Summary: L. Briggs doesnt know what hes talking about
Review: If you're considering buying this because you saw the series and want more of the same good stuff, don't bother. Not only was the art bad, but they seem to have tried to compress every episode of the series into one uber-story with no sense of pacing or cohesive plot. Furthermore, and this is the worst in my opinion, they RUINED the characters! Haruko is no longer a charismatic wildchild but now just a sleazy con-artist with the worst sense of humor this side of the Prime Meridian. Mamimi is shunted off to the side and Ninamori floats around with the thing from ep. 3 the whole book. And, I don't mean to spoil this for you, but Haruko actually shacks up with Naota's dad and Naota really actually kills him. Which leads to the one funny joke in the book, but still! Our hero is now a patricidal jerk with no remorse? And Haruko is a whore?

Anyway, in short, if I could return this book for a full refund and still burn it in effigy, I would.

Summary: flcl is better than the bible
Review: ok some of you anime nerds come here and critisize the manga because it wasn't like the anime. hello. wake up. it's called artistic differences. take battle royale for example the movie and the book were extremely different but did i hate the movie because everything in the book didn't happen exactly, no. to tell you the truth im really glad its not like the anime. why would i want to buy something that i have already seen? but some of you out there buy stuff just to waste money. if your smart you will pick this up and keep and open mind about it. understand a story is never set in stone and new and different takes are nice.

Summary: Wow!
Review: Some of you probably hate the FLCL manga. But, if you really liked the OVA series, you should like this. But - be advised: the manga is almost entirely different from the animation.

I actually wish they would have made the animation based on the manga, but it's better that we have them both. The manga is a little more graphic and intense (and sketchy, confusing), but you really have to shove the book up to your nose to understand it and put the frames together. Then, you realize the style and jumpy drawing is the mood of the story, etc.

I hope you pay close attention and enjoy it...

Summary: From the insanity of the maker of End Of Evangelion.
Review: The same man who made "End of Evangelion" comes back with a little piece of his mind of pure insanity. In a world gone mad, young Noaka is trying to live a normal life in his little hometown. With his brother gone to America, his ex-girlfriend chasing after him, and an alien from outer space, saying that she is here to "protect" the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the first one!
Review: This one had everything the first one had (visit my other review!) with even more action, emotional moments, and more... secrets that weren't in the anime! The art is beatiful, though alot of people don't respect it. I recommend this strictly for anyone who's read the first one AND seen the anime. Many things are in this that are only understandable if, and only IF, you've seen the other mainstream FLCL works. Seriously, dude. There are also some moments that are kinda unsuitable for... young children. So, as it says for the proper age, 13 and up.

-This is Pooch saying, "thanks fo' reading my review, yo!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: L. Briggs doesnt know what hes talking about
Review: yes he doesnt know what the hell hes talking about the drawings where drawn like that on porpose and are still great and sure the story got changed somewhat but if you really were a fan of it youd look past that well i could go on and on about how wrong he is but hey hes intitled to his own opinion oh, and no offense to each his own. but this is still a great book and it should be in every fans shelf.
