ok assuming qrters gone, and wont tell me that theres already been a FLCL thread (i hope there hasnt) i will proceed with this post. What a great anime! The music, animation, storyline, symbolism, and high speed humour is just top notch. really enjoyable to finish watching too, cause i got the first dvd and the last two were sold out at the time, so it was a long wait between episodes. anyone else seen this? discuss |

i don't think there's a decent thread about flcl here, so don't worry. i love this show. much more to it than your standard anime. this is a very artistic and clever series. lots of expressionism and hidden meanings. i think it's open for interpretation, so i won't say what i think it's about here, but in my mind the whole storyline behind the superficial story is very clear. it's not just a show about robots and aliens - if that's all you take from it, you're not understanding it. i have it on dvd... |

...not to say that you're wrong if you don't like it. i'm sure this qualifies as something people love or hate. |

it has neat graphics and i can see why people may like it's quirkiness, but it's way too silly and retarded for me to overlook. unless i were on acid or something. |

I am not an anime fan, but I think this is one of those most amazing films I have seen in my whole life. It has very detailed and developed characters (the voices have lots of nuance as well), elaborate settings, a cohesive plot, amazing animation styles, etc. There are billions of tiny things interconnected all over the place, as well as a plethora of minutiae at every moment. Furthermore it is out to get a good time. The story telling is extremely creative. She has to 'knock' Canti (the bad-ass robot which atomsk inhabits) into his wits (for the rest of the anime he's collecting the bits of his broken head and trying to rebuild it!). The father is _also_ tried as a candidate for supper-matter-moving-flcl-power, but instead is hidden to rot while she frolics with a mechanical version of him (note the cable to the butt!). I hate hate hate it when people say it is random. It is not. very deliberate, very structured, very well thought out. |

It's only silly to give it a veneer or light heartedness, to make the whole thing fun. I think at the core it deals with many difficult issues, and presents them in a manner which a jaded egoist like myself can actually sit through. |

Well, I ate things that take themselves too seriously, so that's part of it. Also, I get bored extremely, terrifyingly easy. I really enjoyed deciphering the correlation of every microscopic, strange act, every arbitrary moment, every inconceivable conversational turn. I tried to show it to friends, and they thought I was retarded. I bought the first disc for one of them as an xmas present out of spite. |

I saw the typo when I made it, and left it because it made my post funnier. I don't argue with divine interventiona hahah haha that thread sucked |

well except for not being a big anime fan, i love anime so much that i sleep with my anime dvd collection in bed sometimes, and rub the dvd case edges against my nipples. |

It's nice, isn't it? By the way, I purchased my first action figure of my entire life--at the age of 22--as based on this anime: the robot Canti. Rules. |

canti is awesome, was it the blue or red model |

I hate so many things that it's basically incorrect if I ever say anything which is as broad as anime is something I like. For instance I have trouble saying I like people, because I only like 10% of the personality of 0.0001% of the people I have met. |

its ok, i understand... |

I didn't even know there was a blue one! I googled and just saw it. yes, the red is what I have. |
||||||||

what did you think about the episode where naota exchanged his cat ears with that blue haired girl, i think that may be the only symbolic thing im still pondering |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh dude, I haven't watched FLCL in months (8?), but there's one scene when they're rushing through the house and the cat farts on someone's face (maybe naota?). This is just a nice example of a reward it gives to an attentive viewer. Eh, reward is a catachresis there =P |

its almost like the whole class was compatable to have the flcl brain matter transport power, like the way the class in evangelion were all compatable eva pilots.. and the two animes share the same production team |

sneakattack, your avatar has made me want to watch akira again, i think ill do that later, its been awhile |
||||||||

Oh yes, I'm going off of old memory, but I think I got that.. basically, Naota's head's NO power is so high that contact with his skull is a bad idea. In episode 3 at the beginning, when he's waiting for haruhara, and she causes a bunch of car accidents, and her crappy scooter hits naota, he flies and strikes her head with his. Anyway, at the moment, some light surrounds her head I believe. This imbues her with power (similarly to how he was initially imbued with power from haruhara's guitar hitting his head), which eventually manifests itself when it is used to bring that weird spidery thing (with less legs than a spider) into the world. at least, that's what I recollect. oh shit I'm smiling remembering that movie.. oh glory |

ive gotta watch it again, im pretty smart and i did get most of the symbolism but ill admit that i probobly did miss out on some important things, as i was too focused on pressing pause to read the fast as lighting subtitles at certain points :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think the whole class was... I think in general, the way it portrays it, all humans have some affinity for NO, but some much more than others. For instance, his father and amarao both have sucky N.O. power. The anime portrayed ninamori as quite a badass (I mean, she didn't kick asses, but was smart, confident, etc), so I think that's why she was able to weild such power.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh by the way, another favorite nuance of mine is the absolute ending. Each of the first 5 episodes, after the ending song, the blurb for the next episode, etc., there is a scene of haruhara's bike outside of their house. After episode 6, when she leaves them, this scene is replaced with her flying off into space.. makes sense of course since she was a part of their lives until the very end. _that_ is how I knew she was coming back after episode 5, and that she's gone for good after 6.. (of course, I guess her return was predictable in 5, since otherwise 6 would have to be kinda sucky in some way!!) |

yeah it takes a will to fit all of it together. I have a friend who is maniacally brilliant, but he had a blank face for the whole first episode and left it with nothing. |
||||||||

i tried to get my friend to watch it (feld) but he thought it was too childish. tsk tsk tsk |

I dressed up as canti for a costume party just last saturday, I painted an old monitor blue and put the weird logo on the screen, walking around waering the monitor as a helmet, I couldn't see shit! |

I hope the do another run of it on Adult Swim so I can watch from the beginning this time, and when I'm actually awake now. |
