Yeah, same here. But there are only a few titles I really want, and I donāt expect Funi to announce any of them. But I could be wrong, you never know.
The whining on many forums is rather entertaining though

What are those? Tell me in PM.

I think you should know the BIG one. I donāt keep too quiet about it.
Great? I didnāt understand any of it. I must be the only person in existence who didnāt like it AND thought Excel Saga was meh. At least thatās the vibe I get from other forums.
Music in it is great though
I agree with you completely, I must have watched this several times and each time I was like⦠WTF? I just donāt get it. :unsure: Donāt get Excel Saga either (I mean, I get it, but I donāt get why everyone likes it).
I only mentioned Excel Saga because, from what Iāve seen lurking ANNās board, you either like FLCL and hate Excel Saga or hate FLCL and like Excel Saga.
I was hoping for more LA announcements. Funiās Twitter page said the last two days will be anime titles.
Yay for getting FLCL for a reasonable price!
Glad to see it being kept available as it is one my favorite anime. The only anime I ever thought was worth buying two episode disks of. Also bought the soundtrack CD.

prede has been waitingā¦
Yesā¦Yes I have. The best thing ever created by mankind can now be back in print. This was full of win! Funi rules the day Even though I already have the show of course, Iāll double dip for this baby. Anyone willing to save this, deserves some money from me. I originally bought this as it was coming. Actually I bought the first volume, my mom bought me the other two, because I had NO money. I didnāt even have to ask her, she was nice enough to offer when I was in the store
.
Also why did you guys want more live action stuff? Ewwā¦
The hate/dislike for this one on these forums really hurts me. I donāt see how you can hate this one guys. Also I didnāt think Excel Saga was bad. Itās not anything amazing, but itās a cool little show. But REALLY REALLY shallow. I see no comparison in the shows, execpt maybe they are both very fast paced. FLCL on the other hand is incredbly deep, imaginitively told, perfectly animated, has a godly soundtrack, and is the best coming of age story ever told. This series manages to convey what teenage boys feel/think/are etc. within 6 episodes, where whole TV shows miss the mark completely. But itās much more then that too, it refferences tons of other Ganiax shows, it has many interesting things hidden beneath the surface, it has some of the coolest and most interesting characters in all of anime, and itās down right hilarious at times. This series is the best thing mankind has ever created. Itās a shame though, because many will try and make something better, but they canāt. Itās not their fault either. Itās just FLCL is so good, no one can hope to outdo it. I rank FLCL above the invention of the airplane, the automobile, typewriter, computer, and printing press. Hell even the wheel. Guess itās not fair to rank it with the invention of animation, since it wouldnāt exists without that, but stillā¦
FLCL I watched a few times. It was okay, but not something I ever wanted to buy, unless it was cheap. Which it will be, eventually, unless Funiās learned to cut back production on this stuff too.
Iām being blunt about this.
It bored me. I didnāt like Naota. I didnāt like Mamami. I never laughed out loud.
It didnāt make any sense, no matter how many times I watched it, I never saw a point to it. So many people say it is a coming of age story, but I just donāt see it.
The best part about the series was the music - canāt deny that was some good guitar work.
It makes perfect sense man. Itās so simple really, the story could be told in a few paragraphs. I canāt imagine anything simpler. Itās not like Lain or anything. I canāt see how this is confuseing. But I watched it so many times it feels completely sane to me. Really I lost track at how many times Iāve seen this. But every time I notice something new.
Read this review. It explains the story quite nicely. Although Iād rank it MUCH higher. 10/10 for everything .

Ok, I donāt remember if I said the āHā word or not, I hope I didnāt, I just meant that I didnāt āgetā it. Still donāt.
And perhaps the second sentence above is why⦠teenage boys⦠since Iām not and never was⦠oh bother. Never mind. Still donāt get it. :dry:
Teenage grils could relate somewhat to it too. Itās not at all alienating. But this really works well at getting into the teenage boys mind . But Itās just a story about growing up guys, and everyone has done that. While guys may get more out of it, I think anyone could understand it.
It bored me. I never laughed out loud.
That pretty much sums it up as I see it.
The best part about the series was the music
Though I have to disagree with this.
The soundtrack to this was just atrocious to me. Quite possibly the furthest thing from my musical tastes as any anime could probably get.
Pretty good review. But Iām afraid I still donāt see it. One thing that I saw a few times was āhides the truth.ā To be honest, I do not care for that in an anime. I watch to be entertained and to have fun, not to gain some higher understanding of something.
What can I say? I never āconnectedā with Naota. Iād say we had very different experiences as teenagers, and thatās before the alien chick showed up at his door And I was even watching this when I was an adolescent, so if I didnāt get it then, Iād say my chances are not so good now. Iād need to watch it one more time (as much as I donāt want to) to point out more specifically why I didnāt like it.
If you want to watch shallow and popcorn stuff thatās cool. But every form of media has that. One of the things that attracted me to anime in the first place was shows that were deep like FLCL. Only in anime are there shows like that. Shows that were smart, clever, and have some great meanings behind them. Crazy, out of this world, creative, and different. Yupā¦only in anime. Yes I like to be enterained, but thatās only part of it.
Another thing I remembered hating was the random monsters. I remember thinking āwhy is this monster here, I donāt see the point.ā It drove me nuts.
I remember disliking Mamami also. IIRC, she is a high school dropout? I hold people like that in low regard. Her voice was annoying, too.
Now I actually want to see it again, so I can bring a better discussion to the table
Well I have a feeling that your opinion wonāt change much on this one. Ganna have to chalk up to different tastes man. But out of all the anime Iāve seen, nothing has blown me away like this. Itās a unique show.
I like FLCL it was one of those anime that made me feel happy about my life. IF it true that there not going to old voice actor, I wonder why? I like the old story, and I was hope for an season 2.
I would really like that going into space and fighting the Pirate king.
