Adult Swim celebrates this year's April Fool's by running a new FLCL episode months ahead of schedule
Adult Swim is notoriously generous when it comes to its April Fool’s Day pranks, with stunts like last year’s unexpected Rick & Morty premiere delighting fans (and sending those of us tasked with covering these sudden content drops running to our keyboards on a Saturday night). Now, the network has reportedly done it again, broadcasting the first episode of one of its two planned new seasons of anime cult hit FLCL this evening, at midnight on April 1. Oh, and just to twist the weirdness knife a little more: The network broke with its usual anime practices and broadcast the episode in Japanese, with English subtitles.
