You heard it here, folks.

FLCL was one of the most important anime to me. It may have only been 6 episodes long, but I have vivid memories of watching each episode and the hours (hours!) of online discussion analyzing each of those episodes. I even have that nifty DVD box set (with the book and the stickers and postcards, ect.) that came about before the series went out of print for a few years.

Funny thing, but FLCL was actually my introduction to a lot of anime tropes. I wouldn't see Evangelion for another year or so, for example. It's a bit odd to be intensely familiar with the parody before seeing the things 'straight.'

i was a big fan of FLCL.

So very conflicted by this news. FLCL is one of my favorite anythings ever.

I had mixed feelings about FLCL when I saw it, so I definitely have mixed feelings about the idea of remaking it.
I mean, what are they gonna DO?

It's official, and Adult Swim/Toonami is behind it:

oh i can feel the waves of hate from here.

Not a fan, so not sure how they could pull it off.
Isn't Gainax pretty much dead now?

The first trailer for FLCL 2 and 3.

... despite my trepidation, I'll certainly give it a shot, and Toonami's been good lately so I'm riding a wave of positivity in this regard.
