A Question to Anyone Who Watches Anime...

Gangrell · 11-10-2003, 11:09 PM

I've watched this show a couple of times, and usually I'm able to pick up on anime storylines and such fairly quick. But I was watching Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and I'm baffled, can anyone who watches anime please explain to me what FLCL is supposed to be about?

chaos anime
its storyline and plot sequence is basically rooted around chaotic/random thoughts that the maker thought would be funny.

as for the basic background
well theres this kid, who has a brother whos off someplace, and his brothers girlfriend is always coming on to him. theres also psycho girl whos using the kid for godknowswhat (youll know at the end of the anime what) Theres some backstory/plot to each character in the series (i wont spoil) so itell tell a little bit about whos who in each episode.

but anyhow, theres only 6 episodes and all of them are *wierd* and full of funny ideas and events and of course strange and odd events. the larger part of the plot of the series revolves around the vespa driving girl who is...sorry no spoils!

Yup I followed the story from start to finish. It's purely Chaotic. Though Cartoon Networks line up has changed. I'm now watching Big O, just finished watching Inuyasha. I'm not sure about what the next two are. The next one is represented by a fly of some sort, and the other looks like some guy with a stick or blade in one hand.

Hmmm... That's odd. I thought they were done showing FLCL. Now they're showing it at 1:00 instead of 12:00. I'm assuming this is only temporary considering I've already seen the entire 6 episodes 2 and a half times now. They're showing the firestarter episode again.

The only things we get here is Toonami, part of the Cartoon Network channel and they only send CRAP out here

Yu-Gi-Oh, card captor sakura, DBZ & DBGT for the 469th time and sailor moon......

Thanks for clearing that up, I was picking at my brain trying to see if there was a storyline at all, now I know there isn't, makes sense [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Six episodes you say? The maker run out of funny ideas? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

I disagree, Zuvio, Toonami is great!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

IMO FLCL is the worst anime ever created I hate it with a huge passion.
But if you find it good thats cool but it only has six episodes.

Well then we don't have the same Toonami

Gangrell · 11-11-2003, 04:00 PM

Hmph, Toonami was half decent before they took off Dragon Ball Z and put that bizarre gundam wing series in [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Basically you just have to watch all 6 episodes to find out. whenver my freinds ask me what it's about I just use Phraises from the series to confuse the heck out of 'em [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Example:

Freind: "What the heck is she hitting him on the head with the guitar for?"

Me: "She needs to get IT out!"

on the screen: "Why doesn't it come out?"

Freind: "WHAT'S GOTTA' COME OUT!?"

Me: "iiiit!"
