Many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth? What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota? And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?

Where it came from
FLCL Progressive was produced by Production I.G and released in 2018 as a direct sequel to the cult classic 2000 original series. Conceived as part of a multi-season revival alongside Alternative, the series aimed to expand the legacy of the Gainax-era franchise while introducing a new protagonist, Hidomi Hibajiri, and exploring the psychological themes of adolescence through a lens of surrealist sci-fi. Production was overseen by a team of veteran creators who sought to balance the frenetic energy and signature visual style of the first series with modern animation techniques.
The series received a complex critical reception, largely due to the monumental task of living up to its predecessor's reputation. While the music and character designs were noted for maintaining the spirit of the franchise, critics were divided on the pacing and the narrative focus compared to the original's condensed six-episode run. Despite these critiques, it remains an essential piece of the modern FLCL canon, documenting the evolution of Production I.G’s stylistic approach in the late 2010s.
