Summary: My Brain Is Still Processing It
Review: Okay...I'm new at anime. I have only been attempting to watch it for about a year now, so my knowledge on the subject is limited at best; "Cowboy Bebop" and "Spirited Away" and Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows being pretty much it for me. So I can't speak with any real authority here.So I followed a friend's advice and watched "FLCL". I think this was some sort of cruel joke; my friend must have really wanted to hurt my brain. He succeeded. "FLCL", or "Furi Kuri" or "Fooly Cooly", has to be the most jarring, weirdest, loudest, freakiest, unsettling, confusing, strangest, most twisted piece of eye-crossing, retna-burning, sense-assulting film, let alone anime, that I have ever laid my eyes on. I want more. Only complaint...6 half-hour episodes, spread out over 3 dvds at $25-30 a pop? Highway robbery. My wallet hurts as much as my brain. But it is worth it.

Summary: Rocks
Review: Flcl totally rocks. I actually think I understand it, but others might not. It is especially confusing. I had never really seen much Anime before, but FLCL got me into it. Anyway, I think it ROCKS!!!

Summary: Rock 'n' Roll
Review: You know, not everything that's called rock and roll, is rock and roll.
Rock and Roll is an intuitive, wild, careening, sexy, weepy shake, rattle and roll spirit that ducks and dodges definition. It could be music, or a film; it could be something totally ephemeral and evocative, like an old motorcycle jacket with an empty cigarette pack in the pocket.
Fooly Cooly is Rock and Roll.
The animation is excellent. The total lack of stylist boundaries is hysterical, and the art direction is paradoxically spot on. This is definitely a labor of love. Somebody got a long leash and a supervisor on vacation to make this wonderful craziness. I think had about as much fun watching it as they did making it.

Summary: Great Anime, Bad Anime DVDs
Review: Why is good anime often under represented or under understood (if that is a word)? Greed. FLCL is a great anime. But it's only 6 episodes at around 3 hrs. Yet somehow the DVD makers felt is necessary to split a 3-hour series over 3 DVDs and charge nearly $30.00 bucks a piece for them. I don't buy my anime in the U.S. I buy it overseas. Sure I may have to read subtitles, and I might occasionally even unintentionally be purchasing a pirated property (which I try to avoid by usually buying from a select number of dealers and by paying attention to the name of the DVDs' producers) but when I can buy an entire 26-episode series (like Cowboy Bebop or Witch Hunter Robin) on 3 DVDs for less than the price of one of those DVDs in the U.S. that only has three or four episodes of the same series (with all the "extras" - some sketchbook drawings & trailers for other DVDs aren't exactly extras in my book!), I'll pick reading any day (especially since dubbed English DVDs are becoming more prevalent overseas). DVD producers will say that they have to charge that much because it's a niche market, etc. All I can think is that it will never stop being a niche market until people can see an entire series without having to pay $100.00-$300.00 to watch it.

Summary: Want something entertaining?
Review: WHY SHOULD YOU BUY THIS-If you want something entertaining buy this. I personally loved every second of it. It has wonderfull graphics, great plotline (although it may be a bit fuzzy at first) and most impotantly humor and action. SUMMARY-A 12 year old kid is living in a town called Mabase. His brother moved to America leaving his 17 years old girlfriend behind. The girlfriend (Mamimi) starts to hit on Naota (twelve year old) saying if she dossen't she will 'overflow'. Interested yet, because that's not even the tip of the iceburg. Naota's life get's turned upside down when an alien, Horuko, comes to town and hits him on the head with a guitar. She then becomes his maid and... okay said to much, I'm going to ruin the story if I tell you anymore. ALL IN ALL-Humor, action, perverteness, seduction, and basically everything that's good in life.

Summary: A Different Anime
Review: As most of the reviews have stated, I too agree FLCL to be the greatest Anime Ever. If not, then why would I be writing this review? Anime had a slow start and then rocketed into mass popularity. However alot of Animes seemed to be all the same. Fooly Cooly is anything but the same. Fooly Cooly is a "Different" Anime. The General thought of "Anime People" is that they're usally weird or immature, because they are into more adult oriented power-packed cartoons. But I believe Fooly Cooly fans to be of a higher standard than that. Fooly Cooly presents itself as shady and confusing. Thats good, it makes us think. Fooly Cooly isn't just handed to you for you to enjoy, you are given someting to think about. It is not just swordfights and explosions. It is like comparing a deep and inriguing novel to a children's Short story. There is just no comparison. Fooly Cooly is most simply put as a different Anime, one for the more CONSCIOUS Anime fanatic; not for the CREDULOUS one.

Summary: Giant Flatirons in the Sky
Review: Some of the best work in a genre comes when it satirizes itself. Anime is noted for many things, dramatic (and over-dramatic) plots, silliness in the face of disaster, haphazard development, even an excess of pompousness, but very rarely is it self aware. For the most part anime is written for the fans of anime, not the fans of the fans of anime, e.g., the people who create it. FLCL is a celebration of the humorous aspects of anime - and a brilliant success. FLCL, however, undertakes to be a well (and outrageously) written satire on the entire alien girl sub-genre as well as a perfect example of its type. These are the stories where an unsuspecting adolescent boy suddenly finds himself inextricable entwined with a beautiful alien (or robot) woman, who overturns his life, continually embarrasses him, and loves him without any regard to his obvious flaws. In a way she (in this case Haruko) is the perfect foil for the insecurities of a young man - forward where he is afraid, and forgiving wwhen he makes mistakes. Poor Naota not only has his older brother's girlfriend (Mamimi) making overtures to him, but Haruka the space girl appears, runs him over with her Vespa, and then moves into his household as a maid. Surrounded by beautiful older women, it would be easy to envy Naoto if it weren't for the robots that start growing out of his head. And Haruka's habit of swatting him with a bass guitar. And Mamimi's fascination with fire. No, it's not really supposed to make any sense. Instead, enjoy it for the ribald puns and dialog, the countless 'in-joke' references to Japanese popular culture, and its irreverent experimentation with its media. The collaboration team that created FLCL (or Fooly Cooly) is composed of Gainax's best artists and writers. The level of professionalism is what makes all the crazy parts fit together, leaving the viewer staring wide-eyed at the screen waiting for the next impossible setup, While the first two episodes contain nothing so blatant as to be offensive, there is a high level of fan service that runs throughout the series. Gainax has chosen not to pursue a rating for FLCL. Most teenagers should be mature enough to handle the innuendo, though. And, honestly, I haven't seen a film that was this much pure fun in quite a while.

Summary: Crazy, sexxy, cool.
Review: I saw this for the first time at a Anime/Manga symposium and I have to say that is a great first start for anybody wanting to get into anime and manga but have no idea where to start. You can't jump in to the deep end because your expectations will be extremely high if you ever find yourself about to watch animes that are not as ambitious as "Ghost In The Shell". And starting in too shallow (ie: Pokemon) will set you up for not taking the time out for the more artful animes (the ones that are "too weird to watch"). A great comedy and silly mecha style anime. It doesn't take itself too seriously. The Pillows are now one of my favorite bands, even though I have no idea what they're saying (Japanese is not even my 10th language). 5 stars. I dunno what it is about Haruhara Haruko, but if I were ever to have a psycho girlfriend, I'd want her to be like Haruhara. ;)
