| I do not understand, I guess I like it. |
| Haruhara is a bitch for using and toying with Naota for his robot channels. She's an absolutely an entertaining character, but she is just looking to benefit herself without any regard to who she messes up along the way. I think rewatching this, two important things popped out that I didn't necessary focus on before: 1) Haruhara's bracelet reacts to Canti 2) Haruhara is trying to break into the Medical Mechanica plant Both of these things relate to why Haruhara is so interested in Naota, which can be pieced together later. |

| This is strange and weird. I'm sure I haven't picked up half the things I should have, I feel this is one of those multiple visions anime kind of deal... But why the robots come out of Naota's forehead? And whenever he seems to feel some way towards Mamimi? Are we supposed to believe that those robots are a manifestation of some ideas that Candite-kun fights because Naota doesn't want to acknowledge them? Is that what it is? What is that facility all about though? |
| After seeing this episode I reflected and I realized that perhaps behind all this dementia, the narrative wants to hide the discomforts they feel and the harassment that the characters suffer. Illogicated to the pure state but also a lot of fun, even if the narration exaggerate in certain scenes. |

| There is a lesson for each episode that sucks. The Voice actresses especially talk in a nastral voice, the soundtrack and BGM sucks more than even silence, and there is no plot. I don't get how many people rated this a good anime when it doesn't even make sense. Reminds me of how Modern Art sucks.(This shouldn't be considered even an anime at all) This is just inconsistent. I am planning to finish this anime just to give this a 1/10. I don't care if people talk about the symbolism and shit, cause if I ain't seeing it, I may as well not care about it.  |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Maan, this was weird, wtf? I really don't know if I like this show, or think it is crap. |
 |
| Haruko's face reminds me of Kamina, it's strange |
| I laughed when the robot shat out Ta-kun. Not even sorry. That action scene especially was quite great. So was Mamimi's backstory. So far I like her best out of the characters. |
| I still have absolutely no clue what is going on. What kind of game system is that? Probably trying to parody a Gameboy, I'd assume. Not very surprising that they call Mamimi Naota's wife, considering the way she acts around him. Did his brain become Canti? Why does he have two horns now? Thought I was going to have an epileptic seizure while Haruko was changing clothes. Why does Canti need clothes? I like how Naota's family is using Canti as a slave. Really? It's abnormal for robots to be in households, after everything that has happened already? Something tells me Mamimi isn't very good at coming up with names. I wonder if we will get a third, fourth, or fifth Takkun going forward. That guard was just disgusting. If the building doesn't have an entrance or exit, how did Takkun get in there? From the hole Haruko left? What about the guards or the employees? The robot is flying. Can't say I'm surprised. Why did the animation change so drastically? I'm so confused. Why is a medical robot looking at porn magazines? I didn't think Mamimi was the kind of person to get bullied. I guess it can happen to just about anyone, though. The way Naota described the game actually makes it out to be pretty interesting. I'd play that. I don't know a single smoker who would waste that many cigarettes. Mamimi created Secondhand Smoking: The Ritual Circle. I still don't understand how robots come out of his head, but I also have lost the energy to think into it. I'll just have to accept it and move on. The animation here was stellar. Very different from what I've typically seen from early 2000 shows. Why can a medical robot turn into a cannon? |
| Btw Haruko's VA will voice Nonon from Kill la Kill 13 years later, nice :3 |
| still no clue what's happening lmao i'm starting to really appreciate the music though, it's really nice. i like the voice acting too and loveee the animation. i think i found this episode more pleasing to watch than the first one, maybe i am learning to accept that i will never understand jackshit xD still not hardcore in love with the anime, but i think it's good! |
 |
| I... Uh... I... Wha... Wut ? I need an explanation. |
 |
| What am i waching? I kinda feel bad for Mamimi. |

