I really liked how random it was, and how it was such a short story. 10/10

I am smooth brain so I never really formed the the themes of becoming an adult when I watched FLCL but I can kinda see the clues. I remember as a kid watching like only 2 episodes, the baseball and the school play, multiple times on Toonami past midnight but never being able to watch the others. In High School, I managed to watch it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the ED with the camera attached to a Vespa and driving around to take real pictures. Year or two later, Progressive and Alternative came out. Honestly, this is a hot take but I liked Alternative more than Progressive. But, regardless, they are both inferior when it comes to the OG.

Flcl has a 24 episode worth of story packed in 6 episodes. It's great and ofcourse the soundtrack is the best

Its an anime you watch merely for the "experience" of it all. I thought it was solid and it did not waste my time. 8 outta 10. Would recommend if you haven't seen it. Only 6 episodes long.

The original was fun, I haven't seen the 2010 content. So you tell me, is it worth watching the rest of it.

Really cool show that need to be watched at least once. Its animation really stands out and aged very well. I really like its J-rock songs from Pillows.

I personally didn't enjoy FLCL at all. I'm not a huge fan of random things happening for the sake of randomness although I loved Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, but FLCL just didn't do it for me. Gave it a 4/10 since I couldn't get invested in any of the characters or the "plot".

I see lots of people saying they were disappointed by the comedy...

I don't remember FLCL being a comedy tho?

my thoughts exactly

The anime tried to be funny but failed imo. Idk wtf u watched but that was clearly a parody and a comedy. It even says on MAL.

Yeah, I was wrong. It seemed to me like they were just trying to add crazy things rather than trying to make people laugh. I didn't find it funny either, but it was all symbolic and had relevance to the story. And they brought everything together really well by the end, so I didn't care. I actually rolled my eyes at a lot of the "comedy" moments in the first few episodes so I get why you would find it annoying. It's definitely not FLCL's strength.

I watched a few months ago so I may be missing out on something.. I enjoyed it overall, because basically I love watching things by turning off my brain, that's the only way I thought I could watch FLCL anyway. But at times especially in the first half, it engaged or connected to me only sporadically, though I could appreciate the animation and whatever was happening on the screen. Animation is the best thing about this show. I didn't enjoy the soundtrack as much :p ..Honestly, I didn't see the hype until somewhere in the second half where it all made sense (well, to an extent - but that has always been a far less concern in my viewing of any media). More importantly it felt engaging. But somehow, it didn't feel "wow", maybe my hopes got high from the hypes on the internet.

I gave it an 8 last year when I watched it, but now I feel a 7.5.. or 7.3 :p

The fact that FLCL stands for Fooly Cooly is something to think about and the person who named this show is a genius.

It's a cult classic and one of the all time greats for a reason.

Easily my top favorite pre SHAFT era.

Shame about the sequels tho.

I was a bit dissapointed. I heard good things and then when I watched it my expectations were not met. It just wasn't my show to watch. I didn't really like the humour or anything that much either.

It's a uniquely wacky, erratic show brimming with kinetic energy and influences. I believe it balances drama, seriousness and humour fairly well. The music bangs too.

I had no idea how to rate it, so I gave it a 6 and moved onto the sequels they were horrible. Harukos dub voice was the only saving grace.

I'm long overdue a rewatch but it started me into properly interpreting the text and its metaphors on the virtue of being so blunt with it so I appreciate it for that.

I wonder if I'd like it less for being so blunt and not being in the adolescent headspace nowadays.

Well, the story makes no sense to me. Some kind enjoyable, but just a bit. It’s quite mediocre in my opinion.

The story actually makes a lot of sense, you can't say it s mediocre just because you didn t get it. You can say it was too complicated and absurd for your taste though, I think it would be more accurate

- insanely nostalgic ost
- god tier animation
- nigh perfect pacing
- crazy action scenes
- ok characters
- meh comedy that's cringey at times
- good story
- great introspective storytelling
- open to interpretation

9/10 for me. Simply anime of the year.

I saw this show like 10-12 years ago, I didnt like it a bit, I decided to rewatch it and after doing it, I must say FLCL is one of the worst animes ever made, the soundtrack of this feels like American Pie, the sexual abuse agaisnt a minor, the excesive fanservice and sexual references, most of adults act like sex offender or drug users, over the top cartoonish scenes.

This one of the few animes that I feel embarrassed to watch, I dont see how any 16+ years old person would like this and by the way, there has been better coming-of-age stories in this media. Enough said, this anime is a shame for all the community.

I'm on episode 4, it's crazy and I don't understand at all, but funny and I think it represents puberty so good (I'm 17 so I can relate even if I'm a girl).

I personally think it was a 10 out of 10 because the animation, the character development, and even the sound tracks where perfect. My only issue what that for most people it's hard to under like what's going on most of the time but that's what makes the shoe so good. And also i just the funny nature of the show in general


It was a fun watch. Gave it 8.35/10 with an integer score of 8 out of 10. The main highlights were the chaotic story and the banger OSTs.

Watch it while drinking guys, I'm not kidding, it's amazing

Edit: After watching it for a second time, despite the constant shithousery it's themes are very well done and relatable, an amazing and mature coming of age story, but it's probably way beyond the level of the average anime watcher today. And that makes it all the better lol.

The characters exist, they say things to each other while doing other things. Then events happen. After reading a lot of interpretations and breakdowns of the series I still think it was a let down all around. (besides the animation and soundtrack those were great)
