| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Okay, one question. Did it end up properly? LOL! |
     |
| Uh...yeah. Yeah, it did. What's the LOL all about. |
 Also known as Monster in a box, but I hate that handle...and it doesn't fit here. |
| I'm just laughing out loud about this Furi Kuri thing. LOL! I never understood what's the meaning of Furi Kuri even after watching the whole show.. LOL! |
|
| I just watched this last night/this morning.. WTF, haha... I'm not sure if I'd say it ended properly. Oh well, I don't think this is the type of show to have a structure as such =P |
| <3 |
| Well, I think it is just an expression. ^_^ |
|
| Hmm? Oh, no, I wasn't saying anything against your use of lol. I got the joke =P |
| <3 |
| I mean, for this series, saying Furi Kuri is just an expression for them. That's what I think. LOL! |
|
| Oh I see =] Maybe so. I don't think it really matters. Furi Kuri Kura Fura Bora Furi Bari Bure Furi Kuri Kuri Kura Furi Fura, and the likes. :P Edit: Hang on a minute... I didn't realise, but it seems we HAVE talked. ^_^ |

| Yeah, that's why it is just an expression for them and it has really no meaning. This show really bothers me alot, how come the main character in the Furi Kuri also didn't know what does Furi Kuri means. Hahaha! Jikkir said: Oh I see =] Maybe so. I don't think it really matters. Furi Kuri Kura Fura Bora Furi Bari Bure Furi Kuri Kuri Kura Furi Fura, and the likes. :P Edit: Hang on a minute... I didn't realise, but it seems we HAVE talked. ^_^ Haha! Yeah, we've just talked! |
|
| seemed like the ending was lacking something, not sure exactly what. it just feels very unresolved for some reason. |
| It's truly lacking for a 6 episode of weirdness. Try watching it again for the 2nd time. LOL! |
|
| as far as the meaning of "furi kuri", in the director's commentary it is stated that it's a play on the term "kuri kuri" which is apparently slang for "fondling breasts". in ep. 1, the grandpa shows haruko about fondling breats during the manga scene. also in ep 6, kamon is is like "fooly coolying all over the place!" IMO it's particularly hilarious when they ask naota what it means and he says "how should i know, i'm still in grade school!" |
| The wierdest animé so far.. it was ok |
| Hahaha! Oh yeah, I kinda remember those scenes about the manga scene. So it was really about like that, eh?! FONDLING BREASTS?! Really, a weird anime. What's the connection of Fondling Breasts in the story?! Hahaha! |
|
| Loved the ending. Definitely need to watch it a few times to understand it, then a few more times to pick up on all the in-jokes, puns and plays on words. Love the inclusion of satirical elements that include western culture too, such as South Park, don't see it often at all. |
| Yeah, but overall is the animation style. It's just so epic. Hahaha! |
|
| The connection between fondling breasts and FLCLs story is huge. It's essentially a story of coming of age, obviously, so it's sprinkled full with sexual innuendo and other things. Pretty much everything is a metaphor for sexuality and maybe freedom (not every closely that Naota goes FLCL and has hard, long objects growing out of his head whenever there's girls around). The whole thing is so eminently multi-layered... Definite favourite of mine. |

| I think it ended well. I would have mind seeing them both go off together in space. But it was good ending still |
| Ahhh, I see I see!!! So, the plot is really on coming to age?! Hmm, still don't want to know that why is it focused in the robots near the end. Haha! Furi Kuri - Fondling Breast - coming to age - robots?! |
|
| Metaphors and, hmm, just random nonsense XD Tip: Listen/read their conversations without thinking of what's going around. You'll see that a large portion of what they talk about is thinly veiled sex. |

| Hahaha! Yeah, I also found that there. And the way Naota reacts is the way I like it. Hahaha! How the child come to be adult, eh?! |
|
| This was one of the most weird animes, I've ever seen. The creators must have been high, when they thought about making this xD Overall, this was really good. Gets a 9/10 :) |
| Correction: They had just made NGE. They needed a break. If you've seen NGE, you know you really don't need drugs anymore. Now imagine creating it. |

| ^ Hahaha! I LMAOd at your post there. But when you say a weird anime. FLCL is REALLY is a weird anime. Come on! |
|
| Yeah, but not mental-illness-inducing-weird. It's just delicious madness :3 |

