I love anime, but

I'm apparently not doing the right drugs for FLCL to make sense. Its like a mix of Pink Floyd's The Wall and my one friend's 21rst birthday party where I got trashed and passed out on his couch.

I don't get it, however. In fact, I don't get much of the anime he watches. How is that pronounced, again? "Furi-Kuri?"

I like Trigun, and Bebop of course.

I wasn't digging Blue Gender at first, but I'm liking it now.

And to clarify, I don't *hate* FLCL, I just have no idea what the F is going on half the time.

I did...I really liked it.

My favourite characters are the girl and the dog.

But it's impossible to explain and a loveit/hateit type of a show.

I come down on the side of loving it.

it's worth watching all the way to the end, believe me.

Even without paying attention to the story. The artwork is just stunning, the music is perfect and it's the only Anime that gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Especially the entire 'hybrid rainbow' segment in Episode 2.

The story will make sense, you just need to watch it a few more times.

even more confusing, FLCL the anime series was all of the stuff happening in the manga sorted out, the manga, how ever, had it all going on at once

FLCL is about a boy growing up, Adults that act like children, a robot that makes bread, Robots that come out of your head..Ok so i still have not figured ALL of it out but its one of the most beautifly animated anime shows ive ever seen..I dont do drugs but i deffanlty felt like i was tripping after watching ep 5..And the band that supplys the music, THE PILLOWS, ROCK!..Its deffanlty worth watching if you enjoy great animation..
Cowboy Bebop and The Big O are great animes too
Thank frikkin god for Adult Swim

not ringing any bells here

30 min from now

FLCL is deffanlty one of the trippyest cartoons that ive ever soon..worth a look for anyone who likes animation

that its ONLY 6 episodes long

It's another hit from Gainax, the sam people who've made Evangelion (and if you thpight FLCL was mindblowing...), Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water --Cartoon network ad/or Adult Swim should show that one--and Kare Kano (I'll try to get the DVD set for Christmas) FLCL has the best rock music soundtrack ever, especially when Minamori has that robot grow out of HER head (!) Naota--the main character_-is perhaps the most matre anme creation I've seen, Unnlike Eva's Shinji, he doesn't screw around and doesn't need a handout (especially episode 5). His dad is fucked in, in a very funny way (I loved the Lupin bit). And lastly, Haru Hara Haruko--wel, just watch the show :evilgrin:

BTW, :wtf: happened to the last epsiode of Big O? It should have been "The Show Must Go on", not going BACK to Roger's bad trip down the memory hole :shrug: (I understand the story, just womdering why they skipped backwards for)

But on a good note, Dragonball is now showing the epic Goku vs Piccolo battle at the Martal Arts toournament, you don't want to miss these!

actually understand the big O? please fill me in here

Its a great anime though..GOD i wish american televevison animation would get a clue

Confused me as well...

I went to the Adult Swim msg boards. Apparently, some sort of mix-up occured and they will be running the real season finale this Sunday.

Ok, I'll try to explain th Big O as best as I can here;


warning, spoiler ahead!




40 years ago, something happened which seemed to have caused everone in Paradgn City to suddenly lose their memories. I strongly suspect some kind of dimensional disturbance, where you would have several realities.In one reality, everyone has their memories (or data in the case of androids and robots) The Big O "reality" is where these memories have been mosly forgotten and/or hidden. Because...Paradign City is actualy a giant movie set! :eyes: If the citizens of Paradign found out they were being used as pawns for some 'God", well, all hell would break loose.

Enter Roger Smith. He is the Negotiator, in charge of settling disputes and hired by the founder of Paradign to prevent anyone form gaining access to the lost memories and raise hell. For womever has the memories of the past will in effect control Paradign City.

More spoilers--most of the people in Paradign City were "born" via artifial means--in the last episode in order, Police Chef Dotson ran into a clone of himself as a boy! Alex Gldwater, son of the man who "created" paradign, has found one of the rare Megadus robots, and when he found out that he was nothing more than another "tomato" grown by his father, he activates the Big Frau Megadues with the memory core of Dorothy (Roger's android girlfriend). He intends to remake Paradign into his own version, and have himelf declared Domiunce of Megadeus. Roger Smith climbs into his Megadues the Big O, and the final battle was about to start.

I know it's not the best answer, but once the final episode airs, then I can summarize much better.

That's what it stands for.

The show doesn't even begin to make any sense until towards the very end, IMO.

acronym?

:wtf:
