FLCL (AKA Fooly Cooly) is easily one of the most
bizarre and whacky anime series out there. It's like... really
weird... and also really short. There are only six episodes-- and
none of them make any sense whatsoever.
It's mostly just lighthearted comedy, but it's really, really
bizarre comedy. Like I said, none of it even makes any sense.
The art style in it is kind of... different. I don't know, you just
have to see it for yourself. Animation is fluid and all that jazz.
In episodes 1 and 6 there are extremely whacky and pointless scenes
that appear as black and white comics. Really really weird. There
are also a lot of references and parodies of other cartoons, comics,
and anime in it, including references to Gundam, Lupin III, and a
part where the characters appear as South Park characters.
Although you can see a plot overview up above, there's really no
plot. It was just kind of thrown in there to give it SOME point, but
there isn't a point anyway. That's what makes it cool.
Unfortunately, it's only six episodes long, as I said. There wasn't
any more to be done, but it kind of stinks that it's so short.
If you like anime and pointless, whacky junk, then go check out FLCL.
It's nifty. |
