Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

RetroPizzaTimeCritic FLCL is was great anime show on Adult Swim in 2004 and come back in 2018 on Toonami. Kari Wahlgren is did great job who playing the voice of Haruko Haruhara

shonenpunk For 3 hours, this shonen totally turned me into a teenager again. Mixing music, chicks, aliens and robots, FLCL tells a nonsense tale that makes more sense that you can imagine (does it?). Instead of what is expected from a coming of age anime, it's not an ecchi experience. Although it has some perverted moments, those are more for nonsense than for ecchi. With an amazing art and a lot of humor, the style of the show dances around the episodes perfectly setting the mood for the moments they are describing. And speaking of change of styles... they make some amazing references that are completely unexpected (when you see it, you will know it)! If you were (or still are) an indie nerd with a huge crush on riot grrrls while growing up, this is definitely your jam.

bmoore07 In the boring, fictional Japanese town of Mabase, a pre-teen boy named Naota (the main character) struggles with young love. More specifically, with resisting the advances of Mamimi, the girlfriend of his older brother (his older brother moved to America before this series started). FLCL sounds and looks like a relaxed romance/slice- of-life story…until a girl named Haruko crashes into Naota with her moped, knocking him unconscious and shifting the focus of the series (She KOs him again – with a baseball bat – immediately after Naota arises). After the incident, Haruko stays at Naota's house as a maid and a horn pops out of Naota's forehead every time he's horny (Double meaning?), occasionally conjuring robots from his forehead as well. This is a basic summary of FLCL (known as "Fooly Coolly"), a highly controversial series among anime fans. My question is, is this any good?I really like FLCL's stylistic shifts, the series mainly using this great slow-motion effect and a manga look for a couple of scenes. The music is also an A-plus, a rock-oriented soundtrack that strangely fits FLCL, but what I appreciate most is this anime's character portrayal. Naota's the narrator who is at times reflective and emotional, Haruko's the mean-spirited, slightly insane prankster who's a bit of a showoff, but Mamimi is on a different level from them. A desperately lonely wanderer accompanied by a schoolgirl skirt and a lit cigarette, Mamimi is obsessively attached to anything or anyone she likes, worshipping the robots from Naota's head and even burning down a school in the name of love. Mamimi evokes an unprecedented level of pity from the other characters and the audience, a confused young girl trapped inside a very confusing anime.Most renowned anime have a few undesirable traits, like a random plot twist or a terrible acting performance from a character, but I don't know where to start with FLCL. First, there's no semblance of a plot, the show lagging around here and there to the point where effort is seriously questioned. Then, there's the weird subplot midway through FLCL, the subplot being a (really) eyebrow-raising relationship between Haruko and Naota's pervert of a dad. The site I watched FLCL on had lengthy periods of delayed audio so that was another deciding factor for me. Finally, it's FLCL's attempt at comedy, everything from the character's fast-paced talking (particularly Naota and Haruko) to the awkward South Park look in one scene and, perhaps worst of all, the lame running gag of focusing on Commander Amarao's tremendously thick eyebrows. Say what you want about FLCL but it is certainly unique.During FLCL's last episode, Haruko said "Eating ramen that taste really bad can also be kinda fun too." For me, FLCL was fun. It was fun to learn things I (really) didn't need to know about the characters, to watch as FLCL shoved another crappy moment in my face when I assumed there were no more, and to joyfully look forward to FLCL's conclusion. People label FLCL a clever coming-of-age classic while I think of FLCL as the overrated culmination of whatever the production company thought would attract the most viewers. "People love robots so let's add a bunch into FLCL!" "Those otaku can't get enough of fan service so let's try to make every other scene a suggestive scene." Everybody loves South Park so we should turn a random FLCL scene into a South Park scene!" Throughout the 6-episode series, a lot of characters took a look at Naota's horn and said it was Fooly Coolly (the title of the series), but it's never explained what it means. During FLCL's last episode, Naota's father and grandfather requested Naota to explain what the term meant, naturally assuming Naota had the answer since he's the main character and everything, and Naota didn't know either. While trekking through the mess that FLCL is, I asked myself "What am I watching?" Not even the characters have a clue.

Aaron1375 Granted had the series gone on I would not have a clue as to how it would have continued with the story. It wrapped up rather nicely, though I have to say it had a really strange ending. Then again the whole series was rather strange and I am sure it was a metaphor for one thing or another not to be taken to literally. My guess something along the lines of a boy going through puberty, or something along those lines. The story has a normal, well not exactly all that normal boy going about his daily life. He has kids that are his age that he sort of hangs out with, but he also hangs out with this older girl that apparently dated his brother who is now playing baseball. Well things are not normal in this town (the giant iron that goes off and is some sort of factory is proof of that), however things are getting even less normal when a gal driving a little scooter soon hits the boy and leaves him with a very nasty head wound and soon moves into his house and life. The boy lives with a rather perverted father and introducing this gal as a new member of the household the cartoon shifts to a manga format. Yes, this show is wacky and crazy as there is also a robot and other objects come out of the boy's head (yes, you read that right). The whole show is very funny and very high energy. One of my main complaints is that sometimes the pacing is too fast and you miss a lot. The characters are great with the crazy alien chick that moves in is very funny as is the dad. The boy at times is a bit whiny, but overall I liked all the characters. To bad the show could not run longer, but on the plus side it is a rather easy show to collect on DVD.
