As reported by Variety, fans can look forward to FLCL: Grunge and FLCL: Shoegaze which are currently in production. FLCL: Grunge will be directed by Hitoshi Takekiyo (Appleseed XIII) and produced by MontBlanc Pictures. On the other hand, FLCL: Shoegaze will be directed by Yutaka Uemura (FLCL Alternative) and be co-produced by Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell, Psycho-Pass) and Studio NUT (FLCL Alternative, Deca-Dence).
FLCL is a coming-of-age sci-fi comedy that mixes in other genres like drama to spice things up, and with the additions of these two new seasons, will soon consist of five seasons. Focusing on a 12-year-old boy named Naota, there is plenty of adventures and shenanigans to be had throughout the different episodes.
The show also features an excellent soundtrack collection put together by J-pop band The Pillows, and the tease of FLCL: Grunge came with a small snippet of “Ride on Shooting Star” as a backing track. This makes it more likely that the band will be back for more with the new seasons.
