanime that FLCL had just been sold to an American network...

That is awesome. I have always wanted to see it, but the dvds are expensive. For only 2 Episodes. Only two frickin' episodes. _________________ I shake like a toothache,

I haven't seen the DVDs yet in store shelves (either they're not available here or I just overlook the shelves a little too much). How much does it cost? _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015 |

Standard price is $29.95. You can find it cheaper if you look.

In Japan, it was $30 for one episode. 6 DVD's total. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

They have to finish it first. The second of five episodes was just released a few weeks ago. It probably won't be done for another year.
Then there's the licensing hell Harmony Gold would put it through just to get an overseas release.
It's pretty much unofficially confirmed that it's FLCL. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Anime actually turns out to be Gundam 0080--everyone face faults. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

I can see them doing it for one time as a joke on all of you. I know I'd do it. Hell I'd probably show 6 eps of thundercats or something like that just to make it better. _________________ "Veni. Vedi. Spooki." - Julius Caesar

FLCL would make sense on AS. I meant the show does not make sense. Chewbacca the wookie lives with the ewoks. Does this make sense? No! It does not make sense. Thank you, your honor. |

Another hint: Please stand for it. It was shown post Lupin break.
Lupun's comin'.
By the way, sometimes we may give props to things we like.
(FL CL, Lava lamps, Samuel Beckett)
This doesn't mean we were PAID.
We just like stuff.
Like you!
Bye now.
