FLCL (Fooly Cooly) Review

Plot Summary

...*opens mouth to say something*.... *closes it* ....*opens it again*... *closes*....

Story

FLCL is... random. Really random. Like, the makers probably took some acid before they made it random. If I tried to describe the first episode, I'd probably either take a long time to describe it, or end up confusing myself in the process, hence the "Plot Summary".

The thing that makes this amazing, though, is that through all the entertaining randomness is that if you look really, really close, you can find some semblance of a real plot, and a dang good one, too.

Characters

The characters range from kinda strange to completely out-of-this-world weird (...no pun intended...), which does nothing but fuel the randomness even more.

However, once again, if you pay attention, you see development in the characters, and you really do start empathize with them.

9.1

Animation

The animation will range from sort-of-okay to full-out amazing digital effects to South Park... yes... South Park...

Now, the range of quality and style of animation will usually be a complaint, but the range does nothing but add to the show overall.

9.2

Music

The soundtrack to FLCL is... amazing. Full of guitar and Japanese rock type ballads, I don't think it ever lets up.

9.5

Overall

FLCL, though random, is amazing. I think there's a little bit of something for everyone, whether it's the development hiding in the randomness or the randomness itself.
