FLCL (Anime) add (All reviews)
Feb 14, 2015
Furi Kuri is an eyegasm, a mindfuck and a nosebleed. I have never seen an anime this graphically appealing before, and it's annoying beyond belief that nothing has bested it in the 15 years since it was created.If you see it mainly as a visual piece of art, you won't be as disappointed by the pointless and random story. Sure, this is supposed to be a nonsense-hysterical comedy, but it would never in a million years have worked if it wasn't for the outstanding graphics. The story isn't contributing at all to the enjoyment of Furi Kuri; it's the animation that pulls the entire burden. All the laughs and all the goosebumps are 100% graphics-induced.

Well, the soundtrack helps as well, to be honest. In the meantime the voice talents fit the absurd atmosphere, even though (or maybe just because) they all seem pumped full of Valium.

Well, not much else to say about this. It was absolutely worth watching, but at the same time it's kinda depressing that anime graphics in general hasn't evolved beyond this in 15 years. I would totally love this kind of animation in an anime that actually had anything else going for it.
