the mayor-daughter girl is probably the most "normal" person in this show.

Yes and no. She desperately wants to be like the prince in Pus and Boots who becomes the very thing he pretends to be; she wants to “transcend the mask.” Consequently, she constantly maintains an outward appearance of normalcy hoping that doing so will make everything normal, even when extraordinary things are happening to her such as major family problems. Her mask did crack this episode and she revealed part of her true self to Naota, but even that was just a peek. Still, I will agree that she is one of the most normal people in the show.

Such pretty animation.

Plus, the dub is good.

Usually girl characters in anime dubs sound unnatural and too soft spoken or high pitched.

But, they're unique in this one

This episode was 1000% percent better than the last one. The satire/parody here actually makes sense and isn't just jumbled up randomness everywhere. This with the nice backstory of the mayor's daughter made for a very enjoyable episode. Also insert songs and BGM were great!

I like how this episode was more focused around a more minor character
and how she turned out to be a big part of it.
Seems she really likes Naota.
His cat ears were adorable! And i do think its another form of his... sexuality. Did you hear the sounds he was making when Haruko was stroking his ears???

the thing about this anime is that you don't understand half of what is going on but some cosmic force still makes you want to watch the next episode. that's brilliant to me!

There's actually more to this episode than all the random weirdness. But sadly most people couldnt see the message its trying to deliver in this episode.
Had to rewatch to understand the whole episode.

An episode dedicated to Ninamori. Now I view her in a different light. She's just a sad child caught up in her family situation, yet deciding to put on a mature facade to cover her true feelings, which is seen as ironical; given that Naota's mature outlook isn't a facade, but something of a spite against the different situations which unfold upon him. I have a feeling she likes Naota. Great episode, with notably toned down brainstorming required, although I start to have qualms for the action in the anime, which I find as somewhat extra and unnecessary. Well, it is Gainax.

When the spider thing sprouts from Ninamori's head and she's kickboxing the robot Canti, it's hilarious when Canti ends up with her bottoms in his hands. She's still kick-fighting him bare-assed without knowing while he's stuggling to put them back on! ^_^


Bathroom? That way.


I loved that whole scene xD

I love the song that plays during the end of these robot fights too!

I can see how this is a Gainex production all right haha. Haruko gives me a Kamina vibe at times (something about a smile she gave in I think the first episode looked exactly like the Kamina smirk)

Ninamori's "monster form" looked like one of the angels from Evangelion, especifically the one that appeared while NERV's headquarters were out of power.

Man, old-school Gainax was awesome.

Still not sure what I think of this anime. I kinda like it but at the same time there's nothing in particular about it I love. I also don't really understand any more than I did last episode.

However, I really like Ninamori and though I doubt it'll happen, I'd like to see more of her. And the music's still pretty damn good

I don't have the slightest idea what's going on here. Throughout the whole episode I've been asking "WTF am I watching?!"

The black-haired chick seemed like an interesting character tho.

I'm so fucking lost in this anime and its ridiculousness, but I'm still watching it because of those reasons. laughs like a crazy person

Another crazy robot battle which came out of those cat ears which was on that little kid, but was fucking absorbed (?) by that girl Ninomori and a fucking giant monster came out of it. What the fuck.

Them eating curry made me hungry. Fuck.

Why does all those bakemono want to kill that TV robot, maaan? Haha.

The ending with Ninamori show Naota her glasses is fake is such a resonating last line. Just with that, she is saying "it's still our little secret."

I still gasp at trying to find the bigger picture, the forest around the single tree...

Was it a coincidence Ninamori's transformation came soon after the siren from Medical something resonated?
What's with that smoke it sometimes emit?
Haruko tried to break inside, last episode, it is indeed a central part of the plot.

How did she absorb his cat ears?
I feel like Canti can sense when people are either lying or hiding particular feelings, dunno which ones yet...
I feel like it's kinda obvious Canti is like connected to Naota, since it first came out of him.

I feel like the cat ears weren't a manifestation of Naota's feelings, but Ninamori's, and had to do with her wanting him to do the part of the cat at the play.

She fought with Naota who didn't want to play the part, she was angry,the siren rang and she transform... that's all intertwined I think...

Does this episode represent girl lying to herself saying I don't care but she does care very much but tries to hide it. These supressed feelings then burst out (weird spider monster), which could be unplesant in real life too, and then MC (who probably represents something too) fight it.
Message of the episode don't hide your feelings??
Also could it be her as a kid/teenager trying to avoid these feelings to be more adult-like?
I like how abstract it is but it makes sense to me because I've been through something extremely similar so that's why it makes sense?
First two episodes were very weird and kinda sensless to me but I think I'm getting grasp of it. I'm starting to like it very much...

"Blah blah bluh bluh bluhblu future.
Blah blah bluh bluh bluhblu Master."
-The soundtrack of FLCL in a nutshell.

The soundtrack and everything still suck even though we are half way through the series. And the lessons of the MC suck still. "In the end, her dad wasn't prosecuted and both of her parents didn't get a divorce". Like we care. Also, it has no relevance to the plot AT ALL. Not that there is one anyway.

I should have picked up a hentai instead of this pretentious shit.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.
