Is this the one about the

Spoiler

communist assassin who shoots gold

or have we gone past that?

 

[Man God]

Major wearing clothes!!!

 

[ramoisdead]

i just remembered again that FLCL 2 is going to be a thing

I really hope it is worth revisiting. I'm guessing since [adult swim] was fond of the show right from the start that they give the folks making Season 2 as much creative freedom as they can want.

 

[Grexeno]

"Major! It's a dead end!"

 

[cntr]

Probably Jill

either Jill or Betty, yeah

 

[Seda]

tachikoma, adorable destructive and killing machines

 

[cntr]

...spiderweb cannons?

 

[B-Dubs]

tachikoma, adorable destructive and killing machines

With the personalities of tween girls.

 

[cntr]

seems a bit overkill to clone someone when you can construct an artificial body instead

what's the difference between cyborg food and normal food??

 

[Zonic]

do they ever go what makes cyborg food different? & what'd happen if a human tried to eat it?

 

[Seda]

flesh

 

[Seda]

I like how the tachikoma just has a gatling gun sticking out of it, pointing at anything it looks at

 

[cntr]

random creepy bear cosplay people

That one hasn't aired yet. It was called ¥€$ (YES).

 

[BBboy20]

Sounds of the Big Shell.

 

[Man God]

Language is a hell of a thing.

 

[cntr]

oh tachikoma

 

[cntr]

the major's going dental!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh wait, I remember this episode now. It took me a bit.

 

[Man God]

Sakura doing something!

 

[Zonic]

I.....THINK I remember this episode now?

 

[Man God]

LEGIT SHOOK.

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh snaps, the old lady is...

 

[ramoisdead]

Oooof, got shot in the eyes.

 

[Seda]

adorable killing machines

 

[cntr]

been a while since we've seen tachikoma fight

 

[BBboy20]

This is Morpho.

 

[B-Dubs]

Bato, she's the only one here who never needs saving...

 

[Man God]

Major away!

 

[Korigama]

"Aww, but I wanna fight some more! Eee!"

 

[Seda]

Togusa's pretty strong to handle the recoil one-handed.

..

adorable killing machines

 

[ramoisdead]

Is Lo Fidelity Allstars "Battleflag" playing right now? I haven't heard that song in ages.

 

[Man God]

It's basically the reverse of the last episode.

 

[BBboy20]

Togusa's pretty strong to handle the recoil one-handed.

I figure weapons have highly advance recoil dampening design or technology & very light materials that can still handle all that rattling.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Meh episode indeed.

 

[Grexeno]

So is there any explanation given for the rapid aging or is it just "man she been through some shit."

 

[cntr]

reminds me of old snake, though i guess this came first

i liked it, but yeah i can see why this was a forgettable episode

I can't help but question how the daughter would look EXACTLY the same as her mother when she was younger. At first, I thought she was a clone, but I don't think the show said that.

Plus, how did she age so quickly in 10 years? She's only 26, yet looks 86.

 

[Schadenfreude]

See ya next week, ToonamiGAF.

No, it was a track called Run Rabbit Junk.

Went missing for 16 years (still an old woman at only 26, though).

 

[Man God]

She went through such horrible events that linking to her ended up turning the team into gibbering mad men. Last episode was ironically about people linking to a brain showing a movie so beautiful that no one wanted to return to the real world.

 

[cntr]

I assume it was a byproduct of what she went through + that interacting badly with her early-stage cybernetics

So perhaps one of the horrible things that happened to her resulted in her rapid aging? I guess I could accept that, as I don't need to know the actual specifics, as it's better to leave it to the imagination of just what kind of shit happened to her that'd drive others crazy.

 

[BBboy20]

Backdoor shady deals.

Even these less memorable episodes are still pretty solid, they just don't stand out against the highlights.

There are a couple particularly neat Stand Alone episodes I'm looking forward to rewatching, but I don't remember if they are in Season 1 or 2, heh.

well, consider that she got kidnapped at 10 sixteen years ago, and

Spoiler

her daughter seems to be about 12 to 14 years old...

 

[Man God]

Stress related aging is entirely real. It shortens the telemeres of your DNA. It's noted often in the poorest, most war torn sections of this planet. It's also common among people with severe PTSD.

I thought she was 16 years old when she was kidnapped 10 years ago, not the other way around. Or did I just mishear it?

Edit: My bad, you're correct.
