Has anyone else seen this anime? I discovered it a few months ago and immedietly realised how exceptional it is - the point of this thread being to spread the word about it! I strongly suggest everyone check it out if they like a little comedy in their anime, along with some top class animation and music to go with it. Not to mention an inspiring storyline. It may be short (6 episodes) but by god it rocks.

Go watch!

yeah, I've seen it. It's odd :p
Not sure I liked it, to be honest, it's way too "high" for me ( and the subs are really difficult to read during the speedy moments ). But I can understand some people love it.

I got a bit weirded out when all those robots grew out of his head and fough each other and ate him and then shat him out.

Very enjoyable, though. :D

Well, I agree that it's hard to keep up with - definitely fast paced as opposed to something slower and more spread out such as Evangelion (it's also not as deep as Evangelion but nevermind). I just loved all its style and if you see it several times to get the plot it becomes so much better because you can just watch as opposed to concentrating on reading!

I didn't like it. Everyone says it's good but I didn't like it one bit. :p

If you think Gainax made Furi Kuri damn weird, check out the Excel Saga series by them.

FLCL has to be the weirdest anime I've ever enjoyed.

It is very deep, and most of the freneticness of the pace of storytelling is to keep the average veiwer from realizing their watching something deep.

Sounds like an interesting name. :D

Maybe after I finish downloading every Stargate SG-1 episode in existence (damn you, Styxx! :D), I'll look for FK eps. ;)

Do it! There's only 6 of them, but don't let that fool you. The entire story is told well.

Kalfireth, a good question. I am not too sure myself, perhaps it was style of the anime...

Excel Saga on the other hand is better, especially later episodes. Don't forget to watch Puni Puni Poemi which is made by same guy. ;)

Sorry for going a little off topic, but has anyone here seen Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu anime? Just gotta love the series and the comedy. :D

A must see for all anime fans out there ^_^

Excel Saga isn't from Gainax, I believe.

Thunder, you can't really compare FLCL to eva, there's, well, nothing to compare lol :D
Steak: yeah, the name itself is a mistery, and source for many puns in the anime ( fully cooly? :p )
Aki: Jungle? Hell yeah :D one of the funniest things I've ever seen :D ( and I'm not even talking about the deluxe :p )
Mr. Fury: Puni Puni Poemi, now that's something :p The dude with the afro really cracks me up :D
As for Fumoffu, yeah, I've seen the first few episodes, it's comlpletly different from the first series, but really fun :) "Fumo?"

The current theory is that the title is actually a corruption of some naughty activity involving a woman's chest.;7

Also, as you watch it, remember that there is a thematic reason that all the "horns" are kind of phallic looking and all the robots except Kanti(Chanti?) are hand shaped.

If you've seen the manga, they give so many different explanations ( yup, the character manga themselves :p ) that it's... hargh, I just forgot about the pb and thought about something else :p
for me it's furi curi or flcl, and nothing else :D

Meh, either way it's a great program and well worth watching if you ask me - whatever you get out of it.
