FLCL is something I watched on a whim. I had no expectations going in (except knowing that it was made by Kazuya[1]) and I was blown away. But if you’re seriously thinking of rewatching it, I really recommend “The Ultimate Correct Version” on nyaa, and avoid the English dub. I mostly enjoyed the scriptwriting (this is the only anime that I can say without exaggeration that every throwaway dialogue has layers of subtext that you will appreciate more on rewatch[2]) and guessing who did what scene.
Footnotes:
1. Kazuya is Anno’s protégé. I’m a big fan of Anno. Kazuya co-directed End of Evangelion, NGE, Rebuilds and others. He also worked on Gainax now, which is just a collection of talents that Anno picked.
2. Episode 2 is the most obvious one, but there are some dialogues that span across multiple episodes. For example, Ninamori’s (doesn’t fit) is just perfect. Some wordplay also only works in Japanese (I’m currently waiting for the storyboard to arrive so I can really dig into it). It’s very fun.
Overall: It’s very fun, but I completely understand your rating of 7.
Hope you have a great day ^v^
