    Anime menz (reposted into the correct evening reading.....I wondered how you guys already made 2700+ posts)

    F.L.C.L (Fooly Cooly): Have you seen it, did you like it, was it amazing and insightful or just downright annoying?

    For those of you unfamiliar with FLCL, just watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3b0A_KjihY

    Behind all the giant robots growing out of the head of a boy run over by a vespa riding alien girl who fight's with a bass guitar, constantly switching animation styles and loud jrock soundtrack by The Pillows, it's really sort of an amazing coming of age story set in a small town with a giant factory that looks like an iron.

    The entire show (only about 3 hours long) makes very little sense the first time through but it's immensely enjoyable. I'm not sure why, but I absolutely love it. it ends up feeling like a really great story told through what almost becomes a spoof of the whole anime genre and all it's associated craziness.

      Worth a note, FLCL is coming to DVD again for cheaps this time. I think Feb was the release date. : akirabob
