This is the best anime ever created.

If you're looking for a funny and crazy show, this is worth watching. It's intentionally esoteric, and is the kind of show that you'll want to watch twice in order to (better attempt to) pick up on everything. And despite all the plot details being difficult to figure out, the show does it in a fun way. So unlike some of the more serious mind-fuck shows you'll find, at the end of the day, you don't feel as though your brain has been unfairly molested.
Dire Penguin
It's also important to note that all the music for FLCL was done by by the amazing Japanese rock group, the pillows. The soundtrack for the show is excellent and goes a long way towards making the atmosphere work.
