[ANIME] Spotlight: FLCL

[Barney Stinson]

Naota's life is confined to going to school and living with his father and grandfather. The usually boring life in Mabase is rudely interrupted by the arrival of Haruhara Haruko, who bursts on the scene by running Naota over with her Vespa scooter and hitting him on the head with a Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar. Later, Naota is shocked to find Haruko working in his house as a live-in maid.

Haruko's search for the alien being Atomsk puts her at odds with Medical Mechanica. At the same time, Naota is being watched by Commander Amarao. The Commander believes Haruko is in love with Atomsk and Medical Mechanica is out to conquer the galaxy. The fortuitous circumstances get Naota involved in a three-way battle between Haruko, Amarao and Medical Mechanica.

Have the episodes on my computer...for 6 epsidoes, this anime is a KNOCKOUT. The soundtrack is done by a band called The Pillows, and they did a damn good job. Overall one of my favorite animes.

Sweet, if you guys like it then i'll check it out. Does FLCL stand for anything?

 

[Barney Stinson]

Fooly Cooly.

Or something like that.

 

[ChrisH36]

Kind of corny abbreviation though.

Seeing as how Darkmatter enjoyed it, I think I will seriously start watching it next week.

 

[Barney Stinson]

It's only 6 episodes, so it's very easily able to just be run through in one sitting without much 'effort' like some other shows take (like say, Marathonning through all Star Trek series from the original to Enterprise. Or even something like Full Metal Alchemist where it's a good size of episodes but not something over the topt like DBZ).

That's what, just a bit under two and a half hours?

 

[Wing Zero]

3 hours

Like the series but its not something i would watch over and over

 

[Barney Stinson]

6 episodes at 21minutes a piece = just under 2h30m.

Episodes arn't actually 30 minutes long.

 

[Darkmatter]

Ya, it's short but very memorable. Especially the music, and the humor.

 

[Barney Stinson]

I tried to catch it the dozen times Adult Swim marathons it, but I always seem to miss the first two and stop at the 5th one. Or jsut have no ****ing clue what's going on in it at all cause I don't really pay attention.

i know that but i round up for anime

AS never has a clue when they schedule's ****

 

[Barney Stinson]

Good news everyone! Adult swim is having another contest to see a custom lineup. I really wanna win so I could make a baller lineup and have them put it as their Mon-Thurs one.

 

[Darkmatter]

They actually do that? Epic. I'd like them to cycle in Trigun/Cowboy Bebop/More Venture Bros. and maybe Aqua Teen reruns...

 

[Barney Stinson]

American Dad
Family Guy
Home Movies
Boondox
Venture Brothers
Stroker and Hoop.

Game over hollywood. Swap VentureBrothers/Stroker and Hoop out with Squibbles/Metaloclopse/AquaTeens/SeaLab and Boondox with Robot Chicken/Birdman.

 

[torrid mind]

Was I the only one who liked the dubed version?


Nice line-up, needs more sealab, less american dad.

 

[Barney Stinson]

**** that American Dad is the greatest.

Yeah, its like Afro Samurai. Its only 6 episodes as well and I got through it in 3 hours.

**** that American Dad is the greatest.

I liked it when I watched it a long time ago.

 

[Darkmatter]

Family Guy is better then American Dad. Sealab is funny as **** too.
