Introduction:-
FLCL is a coming-of-age story and revolves around Naota Nandaba, a 12-year-old, working-class boy living with his widowed father and grandfather. His life in the city of Mabase is interrupted by the arrival of Haruko Haruhara, who runs over Naota with her yellow Vespa 180 SS scooter, gives him CPR, then hits him on the head with a blue vintage Rickenbacker 4001 left-handed electric bass guitar.[4][5][6] Naota discovers that the blow to his head created an "N.O." portal, from which giant robots produced by a company known as Medical Mechanica emerge periodically.
Plot/Summary :-
Naota Nandaba is an ordinary sixth grader living in a city where nothing amazing ever seems to happen. After his brother Tasuku leaves town to play baseball in America, Naota takes it upon himself to look after everything Tasuku left behind—from his top bunk bed to his ex-girlfriend Mamimi Samejima, who hasn't stopped clinging to Naota since Tasuku left.

Story :-
FLCL revolves around Nandaba Naoto, a 12 year-old kid living his life in a small peaceful town, until that peace is abruptly disturbed by a mysterious girl called Haruhara Haruko, who runs Naoto over with a Vespa scooter, gives his CPR, and smashes his head with a guitar and runs off. Later, Naoto discovers that the blow to his head created an “N.O” portal from which robots are created by a company called Medical Mechanica who attack Naoto and his gang. He later discovers Haruko, who is actually a member of the Galactic Space Police Brotherhood, working as a house-maid back at his house, who asks Naoto to help her look for the Pirate King, Atomsk. Meanwhile, they’re every move is being watched by Commander Amarou, who suspects that the robots made by Medical Mechanica are out to conquer the galaxy. Naoto, unable to take sides, is stuck in the middle of a crazy three-way battle between Haruko, Commander Amarou and the Medical Mechanica robots.
Innovation is a term that is thrown around a lot these days and is used almost interchangeably with the word creativity. But, innovation and creativity are actually two very different things. Creativity is just novelty, while innovation is novelty that has value attached to it. While we do see glimpses of authentic creativity occasionally, true innovation is almost impossible to come across.
In the beginning of the millennium, Gainax tried to do what they do best – innovate. To recreate the magic of the legendary Neon Genesis Evangelion, they utilized the same key members of the staff, appointing Kazuya Tsurumaki as the director and YojiEnokido, the author of the original FLCL novels, as the scriptwriter. And at the end of April of the year, the first episode of FLCL was released and gave birth to what would become yet another Gainax success story.
FLCL (Fooly Cooly or Furi Kuri) tells the tale of a precocious punk named Naota. When his brother left for America, he and Mamimi (his girlfriend) are left devastated and stumble through each day, finding solace only through each other’s thoughts of the brother. However, all this changes when an extraordinarily eccentric (borderline insane) girl, Haruko, barges into their lives and changes Naota inside and out. What follows is Naota’s coming of age story, crammed with outlandish sci-fi incidents that will light the way the way to adulthood.
FLCL takes up the word “chaos”, chews it up, spits it out and moulds it into something that’s preposterous even for Gainax’s standards. The storyline is erratic to say the least. What starts out as a wacky comedy about a kid and an oddity of a woman, turns into an over the top sci-fi series that attempts to showcase the fragility of the human mind. One second it’s about sexual innuendos, the next it’s about giant mecha emerging out of a kid’s head. It lacks any sort of consistency whatsoever and the end result is an indecisive plot that is more confusing than it is entertaining. This “middle finger factor” of the show gives off the illusion that an episode is longer than the thirty minutes of runtime. However, the true meaning and context of the show is still open for interpretation and lacks traits of any particular genre it belongs to.
The randomness and spontaneity of the crazy events does have its charm and works to the show’s advantage at times. But the complete lack of coherence does get to you and leads from “What the hell am I watching?!” to “Why the hell am I still watching?!” The absence of a strong and well directed plot is made obvious by the really cheap and downright silly humor. The jokes are not tasteful and unless you find getting run over by a scooter and whacked by a guitar funny, there’s nothing LOLable. Things even get severely disgusting at times.
Criticism aside, I land on one of the anime’s strong suits – the art. It excels in this department. The artwork is very stylish and exudes creativity. The characters look unique and are recognizable within an instant. You even have different styles employed, such as manga panels, cartoony and even a few scenes where the environments and characters are drawn in a South Park-like fashion. For an anime made a decade ago, the movement is very fluid and there are very few still shots. Here, Gainax innovates and the graphics look dated at no point. A perfect score.
FLCL shoots and scores with the soundtrack as well. The background music consists of several pieces made by the band Pillows. The rock band works well in creating some head thumping English tracks. It would certainly be a boon to the anime industry if these fellows were to make more tracks for anime.
Conclusion :-
Overall, this series is absolutely brilliant. And it definitely shows the importance of “quality over quantity” when it comes to anime series. Even if the anime is only 6 episodes long, it totally feels like a normal 12-13, even a 24-26 episode series based on the amount of eye-gasms that you get from watching the series. I could talk all day about how awesome this anime is, but I’ll wrap it up by saying that I believe this is one of my all time favourite anime series. So if you haven’t watched it then do it right now! You will not regret a single moment of this glorious, crazy contraption that is FLCL.
Recommendation :-
Of course -, Its an Parody anime.
My rcommendation is 8/10.
I strongly recommend it for Parody lover.

I've watched it many years ago, and had A LOT of fun. One of the 'old but gold' anime, for sure, and I agree with you, quality over quantity, aways.
ReplyDeleteActually, I miss OVAs. I know that OVAs are still being made, but mostly for anime that already had a full season, and not good stand-alones like FLCL
