Summary: Revealing more about this insane corner of the universe...
Review: After a brilliant first DVD, Gainax, I.G. and Synch-Point makea second that is just incredible to house the 3rd & 4th episodes of this 6 episode OVA series. While the stories through episode 3 provide fun little scenarios with some of the most brilliant, crazed action and music in any anime, they really just boggle the audience while delighting them. But, like any decent story, the writer will put out the pieces, then tie them together, which they do into episode 4 as Hara-haru's history shows up as a human boyfriend working for a central intelligence organization dealing with aliens on earth. Into episodes 5 & 6, on the 3rd DVD are most all of the answers needed to rope up a great excuse to make fantastic anime fun.Each episode of FLCL has a very strong motif. In episode 3, it is predominantly about 'Puss In Boots' while episode 4 is a great nod to baseball. There is something fantastic to watch in every scene of FLCL. This is not an anime to ignore.

Summary: It's strait damn good.
Review: FLCL IS THE BEST anime that has been played in America. It includes everything their is of a good anime, robots, fighting, guns,aliens, romance, mystery, etc. Even though I still didnt understand what fooly cool means after watching it 5 times. I wish the game can have extentions ( Video games, new seasons) that would be alsome.Buy it NOW! every cent of your 70 bucks is going to worth it!

Summary: Does it get better than Mamimi.
Review: FLCL(Fooly Cooly)- The secound disc is phenomenal, some of the best animation you will find. This series had me from the first time they had it on Adult Swim. It looked kind of stupid when i first saw it, but after i started to watch it i saw something i've never seen before (the way anime's should be). If you've never seen this series before i recomend you go to Best Buy, Sam Goody's or wherever you can get movies and pick it up (trust me you will not be disapointed). It is a great series for anime lovers of all kind's, and for the people that are just starting out. Some people will not like this series, they might find it stupid or pointless but take it from me you will end up wanting more after you've seen it.

Review: Fool me twice, shame on me. And if you've bought VOL. 2 of this rubbish, you've been fooled twice. P. T. Barnam would be proud! Malarkey (n): Something that does not make sense; balderdash, blather, bunkum, claptrap, drivel, nonsense, piffle, poppycock, rigmarole, tomfoolery, twaddle, tommyrot, baloney, bull, bunk, crap, hooey, hoax, humbug. Replace "Malarkey" with "FLCL" and, yup, you got it ...

Summary: Not your typical "weird" anime
Review: I was completely blown away by FLCL. The way it combines such an insane cast of characters with surreal yet understated environments is fantastic. the mecha battles (!) are also of top quality, because they were directed by the same person who did the famous giant-robot fights in Neon Genesis Evangelion. This anime has odd pacing, moving at an amphetamine-rate one minute than slowing down drastically. this just makes it even better, as the slow parts let you absorb the beautifully rendered backgrounds (a rarity in "non-movie" anime).

Summary: I can think of PLENTY of ways to describe this series...
Review: Let's start with BRILLIANT, move onto GORGEOUS, a little SHORT AND SWEET, ACTION PACKED... I think talking this series up as "SO wierd & out-there" does it more harm than good.
So this is the middle, and everyone seems to complain about episode three, but I think it really gives a moment for Naoto (our HERO!) to have an a-l-m-o-s-t healthy relationship with another girl which sort of pays off at the end. Its a natural break for the final arc set up in episode 4. No matter what people might say, just pay attention, go with its flow, and FLCL makes perfect sense. Might make better sense if you don't watch tons of anime actually. At its heart, its just about growing up and being a man, dammit!
So my friends turned me on to this a couple of years ago, its the best anime in memory, and reinvigorates my interest in the genre. Nothing since has touched its perfection. Short and sweet, spastic as hell, and the dynamics between the characters are bombastic. Its pretty much a distillation and collage of everything in anime since the 90's hit, a punk-rocking parody that suddenly begins to take itself seriously, then upheaves everything.
If you take away all the religious underpinnings and focused on Shinji's sexual tension with older/younger women in all twenty-six+ episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, but shoved that in only six episodes, and stuck said confused pubescent boy with the "worst girl for you at the best time" you've pretty much got the narrative. Soundtrack by the PILLOWS alone makes it a classic, it rocks like a J-pop PIXIES.
I give the series itself 5 stars, but the American DVDs just aren't worth the extra cash, so I had to knock it down to 4. The American dub sucks, the bonuses aren't that great, and you're ending up paying from $75 - $90 for only 2.5 hours of content. "Lord of the Rings:Return of the King" is longer than the whole series combined and costs only $30! I'm tired of supporting anime companies who finally DO release this stateside only to be jerked around by my wallet. I could ALMOST understand 2 volumes at that price since the series narrative naturally splits at the middle anyways... but its still a MUST SEE.
I recommend getting a used copy if you can't afford the steep tag.
EPISODES 3&4 FEATURE:
*Boy vs. Giant Outer Space Baseball Bomb!
*Creepy masseuses!
*Freakey-BIG eyebrows!
*Random Nosebleeds!
*Matrix-style bullet-time kissing!
*Naota exiting a mecha as poo!
*A mutant/mecha (?) with gastro-intestinal distress!
