Anime studio Production I.G. and Adult Swim announced the first information for the upcoming FLCL 2 and 3 at Anime Expo 2017, including the anime's first trailer.
Production I.G's Maki Terashima-Furuta led the panel with Toonami's Jason DeMarco, and they revealed that the sequel seasons (each spanning six episodes) will begin airing in 2018. DeMarco also confirmed that Japanese rock band The Pillows is back for both FLCL 2 and 3 with all new music. The trailer below features one of those songs.
Adult Swim and Production I.G. first announced FLCL 2 and 3 last year. FLCL originally aired in 2000, and later aired on Toonami in 2003. The original starred Naoto Nandaba, a young boy whose life is turned upside down when Haruko Haruhara hits him with her iconic yellow Vespa.
DeMarco said that FLCL 2 stars a young girl named Hidomi who runs into a substitute teacher that looks like Haruko. She and her classmate, Ide, get caught up in the conflict with Medical Mechanica. FLCL 2 and 3 are said to feature different stories.
Staff from shows like One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, My Hero Academia, Naruto, and more are said to be working on the project. FLCL 2 and 3 will air dubbed on Adult Swim's Toonami and simulcasted with subs on Adult Swim's streaming platform, DeMarco said. Production I.G. and Adult Swim are working with Toho for distribution in Japan.
Terashima-Furuta explained that they're using different staff since "the original creators that worked on it are getting old and in order to make something equally as good, we needed to do something different. That's what the original creator Tsurumaki-san said."
In other anime news, Haikyu and the Flip Flapper dubs were announced, and A Silent Voice is getting a theatrical release in the U.S. later this year. Stay tuned throughout the weekend for more announcements from Anime Expo 2017.
