Is there even anything to expand on? Can they get the old Gainex team and the Pillows back? I'll go into this with an open mind. But if they can't get back the old team then I don't see the point.

Updates! Expect it to show up late 2017 to early 2018!

Also, plot description!

In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.

But why did Haruko return to Earth? What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota? And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?

It was announced when I was on a trip and will be for the rest of this weekend. I don't have the time to justify everything I want to say in reaction to this!

Whew! Caught up with Dimension W and Samurai Champloo before tonight's lineup. Did anything worth mentioning happen in DBZ or One Piece?

Seeing the most recent news, looks like I gotta watch FLCL eventually too.

Perfect. [tup]

If I had known Samurai Champloo was just a recap episode then I would've skipped it.

Really glad I caught Dimension W, though.

If that's the premise for FLCL 2, then I'm cautiously optimistic.

FLCL is getting a new season, huh? Color me surprised.

And now for a DBZ fun fact: Android 17 and 18's real names are Lapis and Lazuli.

While I don't mind watching it on my own, it would be nice if Toonami reruns the original for folks like me who missed the premier.

@ Rojixus: Toriyama revealed it in a Q&A session for one volume of a full color re-issue of the manga a few years back. ([nja]) I guess it's better than calling them 17 and 18 all the time, but one wonders why their parents named them after gemstones.

@ Tsukkomi: Yeah, I agree. It'd be great for helping those who missed it (either on [as] or Toonami) get up to speed for the new series.

Well it makes about as much sense as the Briefs family being named after undergarments and the Saiyans all named after vegetables.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

What do you mean there's a family of "Briefs"...

Was the name "Trunks" not enough for him?

@ Tsukkomi: Oh, it gets worse. Vegeta and Bulma's second child is named Bra. Toriyama also revealed that the first name of Mrs. Brief (Bulma's mom) is Panchy (as in Panties), and in Dragon Ball Super, Bulma's older sister Tights makes an appearance. And you thought the Saiyans being named after vegetables was weird.

I am facepalming.

I am very amused, but I'm still facepalming.

I feel trolled, yet I have no reason to believe that you're lying.

I need a minute to absorb this...

Given the recent activity, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no new content for at least this week.
