FLCL

What is there to say that hasn't already been said? It's a great anime.
I'm not good at writing reviews where I list different pros and cons, so I'll just tell you the things I like about it, and maybe some things I dislike.

There's not much story to FLCL, at least, not at the surface. There's a good bit of lore you can find in the Wikia page for the show, but almost none of it is shown directly. A lot of it is simply mentioned, or left entirely for the viewer to wonder. On the surface, FLCL is simply a crazy show that doesn't take it's self too seriously for most of it's run-time.

The music in the show is absolutely amazing, all of the soundtrack being done by one band titled "The Pillows". It's mixed so well with what's happening on screen, and sets the tone of each scene perfectly. Fight scenes are fast paced yet still somewhat composed, comedic scenes are just as fast paced but have a crazy, somewhat uncontrolled flair to them, and the serious stuff really hits you hard. Using slower songs like "Bran New Lovesong". The music is the main reason I began watching this show, and every track I've listened to from The Pillows has yet to let me down. It's seriously one of the best anime soundtracks I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

The art is great, and has inspired my own art even. It fits the vibe of the show outstandingly. And allows for all the crazy moments to truly shine, with insane movements and proportion changes that might leave your head spinning if you're not paying close attention. It also plays with colors a lot, which is always a treat.

As for what I don't like:
I feel like the really creepy vibe of older girls going after this 12 year old boy will definitely put a bunch of people off. It almost did for me as well. Haruko Haruhara, the girl who's usually on the front cover of everything FLCL related, is stated to be 19 years old in the show. Though further looking at the wiki for the series makes it appear as if she was lying about that age. As it lists her age in FLCL as 19, but for the continuation of the series that recently released, it's listed as 16.
It's still creepy either way, but it plays a lot into the story and the main character Naota's psyche.

I feel like we didn't get enough character development with Haruko, as she goes from being a wacky asshole, to being somewhat sympathetic and remorseful, straight to being an asshole again within 6 episodes.

Other than that I can't think of things I don't like about the series. I feel like everything else was handled perfectly, definitely recommend any anime fan to give this one a shot. Just don't watch it if you have epilepsy, that won't be very fun.
