| Option 1. FLCL, to me, is more than just an OVA. It is art in motion. FLCL features great characters, authentic guitars, fantastic animation, and a great ending, not to mention stellar music. FLCL does in 6 episodes, what many animes with 20+ episodes fail to do. For these reasons, I believe that FLCL deserves a spot on the Enlightenment List. |

| Option 1. I agree with VentusCross. Plus, this is the titles that introduced me seriously to anime in 2004. FLCL didn't need a plot, but there is a very good coming of age story here. FLCL did a great job of spoofing many anime titles that were famous then (and now). and also did a good job of spoofing itself. FLCL is a laugh a minute story that never gets old no matter how many times I watch it. FLCL is an example of how Studio Gainax did such wonderful work early in it's career. FLCL definitely belongs in the Enlightenment List. |
| Option 1 because it's got a vespa. JK, I won't be voting here, just wanted to share my love for Haruko's Vespa SS 180. |

| I'll just second the posts made before and probably after this one. Option 1 because it's fucking FLCL. |

| It is made of excellence and deserves to be on our Enlightenment list. (my vote) It's awesome. No further explanation. |
| Option 1 Normal logic is not enough to express what FLCL has to say. Problems and solutions are all totally overblown; strong emotional reactions erupt into fighting robots and pink-haired aliens smashing them with guitars. It doesn't make any logical sense, but it's not just random; there is a sequence of events, and it does mean something, while its crude, self-deprecating humor keeps it light and easy to take in. The animation looks amazing, even if it can't decide what it actually wants to look like, and the soundtrack rocks beyond belief. |
| It's pretty awesome that FLCL is getting pretty much unanimous appraisal in this thread. The series seems to get quite a bit of hate on these forums. Anyway, I think it's an easy option 1. I love coming of age stories and this is a very unique spin on the theme, with some of the very best music in anime. I agree with VentusCross, FLCL is pretty much art. |

| Option 1 So yes, I agree it deserves to be on our enlightenment list. |
| Wow, nothing but a tide of Enlightenment votes... *cough* ...well, this is awkward. I can't really speak my full mind yet, because I still need to finish the series. But from what I've seen, (which is a paltry 1 episode) I really didn't like it. Guess I'm off to go watch it before I say any more... |

To quote the show: "Eating ramen that tastes really bad can be kind of fun, too." If you do watch it, you might not like it, but it'll probably leave an impression. At the very least, you'll have seen something unique. |
| It is made of excellence and deserves to be on our Enlightenment list. (your vote) I will elaborate later. I'm too tired right now. |

| "It is made of excellence and deserves to be on our Enlightenment list." Currently standing as my #5 all time fav, FLCL is a bizarre, hilarious and impactful coming of age story filled to the brim with symbolism that may seem a little easy to pick up on, but is incredibly insightful and adds a whole new dimension to the story. It's also very heartfelt and doesn't pull any punches, going full throttle with its experimental story and not treading on any details or holding your hand. I probably elaborated on it more on the Enlightenment thread, but in the end, I loved almost every second of it with my only gripes being that it is a little slower and unfocused in the first half than in the latter, but is still immensely fulfilling. |
