FLCL

[Psychonaut]

Right-o.

So it's an anime, and it has three names. FLCL, Furi Kuri, and Fooly Cooly.

As I recall, it's the greatest thing since cable TV, and was aired around the time that adult swim first got started on cartoon network.

Who's seen it, who hates it? Because with this annie-maye, I don't think there's much of a middle-ground to stand on. Bonus points for those who read/enjoyed he manga/comic.

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Summary</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">Naota is a whiny teenager, living in a boring town. Haruko whacks Naota with her bass guitar, which causes robots to emerge, which Haruko promptly fights.</div>

It's one of those gundam-esque shows (giant robot fights), but it's wicked funny and insanely fast-paced. And it's only 6 episodes long (roughly 2 hours length) so why not give it a shot?

DISCUSS.

It was a very successful experiment with the teams new technology. (This is what I have been told, and have not researched it.)

Very good anime!

Fooly Cooly <3


edit: Reminds me of the days when Outlaw Star played on Adult Swim :[

 

[Nightray]

I watched it, enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite anime since I first watched it.

I love it, yet to read all of the manga, but the manga has some awesome art I must say.

I forgot to mention that, and yes, it was. kinda sad that that's all it was/they didn't flesh out the story more than that, but imo, it wouldn't be the same.

the manga makes just about no sense whatsoever, so you know.

also, @ kyel, reminds me of the days when adult swim wasn't what it is today. <3 home movies & the brak show.

Can't believe the Anime only lasted 6 episodes or something.
It was pretty amazing.

it wasn't that it didn't last, it's that the main purpose of making it to begin with was just testing out new animation programs/software/technology, or something like that.

very amazing. the *censored.2.0* people will draw/conclude from two hours of near-pointless insanity is why I love this series so much.

the manga's worth a read, or at least a pass-over online if you liked the anime, btw.

Then will there be a series similar to it? 8D

At least in art style?

a decade in, I'd have to say no. but I've been wrong before, and i don't know jack *censored.2.0* about gainax, though i've heard they work in insane ways.

if you've seen/heard of tengen toppa gurren lagann, it's made by the same people, and more or less the same level of insanity, with deep, subliminal messages.
