So I watched the first episode of FLCL with high expectations... and I was completely let down. I did not find it funny or interesting, and to be completely honest, I don't understand what is going on after the first episode. The only thing I liked was the animation. Did anyone else feel this way? Does it get better? Should I stick with it or drop it?

If it's not your cup of tea then maybe not. The humor is incredibly Japanese and difficult to translate, but I tend to just look past that. But the show does definitely get better so give it a chance.

I watched it in English dub. Idk if that makes a difference.

If you didn't like the humor in English, I doubt just watching it in Japanese is gonna make a difference.

There aren't many episodes but there is no major change in tone or anything, if you didn't enjoy or even find Ep1 interesting, you will probably not for the rest.

I personally didn't understand the hype when I first watched it either, to me, its just one of those typical anime that people find nostalgic cause they saw it back on Toonami or something.

Just think of it as a crazy 6 episode music video for The Pillows.

Yes. I thought it was horrible at first so i dropped it but then somebody said 'go watch it right now' and unexpectedly ended up enjoying it.
