| Hahaha! Yeah, I also found that there. And the way Naota reacts is the way I like it. Hahaha! How the child come to be adult, eh?! |
     |
| This was one of the most weird animes, I've ever seen. The creators must have been high, when they thought about making this xD Overall, this was really good. Gets a 9/10 :) |
| Correction: They had just made NGE. They needed a break. If you've seen NGE, you know you really don't need drugs anymore. Now imagine creating it. |

|

| since most of you guys seem to think the story makes no sense whatsoever ill try sum it up. FLCL is a huge metaphoric anime, you could say its story about the sexual development stage of a boy. the story begins when Haruko ("investigator for the Galactic Space Patrol Brotherhood") opens a portal in naota's head with her guitar in her attempt to find atomsk the priate king, robots come out of this portal when hes sexual active. all the robots including Canti come from Medical Mechanica. Medical Mechanica wants to iron out the wrinkles in brain to make everyone dumb. the iron is expressed as that big ass factory/iron in the middle of the town which puts out steam. The hands are expressed throughout the episodes as the robots. Towards the end of the OVA series there are big hands which come close to flatten the town with the iron. Noata saves the day with the powers of the pirate king. Actually you need to watch the whole series to know wtf is going on. even then you might still be a bit confused. Gainax has a tendency to fk with peoples heads |

| I get the story, but overall I didn't think it was that great. 7/10. |
 |
| I kind of expected an ending like this. It was good, yet it feels a bit incomplete. It was still a very awesome series though, and the fight between Naota and Haruhara was pretty cool. |
 |
| the series was horrible. I like random but....erm. no. 2/10. |
| It seems pretty resolved to Me. Everyone went along there 'merry' way. I'd get more into it, but I'm not sure if spoilers are allowed. I'm kinda new to the site |
| "I'll take a potato chip....AND EAT IT!!!!" |
| i think it ended in a great way without making it feel all resolved in a sappy way cause pretty much that wouldn't make sense with the premise they had with the randomness, crazyness, mindf*ck story they were going with it. For a 6 episode ova series its pretty damn awesome. I enjoyed it alot due to its difference which in all trying something different is what gets us somewhere. |
| Sucks. 6/10 |
| I didn't like the ending. I hoped that they would summed it up better, but oh well. Anyway it was enjoyable and a unique series. |
 |
| The problem I had with the ending was that Naota really didint change much. He grew up a little, saving the world, expressing his love for Haruka. But You see him later in High School acting the same. Thats what really took away from the story, imo. Thats why it doesnt have a "resolved feeling" to it. |
| Ok ok...THAT was epic.... |
| Riiight. Not the best ending ever, I think i preferred the 5th episode. Very good anime, completely insane, but really entertaining. |
 |
| Awesome. |
 |
| Ahh man my favorite anime. Ever. I started watching this because I remember seeing some of it before with my older sister years ago. It makes me feel so nostalgic. But yea, it was good in a way that it was so short, so it doesn't spoil like all those animes that drag on for too long. |
 |
| I don't get any of this...I don't know and I was asleep for one episode. Definitely, not my type. 4/10 |
| I love it! Its totally random and thats what makes it so awesome! I watched it all in one day!! |
| Naota's father: "Let's be a normal anime!" ... No way, José! This was far from being normal xDD I liked it, although I didn't really get everything there is to get, I believe. Rail_Man said: The problem I had with the ending was that Naota really didint change much. He grew up a little, saving the world, expressing his love for Haruka. But You see him later in High School acting the same. Thats what really took away from the story, imo. Thats why it doesnt have a "resolved feeling" to it. Can't agree here. I think it emphasized that Naota IS really a kid. Yes, he wanted to grow up and be acknowledged as an adult, but in reality, he still is a kid. That's why in the end, both Haruko and Mamimi leave him and he's finally free from being torn between those two stages (being a child and being an adult). In the end, he's left in the stage in-between to begin growing up for real. I guess...xD" Might be totally wrong though. Anyway, I quite liked this. 9/10. :3 Pyon! |
| I really love this anime! XD |
 |
| Despite the randomness and wierdness and WTF? moments this show was great, 8/10. |

