Dead Leaves

The anime actions, the crazyness that you dont understand but makes you wanna watch it anyway.
Simliar animation, lots of random crazy funny moments, but the pervertedness is a few more clicks up the scale than FLCL
those two have many, many mindfuck-moments, it isn't really an anime who can watch anyone (some could even barf)
the animations are often cartoon-like, the storyline is very weird and the characters are mad... more than mad, just mindfuck!
for people, who are sometimes high, and those ones, who aren't epileptics surely a commendations
Same action and comedy styles.

What these two have in common is their lack of boundries. Both go places and do things that will leave your jaw on the floor. The writers of both series were really on the ball when it come to maign dialigue which is nothing short of hilarious. Plenty of action and side splitting comedy with just a touch of drama to move the plot along; a pefect combination.

If you liked Dead Leaves, you'll like the same sort of crazy energy and action that's found all over FLCL. On the flip side, if you liked FLCL for it's heart, for it's smart usage of energy and action to tell a story about youth, responsibility, innocence lost, and for it's ability to transcend genre and medium to tell a compelling literary story, then Dead Leaves is not for you. This is really just a one way street. If you like Dead Leaves you'll like FLCL, the reverse, however, is not necessarily true. Dead Leaves is FLCL without the emotion and

both have a unique style of animation and both have over the top humor. These are the kinds of animes that you don't take seriously and are best enjoyed watching with friends while getting wasted. :)
If your into chaotic action and humor with an underlying story of epic proportions then you would be well served with either series.
First of all, they both have a similar animation style. They both are really crazy, with no apparent logic or storyline. Aaand... both are really funny xD
Both are crazily animated. Wild characters. Crazy and random storyline.
If you thought Fooly Cooly was a wild trip then you better prepare yourself, Dead Leaves takes Fooly Cooly's craziness and multiplies it tenfold, you'll finish Dead Leaves confused yet satisfied.
Both are fucking crazy and gets the blood pumping

Production I.G. was part of the FLCL Production Committee. About 3 years after FLCL, Production I.G. made Dead Leaves, which inherits some of FLCL's crazy spirit and energetic visuals. Retro's TV head seems like a Canti reference.
Same creators, both have crazy random action with hard-to-follow stories. The difference is, Dead Leaves is the wrong way of approaching this type of animation while FLCL does a much better job. Everything about Dead Leaves is repulsive and juvenile (sex, fart, poop jokes everywhere) while FLCL retains some class. Dead Leaves feels like it's trying too hard to be random and edgy, while FLCL feels like its craziness is at least motivated by the characters and story. Either way, this is true of both: you'll either love it or hate it.

Both have crazy art styles, action scenes, and unexplainable events. Over the top, over the top, over the top.

Both are crazy, trippy, sci-fi comedies with fast pacing when you don´t really know what they are about but you can really enjoy them. Both have random as well as some perverted moments.
Both are insanely wacky anime with very sporadic animation. Dead Leaves animation is much weirder and harder to get used to.
Both have no lack of comedy and are pretty funny.
Both can be pretty vulgar. Dead Leaves is the much more raunchy one of the two.
Both have good dubs though that is merely subjective.
Both are very confusing but can still be enjoyed if you don't understand them.
Both have very high rewatch value due to how short they are in length. Dead Leaves is less than an hour long while FLCL can be finished in under 3 hours.
I prefer Dead Leaves though that is just me.

Both anime are extreme examples of nonsensical action that continues throughout each series.
Both have a lot of dirty humor in then with Dead Leaves having more of it.
The animation styles on both border on chaotic (in a good way).
The characters in both are crazy and a bit psychopathic.

the animation, the rythm, the intensity of these animes are similar.
Also, they are particularly absurd and funny.

Dead Leaves is a mix between FLCL and Invader Zim, so if you like either of those then you'll like the other.
Both are completely weird and confusing to watch where you might think you're high or on drugs, but they are also classic masterpieces.

Both aside from being from the same studio, are both high octane trippy wild rides with a crazy cool cast as well too.

Dead Leaves and FLCL are anime that feature amazing visuals and crazy, non-sensical comedy. If you enjoyed one, you'll likely enjoy the other.
One word can describe FLCL and Dead Leaves: insanity. Both anime are short and over the top in every single thing. Some of the characters and the humor are similar in both anime, and Canti and Retro both have TVs for heads. The art styles are similar as well, but Dead Leaves is more stylized. While both anime are crude, Dead Leaves is much more crude and is more violent. These anime aren’t for everybody, but they are worth trying at the very least.
