huff... I still have no clue on what this series is basically about. Everyone says that you just have to watch it over a couple of times and somehow it'll miraculously bounce into my head. 4rth time and i'm still lost on this magical meaning. Here is what i have concluded so far...>>
*spoiler?***** Naota head = Transmitter Haruko = Alien trying to capture Atomsk(sp?) Unsure about the in-love thing. But she's chasin' him. The being travels through the transmitters(heads) across planets and Naota is like the chosen-head. That is marked by the signals on his forhead. Thats why Haruko is around him but she begins to grow found of him a little...? She is apart of an org named Medical Mechanica which destroy planets. The org. wants Atomsk because he has a lot of power so they can use him. Naota = Ends up loving Haruko? Even though he's a kid, He thought that Mamimi liked him but actually it's because he's the bro of her ex who used to take care of her. So he's depressed there but thats why he likes Haruko even more. Ninamori = Kinda likes Naota? Don't think she has much to do with anything. Mamimi = Crazy pyro..? Obsessed with Naota's bro and wants things her way. Biggg.. pycho i guess IMO though innocent? My own main meaning :: umm.... Naota should be himself? and that his life is just messed up, but he's just a kid though so it's all right? Don't think about too many things and that theres life on other planets in his world..? **end** You see... This is all i have gathered and i don't think my conclusion is anything close to correct. I might have interpreted some wrong info as well but my brains are cluttered. Plz correct me if i've said something wrong but I have no clue. Help......?? PM..?

uh... Was all of this from just the 6 episodes...? I have no idea where most of this was picked up. From the DVD? Mistaking Naota for his brother, and the weird eyebrow eye being a baby, creating NO channels in Naota's head... when did all that happen..?

Sorry if this is an old thead ressurection but, I just watched FLCL with 1 of my friends (im never trusting him again). I usually like this kind of stuff but I didnt laugh even 1 time watching FLCL, its the first anime in all history that actually creeped me out.
I think the story is ok and that the way of showing it is pretty bad (flowing the watchers with tons of informations that are irrevelant at first but become understandable later). My brain hurts just thinking about it. |

Furi-Kuri, FLCL, Fooly Cooly, et al: They mean nothing.
In the final episode Naota's father asks the same question ("It's time to lay it on the line, Naota... you're the main character; you have to know!") and gets no answer. Kuri is supposedly slang onomatopoeia for "breast-tweaking". Furi/fura/kura are onomatopoeia for being dizzy, trembling, wobbling, yawning, and a few other things. FLCL is a shortening of FooLy CooLy, which just sounds, well, cool. One of the main themes being Naota's (and other cast members) false-maturity, a title that suggests unsubstanciated and worthless style is appropriate. (Incidentally, FLCL is, on the surface, style over substance.) But, if anything, FLCL is subjective, so you'd best find your own answers. Anyway, an interesting site for (bewildered) fans is Over-Analyzing FLCL. OAF tries to lay out the facts and mentions many of the smaller details one might have missed on their first, second, third, and so on, viewings (like Mamimi losing her panties a few times and a lot of the untranslated on-screen text).

well, I think FLCL's length is just right, like Gunbuster, so that it tells a good story with a good pace (in FLCL's case, a wacky story in wacky pace), no more and no less, and the ending just comes at the right moment for a great conclusion. However it'd be interesting if they make a second season with a new story (the story between the boy and the class rep girl?) but then I guess I'll just take Gunbuster 2nd season for now
