Adult Swim today debuted the official trailer for FLCL: Shoegaze — the fifth season in the cult-hit FLCL anime series. The new storyline will premiere Saturday, September 30 at midnight ET/PT on the network’s anime block, Toonami. Directed by Yutaka Uemura, the Shoegazei trailer features a soundtrack from The Pillows.
Logline: 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 arrives on the heels of the fourth season, FLCL: Grunge, which is premiering new episodes every Saturday at 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).
