    I can't really decide the degree to which I like FLCL. Sometimes I like my anime to be bonkers, but this show is certainly an extreme case. It's very difficult to follow what's going on at any given minute unless you connect all the sexual innuendo and phallic imagery to the theme of bridging the gap between boyhood and manhood (I didn't pick up on this myself, I just read Youtube comments). Okay, so then things start to make a degree sense. Thing is, this isn't a subject/theme I can relate to AT ALL for obvious reasons. Also, Haruko (19) borderline or straight up molests Naota (12 I think?) on more than one occasion, which makes me uncomfortable. BUT, the animation is great--it's lively and smooth and just attractive, and tries a range of styles. And the show is really fucking funny at times. And FWIW, it manages to feel complete in only 6 episodes, which is no small feat. So yeah. Very mixed feelings about this show, not sure what I'll rate it or if I'll rank it yet.

    This is very popular so there is obviously something I'm missing. Perhaps I'm just stupid but I didn't get/enjoy this.

      Editing … I would almost prefer to sit through #Whisper of the Heart a third time before putting myself through this again!

      Editing … xD Well, FLCL is not for everyone. You have to accept it makes no sense and appreciate it for it.

      Editing … I'm the same way. I didn't understand the hype surrounding this whatsoever after seeing it.

      Editing … I think a lot of people understandably see its outright weirdness as gimmicky. I haven't watched it since it was on Adult Swim (almost 10 years ago I think) so I'd need to watch it again to have an informed opinion on it.

      Editing … I thought it was okay, not nearly as good as it's made out to be but not bad

    This is an anime that I've first seen when it first aired on Adult Swim. I was about ten years old at time, and have since seen it many, many times over the past decade.

    Watching FLCL is like watching an experiment unfold right in front of you. It tries so many different art styles and writing styles, yet oddly enough, they all fit together perfectly, but in a sort of messy way. It's a show where even its flaws work to its advantage, and helps create a unique experience that has never been replicated. You may point out stuff like Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking or Dead Leaves which have similar styles as FLCL, but as for actual viewing experience, nothing comes close. There really isn't anything like it. It's chaotic, weird, over-the-top, subtle, oddly paced, sexual, sweet, fun, funny, creepy, memorable, ugly, beautiful, dark, light-hearted, and most importantly, it's unforgettable.
