| So I watched FLCL a few months ago and I didn't really understand the storyline, that's if there is one. It just felt like a bunch of random clips pieced together. I didn't understand anything that was hapening and the only thing that I can remember are random horns appearing on Naota's head due to the fact he was smacked in the head with a guitar many times throughout the show, I don't get it? Why do people love this show so much? Should I rewatch it and see if something clicks? |
 |
| i personally think rewatching it is a great idea, if you liked the show. if you didn't enjoy the show, i'd just leave it be and watch something you'll enjoy more. |
| Popular opinion is split between "coolest thing ever" and "pretentious collection of explosions" so maybe you won't be convinced by a second viewing. |

| The only things I remember about FLCL are the legendary OST and these kind of scenes : It's short so you could easily give it another try |

KingJoyStick said: This is one of my favorites overall so I'm biased but I enjoy FLCL more with each rewatch. Even if you're not sure a rewatch would help you understand it more do it at least for the music. I'll see if I can find some spare time to possibly rewatch it then. Thanks for the input! |

Joachim_Joestar said: The only things I remember about FLCL are the legendary OST and these kind of scenes : It's short so you could easily give it another try Very true hahaha there were alot of those type of scenes now that I think about it lmao. I may give it another shot and rewatch it. Thanks for the input! |

Strengthen said: No. It's really bad and overrated. You shouldn't re-watch it Thats how I feel about the show too lol, thanks for the input |

Thank you, I'm still torn between leaving it be and watching it due to the split opinions on this one, currently leaning towards leaving it at the moment though haha, thanks for the input! |

resolve-machine said: FLCL has a chaotic, bizarre presentation. Lots of things happen with little to none of it making sense in the moment. The first 4 episodes were, in my opinion, disjointed presentations that sometimes wanted to tell a story and sometimes just wanted to exist. The last 2 episodes actually managed to tie some of it together and have a decent message at the end imo. Is it worth rewatching? Maybe, but it’ll still have a lot of jank in presentation. I think it’s a marvel in chaotic storytelling that fails at telling a coherent story until it runs out of time but is nonetheless fun. Hmm im torn between rewatching it and just leaving the show behind, thanks for helping me on making a decision haha and also thanks for the imput! |
|
| yeah like so much was happening it didn't make any sense |

dev81 said: Tried to find a better way to put it but it is basically just an elitiist anime. You might be able to find an analysis on it and it might change your way of looking at depending on your values but idk where to find any. Personally the only thing i liked about it was the animation and the ost but i didnt really care for anything else about it. Ahh that makes sense, I'll try to find an analysis and like you said maybe it'll change my views on the show. Thanks! |

PMJ11 said: Sounds like it just wasn’t for you I don’t think a rewatch would change anything Hmm maybe not, thank you for your input! |
|
| I thought it was ok,But nothing extra. Well it is short, sooo i guess you can try again OR if you didn't like it the first time, chances are you won't like it a second time. |
Silhouette95 said: I thought it was ok,But nothing extra. Well it is short, sooo i guess you can try again OR if you didn't like it the first time, chances are you won't like it a second time. True, it was too short but personally had it been any longer it would currently be collecting dust in my dropped list haha. Thanks for the input! |
|
| Seems like the anime went over your head if you didn't get it the first time then rewatch it. If you still don't get it then watch an analysis video on it. |
ANEWNAME said: Seems like the anime went over your head if you didn't get it the first time then rewatch it. If you still don't get it then watch an analysis video on it. Alright, I'll find some time to re-watch it and hope something clicks lol, thanks for the help! |

Rittsuu said: Yea I agree, I had high expectations for FLCL and was disappointed but I wouldn’t say it is bad. If the anime was longer and went more into depth with everything and built it all up with a deeper execution it would’ve been a lot better imo but it still is just good imo. And if it had an actual storyline lol. I can relate to that, I may have went into it with high expectations and that could be a reason I found it to be pretty bad rather than seeing it as decent but I got bored of it so personally if it were any loger it would've been straight into my dropped list lol. |

I could've payed a litlle more attention too tbh but that just goes to show how boring the show is, the movies won't be on my plan to watch list then hahaha |
|
| Me too, but I don't want to use my time for rewatch that because it makes me sleepy lol If you really want to, yes just do it |
 |
| FLCL is the third best anime of all time IMO, right behind JoJo and Death Note. If you don't enjoy it, I don't know what I can say. I suppose I could recommend the sequel series, FLCL Progressive. It's basically the same, but they toned down the wackiness, action, explosions, humor, and most notably, quality. |

JohnnyDee said: Yeah as others mentioned, this is the definition of a love it or hate it series. If you dont like it and what it offers, idt a rewatch will change your mind. If you wanna try anyways, its only 3 hours of content though, so you wont waste too much time. Yeah good point, thanks for the help! |

Hmm I'll check it out. Like others said it seems to be an enlitist anime so not sure a rewatch would be any good so thanks for giving me other options and reccomending the sequel! |

NitinKumar10224 said: I didn't understand it too, its the only anime which i have completed but didn't rate I like to rate all the anime I watch lol, I rated FLCL a 5 or 6 I believe, looking back now I think a good rating is 4 or 5 personally but thats all down to opinions lol. Did you just think it was so bad you didn't want to rate it? Or did you just not think it was worth rating lol, either way, thanks for the help! |

marwan726 said: FLCL is definitely not for everyone, I personally love the show but I can 100% understand why a lot of people don’t get it and don’t really like it. I’d say if you didn’t like it the first time, chances are you won’t like it the second time either. Yeah, personally it was a little boring most likely as I didn't really understand what was happening half of the time haha. Thanks for the help! |

Did you just think it was so bad you didn't want to rate it? Or did you just not think it was worth rating lol, either way, thanks for the help! Yeah I get that haha, half the time it was big explosions across the screen and the next minute there was a huge horn stucking out of his head haha |
