Sum it up in a Sentence
Very fast paced action/parody show. Involves aliens, guitars, and a giant iron.
Main Description
Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his homeless 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity.

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.

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.
