Watch on Adult Swim

Naota is a normal boy who kills some time with a normal girl by a stream that flows underneath a bridge. Nothing unusual happens in this town. The fact that Haruhara Haruko crashes into the main character with her Vespa a short while later and subsequently hits him over the head with her Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar doesn’t really make any difference to any other day here. The at first glance unconnected, bizarre events that don’t seem to follow any pattern whatsoever don’t change anything about Naota’s boring life, either – because nothing incredible ever happens in this town.

FLCL Progressive and FLCL Alternative are not new seasons of FLCL, they are their own thing. And both of them premiered as movies.

If I'd watch this first in 2000 I'd give it a 8/10. But it just falls a bit short in keeping my attention. Nonetheless it has my respect for doing it's own thing. Definitely worth a watch and I can see why others would rate it higher.

FLCL Season 1 is a cinematic guitar slap on the face...it's like hitting a homerun but instead of a baseball it's a homerun against any and every conventional storyline or a coherent plot ever. Chaotic, melodramatic, a tale so weird and nonsensical on one side and on the other it's a deep intricate More
