Naota is a detached sixth grader afflicted by the pangs of puberty. He's fooling around with his brother's ex-girlfriend when a crazed girl on a motor scooter runs him over, brains him with a bass guitar, and moves into his house. This pink-haired girl, Haruko - who claims she's an alien - hurls Naota into the middle of a mega-corporation's secret agenda. Oh, and now giant battling robots shoot from his skull. Mix in mind-bending animation and tunes that echo through your cerebellum to top off the trip that will have you falling hard for FLCL. (Source: Funimation)

*"You can't win the game until you swing the bat."* -maxim There's not much a point to summarizing *FLCL*--pronounced, "Fooly Cooly". Either you have seen it, are going to see it, or have decided it's not of interest to you. Besides that, what literally happens in *FLCL* is only half the story; and…

There’s no pause from dramatic effect. No slow introduction, explanation or relief. **_FLCL does not take time to set the table.** There is no cutl…
Read full review on AniList →_Contains spoilers for "FLCL"_ ____ #__The FLCL Flavor__ On the surface FLCL seems like it’s about a lot of things: fighting mechas, evil organizations, aliens and space pirates – but it’s never really about any of those.

To an American teenager, that may as well be an entire lifetime. My teenage self was not ready to appreciate _FLCL_. Now, w…
Read full review on AniList →Art: 10/10 No one can deny that the art for this show is stunning. The animation is crisp and fantastic. The visuals pop off the screen and are incredibly unique in my opinion. Sound: 10/10 The best use of a soundtrack of all time in anime. They only use sounds when necessary and when the sounds…

Read full review on AniList →~~~Not getting poetic while talking about FLCL is a sin. If you asked what was my favorite studio back in the day, oh boy, Gainax. Those guys were the bomb. I have a personal bias towards groups of people who gather and decide to do **** out of passion. Gainax was a family of individuals who just lo…

Read full review on AniList →This anime is amazing, as someone who enjoys western cartoons usually over eastern anime, I think this was the best of both worlds. The show isn't scared to show it's inspirations either, switching its entire art style to south park, and going for many cartoonish frames and style choices, to a more…

Fooly Cooly is about this 12 year old kid named Naota who's surrounded by people who are way older than him but act like children.

Read full review on AniList →Fooly Cooly, also known as FLCL, is an anime that stands out as one of the best ever produced, in my opinion. With just six episodes, this short-lived masterpiece manages to encapsulate a unique storytelling experience filled with symbolism. Through its visually striking style and exceptional sound…

It was an anime that I decided to watch due to its length and was left in utter awe by this creative bundle of episodes. This coming-of-age has a certain feel like no other! FLCL embodies the superb creativ…

Read full review on AniList →FLCL is another piece of work from our boys over at Gainax. It was released in 2000 & proved to be a hit amongst audiences, garnering it a place in history. Is it deserving of that though? Lets take a look. For the record, this review will most likely contain massive spoilers for the series, so read…
Read full review on AniList →What is there to say that hasn't already been said? It's a great anime. I'm not good at writing reviews where I list different pros and cons, so I'll just tell you the things I like about it, and maybe some things I dislike. There's not much story to FLCL, at least, not at the surface. There's a g…
Read full review on AniList →In just six episodes FLCL managed to entice me. Warning, there will be spoilers in this review! FLCL storms straight ahead and doesn't slow down for a single second. The pace of this show was unbelievable, yet it worked to its benefit. Not giving you enough time to think just makes this show so muc…
Read full review on AniList →Why didn't I give this another shot sooner? I absolutely love FLCL. I didn't feel this way on my first watch at all -- I initially thought it was just mindless insanity in the same vein as most of Trigger's stuff. I sat through all six episodes half-asleep, just wanting it to be over. However, in…

Read full review on AniList →Where on Earth am I supposed to start with this one? It's one wild ride from beginning to end with as much unpredictability as the universe is vast. So I mentioned in the summary this anime has a lore. I mention this because not a lot of people seem to know that, actually, which is probably because…

It is a show filled with pure and raw entertainment, from mind-numbing action-packed fights to suggestive and sleazy comedy.
