FLCL is a story about sexual abuse. Naota gets used by both Haruko and Mamimi and his child brain mistakes it for feelings of love. In reality though they have no love for him, Mamimi is using him as a replacement for his older brother and Haruko is using him to get closer to Atomsk (who is symbolically his older brother through the TV guy). Naota's dad is both neglectful as well as behaves carelessly sexual around Naota. Fooly Cooly is just sex. The show's confusing nature reflects how confusing sex is to a child and how confused Naota is because of the sexual abuse he faces at the hands of multiple women.

Throughout the whole show he's trying to force himself to be an adult to compensate for experiencing adult things that he shouldn't be. Trying to be more like his older brother when he's scared, forcing himself to drink sour drinks even though in both the first and last episode we know he doesn't like them.

Haruko leaving him at the end is almost like an admission of her own guilt, she realizes he's just a kid and lets him be just a kid. He's matured enough to know that he's NOT mature by the end, as he stops hanging out with Mamimi and the last scene is him hanging out with Eri and his other age-appropriate friends, drinking a sour beverage and letting the audience know he still doesn't like it.

FLCL is very meaningful and not difficult to understand its regularly dismissed as nonsense because people are dumb and stupid.

The message is that trying to not be stupid makes you more stupid.

This made me realize I remember literally nothing about FLCL. I watched the whole thing and I couldn't tell you a single thing that happens after so many years.

Imagine watching this and thinking Ninamori isn't the best girl.

FLCL is certainly worth thinking about. I just don't know why we have to apply the morale of the day to it or worry about what its trying to say about anything. I mean it has a lot of ideas but very few of them are fleshed in any greater detail and anyone trying to figure them out just misses the point entirely.

>>291610947
FLCL is like sex in the dark.
You don’t know what happened, but you know you liked it.

Good post.
>sexual abuse
I don't know if I would consider it as sexual abuse seeing as Naota enjoyed it or stayed neutral to it all. He only really had a problem with it after the Mamimi didn't reciprocate his feelings back to him.
>as he stops hanging out with Mamimi
He did stop hanging out but not by his own choice. She left town to become a photographer. He probably would've still hung out with her if she had decided to stay behind.
>>
>>291612960
he stops hanging out with her before episode 6
>>
>>291600486
Can you even call it a sexual abuse? I agree overall with the post but Haruko and Mamikmi are mostly just teasing him.
