Why didn't its sequel catch on?Did they fail to capitalize on their "cult" status to introduce new stories/characters, or did too much time just pass?
>>286716324They tried to follow up a 10/10 that was deeply informed by its time, place and creator, and they couldn’t. They didn’t have the sauce.Even Tsurumaki might have failed, but it would have been a better chance.
it suckednext question please
>>286716388FPBP Said what I wanted to say. >>286716324>Why didn't its sequel catch on?A better question would be why did [AS] decide there needed to be a sequel to a wild, flash in the pan, lightning in a bottle, experimental, and entirely self-contained OVA with a conclusive ending.
NOT ENOUGH J-ROCK
>>286716324Not enough panty shots
Produced and commissioned by people who don’t understand FLCL, to an unrelated team that doesn’t understand FLCL, and could never in a million years hope to meaningfully contribute to it.
Already a non-starter if you can’t do character animation on the level of prime Gen 2 Gainax. That’s before we get into story ideas or characters, if you can’t meet that standard you’ve already gotten an F.
>>286716324It was a cashgrab, when they announced it the person at the stage wasn't the director, the writer but the hokder of the IP
>>286716324"dude the joke is domestic abuse" humor has overstayed its welcome
>>286716980Only sperglords equate comedic anime violence with abuse
>>286716324Because it didn't NEED a sequel and any attempt to make one was just cashing in too late. FLCL had a very tight and very finished plot.
Haruko, The Pillows, now we're fooly coolying
>>286716510i wonder what his life is like now?
>>286716324Hacks trying to cash in on other people's work in order to make themselves feel big by standing on the shoulders of giants.
>>286718699>very tight and very finishedit was literally rushed and not written well at all because they had to finish it in the allotted time
>>286719150Complications force creativity.
>>286716324Not everything, hell not even most things, needs a sequel.
>>286716324>shit anime>sequel to it is also shitI wonder?
they made FOUR sequels. All of them shit.
She was kinda cute tho
>>286719969:D
>>2867199214? I thought it had 3
>>286716324Sequels are always bad, all new works should be original. On that note, anything that reaches 100 episodes or 300 chapters is bad.
>>286721041>write a subversive coming of age story but no being subversive or anything remotely hornyBrilliance.
they shoulda let the chick go harder on her guro fetish like the new writer wanted
Haruko vore
>>286716324The toonami sequels sucked
>>286716324I thought progressive and alternative weren't without there merits. But it sad that there are better spiritual successors out there Like Girdman and G quuuuuuuuz from last year. Even though G quuuuuuz was very divisive on here I still think it felt like a great FLCL successor.
There's a sequel?
>>286721136>>286721041See this is the main issue with a lot of modern writers. They just don't have any balls. A writer doesn't necessarily have to offend but being so terrified that you might is just crippling.
>>286721041>what was appropriate for adult woman to be doing to an adolescent boy then is less nowThere are layers to the retardation on display here.
>>286716324Because we live in very dishonest, toxic positivity times. I tried to watch the first sequel and the only story that reminded me flcl was about a school beauty who dated an older guy. And even there they chicken out
Didn't the sequel get like three fucking seasons?
FLCL is already shit so why wouldn't the sequels be shit as well?
>"sequel">made by entirely different staff, working an entirely different studio>basically 20 years laterIt had the same name but nothing else in common with it
I liked it
>>286723928Shoegaze is good but both feel rushed and grudge is very very weak. I feel like Grudge could make a decent 50 minute episode if they throw away the repetition non-sense gimmick.
