I just watched the first two episodes of this. I'd prefer no spoilers if all is revealed later.
Below you will find confused mumblings and in some form a cry for help. This post still makes more sense than the show.
I went online and read glowing reviews, all of which claim that it is some sort of masterpiece that can only be understood after 3 viewings or more. Apparently some people find it hilarious too in some as yet unknown way.
Anyone else see this? I like the style and animation, but after watching it and thinking about it for about a day I still have no idea whether I kind of like it or hate it. I also have no real clue what the heck is going on. For those of you who haven't seen it, this is the basic plot of the first episode:
A young kid is hanging out with this brother's girlfriend, who may or may not be trying to molest him. A weird chick on a vespa runs him over, performs CPR, then hits him with an electric guitar. This causes a weird penis-like horn to grow on his head. Which later spouts a robot and a robot arm (which the vespa chick beats up). She also runs his (dad? grandfather?) over and thus becomes their housekeeper.
I remember having the same basic reaction after listening to OK Computer, which later I did enjoy quite a lot. I also remember having the same reaction to mulholland drive, which I later thought was complete masturbatory drivel.
So far I only get about 1/1000 of the references. Maybe this anime is only for people who have watched tons of other anime and understand references (e.g. I noticed the haibane renmei references).
Summary: Watched 2 episodes of FLCL. What the?
