FLCL is a highly acclaimed anime series known for its frenetic animation and unpredictable storyline. However, I found it to be extremely contrived with no character depth or development. I couldn't relate to anything in the anime, and it felt disjointed. The characters lacked meaningful growth, leaving them stagnant and unengaging. The series bombards viewers with a rapid succession of surreal events, making it difficult to piece together a coherent narrative. FLCL's attempts at symbolism and deeper meaning felt forced and failed to resonate. While the animation and visuals are impressive, they couldn't compensate for the lacking substance and depth. Overall, FLCL fell short of ... its potential, leaving me disconnected and unsatisfied.

This anime was almost as difficult to watch as it was to find the 'write a review' button on this website.

It's a sports anime, but there's barely any actual playing involved.
I have no idea who the characters are or what makes them tick. They have no character development whatsoever, other than "yay power of friendship, we're having so much fun" with zero substance.

At one point I thought this was going to turn into a 'ice hockey team also is idol group' affair, but even that doesn't really come to pass. There was a character who left early in the series and later came back, but ... I had entirely forgotten they even existed as they didn't add anything useful to the non-existing plot.

Overall, the whole series feels like a set-up to sell their game, which subsequently failed shortly after launch. This about sums up the experience.

It wasn't even terrible, it was just boring.
