Unless you do your homework, be prepared to watch it several times if you're looking for plot satisfaction. While the show itself is one of the funniest anime out there, its so confusing that you can't help but wonder what exactly its about. But in the same breath, who needs plot? FLCL is more entertaining than I could ask for, and plenty of fast paced action. For six episodes, this was a brilliantly constructed comedy/action anime. Story-wise, however, it neither explains itself nor does it really want to be. I found myself not caring about why Haruko was there, why thing were coming out of Takkun's head, or why Mamimi was such a whore. It didn't matter because it was awesomely entertaining and satisfying.
The art is amazing even in today's standards. The action sequences are amazingly choreographed and not dated in the slightest. You watch some anime that make 10 years ago seem like 20, but FLCL makes it seem like last year.
The soundtrack is simply awesome. The inserts are fantastic, and fuel the action in the show as well as cause you to lose yourself in whats happening (remember Canti on the abandoned school building). It is different from most soundtracks in that its all rock songs, and I personally dig the heck out of that. By music standards, one of the best OSTs you will ever hear in anime.
This series is something every anime fan must and needs to watch. It is something that you will compare to, refer to, and re-watch to laugh to. FLCL is a comedy anime that is almost unrivaled in the genre, so if you want to laugh and take a break from brain-mashing stories, pick this up.
