FLCL: Grunge Anime Gets Canadian Simulcast

Adult Swim Canada is listing it will air the FLCL: Grunge anime simultaneously as it airs in the United States. The anime season will begin airing on September 10 at 12:00 a.m. EDT.

(Editor's Note: Although Adult Swim Canada lists the anime airing at that time as FLCL, it lists the episode title as "Shinpachi," the same title of the first episode of FLCL: Grunge that will air on Adult Swim in the U.S.)

FLCL: Grunge will debut on September 9. FLCL: Grunge and FLCL: Shoegaze are two new seasons of the FLCL anime.

Hitoshi Takekiyo is directing FLCL: Grunge at MontBlanc Pictures. The CGI anime will center on three teenagers who graduated and have started working. The anime will have a theme of the feeling of being an adult.

Yutaka Uemura (FLCL Alternative) is directing FLCL: Shoegaze at Production I.G and NUT. The anime will take place 10 years after FLCL Alternative and will center on a high school boy and girl.

The Pillows will be providing music for both anime.

Jason DeMarco, creative director of Toonami and senior vice president of action and anime for WarnerMedia, is the executive producer and Production I.G. USA's Maki Terashima-Furuta (FLCL Alternative, Fena: Pirate Princess) is the producer for both seasons.
