Tell writers what you think, even if you hate it. Now that the initial excitement is over, here's my scene-by-scene breakdown of the FLCL Season 2 trailer. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhW81Ekacf4
Let me just say that this is my take on what we're seeing.
1. Looks like the aftermath of season 1. You can see ‘Naota 2’ with cat ears and a torn skirt.
2. New character. Looks really cool. Attitude aside, she reminds me of Kitsurabami from season 1. However, she has a guitar with her (NOT Naota’s) and her Cadillac has no driver, so I’m thinking alien like Haruka.
3. Our first good look at ‘Naota 2.’ Cute, gloomy, probably angst-ridden and bored (sounds like Naota at the beginning of season 1, huh?) Also, look in the background. A baseball poster and a cat drawing similar to some imagery from season 1. We get a quick shot of her headphones before going outside to the bike rack and seeing THE Vespa. The license plate now reads ‘43-4something’.
4. A quick moment of a robotic eye looking at us and then away. Looks very ‘Medical Mechanica’ to me.
5. A quick close-up of Naota 2’s eyes (with glare indicating she’s looking at a laptop), followed by a scene of a giant red eye looking at her. The red of the eye is reminiscent of Atomsk’s form in the original season. Naota 2 is wearing the same dress as in scene 1 and the camera angle is the same (parts of a dream sequence, maybe?).
6. New character. Teenage boy with glasses, has a bandage on his head similar to Naota’s from Episode 1. Although his hairstyle is similar to Naota’s, the color and facial features are very different.
7. Shot of Naota 2 in bed in her PJs, still wearing the ears, with her phone going off. BUT WTF IS THAT LIGHT COMING FROM BEHIND HER WINDOW CURTAIN!!!
8. Quick shot of White Hair looking through binoculars. Again, reminds me of Kitsurabami.
9. Blonde lady in a classroom. Looks ditzy. A school teacher, maybe? (We know from earlier info that Haruka makes her entrance as a substitute teacher, but this is clearly not her).
10. MEDICAL MECHANICA PLANT!!! (Looks like stock footage, though).
Quick side note: THE PILLOWS ARE BACK!!!!!
11. Cool looking humanoid robot with a white finish and a blue, glowing faceplate. Calling her ‘Canti 2.’
12. Glasses Guy is pulling Naota 2 at a rapid pace, probably fleeing from something, while she looks confused. He may know more about what’s going on than others. (Also…THOSE EYEBROWS!!!!!)
13. We see a robot flying through the air. Looks like he might have the same eye we saw in point 4.
14. What we all came to see: HARUKO HARUHARA!!!!!
That's it. 42 seconds of awesomeness. Makes it hard to wait for next year to see what comes of this.
