Adult Swim Reveals Trailer for Toonami Original Series “FLCL: Shoegaze” [VIDEO]

The fifth season of the cult hit series, “FLCL: Shoegaze” will premiere Saturday, September 30 @ midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim’s popular anime block Toonami. Directed by Yutaka Uemura and featuring an electrifying soundtrack from The Pillows, a trailer for “FLCL: Shoegaze” was also unveiled today.

“FLCL: Shoegaze” picks up after the events of the third season, “FLCL: Alternative.” While everyone returns to their ordinary lives, two frustrated teenagers concoct a plot to destroy the Tsuganei tower in the hopes that it will incite change.

“Coming off of his terrific work on ‘FLCL: Alternative,‘ we are so excited to have director Yutaka Uemura return to the world of FLCL,” said Jason DeMarco, SVP, Head of Anime and Action Series at Adult Swim. “After a long wait, we are so thrilled to welcome back FLCL. We hope you enjoy it!”

The latest installment of FLCL arrives on the heels of the fourth season, “FLCL: Grunge,” which is premiering new episodes every Saturday @ midnight ET/PT.

“FLCL: Shoegaze” is animated by Production I.G x NUT. It is executive produced by DeMarco and produced by Maki Terashima-Furuta (Production IG USA).

	Overview Naota is a normal boy who kills some time with a normal girl by a stream that flows underneath a bridge. Nothing unusual happens in this town. The fact that Haruhara Haruko crashes into the main character with her Vespa a short while later and subsequently hits him over the head with her Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar doesn’t really make any difference to any other day here. The at first glance unconnected, bizarre events that don’t seem to follow any pattern whatsoever don’t change anything about Naota’s boring life, either – because nothing incredible ever happens in this town.
