Personal Reason: FLCL saved my life. It was the Summer of 2020 and I was thinking about Killing myself. I was going to drinking dish cleaner liquid in a high amount of it. I knew what time I was going to do it. Before I was going to do it at night I looked up Anime to watch you need to watch before dying and a Buzzfeed article comes up and on Number 16 it was FLCL. It was only 6 episodes and I watched it. That night I was crying and drinking water in my bathroom. Sorry for all of that.
Reviews: FLCL is
...
about Baseball, Sex, robots, growing up, guitar, and a lot more. Being an adult is the reason why I like it the most. In the show, every adult is a piece of shit or just dumb and kids and the smarter ones. One The first viewing of it seems crazy, confusing, contradictory, and just looks dumb. But the thing is it is meant to be like that experienced that way and how do I know this its in the show (I think episode 2) when Naota and his are talking. In the show, Naota's dad analyzing the deeper meaning of a robot living in their house but it's just a crazy random thing that happens in the world. Ya and Kazuya Tsurumaki said, "With Evangelion, there was this feeling that you had better be smart to understand it or even work on it but with FLCL, I wanted to say it's ok to feel Dumb and Stupid." FLCL is imagination being made physical and tangible. It's strange moments, over-the-top action scenes with guitar (I love it), reference, stylistic changes (South park, Manga) Fourth wall break thrown in the first episode. Become mature is the one thing I like the most about FLCL. The image of violence and sexuality isn't just titillation it is used as a lens to shape a bigger picture around growing up. As I said before Adults in FLCL are dumb and Kids are smart. So what does it mean to grow up? Naoto (and many other "I act like Adults") thinks that being adults means you are stoic, removed, uncaring, swaying focused on appearing cool, letting any type of admiration go to his head, feeding his ego in nutshell. He doesn't really understand maturity and he's too afraid to take a chance at expressing himself emotionally which is what keeps him from maturing. We see him growing as he learns to understand his youth, realizing that age and wisdom aren't always synonymous. FLCL teaches me you should have ideas of kids even if you are an adult. FLCL is the best thing in the world.
Oh ya, there are dicks in it too.
