FLCL returns to Adult Swim in August

by Adam Finley, posted Jun 6th 2006 8:01AM

flclI watch pretty everything these days via Tivo, which is nice, although sometimes when I'm skipping over the "bumps" that make up the time between shows on Adult Swim I often miss important messages about the network and upcoming shows. This morning while zapping through those bumps, I caught one that said FLCL would be returning to the lineup on August 5. Of course, FLCL has been in and out of the lineup for  a long time, so this isn't  a huge surprise, but I thought fans would be interested. All six episodes will be shown, so set your DVRs. Oh yeah, and to my fellow Tivo users, the show is listed in the guide as "Fooly Cooly." It took me forever to figure that one out. While I don't think I watch enough anime to really consider myself a fan, I loved FLCL. I think their may be a deeper meaning to the show, but I just dig the great music and all the weird things that explode from Naota's head.

I prefer the original Japanese version. Better to watch it with subtitles than watching dubbed one.

The original Japanese version is much better than the dubbed one.

best dubs? Nothing has yet been able to top Cowboy Bebops dub imo.

The deeper meaning, that's actually in the show, is don't be afraid to swing.

I don't know, FLCL has one of the best dubs around. Plus, it's easy to spend hours going in to the deeper meanings of the show. I once read what appeared to be a college paper about how it's an alegory of the invasion of western culture into Japan.

dang people, this show has been available on DVD forever. If you really need to see it at all why don't you just rent or buy it? The original japanese is way better anyway on this very very very unique show.

Considering how AS has lied before about running ALL of FLCL, I'd bank on them cutting it off on episode 4 or 5.

Seriously, I know the show ran a lot, completely, but since they've flipped programming around so much, in the last year, every attempt they've made at showing FLCL hasn't lasted for more than 3-4 weeks. When you have to PROMISE to show a whole 6 episode show in it's entirety (this time), you're doing something wrong with programming that show.
