[QUOTE="Professor Irony, post: 581005, member: 159"] [B]Alternative[/B] ep4 I'm pretty much in complete agreement with WMD on this. Alternative is fine, but it feels a bit like they had an outline for a show already mapped out, then when the FLCL project came up, someone said 'could this be FLCL?' The basketball scene was neat (was that rotoscoping?) but it doesn't seem to have much bearing on anything. I'd also rather hoped they might be building up to something cool with the shopping centre being owned by Medical Mechanica (shops full of irons and Canti clones, surely), so the reveal that it's just a shell over the familiar big iron is kind of a let down. I recently mentioned in conversation that I was watching the FLCL sequels and it surprises me that one person said that, of the two, they liked Alternative more as it tried to do something different. I take their point, but even if Progressive did kind of rehash the original series for its overall arc, it felt a lot more like FLCL than Alternative does. Can the last two episodes pull something together? [/QUOTE]
