 | FLCL (2000) Genres: Comedy, Drama, Sci-fi Episodes: 6 Description: Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity. Thoughts: FLCL seems like it doesn't have a plot, it does have a very loose one, but seems to freelance most of the time. It's really weird, and has these annoying subtitles all the time, even though its dubbed, and the subtitles are different from the dub, but even so, it's fun to watch and has some good music. Ranking: Story: 3/5 The ongoing story made next to no sense, and the episodic stories weren't much better. Animation: 5/5 It looked really good, especially during the fights. Action: 4/5 Lots of corny, ridiculous action. Comedy: 4/5 The show was funny, although sometimes in a weird way. |
