45. FLCL (2000)
pyresword (4/5)

FLCL is one of those shows that I doubt many people would like if it hadnt been one of the first things theyd seen in the anime world That may seem odd coming from a guy whos ranking this pretty highly, but thats just my theory, and I include myself among those people.

FLCL is fucking weird. Theres not really a better way to put it. The story doesnt really make sense, the animation is all over the place, the characters are all insane Really nothing in the show feels natural, which is the intent. Ive seen people talk about how this is actually a brilliant coming-of-age story, but aside from the massive growth that comes out of the protagonists forehead being an obvious boner metaphor, Im not really sure I see anything about that, though it has been a while. The story as a whole feels disconnected and difficult to follow.

But damn if it isnt entertaining. Ive watched it a couple of times through my life, though none recently, and its always been a full series binge. Yeah, its only six episodes, but its still impressive for a show to sit me down for three straight hours. The obvious appeals in FLCL are its wild animation and its soundtrack from The Pillows. I think my favorite part is the sequence where it shows the action through manga panels as the characters yell over it. Tons of fun. I'm not really all that excited for the sequels, however. Mainly, they seem unnecessary, and I don't even think many, if any, of the original staff members will be back. Who knows?
