FLCL (Anime) add (All reviews)
Mar 4, 2017
FlCl is one of those things that is so unique that it is difficult to compare it to other things, and it's tough to rank it within the realm of anime. Other anime are not in the same league, although I tend to reminisce about Scott Pilgrim after watching this show.

6 episodes, some robots, aliens, perversion, confusion, bikes, guitars... every so often something comes along that understands the difference between rehashing cliches, and utilizing the very cliche itself to make something brilliant (Kill Bill, Cowboy Bebop, One-Punch Man, etc).

I actually think FlCl is a great way for modern anime-lovers to be introduced to comedy. This obviously isn't the anime for those looking for an epic adventure full of cliff-hangers, being only 6 episodes and what not. It really is kind of simple-minded and mostly comedic, but the use of classic anime features should make it a great show for anyone to watch.

The complaints I hear about this show tend to focus on brevity, and lack of coherence. But length and clarity are for other shows. This is a show that is fast-paced, funny, visually stunning, nostalgic, and most importantly: creative and fun. It's a show where you sit back, and spend a couple hours of your life enjoying the clusterfuck that is FlCl. It's such a small commitment that it really can't hurt. Go watch it!!
