fooly cooly

ok, here's a good question, who understood Fooly Cooly the first time they watched it. I had may mouth open the first few show's, and I thought it was funny as hell.

Good series.

I understood it. One of my favorite series. :) The plot doesn't really become clear though until the last two episodes.

ya its pretty good

was it really supposed to make sense at all? just seemed like saddisticly fun things that happens to some kid..

Fooly Cooly or Furi Kuri or FLCL (depends on who you ask, and what country they're from :biggrin: ) was really a very good stream-of-consciousness anime that is very random until the last two episodes pull it all together. If you've ever seen Evangelion you'll recognize some base similar character-types, but it's like Eva chars on crack without a hint of sanity in their life. A lot of the production crew for FLCL came from Neon Gen., and I believe that they were just sick of doing a very very very great but waaaay to deep series, and needed to go crazy with something.

I think that it was a great anime, but for me, sad to say i had to watch it a couple times through. I had to watch it on adult swim and when i missed one episode i was completly lost. What about the manga? I think that the awsome sketchy artwork in the manga was great, but I only know of 2 books. Is there a reason why they havn't made more? Or do they already have them out and i just havn't seen them... :dunno:

lol, I kinda understood it, but after the second time, I loved it. Its one of my favs, maybe ranks 3rd overall in my top list.

Definitely a fav in my list...I'm glad those guys from Neon G did something as cracked-out as Furi Kuri, they sure needed to after Eva.

I finally saw the ending. And I'm such a nerd that I correctly identified every vehicle in that show - who else here can say they knew the three wheeled truck was a Daihatsu CM? Or that the white scooter was a Fuji Rabbit?
Anyway it was great.

i heart FLCL. its a huge pun on other anime and j-popculture which sometimes comes off as random but still funny. 6 eppys werent enough for the series. i understood it the first time through but i do have a couple questions that confused me (fansubs?). was mamimi homeless or just never home? did she drop out of highschool? just what the hell was haruko doing that night in ta-kuns dad's room with the dummy (looked like banging)? and finally, wtf was the deal with those "Eyebrows"?
