Production I.G. Buys Rights to FLCL, Plans Remake

You heard right, bitches.  There's even rumours of a FLCL game potentially coming out of this deal.  More FLCL is never a bad thing!

Why, they'll be FLCL-ing all over the place!

Haven't checked the original show out yet.  Maybe I should.

The original was cool, fun and refreshingly different.

Not sure if I like this trend of making remakes out of every damn thing but others have said that with new audiences making a updated film/series to suit new viewers is a justification in itself. For the rest of us, we will still have the old version if we don't like the new one.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Dragonball Super is a sequel series though. And of course it's by Toei's apparent B unit and as such is kinda shoddy animation wise

I heard the animation's kinda all over the place: sometimes, its really damned impressive, and other times, its really off-model.  Probably because being an animator is shitwork, unless you're a member of the, like, two studios that do their own animation.

Are we talking 90's US animation-level shoddy, or Sailor Moon Crystal-level shoddy?

Am I the only one that didn't care at all for FLCL? it really seemed too 'LOL RANDOM' for me, and, well, when I usually tell people that, I get "you have no fucking taste for anything good, so your opinion doesn't matter"

... so I just go back to re-watching Log Horizon, usually.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

That tells more about the people who dissed you than anything else.

I can see how the randomness would make people dislike it and I admit that FLCL is a weird show. I thought it was fun, but that is just my opinion and even if it was my "MOST FAVOURITE BEST EVER SHOW!!!" I would still respect other peoples opinion if they didn't like it. Then again, I have always thought that the fandom wars are kinda silly.

Yes.  Now sit in your corner, plebeian.

Sailor Moon Crystal.

I'm really hoping they give us an actual ending to this instead of what was given.  Cause the story was fun up until the end.
