FLCL Progressive
Top 6 Summer Anime
The anime that made very little sense, even after multiple viewings, finally got its highly anticipated second season, and there’s still a third coming later this year. Short and sweet, this six-episode follow up to the original 2013 hit FLCL, or Fooly Cooly, picks up years after the adventures of the guitar-swinging investigator and the boy that literally attracts trouble. FLCL Progressive follows Hidomi Hibaijiri, the latest FLCL protagonist that can’t realize her full potential until the mysterious, kick-butt Haruko stumbles into her life as a new teacher at Hidomi’s school. It’s not long until the war between Medical Mechanica and Fraternity crash-lands onto Earth, sparking Hidomi’s hidden abilities and kick-starting yet another heart-pounding adventure that may make a bit more sense than its original. No-one can really go wrong with FLCL as it contains enough comedy in six episodes to fill an entire 13-episode run, and enough wacky, robot-bashing action that won’t allow you to tire of the series for even a minute. The show initially ran earlier in the summer, but re-runs are still being shown on Toonami with a theatrical release coming soon.
