FLCL: Alternative
This, the second FLCL sequel series, is centred on a new main cast; school girl Kana Koumoto and her friends 'Pets', Hijiri and 'Mossan'. They seem to be ordinary characters but this being FLCL they are about to get caught up in extraordinary events. These are presaged by the appearance of pink-haired, Vespa riding Haruhara Haruko and the more 'normal' Tsukata Kanda. Expect more surreal antics as they find themselves struggling to save Japan from mysterious forces.
I enjoyed this series slightly more than 'Progressive' but not as much as the original. The central characters are perhaps the most normal of any FLCL series, many of the things they do could be from any number of school girl led series... that said whenever Haruko appears things tend to get stranger and more fun. The story is solid and, as with previous series, it doesn't outstay its welcome. The animation might not be the best but it fits in with what went before. Overall I'd recommend this to those who enjoyed the previous two series.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
