Title: Fooly Cooly (a.k.a. FLCL)

Genre: Weird

Creators: Gainax

Distributor: Synch-Point

TV Rating: TV-14(L)

Summary: Okay, this is the best I can do. This series is very weird. A boy is leading a normal small-town life until an alien girl with a gas-powered guitar and a motorbike smacks him on the head with her guitar, causing a robot to come out of his head. She also manages to move in with the boy’s family, causing more chaos for the town’s citizens.

The Good: The animation’s nice to look at.

The Bad: Where to start? The cartoon is very hard to understand. Nothing ever makes sense. Luckily, there are only 6 episodes.

Offensive Material: The title itself is suggestive; it means “breast-tweaking”. Despite the title’s meaning, there’s actually very little sex in the series (only episode 4 has any). The dialogue is very suggestive at times.

Overall: This is not a very entertaining series. If it weren’t for the animation and the fact that there are only 6 episodes, I wouldn’t have watched it at all. If anyone out there can understand this show, please explain it to me!

My Review: (out of 4): 1.5 Category: D (Adults only)

Note: This series has a manga based on it that is limited to two issues and published by Tokyopop.