| since most of you guys seem to think the story makes no sense whatsoever ill try sum it up. FLCL is a huge metaphoric anime, you could say its story about the sexual development stage of a boy. the story begins when Haruko ("investigator for the Galactic Space Patrol Brotherhood") opens a portal in naota's head with her guitar in her attempt to find atomsk the priate king, robots come out of this portal when hes sexual active. all the robots including Canti come from Medical Mechanica. Medical Mechanica wants to iron out the wrinkles in brain to make everyone dumb. the iron is expressed as that big ass factory/iron in the middle of the town which puts out steam. The hands are expressed throughout the episodes as the robots. Towards the end of the OVA series there are big hands which come close to flatten the town with the iron. Noata saves the day with the powers of the pirate king. Actually you need to watch the whole series to know wtf is going on. even then you might still be a bit confused. Gainax has a tendency to fk with peoples heads |

| I get the story, but overall I didn't think it was that great. 7/10. |
 |
| I kind of expected an ending like this. It was good, yet it feels a bit incomplete. It was still a very awesome series though, and the fight between Naota and Haruhara was pretty cool. |
 |
| the series was horrible. I like random but....erm. no. 2/10. |
| It seems pretty resolved to Me. Everyone went along there 'merry' way. I'd get more into it, but I'm not sure if spoilers are allowed. I'm kinda new to the site |
| "I'll take a potato chip....AND EAT IT!!!!" |
| i think it ended in a great way without making it feel all resolved in a sappy way cause pretty much that wouldn't make sense with the premise they had with the randomness, crazyness, mindf*ck story they were going with it. For a 6 episode ova series its pretty damn awesome. I enjoyed it alot due to its difference which in all trying something different is what gets us somewhere. |
| Sucks. 6/10 |
| I didn't like the ending. I hoped that they would summed it up better, but oh well. Anyway it was enjoyable and a unique series. |
 |
| The problem I had with the ending was that Naota really didint change much. He grew up a little, saving the world, expressing his love for Haruka. But You see him later in High School acting the same. Thats what really took away from the story, imo. Thats why it doesnt have a "resolved feeling" to it. |
| Ok ok...THAT was epic.... |
| Riiight. Not the best ending ever, I think i preferred the 5th episode. Very good anime, completely insane, but really entertaining. |
 |
| Awesome. |
 |
| Ahh man my favorite anime. Ever. I started watching this because I remember seeing some of it before with my older sister years ago. It makes me feel so nostalgic. But yea, it was good in a way that it was so short, so it doesn't spoil like all those animes that drag on for too long. |
 |
| I don't get any of this...I don't know and I was asleep for one episode. Definitely, not my type. 4/10 |
| I love it! Its totally random and thats what makes it so awesome! I watched it all in one day!! |
| Naota's father: "Let's be a normal anime!" ... No way, José! This was far from being normal xDD I liked it, although I didn't really get everything there is to get, I believe. Rail_Man said: The problem I had with the ending was that Naota really didint change much. He grew up a little, saving the world, expressing his love for Haruka. But You see him later in High School acting the same. Thats what really took away from the story, imo. Thats why it doesnt have a "resolved feeling" to it. Can't agree here. I think it emphasized that Naota IS really a kid. Yes, he wanted to grow up and be acknowledged as an adult, but in reality, he still is a kid. That's why in the end, both Haruko and Mamimi leave him and he's finally free from being torn between those two stages (being a child and being an adult). In the end, he's left in the stage in-between to begin growing up for real. I guess...xD" Might be totally wrong though. Anyway, I quite liked this. 9/10. :3 Pyon! |
| I really love this anime! XD |
 |
| Despite the randomness and wierdness and WTF? moments this show was great, 8/10. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| One on the most crazy thigns we've ever seen. Though I haven't understoond many moments but anime is great. |
| The animation was fantastic and so was the soundtrack. The first episode hooked me up and the rest disappointed me 4/10 |
 |
| Quite a bit of a dividing line for this series between everyone I suppose. Great Anime, awesome clusterfuck but to really get it you need to watch it again and then again if your still lost. Doable with a short series like FLCL but still a drag. 7/10 |
