Furikuri 3

I personally think Alternative conveys the themes of FLCL while being it's own thing, which is a calmer version of FLCL. I will not venture to compare the show to the masterpiece that was FLCL, but it is definitely still worth watching. It is overall stylized as the original with many new attributes such as a larger cast of characters. Overall Alternative is a 7/10 in my book, but I obviously don't expect it to surpass the original as realistically most reboots do not.

Shameless trash cashing in on one of the most creative anime's ever made. @000's Fooly Cooly was innovative, delightful and twisted in it's mind blowing artwork and distinct homages to animation from Evangelion to South Park. These two new 6 episode blunders are only moderately entertaining and lack any of the depth and insider humor of the original. A strike out for Adult Swim.

FLCL was insane. But there was sense to the insanity. This was a crazy sci-fi fantasy take on male puberty, and that was where a lot of its power was from.

The moment you switch sexes, as this one does, you lose the subtext. This time around, you've got a group of seemingly uncomplicated girls one of whom has something going on (annoyingly, she is so similar to one of the other four that I kept losing track of which was which).

The girls bland adventures made up most of the first episode, and it was all less interesting than the setup for the original. The crazy fighting girl is fun in her brief moments of screentime, but overall, there's just no there there. I just watched the one episode, and see no reason to watch a second.

As awful as Progressive was, at least some effort went in. I can't say the same here. Everything from start to finish is boring and generic, the two worst sins any piece of media can commit. Despite finishing the series yesterday, I can't really give a summary, because nothing memorable enough to stick with me happened.

Kana is a 17 year old who never wants to grow or has a dream. She just wants everything to be the same and never change. However, Haru comes in to change all of that. Meanwhile, the government is trying to get rid of the giant irons which will destroy japan.

The season in my opinion was a lot more enjoyable then progressive plus Kana is a more interesting character then Hidomi.

The animation was a bit of a step down but still watchable.

It still had good lessons to learn from it .

It was pretty good season overall and just as enjoyable as the other two.
