best series ever, search your heart you know it's true
Best OVA for sure. I'm glad FLCL was never ruined by pumping out unnecessary sequels
>>214925474
Not even close.
>>214925417I've tried to watch it many times but the same always happen>start episode 1>boy with girl who is crazy for him>he ignores her and is rude to her>i'll never get anything similar to that, and he is being ungrateful about it>get depressed and cry in bed
>>214925684She’s his older brothers sloppy seconds
>>214925684Being dismissive and critical literally works every single time when flirting with girls. They're a meme species.
>>214925684Bruh he’s 12 and she’s 17 and basically just molesting him. How do you miss that?
>>214925417Go back to /a/
>>214925417I like it but no
>>214925944As I said in my comment, I could never get through the first 5 minutes. He looks 12 but she looks 13 or 14
>>214925684>Rejecting your older brother's mentally challenged fucktoyHaving actually done this IRL, it hit home to me.
>>214925684I mean yeah I would like to be a 12 year old with a 17 year old delinqust girl who kisses me all over with those big soft pillowy lips and does dirty molesty stuff to mehowever he acts that way with her because 1. he's trying to be a smart edgy cool guy 2. he's insecure 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY she is ONLY using him as a surrogate for his cool older brother who abandoned her to play baseball in America and fuck American blond girls and she is not actually attracted to him at all and sees him as a gay little kidhis older brother has been up in that pussy first and it's practically NTR in the sense of "yeah I'm doing touchy feely stuff with you and teasing you but you could never ever compare to your big bro and I'll never actually fuck you" type stuff
>>214925474>unnecessary sequelsthe only one that wasn't very good was Alternative.Progressive, Grunge and Shogaze were all very much in the spirit of the original. The only thing they were missing were the random little references and easter eggs you'd see flying around.would recommend watching those if you are a real fan of FLCL.
>>214925698I thought she was his older brother
>>214926422
>>214925728>Being dismissive and critical literally works every single time when flirting with girls.it's actually an attention thing. most cute girls are used to simp attention, and the cuter they are, the more simp attention they get from both boys and girls.when they get brushed off by someone they have a subconscious need to try to win them over because they're just so used to everyone giving them simp attention and feel like they're doing something wrong and need to fix it.there's also the intrigue of someone who doesn't immediately simp for them which increases interest.
>>214926223>I like ityou don't LIKE fooly cooly, you ACCEPT fooly cooly.
>>214926421real flcl fan here,those all fucking sucked. fuck you.
No
>>214925684It's because he's a prepubescent child and she is a high school senior trying to molest him, it's not meant to be sexy
>>214926523>real fan>types like reddityou need to go backi waited 18 years for any kind of sequel, i cried watching the announcement for progressive/alternative.
>>214926452The MC says she acts just like him multiple times...
>>214926545big o was the most boring ass nothing happens dry shit. i would immediately do a 360 and change the channel when it came on. (after the theme song)

>>214926313she looks significantly older.

Stop watching anime. It's for teens and manchildren with awful taste
>>214925417I always assume these "classics" from the era ameriburgers had like 10 anime to choose from must be overrated as hell.
>>214927500>It's for teens and manchildrenHe said on 4chan.
>>214927390>boyfriend who ditched herwasn't even her boyfriend, if you make it to ep2 you realize it's just a boy she had a crush on after he saved her from the fire.he was always more focused on baseball and she would follow him around, which is why the "your hands are upside down" line lands so well in the beginning of the first ep, she learned from watching him not being taught by him.
>>214926678Left: first result when googling "14 years old girl full body" Right: first result when googling "17 years old girl full body" Which one looks more like the anime character we are talking about?

