FLCL

FLCL, Furi Kuri, Fooly Cooly, the original animation written by Yoji Enokido and manga written by Hajime Ueda is a science fiction series that has been known to be quite crazy and a little perverted. FLCL is about Naota, a boy who seems to live a boring life claiming “Nothing amazing ever happens here, everything is ordinary” talking about his home town of Mabase. Until one day when he is ran over by a mysterious woman, Haruko, on a Vespa and hitting him in the head with her Rickenbacker 4001 guitar then all hell breaks loose when strange things start happening to Naota, like robots emerging from his head and fighting him! Even worse, Haruko Haruhara who ran him over starts to live at his home and seems to favor Naota very much, fighting the robots that come from his head, and always getting closer to him. The first robot that comes from Naota’s head is defeated and kind of settles down, then being known as Canti, who also starts to hanging around Naota’s house doing odd jobs for the family and when trouble starts up he can turn into a weapon with the help of Naota can shoot bullets and provide to be quite useful. Sometimes. The series is focused on Haruko’s battle to find Atomisk, the Pirate King, who has the power to manifest entire galaxies, which is a power Haruko desires.

Can you tell its hard to explain such a concept weird anime? 

It is 6 episodes of excellence. This series was what got me addicted to anime/manga in the first place so my passion lies here haha but from what I’ve learned from all my research over the years and living on FLCL World Proboards when I was 13 was that FLCL was pretty much an experiment anime, a ‘just for kicks!’ but intended for adults. The production company(FLCL production committee, Gainax, Production I.G, and Starchild Records) had no clue it would ever become as big as it did. It was only 6 episodes for heavens sake! Haha but that’s the good thing about FLCL, you know that it was pure and made for enjoyment and not for money, it doesn’t have the movies and the ova’s and the millions of run-on episodes, its no money sucker, it’s a Fooly Cooly! 

Its fun, its silly, its has great character, every character you will get to know because its such a successful short series, your gonna have to watch it a few times, maybe even high once or twice to get the full effect, but most people who give it a try will enjoy it. PLUS it has great music! The Pillows are fantastic, the entire series has The Pillows music within it, man their great…
