Plot
The series centers on the misadventures of 17-year-old Kana, a high school junior who spends her days hanging out with her besties, Mossan, Hijiri, and Pets. They live unremarkable lives, until the day a Mecha falls out of the sky, along with a strange woman named “Haruko.” Her plans for Kana and her friends involve the force known as “ATOMSK.” Kana will have to risk everything to decide whether or not to help… like she really has a choice!

Broadcast History
In the United States, the series will premiere on Adult Swim's Toonami block beginning in September 2018. In Japan, FLCL Alternative will not be broadcast on television, as both Alternative and FLCL Progressive will be released as theatrical films.