| What a bangin’ episode! |
   |
| Honestly I don't expect this anime to make any more sense anytime soon and I kinda don't mind that haha, it's very abstract, kinda nice. Sometimes it feels like too much is happening at once (yelling, bgm, visuals) but I can bear with it. Animation is still great, I'm liking the characters. |
  |
| I love how this anime is so crazy! It's so fun too! |
I know I'm past my prime when this anime reminds me of younger days. |
 |
| Soundtrack is so damn good, man. |
| A fire heavy episode this time. Poor Mamimi might be getting bullied, and I guess Naota in a sense suspected her for the arson attacks. Can't say I understand the logic anymore with Naota's horn, or his head, but I'll just roll with what's going on, lol. Highlight: Mamimi worshipping the robot that came out of Naota' head, as if he was a God. The ost really helped this scene |
 |
| Gotta say that we got to see even more weird in this episode, and I still absolutely love the soundtrack here in Fooly Cooly; definitely curious to see what's next! |
| Mamimi sure does love her fire, maybe even more then Beavis does. |
 |
| Dude, I don't understand this anime at all, it's so weird and weird animation, but it's absolutely hilarious. 😂😂🤚🏻 Of course some things are inexplicable but it works like that. And why do horns always grow on Takkun? 🤔  |
| Rather than confusing, this is just plain boring. Gonna drop this one. |
| I feel I get the story. But maybe I don't. Still, I enjoy the vibes and the music of this show. It's very fun and energetic. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Hahaha! The point where Naota came out as Cantido-Sama's poop was utterly Lol part. Awesome episode. Got to know a bit of Mamini's Past. |
 |
| Woh that robot is god now lol...loved naotas transformation as he is the one summoning the robots.... |
| not nearly as bad as the 1st episode, only thing i'm liking about this show is its message, can't see myself warming up for the characters or caring for them |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| I cant handle this anime, this one is very short but even 1 episode makes me want to kill myself, the fanservice, the sexual abuse agaisnt a minor, multiple sexual references/imagery, soundtrack like coming out of American Pie, crazyness of the plot(in a very bad way), should I feel guilty for quitting this or should I keep pushing untill the end? No matter what this is going to be a 1-3/10. |
| Again what's carrying this for me is the animation and soundtrack. Other than that I don't care about these characters. Since it's just six episodes I'll continue to see if it gets any better but so far it's not that good |

| I did not grow up with this show. So, this felt kinda like a weird watch. Kinda nice, I guess. Although I'm watching this in English and the dub is still kinda bad. |
| "We brawlers are sustained by willpower! Even when mocked as reckless and crazy!" |
| this anime is so chaotic! |
 |
| Looks like poor Mamimi was bullied and I think she might be homeless if I've got this right about her, the robot was reading a porno mag and yet more robots appeared out of Naoto's head and Haruko tried to break into that building into the distance but failed. I think I've got a feel of what FLCL's like as an anime but I still think it's pretty crazy but at the same time I'm enjoying it still. The soundtrack is still really good I must say. |
| That videogame looks like Sim City 2000, especially when i had fun to unleash natural disasters or ufos on the town. The second cop had the same italian dub voice of Ranma Saotome even if uncredited and it was impossible to avoid noticing (as a coincidence, Haruko has the second voice actress for girl Ranma, passed away way too soon). Midway through the art became ugly and still trying to figure out why. ED seems good. Not too involved with the plot (if there is one) for now. |

Since it's just six episodes I'll continue to see if it gets any better but so far it's not that good This sums up my thoughts pretty well. I really enjoy the music and some of the things they do artistically are cool, but I can't follow the plot at all and couldn't care less about the characters. If this was any longer than six episodes I'd probably have my finger hovering over the Drop button. |
| FLCL is my favorite anime of all time, I have rewatched it 54 times since watching it on release originally, and episode 2 is without any doubt my favorite episode of an anime ever. |

samsince04 said: Well yeah I'm in my 30s so I watched it on release even. FLCL is the one show whenever it gets mentioned I want to rewatch it again. I could mention a lot, my favorite would probably be the usage of Naota growing into trying out / liking bitter drinks being one of the ways they symbolize growing older / up. The entire show is symbolism, easiest short explanation is that it's a story about growing up, about going through the struggles of puberty some kids have.pigdestroyer said: damn 54 times is a bit much.

However FLCL is quite notorious as a show both 'Love it or hate it' and 'You have to rewatch it a few times to get it'. While I've been loving FLCL for so long, I'm bad at explaining things and I could never do it proper justice. |
| it is indeed indubitably pseudo-Lynchian |
