One of the co-creators of Toonami confirms that Adult Swim won't be making any more FLCL series.
Adult Swim hasn't been shy when it comes to its plans of creating original anime series. In the past, the Cartoon Network programming block Toonami has assisted in making original shows such as Shenmue The Animation, Fena: The Pirate Princess, and Blade Runner: Black Lotus to name a few. While Adult Swim still has plenty of original anime adaptations that are on the way like Junji Ito's Uzumaki, Lazarus, and Rick And Morty: The Anime, it seems that there isn't a future for FLCL.
FLCL first debuted in 2000, presenting an energetic and wild universe that saw young protagonist Naota encountering a woman who would change his life in Haruko. With a rather large hole in his head emerging that ushered in extraterrestrial threats, the series would go on to spawn four follow-up animes which include FLCL Progressive, FLCL Alternative, FLCL Grunge, and the latest, FLCL Shoegaze.
FLCL No MoreWhile DeMarco confirmed on social media that both Grunge and Shoegaze were successes for Cartoon Network when it came to ratings, Adult Swim won't be moving forward with any additional seasons exploring this universe,"For those who are wondering, Adult Swim considers Grunge and Shoegaze ratings successes and is very happy with their performance.
While this doesn't mean that another studio couldn't pick up FLCL in the future, Shoegaze might be the last time we see a new anime series spawn from the franchise. If you didn't have an opportunity to check out the latest series in the bizarre anime universe, here's how Adult Swim describes FLCL: Shoegaze,"Prequel to the original FLCL.
Are you sad to see that Shoegaze might be the grand finale for FLCL? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Fooly Cooly.
