Grunge was bad in every aspect but i have hope for shoegaze to be good! I watched the first episode and i was really impressed. You should definitely make a video on it when it finishes.
it was pretty good. but you got an opinion, not everyone can like the same thing. Anyway I enjoyed it for very different reasons. I think the fanbase is searching for something that the original had, that they will never ever find. That is, watching FLCL for the very first time.
I'm glad FLCL is getting some more attention and love. However I hate how much the show fell off and is continuing to fall off hard. But I think it just brings more attention and appreciation to the original. They really just gotta stop bringing old shit back from the dead and making them dogshit.
I'm in the minority opinion that enjoyed Grunge's visual style (yes I know it looks rough and low budget, but I find a charm in that) but after the third episode ended I was so ungodly underwhelmed that it may have easily cemented Grunge as the worst of these sequels. Such a nothingburger of a plot. The promo material gave me the impression it'd be much higher stakes and do something radical and new, only to deliver an ending that effectively proved my time was wasted. Thankfully, Shoegaze has been a much better experience so far. It's basically a sequel to Alternative, which I thought was a great show that meant a lot to me when I first watched it (although it would be better off without the FLCL branding tbh), and episode 2 utilizes this for an emotional payoff that means more than anything else these sequels have ever provided. Also, Shoegaze doesn't have Haruko in it (yet) so that's a huge plus I don't get why, with these two-season orders, they start off with a disappointing rehash of the OG that bums everyone out and then follow it up with an actual good show that no one gives credit because they were burned by the one before it. I'm impressed they've managed to make this mistake twice in a row
If Progressive and Grunge never existed, and we only got Alternative and Shoegaze, which feel more like spiritual successors that respectfully pay homage to the OG while doing their own thing, then I genuinely think the sequels as a whole would have a far better reputation
Gainax and the pillows…it will never be replicated. Same with futurama’s return. Let it die and stop milking franchises. I no longer have interest in old series returning because of it.
you have to cover progressive and alternative please!!! they have this issue as well unfortunately it tries too hard and feels like they drag a 3 ep story to 6
Adult swims should let FLCL go, nothing said. They already fumbled progressive,They fumbled alternative,They now fumbled Grunch, and then their gonna fumble shoegaze. HOW DID ADULT SWIM FUMBLED A SHOW FOUR TIMES! FOUR DAM TIMES?!? All I am saying to adult swim is that they should let go of FLCl already. It's had It's magic, but it's to let go of it.
@@nihilisticnerd Alternative is very different than the first show but it still focuses on the characters. Shoegaze is only three episodes, but I still enjoyed it too though it should have been six episodes just like the rest.
Just saw shoegaze. It was already trash. Obnoxious. Rushed. Forced; and the main character would not shut up. We get it; you hate things!; you know else hates things? Everyone else whose been in their teens! And once again the red headed girl whose name i already forgotten was sexualized with no outstanding personality other than to be a pervy the carbon copy of mamimis' Firestarter personality which in retrospect her character has more depth than I thought. It is just the first episode but I was given more edge lord vibes, rather than just a regular teen who experiences things happening to him / world around them. Short answer: it's not worth watching.
Yeah, from the trailer she looked like a one note sex fiend. It seems the show is pervert centric. Which is dumb. Sure, there was sexual stuff in the original FLCL but it wasn't blatant and annoying. Fun fact: I actually loved Mamimi. She was my favorite character in FLCL.
@@nihilisticnerd yeah I wasn't trying to bash her character, I actually grew to like her and I think it's because she appears as a more matured renellious youth. I think that never knows best cigarette was a good example to implied her nature as someone who skips school, refuses to listen to authority, and even commiting Arson for a video game ... yeah, she has a few flaws, but they're tolerable flaws LOL
The other one was called alternative
The pillows make me sleep safe at night 😶🌫️

Me: I wish more people were aware of FLCL.

grunge was shit but shoegaze's first episode was a banger.

I haven't watched the new season of Futurama. even the advertising for it looked bad.
@@nihilisticnerd the first return was enough. Let it die. I have no interest at all.

Alt is actually good & shoegaze isn't even done lol

The original is great but I personally also like Alternative and Shoegaze.
Once I finish my "Progressive" impressions video I'll be checking those out too.

Wait it actually ended in 3 eps? lol Shoegaze feels like it is going... somewhere tough

@@ty_teynium She does push it with the unwanted sexual advances but other than that I like the character.
I liked the video
My Twitter got banned yesterday rip
At least I made good friends along the way 😁
Twitter is cancer lol.
@@nihilisticnerd being cancelled is simultaneously my sadism and my masochism
I love it 🤤
Orinoko isn't anything like a Tumblr girl.
Personality wise no, but she looks like a tumblr girl, That was the joke.
