    As hard as it is to believe, its worse than Progressive.

    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.

    A Geninuely Good Adaptation of FLCL

    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.

    Non Gainax = not FLCL.

    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.

    Keeping the essence

    Wow, i wasn't expecting too much from this sequel (don't get me wrong) but damn, its the finest sequel of the series, yeah, for me the original always will be the best, but this one, is good as flcl style. The animation is fine, the songs are fine, and remember a lot of the original, and got the same vibe as the first, if you ask if is worth to watch, YES, if you like the 2000 flcl, you will prob like this one, i really felt a connection between the characters and me, something that progressive didn't make it, and i hope grunge and shoegaze be the same vibe, to keep the fooly cooly essence. If you want to spend some afternoon watching some anime to relax, this one, trust me.

    Still more enjoyable then progressive

    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.