>>214927571>comparing real life white girls to jap anime schoolgirl?
>>214927615>replying to an anon who says she LOOKS significantly older >inb4 she looks significantly older than the guy yea that's usually how it goes for girls in the beginning of puberty. They start earlier so they are usually taller than boys at least until they hit 14 or 15
>>214927554>>214927594This board specifically is intended for movies and television
>>214927656but I saw it on tv
>>214927511>I've never watched this show but I'll make a bunch of retarded assumptions about it like I'm an expert!
>>214927656Which are for teens and manchildren.
>>214927646the more apt comparison is loli vs teens in anime. she is drawn as signficantly older than naota.
>>214925417one of the most creative ovas, and excellent animation, but not necessarily the best
>>214927713>inb4 is fulfilled perfectly
>>214927571>having those terms in your search history just to "win" an argument on a mongolian basket weaving forum
>>214927760>haha i knew the correct answer to my faulty logic that means I win
>>214927656>didn't watch FLCL on /tv/ during the based early [adult swim] days.ngmi
>>214925417>>>>>>>>>>>>/a/
>>214927779I refuted the inb4 before you even replied exactly the same thing. Here it is: >yea that's usually how it goes for girls in the beginning of puberty. They start earlier so they are usually taller than boys at least until boys hit 14 or 15
>>214927814You didn't refute anything. You just don't know what you're talking about. loli/shota is drawn with large heads, large eyes, small bodies. older teens have larger bodies, smaller heads, smaller eyes. The older the character, the smaller their eyes.
>>214927869And? How does that contradict that she looks like a 13-14 years old? Konata from Lucky Star is 18 years old, yet she is drawn like a loli. Jotaro kujo is 17 years old, yet he is drawn like a 30 years old with steroids. What are you on about? Did you just watch one anime and decided that all anime art-styles are the same as that one?
>>214927904anon, even if your shitty collage the 13 year old you found has larger eye to face ratio than the 17 year old.you people choose the dumbest hills to die on.
>>214925417I absolutely hated this, I can’t recall the exact reasons but this was complete shit and I get angry when I see people praise it
>>214927930Nigga you blind. That's all I'm going to say.
>>214928031You are "arguing" against factual observation of how anime establishes character ages and the anotomical fact that human eyes don't grow much with age, but skulls do.
>>214928019If you can’t remember the reasons, perhaps your disdain towards it is invalid.
>>214928068It was almost 10 years ago, won’t put myself through watching it again just so I can confirm why I hated it
>>214925684That dynamic is my favorite part of the show. Realizing that even her nickname for Naota is a reference to his brother is when the show became a 10/10 for me. And it’s soul crushing when he finally shows some agency and she doesn’t like it.
>>214928066>factual observationOk. Let's assume that FACTUALLY SPEAKING Mamiri is as mature as almost an adult (17 years old is only one year away of 18, after all). This leads to two questions: 1-What age does Haruka looks like? She looks way more matured than Mamiri. 2-Why does the 17 years old female character has exactly the same eye to face ratio than the 13 years old male?
>>214927711>>214927771Are you one of those weird bootlicking fagots who is afraid of looking up information online?
>>214928094It’s 6 episodes. It’s not like it’s taking much of your valuable time.
>>214925417Absolute kino OST
>>214928151... and yeah, haruko is older than 17.
>>214928181Can you feeeeeeeel?Can you feeel that hybrid rainbow?
>>214925417
>>214928230CLAAAAAAZY SUNSHINE
>>214928154My time is valuable. That's why I don't waste it rewatching trash.
>>214925417>>>/a/
>>214928285Posting your pleb opinions wastes my time.
>>214925417It was amazing. I can't bring myself to watch the other seasons. Also I live in Japan and no one knows this show here. Its audience is entirely western.
>>214928245i didn't know what my life was missing until i saw this image, thank you based anon
flcl was style over substancevery pretty to watchnothing below the surface
>>214926545Its Big KinO but wtf were they just didn’t even try with the ending
>>214925474FPBP from the good timeline.

