So they accidentally aired episode 7 of Dr. Stone last night instead of 6. To make up for it, they're going to air 6 next week and reair 7 the week after.

I think it would have been a better call to air 6 and 7 together and drop one of the repeats, but they probably like having another week to stall whatever their next show is.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Yeah, it's probably human error and it's not like it matters in the long run, but there's still a part of my brain going "Well maybe this wouldn't have happened if DeMarco stopped wasting his time posting pompous shit or retweeting someone with braindead takes on Twitter instead of delegating it all to Master Control". My sympathy's just not there anymore.

We've got trailers.

What's the third trailer? I'm on vacation right now in Canada, so it's geoblocked for me.

So, I guess the new seasons of FLCL are three episodes each instead of the usual six.

That's a misleading clickbait title. What Jason says even contradicts it.

QuoteBut while he's confident the IP will endure, he doesn't think Adult Swim will keep cranking FLCL entries out forever after Grunge and Shoegaze roll out.

Did people like the CGI FLCL show? I haven't seen people talk about it a positive light, if at all.

I personally think it's alright. It's way better than the previous two seasons, which were boring as hell. This one at least tries to make up for the mistakes of Progressive/Alternative by having more energetic, dynamic animation like the original series rather than looking dime-a-dozen like the previous reboot.

It sucks that it's only 3 episodes though rather than six. It certainly seems like it could use more fleshing out rather than wrapping everything up so quickly.

This has been a weak year for Toonami. No real new shows, just new seasons of previous series (including the FLCL shows here), and the block seems to be running on autopilot harder than ever. It's pretty lame.

Yeah, the lack of anything big combined with DeMarco being such a douche on Twitter (I saw him shitting on Matthew Vaughn today, and dude, you're a TV producer on social media. No wonder you lose shows like Demon Slayer if you're burning bridges like this), I'm just apathetic to Toonami in its current state.
