April 1, 2016 : New FLCL – On Adult Swim
I want to preface this by saying this is not an April Fool’s joke – at least it better not be. New episodes of FLCL are going to be made! Adult Swim will co-produce 12 new episodes with Production I.G., under the supervision of series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki.
The new episodes will serve as a sequel to the original series, divided up into two, six episode seasons – which is said to premiere in late 2017 or early 2018. Below is the release summary  for these episodes:
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.
To make things even cooler, Toonami’s creative director Jason DeMarco states the original voice cast will be involved as well as The Pillows! Do you like Furry Curry! I know I do.