>>214928735you people always go for the strangest "no you"s
>>214928750>you peoplewhat did he mean by this
anime can NEVER be kino (EVER)
>>214928750I replied to your “no u” attempt with a graphical “no u,” and because I wasn’t the guy you originally replied to, that means it’s 2 against one and you lose, sorry man I don’t make the rules.
>>214928765he forgot to put people in quotes.
>>214928772>anime can NEVER be movie
I should probably watch this because i loved TTGL and years later CP: Edgerunners. Kill la Kill was boring QUALITY shit though.
>>214928789that % of china is grim, india even worse.so many people living in 3rd world conditions in those countries
>>214928772Wrong. FMA 2003 is kino, but that is the ONLY kino.
>>214928819I like TTGL, FLCL and Edgerunners but never cared for KLK.
>>214928245I still sometimes think about this image.
>>214928182>haruko is older than 17Yea. That was my point.
>>214929185except you don't seem aware of how she's clearly drawn to be older. you're stuck on this "everyone is the same age" idiocy, because you can't admit that maybe you missed key indicators of age in an anime designed to be instantly understood by teenagers and younger.
>>214926421>>214926568Sequels sucked because the animation sucked, it's that simplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFudtjWAd3MCompare this garbage to any fight scene in the original
>>214930157No, that's was never my point. My point is that the kid looks 12-13 and the girl looks 14.
>>214925474Flcl was shit since the beginning of the first OVAs
>>214930281and you've been proven wrong a number of different ways.
>>214926545holy based, batman!
>>214928031Calm down, subhuman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlKa33Ty_1c
>>214930278Damn that's some low effort, soulless animation
i just remember baseding out as a kid when they did a random ass south park bit in one episodewas the first time i saw some japshit reference western media
>>214930281>the kid looks 12-13he looks prepubescent, so like 10-11.she looks at least 16.
>>214930524the canon ages are 12 and 17 btw.
>>214930401there was the scene in the barber shop where he's talking on the phone in ep5 and they change to south park style. another part of ep5 naota does his hoodie like kenny, but there's also a kenny doll in ep3 when the teachers car gets destroyed.what's really wild is south park really wasn't popular at all outside of the US, and considering they started working on the show in 1997/98 south park would have only been on tv for like a year, so before bigger longer and uncut was in theaters.
>>214925417FLCL is a fucking masterpiece.I have never watched anything, before or since, that gets the specific feeling of that specific moment in life, and they do it via apparently random bullshit. You're watching colorful shit happening, and at some point the music kicks in and it all comes back and hits you like a ton of bricks and you're not even sure what has happened.I love TTGL to but that's way easier to achieve, it is straight-up uplifting and over-the-top heroics.
>>214928113based show understander>>214925417true, it is in fact my number 1 anime of all time.
this show may have given me one of my first boners
>>214928245Fucking miss these Big Dawgs weeb images.
>>214928245
the pillows are the best part about this anime. the music is so fucking good.
>>214926421>Grunge and ShogazeWait, there were more?
>>214925417This whole show's mostly one long sequence of non-sequitors.
>>214930524>>214930564The whole show is a metaphor for puberty + growing up.
>>214932264yeah they weren't bad, Grunge has a very weird art style but by the end of the first episode it felt like they had captured the spirit of the original really well.
>>214925684I hate how illiterate you are you obstinate fucker fuck you
>>214925417I constantly flip between thinking it's this and ping pong
>>214925684>all the replies to this like "nooo you don't understand having a girl who wants your dick is actually bad!"Normalfags live in a completely different world.
>>214931599This scene, Tenchi Muyo, and Slut Girl on fozzycomics ruined me forever.
>>214933201Disgustingly based.
>>214927571...why are you looking up the bodies of minors, anon?
>>214927571Why do anime characters look more like white people?
>>214925680BASED
>>214932099>20 years later>still haven't watched more than the first half of episode one
>>214933322Being molested by a girl obsessed with your brother, because you’re the closest thing to the dick she wants, as a prepubescent isn’t a good thing
>>214933668*18 years
>>214932318True.>>214928113Also true.Atomsk and Haruko are stand-ins for Naota’s brother and Mamimi. He finds himself pulled into this world that is so far beyond his comprehension, it might as well be science fiction. He falls in love with a girl who is just using him to feel closer to the man she really wants, a man who is totally larger than life in his mind, all while dealing with puberty turning his world upside down. And ultimately, she just disappears. Mamimi is the key to the entire show. Haruko is just a fictionalized version of her; a profoundly unhealthy relationship, a bittersweet memory, and his first love. Packing all that into 6 episodes is absolute genius.
>>214925684This is actual hell if you're not attracted to the girl. Currently dealing with that situation.
>>214925417When i heard one life by the pillows play in the background just two minutes in, i knew i was watching kino.
If getting molested by this is wrong, I don't want to be right
Exhibit B
>>214934415Isn't this technically grooming?
>>214928113It's even better once you remember that Mamimi has three pets throughout the show, names them all Takkun (after Naotas brother who pumped and dumped her), and gets left by all of them.Little cat runs away and finds a cat gf. Or bf, whatever.Naota who suddenly mans up and tries to get in her unwashed panties.And the terminal core robot thing which she feeds until it becomes too big and threatens to destroy everything. It's really a great show with a lot of nuance for being also full of dick jokes and robots battling each other.
not even close

>>214933129>illiterate>can't even read that I could never get past 5 minutes in the show Stop projecting
>>214926568> i cried watching the announcement for progressive/alternative.faggot. Had nothing to do with the original director so missed the point completely and that stupid nigger at adult swim should have had to pay back the millions of dollars he wasted on all of those abortions.
>>214933671Yes we get it, you went to prom with your high school sweetheart.
>>214933668>>214933763the chocolate cornet filter claims another victim.
>>214925474There are dozens of OVA's i'd rather watch any day over FLCL.
>>214925417It's obnoxious "lol so randum xDD" garbage.I bet you think Redline is a good film too.
>>214928019Same. It was just loud and nonsensical.
>>214928340That's not a good sign.
>>214930773Your entire post just said "i am nostalgic for this because i saw it when i was a kid".You didn't actually say any specific reason why you think it's a masterpiece.
>>214933201Ping Pong was outstanding, but it had actual characterisation. I don't understand how you can compare FLCL, which is a nonsensical ADHD panic attack, with Ping Pong which is a genuinely well written show.
>>214935996no, i was molested by an older girl when i was prepubescent
>>214934603No, its actually using someone as a one-sided emotional sponge because you can't get over someone else. Mamimi was playing with him just as much as Haruko was - she was just less outgoing and overt about it. Same thing with Scott and Knives - and that series definitely took heavy inspiration from FLCLAlso you should read the FLCL manga its fucking great.
>>214925417Yeah, watched it recently and it still holds up. The sheer energy in the animation alone is amazing.
>>214934603yes, but all the women in FLCL abuse the MC
>>214938649that's what most people miss about flcl. all the women in naota's life use him for various inane motives.
>>214933201Ping pong is sovl distilled and put on page/screen. I should be so lucky to find something on that level ever again in my life.
>>214926545Compelling series that got lost up its own ass.
>>214926545The batman part and the big robot part were so awkwardly fused together, I only lasted 5 episodes
>>214925944oh no?