| One on the most crazy thigns we've ever seen. Though I haven't understoond many moments but anime is great. |
| The animation was fantastic and so was the soundtrack. The first episode hooked me up and the rest disappointed me 4/10 |
 |
| Quite a bit of a dividing line for this series between everyone I suppose. Great Anime, awesome clusterfuck but to really get it you need to watch it again and then again if your still lost. Doable with a short series like FLCL but still a drag. 7/10 |
| fooly cooly stands for preverted touch so breast fondling |
| Um seriously wth not the worst ending I've seen but definitely not the best. Q_Q No Naota x Mamimi at the end |
| Fully Coolly! 'nuff said. |
yusana said: fooly cooly stands for preverted touch so breast fondling Yeah that sounds about right. gotta lol at the complete lack a sense and reason though |
| I finished it yesterday, I saw everything at once and all I have to say is "Insane" - certainly the best word to describe this whole series. Of all things that can be said about FLCL "normal" is not one of them. XD |
... |
| The ending was... meh, but the anime was truly epic and incredibly hilarious. It would have been better if they went together to space >.< |
| Do you need to FULLY understand a visual/graphical story to be entertained and amused by it? No. This was the most refreshing and inventive piece of media I've seen in a very long time and a hilarious, fast-paced and chaotic one at that. Not to mention a superb soundtrack and overall production values, funny (and literally invencible) characters, other works and franchises references and parodies and a lot of "hidden" sex jokes/puns. Definitely an anime... and original, wild, daring piece of pure entertainment... to remember, rewatch, find new details and be be amused everytime. |

| Best episode of the series but the ending was weird. |
 |
| It ended as senseless as the whole show. Well... I guess... Furi Kuri? |
| okaaayy :) intersting ending,4/5 and for FLCL 6/10 |

| Through this whole series I never got bored once. This show was able to catch my attention and hold it. 100/10 My number one show... ever. |
| The ending seemed kinda lacking something, but it was Ok, just not the kind of sad or happy ending or anything, 4/5 And for the whole anime 8/10, it's really well made, but I'm not that into it, I think I should read the manga |

FLCL gets 8/10. |
| kk. Lame ending but the rest were hilarious it get, let's seee...... 6/10 !! |
     |
| Even after completing the series, I was still utterly confused. Very funny throughout tho. 7/10 for me |
 |
| They're breaking the 4th wall.. O_o Another random ep yet felt like incomplete though I'm satisfied.. Previous ep was better IMO.. 8/10 for this insane yet entertaining show.. :) |
| And here's the climax! Awesome show and a quick watch. Glad I saw it. 8/10 (though I might revisit) |
     |
| To clear some things up: First of all, I've known this anime for like 6 or 7 years now. It was the first I ever watched and will be my favorite one for all time. I've rewatched this thing probably like 100 times since I have the DVDs, and it obviously seems that a lot of you need some explanations on what the heck this show is about. There are two meanings to it 1) Metaphorical meaning - This show is all about the experiences of beginning male puberty and understanding your feelings. Try to rewatch the series without even paying attention to the Medical Mechanica bull crap. Throughout the show, Naota gains knowledge of his feelings towards either Mamimi and Haru. Think of a couple things, he can teleport shit through his head (he's so confused about what's going on it feels like his brain is absent) and also the whole transforming into a cannon (it looks like a dick and balls). There's hints of this kinda stuff throughout the series. 2) Literal Meaning - Basically, medical mechanica is a ruling power in the universe that is trying to take over planets for expanding their empire. The iron in the town is the prison for the pirate Admisk which they had captured for trying to destroy them. Through hitting Naota in the head with her guitar, Haru learns about Naota being able to support an end point teleporter in his head. The things that come out of Naota's head are basically prisoners of medical mechanica.Through this portal, Haru attempts at releasing Admisk from his prison. At the end, he is finally released by Naota but escapes into outer space, which is why Haru leaves. This series only really pissed me off because Naota doesn't end up with either Mamimi or Haru!!!! But you can obviously see by the end, Naota finally understands the feelings he's going through and will probably end up being with Ninamori. All in all, show gets a 10/10 from me, and that'll never change. Hope this helps yall =) |
