This lacklustre work pales in comparison with the original OVA much more than Progressive, which can at least stand independently by itself.
Overall, it’s a weak show that feels more like a stitched-together collection of production B-sides than a stand-alone, if that makes sense.
It has a great ED and a somewhat decent development of a supporting character initially, but it’s really grasping at straws here.
In other words, compared to Progressive, Alternative felt like an afterthought. The reason for its existence is unclear.

Completely different in style and atmosphere from the previous FLCL series, and frankly quite a disappointment for a big FLCL fan such as myself. This is more of a coming of age/daily life shoujo, with some random craziness thrown in - definitely not the fast-paced boundless wackiness of the previous series. The animation and soundtrack are excellent, as before, and the plot is far more straightforward than previous series. If you're a fan, give it a try, but don't get your hopes high.

School slice of life, girls doing weird stuff, rockets, aliens, pink hair girl, rock guitar, bang!! And its end
That's Fast and Crazy! If you like the original FLCL, defintely take a watch on this. It seems like a 1 episode thing. But its all crazy, random, normal, unsync'ed, out of the box craziness all packed in 1 episode.
Recommended watch for the original fans of FLCL. 7/10 for me... hoping for more to come.
