My problem fully lies within the presentation. The story itself is admittedly wonderful and the characters all have some rich depth to them, even as different as they all are from one another, no one ever feels out of place and if you dig deep enough you can see the rational side to everyone's eccentric behavior. The problem with that is, imho, FLCL makes you "dig" too much.
I'm not saying everything should be face value, or that making the viewer think instead of just stuffing them with information is a bad thing. What I'm saying is that I'm fucking lazy and FLCL hurt my small pea brain by not presenting me it's content in an easily digestible manner like I'm usually used to, so it kind of put me in a weird place where I really admire the show yet feel like I can't recommend it at the same time.
Admittedly, packing that much information into 6 episodes in the way in which it doesn't stop to spell out every single detail but instead glances over it and let's you put together the pieces is kind of fucking genius. I've heard this described as a show that gets better with every re-watch and I can definitely understand why.
Good show, I just wasn't in the right mind-frame.
