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). His older brother moves to America to play baseball, and leaves behind his homeless, 17-year-old girlfriend Mamimi. She starts sending mixed signals and making advances at 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 brings changes to Naota's life that lead to even further insanity.

Personal Opinions

Totalizator

This is the best anime ever created. Second best. THIS is the actual best show ever created.

Dan a man

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.

Completely and utterly insane. And yet, I like it more and more every time I re-watch it. That can't be a good thing, can it? And where did I put my eyebrows?
