FLCL

Post by Gil Hamilton »

OK, could someone with greater knowledge of anime than me explain something to me... see, I just caught an episode of FLCL and I've got a question.

What the blue fuck is going on?

I swear, it's even more incoherant than anything I've ever seen on TV (and that says something) and as I watched it I realized that I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So, um yeah.

Watch the whole series.
The revolution is successful, but survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives means slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered.

I have no idea what was going on, but it was awesome. Especially the manga-oid part and when they spoke of Gundam.

YES!!!

I love it, and I dont' t have clue as to what's going on, and I love it, and it's great, and I love it, and it's hilarious, and I love it, and I love it, and... and... *zzzt* *thud*

Well, that was pointless.

Yep. Time to hunt down small cute things, rip them apart, and eat them.

Just don't leave any messes on the carpet.

I love it, too. I've got the second DVD, waiting for the first one to arrive at a place I have a gift certificate to, and am waiting for the third disc with the collector's box to arrive on Thursday. I wish it wasn't so good, because it's tough on the wallet.

Connor, yeah, 6 episodes.
