A coming-of-age themed story accompanied with inventive animation and rock music by the Japanese rock band, The Pillows. A true passion project by the series’ director, Kazuya Tsurumaki. 17 years later, Production I.G, the studio that co-created FLCL alongside Studio Gainax released two sequels, FLCL: Progressive and FLCL: Alternative. Embarrassing, generic, boring, are just a few of the words commonly used to describe these sequels by its audience. The aim of this paper is focused on the first sequel, FLCL: Progressive, to figure out why such a large portion of the FLCL fanbase did not enjoy it. By utilizing the reader-response theory and analyzing reviews from FLCL: Progressive and categorizing the responses this research paper gives an insight to the FLCL fanbase’s thoughts of the series and comparisons to the original.

Lastly, I would also like to pay special regards to my parents for supporting me and pushing me to achieve my goals. 1 1 Introduction After the massive success of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Kazuya Tsurumaki at Studio Gainax took on a passion project and directed Fooly Cooly (or FLCL for short). This six-episode OVA1 became massively popular and garnered a cult following. At first viewing the series can be perceived as pure chaos. The animation switches back and forth between different styles, even copying other animated series such as South Park at times. The plot is hard to follow and the visuals on screen is not helping you to understand what is going on either. Robots sprouting from people’s heads, and chainsaw-like bass guitars being used as weapons to defeat said robots. But behind all the craziness going on there is a coming-of-age story about a young boy who is struggling to act his age. 17 years after its release, Production I.G., the studio that co-created the original FLCL, made an announcement that together with the American streaming website, Adult Swim, they will be releasing a second and a third season of FLCL called FLCL: Progressive and FLCL: Alternative. With a new lead studio, new directors, and a new production team, the fans were skeptical but hopeful. And so, in the autumn of 2018 the two sequels were released, but the fan response was rather poor. It is not uncommon that sequels and remakes of old classics do not live up to the originals. This research focuses on the FLCL fanbase regarding this phenomenon. Why is FLCL: Progressive not as well received as the original? Utilizing the reader-response theory and analyzing reviews from FLCL: Progressive, this thesis offers an insight to what the FLCL fanbase thinks of the franchise’s first sequel. What parts about it were appreciated as well as what parts about it were less appreciated. 1 Original Video Animation. A Japanese animated series released for home video formats prior to having a televised or theatrical release. 2 2 Background 2.1 Overview The original FLCL was released in Japan from 2000-2001 as a six-episode OVA. Produced by Studio Gainax, the same studio that made the massively popular Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995-1996) and directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, who was the assistant director for the Evangelion project. Screenwriter for the series was Youji Enokido who also served as screenwriter for Neon Genesis Evangelion. The series was also co-produced by Production I.G. and music licensed by King Records.

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

    UNIT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 UNIT 1 - DIGITAL INFORMATION UNIT OVERVIEW Students explore the way computers store and represent complex information like numbers, text, images, and sound. The unit begins with students investigating what it means to represent information, and challenges students to design their own representation systems. Students then learn the ideas behind real-world systems used to represent complex information. Later lessons focus on the challenges that arise from digitizing information, such as the need to compress it, or questions of intellectual property. The unit project emphasizes the profound impact digital information has on modern life. UNIT PHILOSOPHY AND PEDAGOGY ESTABLISHING A STRONG CLASSROOM CULTURE: This unit is designed to be hands-on, collaborative, and exploratory. A major focus of the unit is building a positive classroom culture in which students work together, explore problems, and communicate about their thinking. Most lessons either feature physical manipulatives or a digital widget, and the bulk of lesson time should be spent with students exploring these tools together to develop an understanding of the concepts they highlight. The course intentionally does not start with programming since, in many classrooms, some students have experience with programming and others do not. Choosing to begin with digital information and the internet lets you build community in the room while exploring a topic that is likely to be accessible to all students. The supportive and inclusive classroom environment built in this unit should help set a positive tone that can be carried through the school year.

  • What Is Anime?
    1 Fall 2013 565:333 Anime: Introduction to Japanese Animation M 5: 3:55pm-5:15pm (RAB-204) W 2, 3: 10:55am-1:55pm (RAB-206) Instructor: Satoru Saito Office: Scott Hall, Room 338 Office Hours: M 11:30am-1:30pm E-mail: [email protected] Course Description This course examines anime or Japanese animation as a distinctly Japanese media form that began its development in the immediate postwar period and reached maturity in the 1980s. Although some precedents will be discussed, the course’s primary emphasis is the examination of the major examples of Japanese animation from 1980s onward. To do so, we will approach this media form through two broad frameworks. First, we will consider anime from the position of media studies, considering its unique formal characteristics. Second, we will consider anime within the historical and cultural context of postwar and contemporary Japan by tracing its specific themes and characteristics, both on the level of content and consumption. The course will be taught in English, and there are no prerequisites for this course. To allow for screenings of films, one of two class meetings (Wednesdays) will be a double- period, which will combine screenings with introductory lectures. The other meeting (Mondays), by which students should have completed all the reading assignments of the week, will provide post-screening lectures and class discussions. Requirements Weekly questions, class attendance and performance 10% Four short papers (3 pages each) 40% Test 15% Final paper (8-10 pages double-spaced) 35% Weekly questions, class attendance and performance Students are expected to attend all classes and participate in class discussions.

  • ANDY: How Did CN/Toonami Learn About Big O to Begin Looking Into Airing It?
    ANDY: How did CN/Toonami learn about Big O to begin looking into airing it? DEMARCO: A friend of ours at Bandai America, a man named Ken Iyadomi, sent us a tape of just the opening song and animation. We were immediately like “WHAT IS THIS AND HOW DO WE GET IT ON TOONAMI.” At that point, the show had not yet premiered in Japan. Why was Big O chosen to air on Toonami? What made it special? What drew you or your team to it, especially since it had failed in Japan and was cancelled— cancelled on a cliffhanger, of all things, too? Most of the Toonami team are people that grew up on giant robot/tokusatsu shows like Voltron, Ultraman, Gaiking, etc, so we were already primed to love the design of Big O. Combined with the clean, Batman The Animated series influenced animation and the great Queen-esque theme song, we felt like it was a show that might connect with a broader audience in the US. When did you get the idea to help produce more Big O? What was the catalyst to put yourself and CN in that position? What made Big O so special to pursue something this big? That idea came from Mike Lazzo, who runs Adult Swim. He was a big fan of the show and suggested to me that we call Bandai and see if they might be open to creating another season as a co-production. It’s not really that the first season perfomed particularly well; it’s just that we really loved it and wanted more! Director Kazuyoshi Katayama recalls CN having two requests for season 2: more action and to “reveal the mystery.” Can you elaborate on that? That may be his recollection, but that’s not mine.
