Couldn't find the thread that undoubtedly already exists so I have made my own. Feel free to discuss the show and the spin off series Alternative and Progressive too! https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/097/598/7b3.jpg

I want 20 grams of whatever the writers of this show were smoking

FLCL has 3 parts. Alternative and Progressive are the sequels of the original. Though they are not long they are all equally insane. It's the music that hooks most fans. I personally own the soundtrack. Haruko is more or less the antagonist of each. She's there to challenge the protagonists' world view through a twisted musical based lense. If that made any sense?

And! She's a little perverse with a child! Yippee! Well, preteen-ish. Wasn't it explained the FLC was just a euphemism for sex? Weird show, but great music.

Hey man I watched this when I was in middle school. Either way I do own the album. As for meaning behind the story it was mostly left to interpretation by the viewers. It was created as a pallet cleanser from the studio that worked on Evangelion. A popular theory is that it was the perspective of a kid growing up with depression and neglect. However it devolved into a comedy spectacle with wacky over the top battles against random alien monsters set to rock music! https://ap2hyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/FLCL-768x432.png

Yeah... It had things eluding to the awkwardness of puberty, too.. It was all over the place, but good.

Progressive was a little boring but Alternative was decent. The original of course is iconic and it's a fun watch.

@kuharido I agree. Progressive without Flo just isn't the same. Lacked the same level of coverage I needed. Not to mention that the pacing didn't move at a rate I preferred! https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/super-smash-flash-3/images/7/77/Flo_2.jpg https://light-in-the-attic.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/release_image/24849/image/large_550_tmp_2F1570038400971-kity8sopwy-3a99942c15b6bc5b6fb88f19218a46bf_2FFLCL_LP_Cover_RGB300_900px.jpg

I finished watching it. FLCL Alternative was my favourite seasons. It was the least confusing one and it was kinda like a Slice of life which I love
